A SHELTER: They´re winning the battle against euthanasia
Jun 29, 2007
Focus: Animal Welfare
Action Request: Celebration
Location: United States

A SHELTER THAT MAKES THINGS THE RIGHT WAY !!!!

WORTHS READING AND PERHAPS A FRIEND LIVING IN THE NEARBY COULD FIND AN EMAIL ADDRESS OF THIS SHELTER. WE CAN THEN SEND THEM OUR HUGS OF HAPPINESS ON THE WAY THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF THE ANIMALS THAT ARE LEFT ASTRAY AND THAT THEY, THE MOST CARING WAY, SAVE, TAKE CARE AND DO NOT SLAUGHTER THE ONES (MAJORITY) IN REASONABLE TO GOOD CONDITIONS.

Pets spared at one shelter

04:50 PM Mountain Standard Time on Thursday, June 28, 2007
By Kim Kapilovic / 3TV producer Maricopa County Animal Care and Control is on a winning streak.

They're winning the battle against euthanasia.

The animals are now surviving in shelters.

For almost two years now, workers have not had to put down any healthy animals.

MCAAC is one of the largest in the country, taking in 55,000 animals every year. The good news is 45 percent of them will be saved this year.

"We're looking for another family pet," Christina Martinez said. "Someone stole our dog a few months ago and the kids need a family pet."

It's people like that who are helping save lives.

"Well, I guess a little more than the last 18 months now we have not had to euthanize any of our healthy animals that come in to our shelter," said Aprille Hollis, a spokeswoman.

Between 10,000 and 15,000 dogs are adopted out every year and Hollis said a lot of that has to do with the rise of animal-care groups.

"We have a bunch of really good partnerships with what's called our New Hope groups and the New Hopes come in and basically take animals that we call treatables," she said. "They just need a little more TLC to get better to be adoptable."

And that gives the healthy animals inside the shelter a longer stay, giving them a better chance at getting adopted.

But they still have to put down the animals they deem unhealthy or nonadoptable.

"We get a lot of animals that have been on the street too long and behaviorly they're just shot," Hollis said. "There is no hope to make them adoptable."

Some injured and vicious animals also get put down, but that's not all.

"We get a lot of animals. -- puppies and kittens -- that are so small, that haven't been weaned from their parents yet, their mom yet, and there's no way for us to take care of them in this facility," Hollis said.

About 28,000 animals will still have to be put down this year, but that's down from a little more than 30,000 last year, but 45 percent will be saved this year.

The best way to prevent euthanasia is to license your pet and have them spayed or neutered. The cost is $85 for dogs and $65 for cats for spay, neuter, shots and a license.

PETITION (NEW) SAVE THE BLACK SPINY TAIL IGUANAS IN FLORIDA - PLS.READ / HELP / SIGN
Oct 31, 2006
Focus: Animal Welfare
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
Message: NEW PETITION-SAVE THE BLACK SPINY TAIL IGUANAS IN FLORIDA - PLS.READ / HELP / CPOST  



PLEASE SIGN AND CPOST! PLEASE SPREAD ABOUT THIS AS IT IS URGENT. PLEASE READ AND SEE IF AND HOW YOU CAN HELP! thanks, hugs, agnesC

We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:

SAVE THE BLACK SPINY TAIL IGUANAS IN FLORIDA

Target: committee in charge Gasparilla Island iguana, SAVE THE BLACK SPINEY TAIL IGUANAS, Committee in charge of the eradication of Gasparil
Sponsor: Noreen Dickson, PETS ARE US RESCUE·                                 Signatures: 10 ·                                 Goal: 10,000 ·                                 Deadline: Ongoing... THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT UPDATE ON THE GASPARILLA ISLAND IGUANA
SITUATION - PLEASE FORWARD Sorry for the cross-post, just needed to get this
critical update out to everyone!
To whom it may concern – please forward to all interested parties / post to all relevant lists and message boards: SALE / ADOPTION NOTICE:This morning the Today Show aired a segment on the county-mandated extermination (capture and freezing) of black spiny-tail iguanas (Ctenosaura similis) on Gasparilla Island in Florida. Iguana Busters is a private company which is live-trapping the iguanas and has them available for adoption / rescue / sale right now as an alternative to euthanasia by freezing. Every iguana adopted will not be killed as long as they can be adopted out on the day of capture. New individuals are arriving daily. Anybody can apply – we are especially looking for pet wholesalers and exporters as well as private individuals. There are hundreds available for the cost of shipping. FWC and USFWS have been notified and are fully cooperating. Shipping methods have been established. Theses are healthy very high-quality Ctenosaura similis of all sizes and ages. Please contact Iguana Busters at their website www.iguanabusters.com.Every iguana that can be adopted / sold will not have to be killed by the end of the day. Please help!Susanne Kynast susanne@maineline.net SITUATION REPORT / ACTIVISM REQUESTED:A lot of you were appalled by the iguanas being stuffed into freezers on the Today Show. Here is a critical update on the issue:There are approximately 10,000 Black spiny-tailed iguanas Ctenosaura similis on Gasparilla island. They are invasive there and the residents want them gone or at least their numbers dramatically reduced. Like any invasive species they cause damage to native species, with probably the biggest issue being sea turtles. When the ordinance change exempting iguanas from protection came into effect, island residents started a free-for-all iguana killing spree with horrible consequences. Iguana Busters is a company attempting to help by removing iguanas professionally. Iguana Busters does not want to kill the iguanas if there is another option. They are willing to create holding facilities for adoption, and ship iguanas to new owners. What we need are people willing to organize an adoption campaign and reptile keepers willing to adopt. Most importantly we need anyone interested in relocating those animals back into their native range. THE KEY PROBLEM IS THAT LEE COUNTY IS ACCEPTING BIDS FOR A CONTRACT TO KILL ALL IGUANAS ON THE ISLAND. THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY LIVE SOLUTIONS AND ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT CRUELTY. Iguana Busters was considering bidding on the county contract but they are not interested in the whole-scale killing of the iguanas. Iguana Busters does NOT need your comments on humane euthanasia. In order to save the iguanas of Gasparilla island you need to protest to Elizabeth Walker at walkerl@leegov.com who is the public resources manager in charge of the iguana issue and who believes that killing them by any means is the only right thing to do. Copy your protests to Scott Trebatoski at strebatoski@leegov.com who is the Director of Animal Services in Lee County and very receptive to a humane solution, the Lee County government at questions@leegov.com, and Bonnie McGee from the iguana committee on Gasparilla island at bocabee1@comcast.net. Send information on inhumane euthanasia as well as your opinion on relocation. I offered the pet trade, adoption, and relocation into their native range as options, but Elizabeth Walker was only interested in killing them. The company which wins the contract will be FORBIDDEN to allow any iguana off the island alive! It will be up to you to change her mind. They will be meeting on the extermination contract on Tuesday October 31. PLEASE make all your concerns known to them as quickly as possible. HERE IS YOUR ONE AND ONLY CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY MAILING!! PLEASE HELP!As far as Iguana Busters is concerned, they will adopt out! Inform yourself on this species and e-mail me at susanne@maineline.net with any help you can give. If YOU can find a place for those iguanas to go, they will not die. If YOU adopt one, it will live.Please help and God bless!Susanne Kynast 



This update applies to 'Iguanas on Today Show' and 'Freezing Iguanas'
There has been an extremely important development. We have found a way to
save all the iguanas, but unless all of you take immediate action it will
not work!!!!!http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/541199968
