Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Hi all, there are several online petetions against the dog and cat trade which can be signed at http://itstheirdestiny.2kat.net for those who might not have come across them yet. The below story is also worth reading, best Helena - ITD Undisclosed-Recipient:; Sunday, June 15, 2003 11:31 AM {Spam?} ITD Update 14/06/03 " It's Their Destiny " 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.

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.
