Help The Dog Fighting Dogs Get Justice
I’ve received many emails requesting information on how to help the dogs that were rescued from the dog fighting raids. Unfortunately I really don’t have any updates.
I do have a request from Mary K. LaHay, Director of Iowa Voters for Companion Animals, to take action ensuring the defendants in the case are punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Make a quick call to make sure the people who are charged in the dog-fighting bust don’t get off without facing punishment.
Here’s contact info for the presiding judge,
Judge Sarah Hays, US Magistrate Judge, 816/512-5775
I just called and she picked up the phone!! I simply and quickly asked her to ensure that these folks face charges. She thanked me for calling and we hung up.
I also called the number in the message below and left a message. PLEASE KEEP YOUR MESSAGES AND/OR CONVERSATIONS SHORT AND RESPECTFUL.
Please consider making these calls. It takes less than a minute!
Mary K. LaHay, Director
Iowa Voters for Companion Animals
The seven defendants from Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska who have been indicted on dog-fighting charges will be arraigned day after tomorrow. Carl, I don’t know how far you are from 400 East 9th Street in Kansas City, but the defendants indicted for dog fighting charges will be in court with Judge Sarah Hays at 11:30 on Thursday July 23. She can do whatever she chooses with these guys, and I just visited with someone from the office, and some of the accused have already hired attorneys who will be pushing for dismissal of charges. Whitworth, US Attorney who announced the charges has an office in Kansas City. His phone number is 816-426-3122 or a toll-free number is 800-733-6558. How sad it would be if these charges were dismissed.
If we want change we need to take action.

Please remember this judge also has say in what happens to the dogs- She can order the defendents to pay for their care and let the Humane Society evaluate them out and try to find some of them homes or she can do what most judges do and just order a mass killing. Please let her know these dogs have value and many can go on to happy normal lives.
Please look at how well the Vick dogs have done. Well your at it please let Roger Gogdell know how Vick needs to still be suspended from the NFL.
