this IS illegal. never in my life in NYC has something this drastic happened. DO NOT let them censor this.
how are there no charges against an officer who used an illegal chokehold that was outlawed for its killing potential on a man in clear view, with full visual and audio evidence. how are there no charges. not even negligent manslaughter.
what is it going to take, america. what is it going to take. guilty verdict or not. when do the victims get a simple fucking trial.
let’s all remember that Eric Garner was being arrested on suspicion of sale of untaxed cigarettes and the person that murdered him is named Daniel Pantaleo
remember that name and remember the fact that Daniel Panteleo was the subject of two civil lawsuits last year where he was accused of falsely arresting and abusing people
If you would feel ok taking a dog away from a young girl who is confined to a wheel chair, fining her family if they objected, and then killing the dog,there may be a place for you in city government in Moreauville, Louisiana!
On October 13, the village voted to ban pit bulls and Rottweilers.
A letter was sent out to owners saying that if they didn’t get rid of them by December 1, then they would be taken for “further disposition.”
The dog pictured above is a pit bull named Zeus. He is owned by a girl named O’Hara Owens, whose neck problems require her to wear a brace and use a wheel chair. Zeus has never been accused of any aggressive behavior, and he’s a huge comfort to O’Hara:
“If anything ever happened to him, I would just shut down,” she said. […] She says Zeus acts as a sort of “therapy dog,” providing love and support for her and her other brothers and sisters.
“I can sit here if I’m in pain, he comes and he notices it before I even make any noise,” she said.
O’Hara’s family says they will not surrender Zeus, to which Moreauville Alderman Penn Lemoine replies that the village government will take the dog by force, fine the family, and kill Zeus:
We asked Lemoine about dog attacks…
“There have been, but I don’t think they’re documented,” he said.
And, if they plan to kill the dogs they collect on December 1…
“I’d rather not elaborate on that,” he said.
“Is that what it is? Are you going to kill the dogs?” asked reporter, Brooke Buford.
“If that’s what the ordinance says, then that’s what it says,” Lemoine responded.
However, Lemoine did admit that the town might reconsider in the face of enough uproar, so O’Hara’s family created a petition for exactly that purpose. If you wouldn’t feel ok taking a dog away from a young girl who is confined to a wheel chair, fining her family if they objected, and then killing the dog, you can sign that petition here.
Hopefully, the ordinance will be overturned. I hope and think it will, thanks to the media attention and public outcry over this patently ridiculous law. But breed-specific legislation like this is not an isolated incident, and it is not ok. Learn more about this cruel abuse of animals—and liberty—here.
OKAY GUYS THIS PETITION NEEDS AT LEAST 20000 MORE SIGNATURES THE BAN IS IMPLEMENTED TODAY/TOMORROW.
