PITTSBURGH ~ TIGER RANCH rescued cats will soon be available for adoption July 23, 2009 9:24 AM




Please Note
http://tinyurl.com/c2nn1199875, PITTSBURGH ~ TIGER RANCH rescued cats will soon be available for adoption ~ "PSPCA fully intends to find homes for these cats." ~ JULY 21 UPDATE … “Please note that [a cat owner retrieval] deadline has not yet been established. Once the PSPCA has this information, we will post it on our website immediately. Please continue to check back for more information.”

By Charlie Ban, FOR THE VALLEY NEWS DISPATCH
Tuesday, July 21, 2009

Fewer than half of the cats seized from the Tiger Ranch animal shelter survived their illnesses, but the survivors should be ready soon for adoption, according to the organization caring for them.

More than 240 cats from the Frazer no-kill shelter are living in a Clarion County facility while the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals waits for their legal transfer.

Lin Marie, the owner of defunct animal sanctuary, pleaded guilty last week to 12 animal cruelty charges, which spared her almost 600 animal cruelty and other charges. Marie also was known as Linda Bruno.

During a March 2008 raid on the Tiger Ranch on Miller Drive, officials found 55 dead cats on the property, 12 others that had to be euthanized and hundreds of animal bones. They took more than 600 cats after the raid.

PSPCA spokeswoman Gail Luciani said the organization is waiting for paperwork to legally claim the cats before launching a Web site advertising the cats for adoption.

"We fully intend to find homes for these cats," she said. "We're hoping for the paperwork early this week."

Matt Collins, one of Marie's attorneys, said the paperwork in question was a forfeiture order from the district attorney. It won't involve any action by Marie.

"Rarely will a defendant 'help' with a forfeiture order," he said. "The PSPCA is basically waiting for a 'title transfer.'"

An SPCA spokesperson confirmed that cat owners who can prove they own a particular cat from Tiger Ranch may make their claims by Wednesday to get the cats. Proof of ownership would include a photo, veterinary bill or vaccination records.

PHILADELPHIA ~ TIGER RANCH ~ Stricken Animals Lose Eyes ~ Surviving Cats Continue to Heal April 22, 2008 7:11 PM

PHILADELPHIA PA ~ TIGER RANCH Update ~ Lin Marie Facing Over 500 Cruelty Charges ~ Stricken Animals Lose Eyes ~ Surviving Cats Continue to Heal

Linda Bruno (aka Lin Marie), owner of the Tiger Ranch Cat Sanctuary, has been charged with 574 counts of cruelty to animals; 203 misdemeanors and 371 summaries. Bruno had previously been charged with 13 counts of animal cruelty after the Pennsylvania SPCA (PSPCA) removed more than 400 cats, seven horses, a goat, nine chickens and seven dogs from Tiger Ranch on March 13. On April 3, District Judge Suzanne Blaschak dismissed those charges on a technicality.

"We believe the evidence supports the fact that a crime was committed," said Mike Manko, a spokesman for the DA's office.

“We are pleased that district attorney is continuing to pursue the case against Lin Marie and has refiled the cruelty charges against her,” said PSPCA CEO Howard Nelson. “We are confident that Lin Marie will be convicted of the atrocities she committed by not providing sufficient medical care and treatment for the animals left to her care at Tiger Ranch.”

Blood and tissue samples from 380 cats that were taken to the Clarion hospital tested positive for parasites and viruses including: ESCHERICHIA COLI, STAPHYLOCOCCUS, PROTEUS MIRABILUS, FELINE CALICIVIRUS, HERPES VIRUS, BORDETELLA, MYCOPLASMA FELIS and CHLAMYDOPHILAFELIS. The cats’ symptoms included upper respiratory conditions, severe muscle wasting, abscesses, dehydration, malnutrition, purulent oral ulcers, eyes completely occluded with dried mucus and other conditions that required immediate medical intervention. “Some cats had oral ulcers that prevented them from eating and a discharge from the eyes that was left unchecked and resulted in loss of vision and then the eyes themselves,” said Murarka.

PHILADELPHIA ~ Status Report, Tiger Ranch Cats: “PSPCA continues to nurse these cats back to health” April 14, 2008 12:44 PM

PHILADELPHIA PA ~ Status Report: The Tiger Ranch Cats ~ “PSPCA’s priority is to continue to nurse these cats back to health and adopt as many as possible into loving, forever homes.”

Following the PSPCA’s removal of hundreds of cats from the Tiger Ranch Cat Sanctuary in Tarentum, Pa., the PSPCA received many calls from heartsick animal lovers who had surrendered their cats at Tiger Ranch and wanted information about their pets’ well-being. These pet owners believed that their beloved cats would be adopted or left to live their last days in peace at Tiger Ranch.

Unfortunately, as a result of the raid, those that surrendered their cats now know that extremely sick and dying cats were allowed to cohabitate with healthy cats and suffering, ill animals did not receive the veterinary care they desperately needed. While at Tiger Ranch, the PSPCA found burial pits filled with thousands of dead cats, as well as many more animals that were so severely sick that they had to be humanely euthanized immediately.

The makeshift shelter in Clarion County that is housing nearly 300 sick cats taken from Tiger Ranch in Frazer was vandalized Monday morning.

According to Howard Nelson, chief executive officer of the Pennsylvania branch of the Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals, a brick was thrown through the shelter window in Shippenville. “Fortunately, no person or animal was harmed,” he said. “Terroristic acts by a group of misinformed zealots will not deter the PSPCA’s mission to help these cats.”

The surviving 278 cats continue to receive extensive veterinary care. Currently, 75 cats are in critical condition.

Activists contend the gas chambers are cruel because animals of varying sizes and weight are packed into the chamber. Because the animals absorb the gas at differing rates, some don't die while others die a slow death. Cobb shelter was cited specifically.

Vet School Worker Beat Puppies to Death! Take Action!!! October 07, 2007 3:56 AM

Vet School Worker Beat Puppies To Death- Take Action: Letters Needed to DA and Vet School Where She STILL Works! 
 Nadia StarsButterfliesGold Notes - 15 minutes ago - wsbtv.com
A 20-yr.old Univ.of Georgia student was charged with 7 counts of animal cruelty after she beat a litter of puppies to death, left them in a box behind a convenience store. Police said puppies were covered with bruises and open wounds, that "they suffered"

** PLEASE CROSS-POST ** ACTION ALERT: LETTERS NEEDED ***

We need to flood them with letters of outrage! Please contact the District Attorney and the vet school where the alleged perpetrator STILL works.

CONTACT:
1. Athens-Clarke County District Attorney
325 E. Washington St.
Athens, GA 30601
FAX: (706) 613-3247
Urge their office to seek maximum penalties, against Ashley Council, for the seven felony charges: maximum jail time (each sentence to be served consecutively) and fines, along with mandatory psychological counseling, and a prohibition against ever harboring or working with animals.
As this is an extremely violent crime, NO diversionary program should be considered.

2. University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital
Tracy Giese, Public Relations Office
Email: tgiese@uga.edu  
Urge them to immediately fire Ashley Council. It is not enough that she is no longer working with animals. Someone charged with multiple, serious animal abuse charges should not be employed at a vet school
