NY - City of Buffalo Animal Control - Dogs being left outside to DIE! -

 

Laws in NY, and other states, re minimum shelter being supplied for outdoor dogs are wholly inadequate, unacceptable and reprehensible! These animals are dying because of the neglect and indifference of their guardians who are either stupid or downright cruel. Laws must change and now is the time, with this sort of photographic evidence. Please reach out to your local representatives, your State Senators and Assembly members and tell them you want them to sponsor legislation to change this!

Can someone put a petition online that demands that these outdated laws be made to conform to reality? How about HSUS? DDB? FOA? These are organizations with representatives in NY and with big mailing lists to reach out to activists everywhere.

The Mayor of Buffalo NY is Byron Brown. He's another one that you can contact if so inclined. Maybe we can collectively raise hell about this. Not sure if any "owners" are taken to task for allowing this to happen, but I'm guessing not. Please cross post all over.

It is not Animal Control's fault that they are picking up dead dogs, but it needs to be determined WHO, if anyone, is doing follow-up...and what their policies are. Buffalo certainly doesn't need this stigma. Mayor Byron Brown -

"Julie Stayer" julie (at spbr.org)Thursday, February 05, 2009 12:41 PMDogs being left outside to DIE! - A person contacted our rescue with this story and picture.

He was at Wilson Farms around 10:30 am the other day. He noticed a"City of Buffalo Animal Control" vehicle. He noticed something protruding from the vehicle. Upon closer investigation, he saw that the back of the truck was loaded with dead dogs, about 12, mostly Pit bulls that were frozen solid.The Animal Control Officer informed the man that he drives around all day and picks up dead dogs, mostly Pit bulls, that are left outside to die.Bottom line, there needs to be more education, media coverage and penalties for this abuse. I think we've all tried to call about these cases and are told that as long as the dog has shelter, that there is nothing that can legally be done. That needs to change.I have contacted Channel 2, who would like to investigate. A fellow rescuer of mine, also a part of Smilin' Pit Bull Rescue, has contacted Channel 4, who is also interested.Please forward to fellow animal lovers, local leaders, everyone who has a voice.Thank you!Julie StayerSmilin' Pit Bull Rescue Volunteer
