Default Memphis Animal Shelter

Those of you who know me, know I really, really like dogs. Yesterday we had another scandal break here in Memphis that has me really incensed. The Sheriff's Department raided the animal shelter because of evidence that was presented to them of criminal abuse and neglect.

Here is the link to the story.

At least 3 dogs starved to death at Memphis shelter The Commercial Appeal

Our brand new mayor (aka "Mr. Smooth", aka "Michael Corleone") has decided to return these people to work until the "investigation is complete". Our mayor does not have an e-mail address but the number of his office is 901-576-6000. If anyone wished to call his office and express a polite opinion on this and how it affects future plans to visit the city, I would certainly not mind.

Also the e-mail address of the visitor's bureau is [email protected]. A similarly themed e-mail to them might be worthwhile.

Good idea.

Cruelty to animals and the weak raises unsettling feelings in me. Makes me want to fill a sack with doorknobs.

It is a good thing that it's a long way from here to Memphis. I have spent my life dealing with and caring for critters.

Something like this brings out something really really ugly in me.

That's some more of what is left over from King Wille's reign. I know that this is just the tip of the iceburg but now we have to look forward to "Smiling Wille Jr.".
God help us.
