Katie Walter Kathie Thursday, October 19, 2006 5:05 PM MASS. SHELTER ORDERED TO KILL ALL DOGS OVER TAXES WASTED ON DOG FOOD! Ok folks, you don't have to be in rescue to help on this one. You don't even have to be a dog lover ...... just someone with a wee bit of compassion to a living creature. One woman complains that keeping the dogs too long means dog food which is a "waste of taxpayers money"!! One person, not half the damn town. Who is this person, and what kind of pull do they have that can get these lives ended on just a complaint? Please, take a few moments to call. I am unsure if they have an answering machine or not, but it's worth a try tonight. If not, start first thing in the morning. If you are outside the US., or do not have free long distance, please, take a moment to post this to not only your entire address book, but also all your friends on myspace, , as well as other groups that I don't even know of. Remember, this is in MA which means EST, 3 hours ahead of the west coast. This is the most moronic reason to take the lives of precious animals that I have ever heard of and I cannot believe the town manager would condone this. Speak up for those who have no voice! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kathie Sullivan-Parkes PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! You don't have to live in Ashburnham, MA to complain about this - only a dog lover! Please STOP this ridiculous order! Permission to spread this far and wide!

Why? Because ONE citizen complained to the town manager that the dogs are being held too long, and implied that the cost of dog food is a waste of taxpayer money. The town manager is out of the office until Thursday, but I urge you to spread the word and take action by calling town hall to complain about this decision: 978-827-4104.
