We all know that living life as an animal defender gains much harrassment from all walks of life from those whom are ignorant and uncaring.  It mostly comes from lack of compassion as well as just plain greed.  So what gives these people the right to harrass those of us who are trying to preserve lives and save the world?  I guess it is because they feel the need to pick on ‘the little people’.  What they fail to realize is that there are far more of us ‘animal defenders’ than there are ‘animal haters’.  We have proved that time and time again as we prevail in animal abuse cases, gather signatures to prevent needless killings of animals, and set forth a world wide movement to prevent animal cruelty and animal abuse.

Missouri Legislators discovered that their ’scare tactics’ and ‘harrassing phone calls’ are no match for the voice of the world.  This was released in the newsletter from Kinship Circle over the world’s response to Missouri Rep Jim Viebrock’s proposal on House Bill 1747 which side steps the Government Ban on Horse Slaughter.  The Pawz Cauze Show joined the band with other animal organizations, including Kinship Circle (but they were not the only ones, tho their newsletter wishes their readers to believe it was all them who accomplished the task; when in fact, it was many animal organizations who helped out all over the world) to crush this Bill before it was able to be passed.  Millions of letters and emails were sent to Missouri Legislators demanding the Bill be rejected and it was.

Then Rep. Viebrock took it a step further.  He then tried to to attach the horse slaughter provisions to an unrelated Senate Bill 795.  He thought the American people and people of the world would be stupid enough to overlook these provisions.  Once again, the same groups united to call for another world wide demand for horse slaughter to end.  Once again, we stopped them in their tracks.  This feat was NOT accomplished by one sole group but by many groups acting as one to accomplish a common goal.  As you can see, I hate it when one group takes credit for the work of many…….

Anyway, by taking sole credit for the millions of letters, faxes, phone calls, and emails being sent to the Missouri Legislators, Brenda, from Kinship Circle ended up paying the price for it.  Had she given proper credit to the hundreds of other organizations, including The Pawz Cauze Show, and activist groups on FaceBook and MySpace, Brenda would not have had to endure the harrassment she claims to have received from Missouri Legislators. 

I get death threats all the time and warnings to ‘watch my back’ when I am on my live show and in the chatroom by ignorant COWARDS who haven’t got the balls to come to my house and face me like a REAL person.  They wish to hide behind fake names and disguised voices.  Do I care? NO……..will I stop what I’m doing?  HELL NO!!!!!!  Do they scare me????  AGAIN, HELL TO THE NO!!!!!  I laugh at them because I have the courage to stand up for what I believe in and I am PROUD to be an Animal Defender!!!!!  If they want to confront me, they will see a side of me they will never soon forget because they ain’t seen me crazy yet!!!!!!!!!!  I’m still waiting for those ignorant people who claim I need to watch my back to do something about it…..have I called the police? Heck no, I don’t care about fruitless publicity.  Why should I give those clueless cowards one bit of publicity when the animals will be the winners in the end and I’ll still be alive to report the next story?

I have this to say to Rep. Casey Guernsey: You are the wacko if you get your kicks from killing helpless animals for greed and to just piss off the American people who love animals.  Please remember….us ‘clueless’ people are the ones who decide if YOU will be re-elected at the next poll.  So, I say it is more fun to piss you off to the point of making such a stupid comment that will now be heard all around the world.  We’ll see how funny you think it is when you are booted out of office and standing in line at the unemployment office!!!!!!  I know I’ll be laughing at you and thinking how much fun it was to write this article! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhaha all the way to the horse stalls to pet the loving beautiful horses WE saved that YOU tried to kill but only ended up killing your own career……When that happens, please be sure to let me know how it feels to be beaten by us ‘wackos who are incredibly clueless’…………..

Here is what the Kinship Circle newsletter had to say (and I must add that I was working with a group in Arizona over the BLM taking place and heard about Missouri from my contacts there and started my own email campaign WEEKS BEFORE Kinship Circle’s newsletter calling for action was released and Missouri Legislators had already received millions of letters from posts on FaceBook and MySpace BEFORE Kinship Circle released their campaign, in fact, it was released in my book Tears of Courage before Kinship Circle became involved…..please do not misunderstand, we are ALL working for the same goal, but I really hate it when people try to take sole credit for a group action taken by many people and other organizations):

4/6/10: HARASSMENT OF KINSHIP CIRCLE MAKES FRONT-PAGE NEWS
St. Louis Post Dispatch runs a front page story about Missouri House
Representatives tampering with public information and harassing Kinship
Circle: State Legislators Target Activist. Post also runs an editorial
against killing horses and hounding activists, Squirrelly about animals in
the Frog Kingdom. An Associated Press version runs in Washington Post, Los
Angeles Times, CBS News, Yahoo News, and more papers nationwide.

In an attempt to silence our opposition to horse slaughter…
– Some Reps forward 2,000+ unread emails to Kinship Circle’s server.
– Rep. Casey Guernsey, R-Bethany memorably tells our members: “It’s so fun to piss you wackos off.
You’re lucky I even acknowledge your existence. It’s
so much fun to taunt people like you — ha! Tell me, is it truly liberating
to be so incredibly clueless?”

– In a call to Kinship Circle’s line, from CALLER ID: Missouri State
573-522-0000, a male voice screams a tribal war chant…and hangs up.

– In another call a man sings “A Horse Is A Horse,” from the movie Mr. Ed.

– In a 10:00pm call, a creepy male voice drones “Brenda, Brenda,
Brenda…neigh…Brenda…neigh…” in reference to Kinship Circle’s Brenda
Shoss. This call frightens leads her to file a police report.

– Other calls from unidentified Reps begin with a menacing “Hey Brenda…”
In one call: “There aren’t but three people here [the MO House] who care for
you or your organization… Your group has guaranteed passage of this
bill…[because of] frickin’ emails from everyone in the world!”

Rev. Dr. Leigh Foster, aka DJ Ice, host and founder of The Pawz Cauze Show heard live on RadioGetsWild.com

On April 2, 2010, host and founder of The Pawz Cauze Show, Rev. Dr. Leigh ‘Ice’ Foster, is scheduled to make a live appearance at the sentencing hearing of Glynn Damon Johnson, the man convicted of killing 6 month old puppy, Karley.  For the full story please visit: http://www.justice4karley.com.   After the sentencing, Ice will be presenting a special handmade gift to the Toole family and presenting Pawz Applauze Winner, Scott Kolodge, with a special gift package.  She will also be signing copies of her books for those who show up with them.  You can purchase a book at http://www.lulu.com/fostersforum.

Here is a copy of an email Ice sent to some of her closest friends:

Anyone who wishes to have your opinions heard by Glynn Johnson about what he did to Karley; please feel free to email me and I will print them out and personally hand them to the proper authorities to give to him.  Please do not name call or use offensive language because those may not be given to him.  Please use intellect and a calm attitude to display your extreme disappointment in the way he acted and the decisions he has made.  These type of emails seem to have a greater effect on the convict because it forces him/her to face the reality of the actions where rude, mean, and negative emails cause anger which gets no where.  You may also wish to write the judge and jury to thank them for their decision and their compassion for Karley and her family.  I will be happy to hand deliver these as well. 

If you wish to be included in this opportunity to voice your opinions, please send your email to: ice@thepawzcauze.net and make sure to place in the ’subject line’: ‘Email for Glynn Johnson’ or ‘Email for Judge and Jury’.  No emails with curse words or name calling will be printed out and given to the person.  Please keep this in mind when writing your email.

On November 9th, 2009; we cross-posted a list of potentially harmful people posing as rescuers and transporters who are actually selling the animals to laboratories for use in painfully deadly experiments.  We did a ‘copy and paste’ from an email and the person who sent us the email had her information in the signature line that we also copied to give proper credit to the people caring enough to create these posts for us.

This INNOCENT person has since been getting grief for this post as people are mistaking her for one of the bad guys.  She is in fact, one of the GOOD guys.  So we give our apologies to:

Shari Riggs

for any and all grief she has received over this horrible mistake on our part.  Please accept our apologies.  To those who acted out of love for the animals and thought you were doing the right thing, please drop Shari a quick email of apology.  Thank you for being so loyal to the animals to take such great action of heroism.  We know you were only acting on behalf of the animals and we deeply appreciate it.

It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference. We are trying to reach 10,000 signatures - please sign here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/cuddles-dies-from-torture
