Here is a sample letter to use as an example:

The Office of the Bronx County District Attorney:Thank you for recognizing public concern in the case of Tiger Lily, a kitten
scorched alive inside an oven on May 6, 2009. I understand Cheyenne Cherry,
17, is charged with felony aggravated animal cruelty, burglary, arson,
criminal trespass, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.

I respectfully ask for your utmost deliberation in the investigation of
Cherry and her accomplice, who allegedly broke into ex-roommate Valerie
Hernandez’s home and trapped Tiger Lily inside an activated stove.
Apparently, they ransacked the apartment and raised the stove’s heat before
fleeing with stolen items. The girls never heard Tiger Lily’s last screams
and scratches against the oven door.

Please seek maximum adult incarceration of two years for felony animal
cruelty. Cherry also faces possible jail terms of 15 years for second-degree
burglary, one year for arson, and four years for criminal mischief. I urge
you to hold both teens accountable. Both require psychological evaluation
and therapy. Both should be barred from possessing or working with animals.

At the very least, they ought to be interned in a juvenile detention hall
until age 18 (if applicable). Then, reassessment of the girls’ personality
traits can determine if adult imprisonment is necessary.

Adolescents who commit brutal crimes against humans usually begin with
animals. Columbine shooter Eric Harris, 18, smashed mice with a crowbar and
set them on fire. Washington D.C. serial killer Lee Boyd Malvo killed stray
cats with a slingshot. Kip Kinkle blew up a cow and burned a live cat. He
then shot 25 classmates and murdered his parents in Springfield, Oregon.
After Luke Woodham, 16, mortally stabbed his mother and shot nine others, he
confessed to bludgeoning his dog with baseball bats and setting her on fire.

These murderers, like Cherry, were able to torture and kill without remorse.
Indeed, the intentional burning of an animal is a “particularly significant
predictor of violent and even homicidal behavior,” says Dr. Randall Lockwood
of ASPCA Anti-Cruelty Initiatives and a frequent consultant for cruelty
investigators, law enforcers and mental health professionals.

Cherry “thought we would play a joke on Valerie.”  But she and her friend
are not guilty of warped humor or bad choices. Roasting a defenseless kitten
is the calculated action of a sociopath and a predator.

Thank you for prosecuting Cherry and her accomplice to the fullest degree
allowed by law.

Sincerely,
Your Name

People want to help change the world; or is it more like people want things THEIR way?  Writing with impact can help a person collect thoughts, gather evidence, and help prepare a paper that will convince by persuasion rather than portray ignorance, immaturity and anger.  The information for this show was taken from an article written by Brenda Shoss, president of Kinship Circle, freelance writer/graphic designer and journalist.

For the entire article/brochure, please visit Kinship Circle and you will find it under the brochures to download section of their website.  They have tons of wonderful information that we are going to try to share with you over the following months.

How to tune into our shows on RadioGetsWild

Posted in: Informational — The Pawz Cauze @ 9:06 pm

Hi Everyone,
I sent this to a friend of mine who wanted to tune into the show but wasn’t quite sure how.  I figured there were probably others whom were too busy to ask or too afraid.  So I figured I would give you instructions and hopefully it will help you all to tune into not just my show, but any of your favorite DJs on RadioGetsWild.  There are tons of great DJs, shows, guests, and best of all, MUSIC!  We are a music online station and we have tons of fun.  If you like it, then perhaps you would like to be a DJ or if you are a musician, you can submit your music to be played by the DJs and get promoted world wide.
http://www.radiogetswild.com
Here are some tips for the RadioGetsWild website.  When you have a chance go there and get used to the buttons and where you can easily find your way around.  Don’t let the new layout scare you.  I freaked out when we moved and I logged on and the website had changed!
 

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.  When there is a live DJ then the yahoo messenger is ‘rgwonair’, send a request to be added in as a ‘listener’. Mine is ‘dj_ice_onrgw’. I’m not on it much but when I’m on air, I am always on yahoo messenger.  I always send out a yahoo IM when I am on air.  My husband is DJ Craze and my daughter is DJ Angel.  We all send out yahoo IMs for our shows under the ‘rgwonair’ ID.  All of us are there to help so DO NOT hesitate to ask questions.  If we don’t know, we’ll direct you to Tim who is the station founder and he has all the answers.
When you get the the first page, look at the top and you will see a bunch of buttons.  If you are not a member yet, then choose ’sign up’.  It is free.  If you are a member, then click on ’sign in’. once in then you will see a lot of stuff.  I would suggest downloading the RGW toolbar.  It is awesome and you can click the play button and surf and listen all at once. You can also email your favorite DJs and all kinds of cool stuff.  It is also free.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are not a member or you don’t set your time zone, the show times will be displayed in UK time zone only.  If you sign up and sign in then set your time zone found under the account section, then the display will be in your time zone.

Scroll down just a tad when you get to the main page. You will see the DJ who is on and the DJ who is next.  Under that there are 2 players.  Click the play button on the player that best suits your connection (dial up or broadband).
On that same page you will find a small coffee cup located in the blue area, above the center box with the video from DJ Roy and the artist of the month.  Hold your control key down and click on the coffee cup.  This will bring the chatroom enter page up in a different window so you won’t loose the tunes.
This page confuses many people.  Just scroll down a little bit to a rectangle boxed area.  It says “Radio Gets Wild Chatroom”.  you will see red letters telling you to make sure your pop up blocker is off but all you have to actually do is hold down on the shift key while you click on the down arrow and choose the word “main” in the drop down menu.  Keep holding down the shift key and that will allow the chatroom page to appear.  You can continue to listen to the music while all this is going on so you don’t miss a thing.  It may take a while for it to upload so just sit back and relax.  Once the page is up you will see the DJ in the room and others, if there are others.  You can make music requests, chat with the DJ and others or just hang out and tune in.

Hope this helps a little.  I know how confusing it is the first time.  I had tons of problems until I got the hang of it.  That is why I try to be as detailed as possible so hopefully it will be easier for the new listeners.
Well, I will let you go for now.  Hope you have a wonderful evening.  If you have any problems, just give me a holler.
Pawz Up,
DJ Ice

Slashed Cat Needs Help

It was a call that will leave us with nightmares; but our pain is no where near to what “Scatt” endured.The good news? We believe he will recover.

“A cat,” the sheriff’s deputy told us, panic in his voice, “has been hurt so horribly, I can’t even look at the wounds.”

The veteran deputy who had investigated murders, now faced an animal cruelty case of untold horror. “Scatt”, he told us, was a therapy cat who resided at a church, just south of Seattle, Washington. He spent the last decade helping those who were trying to turn their lives around. In the end, one of those very people turned on him.

BROKEN RIBS – 8” KNIFE WOUND – PERFORATED LUNG –

It is a story of profound sadness, but thanks to those who acted quickly, Scatt may survive.

“Scatt” was a homeless cat who found his way to the doorstep of The Cross Church in South Seattle. The people there named him Scatt, for when they first told him to find his way home, he simply wouldn’t leave. And it was a good thing – he found kindness, and a forever home in the arms of the church staff and volunteers.

Over the last ten years, he became a “therapy cat” for humans who too were homeless, and like Scatt, down on their luck. He provided unconditional love to those who had nothing, and would curl up in the laps of complete strangers, purring.

Today, one of the very rehabilitation clients he helped, viciously attacked Scatt, nearly gutting him.

PERP ARRESTED!
According to The Cross Church’s Rehabilitation Director (who was “Scatt’s boss” during therapeutic sessions with the homeless or indigent) the perpetrator admitted to attacking Scatt. Sheriff’s deputies quickly arrested the man and booked him on First Degree Felony Animal Cruelty charges - punishable up to five years in jail and a $10,000 fine. The man, they learned, had multiple outstanding warrants against him.

Pasado’s Safe Haven teams up with veterinarians
It’s great news to know that the coward who allegedly attacked this innocent being, is in a jail cell. The courts will take care of him. But now, we need to take care of Scatt.

We need your help to support the life-saving care needed for Scatt, who is in the care of an excellent veterinary team at a south Seattle veterinary hospital. Scatt has already endured surgery to close the 8” “collarbone to tail” wound that was inflicted with a knife. His prognosis is “guarded”, the vets told us, and “optimistic”. We have every paw crossed that this little guy will make it.

Will you help? Any amount would be so appreciated.
Please donate here.

No adoption – Scatt’s church “family” wants him back – they adore him!
In addition to paying for Scatt’s medical bills, we asked if he needed long-term care at Pasado’s Safe Haven, and even an adoptive home. “No, we love him!” we were told. His family, for the last ten years, wants him back. And although we’d love to be able to wrap our arms around him and help him into his future, we know that the church, and the humans there, are his family. We’re just glad we can make him whole by helping with the medical bills. Thanks to you.

Please check pasadosafehaven.org frequently. We’ll be posting updates and photos often.
And thank you for this little being, who most likely walked up to the man who hurt him,
thinking he was his friend.

PLEASE DONATE HERE, and keep hoping that that “optimistic” prognosis comes true.
If you experience any problems with our donation form please contact us at 360.793.9393

The only way that we can help animals is with your help. With your help we can continue getting down and dirty in the trenches to save animals. Pasado’s does what the other animal orgs do not and filling the voids left unanswered by shelters: 24-hour rescue, cruelty investigations, prosecution and convictions of perpetrators of animal cruelty, writing and passing record numbers of animal cruelty laws, pet sterilization, senior animal adoption and sanctuary to factory farm animals. Pasado’s saves those sentient beings that no one else does.
