The Truth About Puerto Rico - Animals on the island
Jun 14, 2007

Hello to All,

I apologize if you have received this message already...I urge you that you please take the time to read this message.

It has been suggested that my signature goal may be a bit high, so I wanted to take the time to explain why I am so adamant in seeing change for these animals in this disgusting zoo and why I have set the goal that I have.

Over 4, 000 people will receive this email through my network, but how many will sign?
I am grateful for all the signatures I have gotten so far, but out of all the groups I post on and all the messages I have sent out, I am lucky to even get one signature a day.

What is so wrong with my petition? I have pictures, documents, updates, responses from the mayor and still I get no reaction from many on Care2...Is it not worth anyone's time??????  I see orgs posting their petitions to save animals in zoo's all over the world and they get thousands upon thousands upon thousands of signatures, so why are animals in Puerto Rico being ignored?

I have set a goal of 10,000 to be able to get the attention of the mayor, governor, and media of Puerto Rico. They can ignore me - one person, but they can not ignore a multitude of people who choose to give animals in PR a voice.

They have violated my rights, prevented due process,  ignore my phone calls and letters, they brake laws because they do not even know their own laws and regulations (Law 67 that protect
animals in PR...ask any of the police men - most dont even know it exists) so
they dismiss animal cruelty cases in court b/c they just don't care
about animals.

The police in the area where this zoo is
located laugh at the thought that someone would bother them with a
complaint of animal abuse. If they refused to attend me and I had two PR police agents with me, how do they treat the lone citizen who might call or come into the police station with a complaint of animal abuse and cruelty?

At this moment, they are trapping or as the newspaper quoted agents from the Agriculture and Government stated 'erradicating' monkeys on the island that managed to get to PR naturally many years ago, shooting them or
poisoning them because they feel they ruin their crops (see here:http://www.endi.com/XStatic/endi/template/nota.aspx?n=229772)

There is a huge problem with strays which the government refuses to address
seriously....many of these end up poisoned (tres pasitos - an illegal substance commonly used to do the job - Click here )by those that are not
tolerable of their presence (that is if they don't kill them in some
other horrible way or they just dont die of starvation).
Take a look at this page Click Here - then Click on the link labeled 'Sato Point of View'
A sato is a stray animal (warning - several of the pictures are graphic).



So, why do I ask for such a high number of signatures?

Because 10,000 sigs would let them know that people all over the world cared enough to
sign for these animals. Puerto Rico relies heavily upon
tourism...knowing that so many world-wide are aware of the way the
treat animals would hopefully cause them to react.

All I ask for is your signature to help these animals!

I dont benefit in ANY way...but these animals do, so please help the animals!
