A San Diego police dog found dead in the back of his handlers car amid triple-digit temperatures died of a heat stroke.....

A San Diego police officer will do no jail time for killing his dog!!!!!

The most that he can recieve is not to be allowed to have another animal.....but we're talking about a police officer.....the penalty listed above is for us civilians and does not apply to law enforcement.....

Truth be known.....he might get a slap on the wrist.....given another dog and sent back out on the streets with yet another unaware police dog.....

This just proves to me that law enforcement has double standards.....

How many other cases such as this have gone unreported.....

TO THE TAXPAYERS OF SAN DIEGO.....Is this why you pay taxes......to both train the police office and train the k-9 and then allow the dog to die.....

He should be charged with felony animal cruelty and negligence, suspended without pay and sent to a school that will teach him how to take care of his dog.....But then again, we're talking about the law here.....you know, double standards.....

EXCUSE # 1.....I can't afford to have my animal spayed or neutered.....

The local classified pet section for one day has ads for 175 dogs and 30 ads for cats, along with 2 ads for stud service.....

Some ads had pictures of one to seven pups....

You have to wonder how many of these animals will be 'fixed', abandoned, mistreated or end up at the local spca for 'humane euthanization'.....those two words should never be used together.....

To all of you who use the excuse "I can't afford it".....There are plenty of free clinics around the state that will help you with your pet.....

To those who give love and care to their pets, the staff at "HOMEWARDBOUND KITTENS", thanks you.....

IT HAS BEEN SAID....."Never trust a man who mistreats his pet.....for he will likewise do the same to you"

LAW WON'T HELP ANIMALS.....A recent "Los Angeles Times" article stated that L.A. County estimates that only 60% of all dogs in the county are licensed.  Estimates for the city of L.A. is a dismal 13%.....

People don't bother to register, immunize, alter when appropriate, or otherwise properly care for their pets.....Yet both entities seem to think that a mandatory spy-neuter bill will have and effect on the number of pets in the local animal control facility.....

All such a law would accomplish would be additional regulation on people who obey the law and license, spay-neuter their animals.....It would have no impact on the jerks that don't give a damn as to how many animals they bring into a world thats already in a pet crisis.....

BEAR PROBLEM.....{recent letter to the editor}

LEAVE THE BEAR ALONE.....A recent article refers to a lady getting mauled by a wild bear.....

These animals are wild and will do what it takes to survive.....

Around 350 million people live here.  When one is attacked in the wild our great government saviors feel the urge to kill every bear and sample it until they are sure they got it right, no matter the amount of wildlife they kill.....

You would think the manpower could be better used doing something to conserve wildlife instead of destroying it!!!!!

A wise old proverb says....."If you don't want to be eaten by sharks, don't go swimming in the ocean.....'

I see by the computer clock that it's almost 10 pm.....time to bring this to a close.....

Ya' all have a great rest of the day.....and a better tomorrow.....ttfn.....Reid and Debbie
