The Pawz Cauze

On November 9th, 2009; we cross-posted a list of potentially harmful people posing as rescuers and transporters who are actually selling the animals to laboratories for use in painfully deadly experiments.  We did a ‘copy and paste’ from an email and the person who sent us the email had her information in the signature line that we also copied to give proper credit to the people caring enough to create these posts for us.

This INNOCENT person has since been getting grief for this post as people are mistaking her for one of the bad guys.  She is in fact, one of the GOOD guys.  So we give our apologies to:

Shari Riggs
Almost Home Bullies CRR&AER Volunteer
http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/OH814.html
http://www.animalliberationfront.org
http://www.pbrc.net
http://www.hsus.org

for any and all grief she has received over this horrible mistake on our part.  Please accept our apologies.  To those who acted out of love for the animals and thought you were doing the right thing, please drop Shari a quick email of apology.  Thank you for being so loyal to the animals to take such great action of heroism.  We know you were only acting on behalf of the animals and we deeply appreciate it.

Pawz Up,

The Pawz Cauze Team

I know what your thinking….”after all we’ve heard, YOU’RE going to have him BACK on the show?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!”  Yes I am and this time it will be LIVE and YOU can confront Zeke Loftin yourself!!!!!  We’re going to expose Zeke for what he REALLY is!!!!!!!

Now, here are the rules:

You can try to call in but we are having trouble with the phone lines.  I think it is because people think they have to use the computer and their phone when all you need to do is talk on the phone, really no computer required, I think anyway.  I’m not really too sure but I know I have to talk into my phone and I don’t even have to be near my computer.  My husband man’s the switchboard and chat room for me. 

You need to preregister at: www.blogtalkradio.com/thepawzcauze then on Saturday November 17th at 7pm EST (if you go to that web site it will tell you the time it will air in your time zone), log in, click the BlogTalkRadio button located directly under the show’s logo to listen in, the call in number is there and when you are selected to be on the air, you will hear our voices come through YOUR phone receiver, not your computer speakers, or you can enter the chat room where my husband will be taking your questions then giving them to me to confront Zeke with.

You can ask him ANYTHING you want. NOTHING is off limits unless it is a charge that is still “pending”.  He has 2 charges still pending that, by law, we are not allowed to discuss.  Beyond that, SKY IS THE LIMIT!

You have a problem with Zeke Loftin then Saturday, November 17th is Zeke’s day of reckoning and I am the judge and you all are the attorneys.  So start digging and see what you come up with to ask.  This is a show that will go down in history as the most revealing show EVER!!!!!!!!!

Be there to hear it for yourself Zeke Loftin EXPOSED show #52

 39 Update with Tammy Grimes: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Even with a pending trial, Tammy Grimes remains hard at work at the Dogs Deserve Better headquarters.  We were fortunate enough to catch up with Tammy and get the straight scoop as too upcoming events.  We also did a tribute to Tamar Sherman, the California Area Dogs Deserve Better Representative who lost her fight against breast cancer in May of 2007.  Our condolences to her family and to Dogs Deserve Better.  Tamar will be greatly missed.  We played Cry by Pandamonia in honor of Tamar.  (Cry is the song Pandamonia wrote for the Moon Bears who we are also trying to help “free from a life in a pen”.)

So please join us as we discuss the passing of Tamar, the upcoming trial, Doogie, Unchain the 50, and Celebrity Collars for Dollars!  I also have a temper tantrum over Tinkebell and Tammy and I set the record straight about where we stand on the animal “welfare, rights, and activist” issue.  This is a great show, so be sure to download your FREE copy today!

 07 The Eyes Heard Around World: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

How can an animal abuse case that happened in Dallas, Texas impact the entire World?  All you have to do is look at the photo of Mercy and see her eyes to find your answer.  Jonnie England, Executive Director of Operation Kindness was our special guest to discuss Mercy’s story in graphic detail (it wasn’t too bad, but you may still need a box of tissues to make it through this show!  I know I did!).

These eyes have been an inspiration to thousands upon thousands of people whom have vowed to NEVER let her memory die, or her death to be in vein.  I am one of those people and this podcast is a reflection of one of those promises. 

Maria Daines is another person who was so touched by Mercy and her story that Maria wrote one of the most beautiful haunting songs in honor of Mercy that I have ever heard.  The name of the song is Rainbow Bridge and if this podcast doesn’t make you cry, her song sure will.  Thank you Maria for such a beautiful song from your heart!  The video that accompanies the song was masterfully put together and is a wonderful compliment to the song.

Larry Powell was also mentioned by Jonnie England during the interview as another soul touched deeply by Mercy’s story.  Larry did extensive blogging on behalf of Mercy and Operation Kindness.  I went to his site and was extremely impressed with the hard work this man does to help the animals!

Photographers, painters, artists, bloggers, writers, journalists, reporters, song writers, singers, podcasters, the list of lives touched by these eyes goes on and on and on!  I was so touched by her story that I not only started this podcast to help spread the word on animal abuse, but I also created a beautiful memorial garden stone in her honor for Operation Kindness. 

The stone I kept for myself:

The stone I sent to Operation Kindness:

I know I promised that her graphic photos would be on this site, but I have since decided that I would simply place a link to those photos so you can view them when you are ready.  I must say, to really understand what this dog endured, you really must take a look at the photos.  However, here is a photo you need to memorize as it is the face of a cold-blooded killer, Deshawn Brown and his innocent victim, Mercy:

 Standard Podcast: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I had the extreme pleasure of having Tammy Grimes founder of Dogs Deserve Better as my special guest today.  Did you know that Tammy Grimes LOVES cats or that she was also in the Air Force?  I didn’t until we began chatting away and these things came up completely out of the blue (ok, with a little coaxing from me).  She also takes care of two feral cats that live outside.  Now that is my kind of person!

Here is an outline of the things we discussed:

• Our opinions to the meaning of the words “Animal Welfare and Animal Rights”
• Her time on a chain (33 hours); Note: If you have not read this story, it is incredibly interesting!
• I had to talk about my cat, Dreamsycle, and his wonderful climbing tricks (I love to talk about my cats)
• Our feral cats just had to be mentioned.
• I can’t do a show without talking about Mercy!
• Why she started Dogs Deserve Better
• Touched on her time in the Air Force
• We even talked about our admiration of one of America’s favorite T.V. Game Show Hosts who is planning to retire in June of 2007, Mr. Bob Barker.
• We even discussed Doggie, his “owners” and some of her other rescues.

This show is packed full of great information and lots of rumor “debunking”.  I certainly hope you get a chance to “tune in”!  Thank you so much for listening!
