Today I got  really involved with the story about the dogs of skid row in Los Angeles.  This story is evidently well-known and nobody in authority is acting on it.  The animal rescue groupls are trying their best, but the city authorities are doing just about zip.  It is a public disgrace.

Lee could have covered that story standing on his ear.  He was a marvelous reporter and newsman.  He would have gotten to the bottom of it by Monday, or at least found out enough about what was going on to set up a series of articles.

Being as today is Saturday, all public offices in LA are closed, but he would have done primary digging at first and worked his way up.  By Monday he would have been on the phone to Mayor Bass’s office to at least hear the cover story they have prepared.

The raid on that woman’s property was totally illegal.  They never showed her any kind of paper, or summons, or document.  They also took her cell phone.  Gestapo, anyone?

I do intend to cover this more, but it will take me a lot longer to do so than it would have taken him.

Somehow, there is a money trail waiting to be uncovered.  I wonder if Mayor Bass is around or if she is on another one of her many trips to Cuba.

I am really, really tired right now.

Pray for our troops.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Today’s posts may seem extra focused on animals, but here’s what happened.

I did my usual posting, but then I spotted a story about a huge animal hoarding (possibly–don’t know all the facts yet) situation in California.  Allegedly hundreds of cats and dogs were found in very poor condition on a property in California.  The woman who owns the property sounds like she might have meant well at the beginning, but was clearly overwhelmed.  And it is an overwhelming kind of situation.  There are just so many homeless, mistreated and neglected animals out there that you need a staff and lots of support people and helpers if you intend to do that kind of work. They are usually volunteers.

My friend in Florida knows a woman there who started out very small, but with perseverance now has a tax exempt corporation.  Her biggest thing is finding lost dogs.  Specializing in one aspect of animal welfare is best, also.  You at least stand a chance of being able to accomplish something.  She does work with the locale Humane Society, but usually does the dog finding on her own.  She is a wizard at it.

I would love to adopt a pet, but right now it is not a doable thing.

I pretty much covered the story, but I’m sure more information will be available as time passes.

See you tomorrow.

Pray for our troops.

God bless everybody.
