WHERE ARE THEY?

It’s been 2 weeks since we learned Kaneki & Pumpkin were not “saved” fr NYCACC by a Rescue Org but pulled by the ASPCA, another shelter

They still haven’t shown up on the ASPCA adoption list

So where is Kaneki? Where’s Pumpkin? Are they alive?

@aspca.org
@nycacc.bsky.social
Kaneki, a joyful dog, blind in 1 eye, may or may not be alive

All day NYC ACC has terrorized people trying to save him w/deadlines to kill him

The Shelter Animal Rescue Act (SARA) would save him. SARA says that before shelters kill a healthy dog they have to offer them to qualified rescue orgs
Here it is in B&W: Lupardo @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social and Hinchey @nysendems.bsky.social chair their houses' ag committees & decide almost all NYS animal-related bills.

They oppose SARA, to make kill "shelters" offer animals to rescues first.

Where is Kaneki? Where is Pumpkin? We were told their lives were spared from NYC Animal Cruelty Centers by the ASPCA. So many good people from NY & across the country spent time networking & pledging $ to save them. So, where are they? @aspca.org @nycacc.bsky.social Please Update
We do not know the status of Kaneki & Pumpkin. #NYCACC publicly stated #ASPCA reserved them. They have not replied. We will keep asking.

Let’s give whatever help we can to Bobby on this Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving Bobby and Andy. And thank you Andy’s mom for cooking the feast.
Thanksgiving is here and because Bobby will not be heading home to Utah, my mom is cooking and I'll be driving dinner over to him -- and two of his nurses at about 3:30 p.m. at UCLA!

I even have some decorations -- and a chocolate turkey!

Let's go from 469 donors to 500 -- $10, $27, $50 or more!

Exactly 466 donors have contributed to support Bobby Wesson's GoFundMe to help save his kidneys -- and his life at Ronald Reagan Medical Center at UCLA!

Let's get to 500 donors by the end of Thanksgiving!

Chip in $10, $18, $25, $27 (his favorite number), $500, $100 or more below:

If my pajamas made you laugh today -- and this is a reach -- but can you chip in $10 or $25 to Bobby Wesson's GoFundMe to help save his kidneys and his life -- because at this point -- all I have left to hawk is my sense of humor - and P.J.s!

Jaeger.

Motherfuckers.
Just in time to break many hearts on the eve of Thanksgiving @nycacc.bsky.social killed Jaeger this afternoon.

He was beloved. He even had someone on the West Coast who applied to adopt him, but they wouldn’t allow that. They killed a beautiful older dog for no fucking reason🤬🥵🤬

This is disgusting.

Ronald Reagan refused to acknowledge the AIDS crisis. Even refused to help his "friend from the Hollywood days" Rock Hudson.

George W. Bush waited 7 years to recognize World AIDS Day.

And now we are back to a POS GOP POTUS who will ignore it.

TSNY heard @nycacc.bsky.social @nychealthy.bsky.social @nychealthcommr.bsky.social was heart-sticking animals to death; some multiple times, some without sedation.

As a matter of course, DOH and ACC ignored TSNY's query.

It's been five weeks now.

Care to follow up?

Happy, happy day! Otis has a foster 🥰 Thank you foster!
🐶🆘THEY’RE GOING TO KILL OTIS

Otis is terrified; startled by quick movements, he drops to the floor. He’s a stray; he’s been thru something 💔

Otis needs love, time to trust, a calm environment in which to recover. It’s wrong to kill him, but the “shelter” doesn’t care 🤬

🐶🆘 DON’T KILL CHESTNUT

Like many dogs he’s ended up w/a death sentence because he’s fearful. That may be, but he seeks attention from staff he trusts & w/time has become more relaxed & wiggly

A Rescue Org wants to save him but needs a foster. See post below
