Sorry to be so long in getting back to you. As for what has been said about
the animals, the director of the Humane Society, Joni Gieger, has made
several false statements to the press. So far 20 cats have been killed by
them. They "supposedly" had Feline Leukemia, my friend had all of her
animals tested and vaccinated so that was a horrendous waste of the newly
donated funds they begged from the public and such a horrible thing to do to
healthy cats. Only a few had upper respiratory infections before they left
S.C. which was easily treatable with anti-biotics. The animals were left
with plenty of food and water in a temporary safe environment with plans the
NEXT day to get them to the promised homes awaiting them. The press saw a
story, the "Humane" Society saw a chance to get some $$$ so they slandered
and lied and killed innocent animals to get sympathy. The animals endured a
frightening 6 hour chase from the police and Humane Society workers to get
them into cages. My friend could have done it in 20 mins without scaring the
poor animals to death. There was no search warrant (illegal seizure????) and
the charges the D.A. wants to bring against my friend are all FALSE. She
will be getting a lawsuit together to sue several parties involved.
Personally I hope they all lose their jobs and get replaced with people who
are in this business for the care and welfare of animals and not for what
they can gain for themselves.
As you can tell even from as far away as Oregon, I am very involved in this.
There are several of my friends animals listed on the OAHS petfinder site.
Some of her family members have applications in to adopt the animals that
were supposed to be theirs in the first place. This whole thing is a huge
tragedy and in the end (besides my friends and her families broken hearts)
the animals are the ones who are suffering needlessly. The governor of
Wisconsin has been notified of this atrocity and hopefully he will do
something about it, though that's not too likely. I have written letters to
the Oshkosh Humane Society and the WBAY TV station. No response from either
one but I didn't expect it. At least they know not everyone believes their
lies.
Thanks for taking the time to respond and yes, I too hope everything works
out for the animals and their "former" owner.
Renée
