Pasado's Safe Haven -The Truth Comes Out

How does the saying go....? Karma is a B____!

http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20090517/NEWS01/705179943&news01ad=1#Pasados.Safe.Haven.Charity.is.a.force.for.animals.but.critics.question.tactics.finances

Caution - When reading this article please do not judge the many great people and volunteers associated with this organization who have nothing to do with the alleged questionable activities mentioned. Pasados staff have done great work w/ KCACC and many other organizations and have saved many precious animals lives.

Just like what has happened at KCACC the staff are the innocent victims of the fallout from the deviant and questionable behavior of the ones who are there for there own benefit and political gain. Hurray for the staff brave enough to come forward and expose the truth!

Maybe the Seattle Humane Society will be next.................................

Does this Sound Familiar? Yes, This is Happening in King County Too!

To the editor; Let’s focus on helping animals in Minnesota, first

The Hastings Star-Gazette
Published Thursday, May 07, 2009

To the editor,

As I write this, I am packing to leave for the No Kill Conference in Washington D.C. this weekend. At the same time, a petition is being circulated asking Minnesota's largest animal welfare organization to reduce their high kill rates. Ironically, at the same time, I have gotten multiple reports that yet another out-of-state transport of animals is headed into Minnesota, this time reportedly, from Oklahoma. The numbers of animals in this transport are reported to be "very large" and headed to the Animal Humane Society, the same organization that is the focus of the above-referenced petition.

Given that we have a poor save rate in our local shelters, and given that transport of animals across the country is expensive and time consuming, isn't it worth asking whether or not we should focus our attention on helping the animals in Minnesota, before we import more from other locals? Can't we do better than this, really?

For more information about the petition referenced above, please visit:http://www.thep etitionsite.com/1/14500 -unnecessary-deaths-by-ahs-in-minnesota.
