News items on Asian animal abuse

 

14th June 2003

1) Dog eating in USA 2) Free Anti-Virus

 

Dear Friends

 

We are hearing increasingly throughout the

west of dogs being killed for meat in our own countries in defiance of our

laws. On the 20th November 2001, a local TV station in New York sparked off

a furore when it revealed to millions of Americans that Korean immigrants

had imported their habit of dog eating to the USA. In 2002, Australians were

outraged to learn that Asians were eating dogs in Australia. Only last week,

our colleagues at Sirius GAO (http://sirius.2kat.net) uncovered a dog farm

in New Zealand (please visit their site for more details and please don't

forget to sign their Swiss petition at

http://www.petitionpetition.com/cgi/petition.cgi?id=5335).

 

The first item is particularly worrying in

that the suspects involved in this latest USA crime appear to be Caucasian,

although the dog was made to suffer in the Asian manner. It is imperative

that all dog and cat eaters of whatever race or cultural background

understand that such abuses of companion animals will not be tolerated in

the western world. This case is a stark lesson to anyone who is tempted to

allow their righteous indignation to degenerate into racism. We must always

be vigilant for such activities in our own neighbourhoods, whether

perpetrated by Asians, Caucasians, Africans, or anyone else. We can never

afford complacency.

Jonesboro

Kathy Morris Reports

Police Investigating Dog Eating

 

June 11, 2003

Posted at: 10:08 p.m. CDT

 

JONESBORO, Ark. -- Jonesboro Police

detectives want to talk with two residents about the apparent beating (to)

death and consumption of a dog.

 

It's believed that a chow-breed dog was taken

from his owner's home in Jonesboro sometime between late Friday night and

late Saturday night.

 

Local animal lovers are pushing police so

that, if the suspects are arrested, they get the highest possible penalty

placed against them.

 

Jared Kemp now only has the toy his chow

named Pooh liked to play with. Kemp and his father say they noticed their

family dog was missing from their home on West Elm Avenue in the early

morning hours on Sunday.

 

" It's a very peaceful neighborhood, " said

neighbor, and dog owner, Karla Benzing. " For the most part. "

 

Benzing's other neighbor across the street is

suspected, however, of committing an almost unimaginable act: Beating to

death a dog, grilling it, and then eating it. Local animal lovers are

pushing police so that, if the suspects are arrested, they get the highest

possible penalty placed against them.

 

A police report was filed Sunday night by

three acquaintances, including a relative, of Matthew Harden, the man

alleged to have committed the crime. The three, according to the police,

told an officer that they did not believe Harden's alleged claim that he

killed the dog. That is until they discovered parts of a dog remaining on

the grill at a home at Harden's residence at 500 West Elm.

 

According to a police report: " Upon looking

inside the grill, under the lid, (the officer) saw two canine paws inside a

Ziplock (sic) bag along with blood stained paper towels. "

 

The report goes on to state that another

Jonesboro man, Nick Allison, is suspected of assisting Harden.

 

Harden's friends say that he claimed to use a

ladder to hang the dog in order to process the carcass. Investigators say

that a nylon rope was found at the base of a ladder that appeared to have

blood stains on it.

 

" I believe it's 95 percent of the serial

killers that have ever been caught and convicted have confessed to the fact

that they started with torturing and maiming and killing animals, " said

animal advocate Wanda Turner of Northeast Arkansans for Animals.

 

Harden and Allison could be charged with

Animal Cruelty, a Class A misdemeanor. Turner hopes they'll also be charged

with the Class D felony of Criminal Mischief because, she says, a court

could view Pooh as property.

 

" It's a lack of respect for life, " said

Turner. " And it's got to change. "

 

The loss of Pooh is only the latest of

tragedies that have hit the Kemp family. Jared Kemp lost his grandfather

last week; and, last year, another family dog passed away.

By now virtually everyone has heard of

Bugbear B, the latest virus to threaten our PCs. Hopefully, most of you have

a good anti-virus installed and so are reasonably safe. To anyone that has

no such protection, we STRONGLY recommend AVG, a FREE updateable anti-virus.
