How many animal advocates that you know, have been arrested and convicted for their work? Tammy Grimes of Dogs Deserve Better was just pronounced guilty earlier today for her "crime" of rescuing a chained, distressed dog from its prison.
I wanted you to hear it from me before you heard it from anyone else. Today at 5:00 p.m. EST I was convicted of theft and receiving stolen property in a Blair County, PA courtroom.
I'm sure I will have much more to say about this at a future date. For now I need a day or two to mourn and then begin to pick up my pieces and move on.
Please realize this is just a bump in my road, and I will not stop working for chained and penned dogs. I hope those of you who are on this list as supporters will stay with me...but I need you still believe in me and the work I've done to free dogs from lives of hell on the end of chains. To still believe in us and the differences we are beginning to make in the lives of chained dogs.
If you are not familiar with this issue, or if you would like to extend support to Tammy for her earnest and brave actions on behalf of chained dogs, please visit her site. Be aware though, some of the photos there will break your heart.
DDB is asking for holiday donations and support of (formerly chained) rescued dogs, as well. I don't often post solicitations here, but I make an exception for DDB.
