when people say: Iam not an animal and should be treated better, know that all deserve to be treated better and if we protected the races of other animals we in turn would be protecting ourselves. when we put beings beneath the human animal that same person has already become a victim to others who would do the same to them... the fate of one is reflected back in the fates of all...
protect life, prosecute those that seek to destroy our shared home and our fellow beings
life has value beyond measure, all life
Peace and Love

I was promised an education in the legal industry making extensive wages. As a result, I was profiled as a lesbian and arbitrarily arrested excessively since 1989-1995 (approx 40 times-landing in prison on July 4th, arrested on Martin Luther King Day, arrested 1st business day of 2011, sent to a mental institution on March 1, 2011: my birthday). When I was wrongfully convicted of "stalking", the status was enhanced to include a "sex offense" after I was sent to prison. Branded a “sex offender,” I lost custody of my two sons.

All legal activities others are entitled to have become illegal for me. All my business ventures were deliberately destroyed and frustrated and U.S. officials, state and federal judges have left me to languish resulting in loss of liberty, civil rights, productive lifestyles, financial and personal ruin, mental anguish, social condemnation and personal and family embarrassment.

I have appealed to the Federal courts since 1995 and ALL of my cases were dismissed without review. All of the difficult and dedicated work I've done was ignored while federal judges demanded that I complete more work. Even though Federal judges know I am not the “Betty Crocker” type girl, they have become obsessed with “curative rape” by forcing their disregard on me making me an object of ridicule and scorn in order that I submit to and service their American Men.

As a result of my legal battles against the U.S. Government, I have become an extremely unfavorable person subjected to and having to suffer severe retaliation. I noticed my $100k rightfully inherited trust fund was wrongfully pilfered/seized after I asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to suspend the powers of the trustee. I also noticed that at least two attempts to entrap me in illegal ponzi schemes occurred while I was suffering brutality at the hands of the Lassen County community in California. I have also lost other real property and vehicles wrongfully seized and confiscated by the states of California and Oregon authorities.

The state and federal courts, in both California and Oregon, deliberately set me up to fail refusing to grant me asylum or protection from persecution and using me as a human battering instrument for others in the community to abuse, physically and emotionally. Those in the community banter me because they just want me to shut up and go away and endure the sexual harassment.

The U.S. Government endorsed this cruel and unusual punishment by continuing to identify me as a sex offender, allowing me to be defined as someone who has been convicted, at any time, of any sex offense or [who] engaged in sexual misconduct during the course of an offense. They have continued to recommend that I receive disparate treatment making it their constitutional duty to inculcate cruel and unusual punishment by portraying me to the public that “sexual assault is a heinous crime committed by Offenders with deviant behavior patterns that cannot be controlled by incarceration alone.”

There is now substantiated evidence that I am being been tortured to premeditate my murder using their power of abuse to maliciously disintegrate my health. Local, state, and federal officials have targeted me by using punks to menace and drive me from city to city, state to state. They have also used individuals to perjure and lie in an effort to cause extreme mental and emotional anguish in an effort to successfully incarcerate me. They have invalidated all of my legal activities others are entitled to by rendering them criminal. Officials have severely crippled my very difficult work (even while bearing children):

http://appeals4justice.zoomshare.com/files/Resumes.pdf

They have forced me to live in a state of continued physical torture, mental and emotional abuse, and oppression for over 25 years. The pattern of abuse by officials have always been to intrude on my employment activities to traumatizing me. This has been their assurance to send me to jail. 25 years of the same pattern of abuse. http://judiciary.zoomshare.com.

My case is now pending at the Inter-American Commission for Human Trafficking:
CASE NO.: A149568, CASE NO: 11C96000, Court of Appeals (9th Cir): 11-35438, Circuit Ct. Associated Cases: No: 09-1352; 11-464CR; OR Supreme Ct.: S058661, Ct. of App.: A145734, OR Fed Dist Ct.: 10CV3062, Inter-American Commission On Human Rights, Organization Of American States CASE NO.: P-878-09; ICC Communication OTP-CR-886/09

It's sickening how people are abused and exploited at the hands of evil people with dollar signs in their eyes and malice in their souls. Thanks Rose.

There is something inherently wrong with our judicial system that requires many months, in this case 7, of "gathering evidence" (or is it running around stupidly like Keystone cops) to make arrests/bring charges against only 4 people. Yes, you don't want to charge the wrong people and god forbid, charge pimps with a crime and have them get off (which they do regularly) and "look bad". I guess it' s better for these sex slave to endure unspeakable treatment while some undermanned and underfunded group tries to gather the iron clad evidence that our judicial system demands to protect the guilty. Disgusting.

Michael Moffat, you are indeed an exceptional human being. You are one of the very few who understand, and accept, the importance and worth of all beings on this planet. How tragic there aren't more like you.

While I find sex trafficking repulsive find the title of this article quite offensive. It implies that humans are not animals, which we are, and that it is acceptable to rape animals. I will not go into a whole tirade because I know that this is a serious matter . I do not want to see girls/women subjected to such horrors but I do not want to see the same happening to innocent animals.

She's right, I think, about what she said at the very end. "Just for once, think of us as your children". What is wrong with the people who do such things? Would they do them to their own children? This division into us and them, this artifice we use to keep us apart and afraid must fall before this can change forever. When we finally understand that we are one people sharing one world and that each and every soul sharing this beautiful blue oasis in the vastness of the universe IS our child, our brother, our sister, our mother, our father, NOT some "other", but US, then we can stop this brutality and live as family, as civilized people must. We were gifted with sentience that we might know this, come to understand that we are not separate tribes, but all the same, children of the same Creator, and none of us should be treated this way. We have the right, as people, to band together and make rules that allow us to live in peace and walk safely anywhere at any time and we have the right to insist that those who refuse to abide by those rules that protect us all, forfeit forever their right to walk freely among us. They have proven by their inhumanity, by their own actions, that the rest of us are not safe while they are free. We can be more than they, we can be civilized in how we confine them, but confine them we must or stories like this will never end. And they must for it is not for such as this that we were born. It seems some pre-humans have survived to this day, find them, segregate them, let them go extinct, that the rest of us might live in safety and walk in the light of the love we came from, demonstrate the love we are, and be true to the love to which we will return. Anything less is simply subhuman and we are better than that. Most of us. We can't let this ugly vicious minority rule our world. We need take it back and remove them from our midst. We've a long way to go but it is a journey worth making. For Soo, for me, for you and for all our children.

This is so sad what this poor girl and others like her have had to do, just to keep from being killed. This is HORRIBLE. These girls have not had a life, being locked up all the time and being raped over and over. Somebody had to know about this, besides the scum-bags that where raping these girls. You can't hide things like this and somebody could have spoken up to help them. Everyone of these low-life, sorry excuses for men, should be in prison and let them be raped everyday for the rest of there miserable lives. This is something that they will never get over, but I'm so very glad that they are free from these HORRIBLE men. My heart goes out to all these poor young girls and young women. Hopefully, life will be better for you all.

It implies that humans are not animals, which we are, and that it is acceptable to rape animals @ Kate it is only a figure of speech, I hate animals being hurt any anyway!

If I said : I woke with a sore head like a bear" I would not mean bears are bad

@ Kate Kenner again I am sure you have heard "they shoot horses don't they" meaning they put down horses with a broken leg but it cant be done for "humans who are suffering from some awful disease>

Kate, I am not having a go at you thank you for noting this story
I just think you took what those people who went through so much horror and what they said re animals was taken out of context

Thanks Rose for sharing this story! Heartbreaking! And I agree with you that it is just a "figure of speech" though it is a terrible one and can easily be misunderstood.
