Ground Zero for Fighting Abusive Animal Control is in Ohio

AUG 31, 2017 — SPCAs and Humane Societies publicize the suffering of abused and neglected animals. All of us are familiar with the television commercials of heart-breaking stories of dogs and cats subjected to cruelty or abandonment.

 PETITION UPDATE

Lee Nesler of Lake Humane Society Ignores Change.org Petition: MAY 3, 2017 — People are asking about the welfare of the kitties seized from CK by LHS. The contact to find out is Lee Nesler at Lake Humane Society. The last authorized photograph we have was taken December 20th, 2016 by our photographer. The last known location was a restricted warehouse directly across the parking lot from LHS' main building. We currently have no current information on their condition or whether they have all been euthanized. The Global Petition for the return of the kitties was hand-delivered to Lake Humane Society on April 18th for Lee Nesler. To our knowledge, there was no reply or acknowledgement: https://www.change.org/p/10781507/u/20174627?utm_source=petition_update&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=fb_comment&fb_comment_id=fbc_1324712047598035_1326472574088649_1326472574088649#f32035643e56ac8

There is a secret cancer eroding the lives of animal lovers and pet owners in Ohio. No. This isn't a film or a plot to a suspense novel. It's worse. It's real. This deadly abscess is an Illegal Enterprise operating through a pattern of Racketeering; it is called the Ohio Humane Society and its County affiliates. Those groups, who are relied upon to protect animals, instead steal, torment, and, if they can't be sold, kill their helpless charges. The out-of-control criminal behavior of Humane Societies is a hidden national problem. As a former thirty year Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting white collar crime, it is my firm belief that Humane Societies in the United States may be the largest criminal organization in America today.

Caroline's Kids helps, old and sick cats, like myself, to live out their lives with care and compassion. Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue has a no-kill philosophy that allows these furkids, who have nowhere else to go, to live with dignity. Thanks to generous donors, Caroline's Kids is making a difference in the lives of cats. The kitties of Caroline's Kids send purrs of thanks.

Francis: I must admit that I never heard of Caroline's Kids Cat Rescue until I heard about the petition and how Ohio seized the healthy and happy cats from this cage-free shelter. Of course, I couldn't let this good cause and its battle go ignored. I decided to do something. First, I made a monetary donation on the gofund page. Second, I shared about this shelter on my social media. Now, I am sharing with all of you. Hopefully, you will find this cause as important to you as I found it important to me. It's important to note that most of these cats have nowhere else to go. Humane Societies routinely put down older and special needs pets. If not for Caroline's Kids, these cats would be put down, murdered. We can't let that happen to the innocent; those without a voice. Let's get the cats seized by Lake Humane Society back to where they belong so they can enjoy more loving and caring Thanksgiving dinners together. Let's put an end to dollars and cents over innocent lives. Thank you. I'm one for the animals. Always. Because if it's not me, then who. If not now, when? Are you one for the animals? Cheers! S.J Francis       *****     *****     ***** What is Caroline's Cat Rescue? My goal is to have a sanctuary where the old, the sick and the totally unwanted, will have a place to live out their lives. It's a terrible thing to die because no one wants you. Judie Brown Founder of Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue      *****     *****      About us and our free roam, no-kill, Cat Sanctuary and Cat Retirement Home Our Mission: To give cats who are adoptable an opportunity for a permanent, loving home through adoption. To provide lifelong care and love in a cageless sanctuary to old and special needs cats. To promote the precious value of each feline life regardless of age, illness or handicaps.                                                                                    *****     *****     *****          How Did Caroline's Kids get its start? I knew you'd ask because I did. In Judi's words, "My husband fell in love with Caroline when we visited and volunteered at a sanctuary out West in 1999.  We founded Caroline' s Kids in 2000 in memory of Caroline.  In Ohio at that time there were no places for older or special needs cats to live out their lives." What happened to the cats from Caroline's Kids? "Lake Humane Society raided us on November 28, 29 and December 2 , 2016 and seized a total of 156 cats.   Our attorney is working to get the cats back as part of a court hearing on April 18.   We have a video of the cats still alive that the federal judge got for us.  It is heartbreaking to see them in cages when their whole lives they were free roam.  Some look ok some are not good at all.  We are doing ok, being strong for the cats in our care and strong to fight this fight for justice not just for CK but for all the raids all over the country for so many years. To bring justice for the lives of animals killed prior and vindication for the lives of the victims raided in their own homes, in shelters, rescues and sanctuaries across this nation for way too many years." What can the Public do to help Caroline's Kids and protect other private shelter animals?  From Judie,    “If your readers would sign our petition for this to stop, there is a bill in Ohio, to take the power away from humane societies and we are working on that as well.        Lee Nesler: Return Caroline's Kids Seized Kitty Cats so they can be loved 4ever!

Box 24068                  Mayfield Hts.  Ohio 44124 From S.J. Francis: Sadly, by the time you read this blog post, some of the cats seized from Caroline’s Kids Cat Rescue may already be dead due to the stress of being seized and thrown into cages to face the unknown alone. This is the Lake Humane Society. This is animal control in many states. This is what they do. This is what they did to the innocent cats, old and special needs from Caroline’s kids Cat rescue and sanctuary. What happened at Caroline's Kids is a scary thing. To think that something like this could happen anywhere at any time to any rescue or sanctuary is horrible and disbelieving, but not surprising. Not to me. This is why Caroline's Kids has filed a Federal Lawsuit. To protect this sort of atrocity and act of animal cruelty from happening anywhere else. This is why they set up a Go Fund page to help with the lawsuit. Will you help? Anything you can give to the cause is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for your time. Animals have no voice. We must be their voice and shout at the top of our lungs for each and every one of them any and every chance we get.  PETITION UPDATE CK Defense Attorney files Motion in Court alleging fraud by LHS: Ohio Animal Owners Vindication Fund MAR 31, 2017 — IMPORTANT LEGAL UPDATE - CK Defense Attorney files Motion in Court alleging fraud by LHS on Affidavit used to obtain original Search Warrant.

With a little help from the community, Brown, who operates the sanctuary for abandoned, sick and abused cats, could receive that recognition nationally. Brown has been selected as one of 10 finalists in the Animal Planet "Cat Hero "contest. [read more...] Press and News Releases:  Cat sanctuary relies on generosity of donors [News Herald article written by Robin Palmer 4/18/16] Judie Brown isn't sure who said it, but it pretty much sums things up: "We are not in this for the money, but we need the money to be in it." Brown and her husband, Tom, created and have operated Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue for more than three decades. From its humble beginnings of fostering animals, to renting a spot in a veterinary clinic in South Euclid, to having a shelter in Newbury Township, the nonprofit group has called Concord Township home since 2007. The no-kill cat shelter at 7394 Morley Road houses more than 250 cats, many of which are older and have special needs. And, it takes a lot of money to not only feed those felines but everything else that goes with running a shelter. Judie Browns says its costs $20,000 to $25,000 a month. "We do it on a wing-and-a-pray," Judie Brown says. "The generosity of our donors is what we count on." For those who donate, here is where your money goes each month: 80 40-pound bags of litter per month, $660 Can food, $2,000 (dry food is usually provided by donors) Insurance, $364 Vet bills and supplies, $3,000 Cleaning supplies (18 rolls of paper towels a week, 250 trash bags a week, laundry detergent, dish soap, bleach), $275 Utilities, including electric, gas, Time Warner and AT&T, $822 Paid staff (3 full-time, 2 part-time workers), $8,000 Miscellaneous and offices expenses, $5,000 to $6,000. Currently, Caroline's has an outstanding bill of $21,000 at Lake Animal Hospital. "Each month there are unexpected expenses that ruin a budget," Brown says. "There is no administrative office staff and I as director am a volunteer and draw no salary." Browns says besides donors, Caroline's has been seeking corporate sponsors, but "most don't give us the time of day." "It's about the value of every life. Everyone deserves a chance at life," Browns says of her mission to care for cats. "We're all going to get to that point one day. It's about compassion. Animals are the forgotten ones." She said one thing is for sure, when you donate to Caroline's Kids, every dollar goes to cat care. "The dollars go exactly where we say they are going," she says. "Every dollar they give is going to cat care one way or the other. It's not going to a huge CEO or employee or administrative fees. It's not going for what the big organizations take money in for. "We stand for honesty and integrity. Integrity, that is a big word for us." Ways to donate to the shelter, include visiting its website at www.Carolines-kids.org. Mail-in donations can be sent to: Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue, P.O. Box 24068, Mayfield Heights, Ohio 44124. The shelter is open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Also, the shelter has a 24-hour cat cam available on its website.

I now have the name Edie and in spite of what is wrong with me, I feel like the prettiest girl. My story started a few years ago but I choose to forget as the person who was supposed to be my guardian was not. I found myself in my carrier being taken away and I was so scared of what would happen to me. Then... The person put me in my carrier in a dumpster behind a business and there I sat, scared, alone and I guess just waiting to be picked up with the trash and compacted. A kind man saw the carrier and picked it up not knowing I was inside. I have a very painful mouth virus and had lots of fleas. The kind people at CK are taking good care of me and giving me something for pain but still it is hard to eat. I got really excited to get treats on my second day here but I struggled to get teeny pieces down. I slobber a lot from the virus and pain so my coat is not lovely right now but when I get well, I will groom and wash and be all shiny again.I am the happiest kitty to be starting a new life filled with loving care.There are so many kitties here like me with special needs and I hear the people here talk about how much money it takes for our care and food and stuff. Please, would you help with a donation on PayPal or stop by the sanctuary with food, litter or items from the wish list? I know this would help so much. What would have happened to me if Caroline's Kids did not take me in?                                              This is Penny. She has leukemia. Your generous donations will certainly help her.                                                                     What an ordeal this super sweet boy endured. Cory is about 5 years old. He was rescued from a drain pipe after the horrible end of June storms. He was starved, wet, whiskers torn off on one side, and he is the most unusual color. Like two cats in one with black and white face and rest of him long haired brown. Oh, forgot to say that Cory was shot with a pellet gun and has a pellet in his chest. Yes, this boy deserves all the care and attention he is receiving at CK.       Click here http://www.carolines-kids.org/residents.htm   to meet more of the cats.

Together, you, I and other animal lovers and advocates can make a difference in an animals life. I'm one for the animals. Are you? I hope so. Cheers! S.J. Francis I hope you join me in this wonderful cause for an organization that takes in those innocent felines that other shelters would kill. Being a parent to not one but several special needs furry babies, I can attest that though a little bit more care is needed to help them function, it isn't much at all. Cats, all animals are way better at adapting to their physical and mental limitations than any human I ever met. They don't whine, groan or pity themselves. They are truly wonderful souls. They don't know that they're old, or ill, and never let it ruin their day. If only humans could be so good at that. ~S.J. Francis Want to help out shelter animals without spending a dime?
