THE LATEST MESSAGE TO MAYOR DE BLASIO: June 22, 2014 Dear Mayor de Blasio: During the six months Ive been writing to you, Ive tried to offer some enlightenment about NYC animal shelters youll likely never hear from the people that manage them, because to put it mildly, AC&C management are master liars and deceivers. However, I suspect that much of what Ive told you you already knew or you wouldnt have mentioned reforming NYC shelters during your campaign. Yet, as with every story, there are 3 sides: The AC&Cs side, the DOHs side and the truth people see every day. Much of what Ive told you is verified in former Borough President and now Comptroller Scott M. Stringers Led Stray expose, so Im presuming youre familiar with it. But even as Mr. Stringers report is scathing and shocking, it doesnt focus on the incessant abuses or draconian policies of the DOH and AC&C simply because those agencies have perfected the art of deception and know well how to conceal the truth from prying eyes. Of course they know whats actually going on - theyve been doing this for years with complete impunity. Assuming that what I just said is true, its the very reason I initiated the petition below demanding an investigation at the state level, because its evident that if NYC allowed these deficiencies to exist for 18 years, its not likely to correct itself. gopetition/petitions/new-york-city-animal-shelters-are-in-violation-of-humane-laws-and-conducting-a-veiled-conspiracy-of-murder-we-demand-an-investigation.html Having served this petition on Attorney General, Eric T. Schneiderman multiple times, Governor Cuomo and you, one would think that ignoring and defying the will of 21,417+ people that have been pleading for shelter reform for many, many years is the final insult. Now the buck stops with you. That, unfortunately, is your bad luck. Still, you promised shelter reform and promises must be kept. While you dawdled, one hundred-eleven (111) dogs and a slew of cats have lost their lives in NYC shelters in 22 days and let me tell you, this reality truly defies logic. As the current system exists, playing musical chairs with shelter management will not fix a system broken beyond repair. Mismanagement is ingrained in DOH and AC&C Operating Policies and the absence of new ideas and the unwillingness to effect positive changes undermines any attempts there might be to reform the existing system. What we have here is Einsteins definition of insanity: Repeating the same mistakes and hoping for a different result. Its a fact that most broken things can be fixed, but until the day arrives that someone in NYC can resurrect the dead, we have to accept that there are also some things that will never be fixed until we have the willingness to acknowledge that maybe our priorites are in disarray. For the animals below life is gone forever, but their lives mattered, Mayor de Blasio, because they were innocents that had the misfortune of being born in a city that thinks its the best in the world. Not when its standing on a mountain of corpses it isnt. Make it be the best again. Make all life matter in NYC. This isnt just a request, its a plea. ___________________________ MURDERED ON JUNE 19, 2014 https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=816816314997916&set=a.814171975262350.1073743165.152876678058553&type=3&theater [ROCKY, 4 YEARS OLD, VISIBLY EMACIATED AND YET LOVING AND PATIENT ENOUGH TO SMILE FOR HIS PICTURE.

FOR 4 WHOLE YEARS HE JUST LONGED FOR THE LIFE HE NEVER GOT. ROCKYS LIFE ENDED IN A PLACE SO HORRIFIC, SO BRUTAL, THE PEOPLE THAT RUN IT AND WORK IN IT NEED TO LIVE IN IT FOR JUST 3 DAYS. ROCKY SUFFERED THROUGH 13 DAYS JUST AS YOU SEE HIM - BRIGHT-EYED, SMILING AND SKELETAL, BUT HE HAD A HEART AND THE HEART HOLDS EVERY TRUTH THERE IS, AND THAT TRUTH IS THAT POOR ROCKY RAN INTO HUMANS, THE WORST PREDATORS ON THE EARTH AND HE DIED FOR IT.] https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=821920684487479&set=a.814171975262350.1073743165.152876678058553&type=3&theater [BUDDY, 3 YEARS OLD AND SO HANDSOME HIS FACE BELONGED ON THE COVER OF A DOG MAGAZINE.

REJECTED BY YET ANOTHER NYC LANDLORD WHILE A MAYOR PROMISES MORE PET-FRIENDLY HOMES, BUDDYS LAST MOMENTS ARE WHAT EVERY COMPLICIT PERSON IN HIS DEATH DESERVES IN THEIRS.

THOUGH FROLLIC LANGUISHED IN THE MANHATTAN SHITHOLE SINCE 06/06, HE WAS MURDERED ON 06/19 WITH NO PHYSICAL EXAM AND NO BEHAVIORAL EXAMINATION. WHEN THE DOH ISNT MANIPULATING SHELTER FUNDS AND IGNORING AN EPIDEMIC, THE DOH IS ISSUING CONDEMNATIONS. WHAT BUSINESS THE DOH HAS IN SHELTER AND ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES REMAINS A MYSTERY, BUT SOMEHOW THE DOHS INVOLVEMENT ALWAYS ENDS UP IN DEATH.] MURDERED ON JUNE 20, 2014 https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=823444221001792&set=a.814171975262350.1073743165.152876678058553&type=3&theater [SMOOCHY, JUST 10 MONTHS OLD.

ON INTAKE TO THE BKLYN SLAUGHTERHOUSE ON 06/08, ROCKY WAS BRIGHT, ALERT, RESPONSIVE AND HYDRATED AND GIVEN A LIMITED EXAM BECAUSE HE SNARLED AND BARED HIS TEETH AT THE STRANGER THAT SOUGHT TO VIOLATE HIS DIGNITY. WITH NO FURTHER EXAM AND NO BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT AFTER HE ACCLIMATED TO THE SHELTER ENVIRONMENT, ROCKY WAS DRAGGED OFF TO HIS DEATH ON 06/20.
