Dyrenes Ven Hanne Hansen TAKE ACTION - PROTEST AGAINST KOREA SLAUGHTER AND EAT DOGS - SIGN PETITION
Koreas shame! Stop dog eating now! Sign petition - We must help the poor dogs in Korea not to be tortured and eaten. Pleas sign petition and send it widely around to your friends
The Korean government has not yet baned the slaughter and consumpti...on of companion animals. The Korean government is much responsible for continuing cruelty to and abuse of Korean animals. As long as the consumption of dogs and cats continues, so does cruelty to animals. Therefore the government must establish the law that prohibits the slaughter and consumption of dogs and cats for meat. You can help! - let us continue to pressurize the Korean government to make a law that prohibits the consumption of dogs and cats, please sign the petition: Animal abuse in Korea and forward. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/18/animal-abuse-in-korea

www.thepetitionsite.com
Hell on earth for dogs in Korea - please do what you can for the dogs, sign the petition.  (1001 signatures on petition)

Unfortunately animal cruelty laws are generally vague. Upon looking up these laws for Louisiana, it seems to be the same there...

It's not only disgusting that he's done this - making more money off of Tony being in a damned concrete cell, at his stinky truckstop - it's wrong that The Independent Weekly posted it - giving him FREE Advertising! Shameful.

Real strange how the t-shirts that make these tight butt conservatives cringe are selling like hotcakes! Michael has had to order his third case. I guess Louisianians don't like outside agitators from Florida trying to steal their neighbor's tiger, harrass the tiger or call them "in bred". I guess Tony does not have as many enemies who would put hm alone with strangers in a strange place with no family as yall would think.

Michael is a sweet, gentle Christian man who has a gospel record album, is a soloist at his church and is a conscientious businessman who employs quite a few people who would have trouble paying their bills in this recession without their jobs.

So if you tell them to shop elsewhere, you are taking food out of the mouths of the children of Grosse Tete. Think about that! Yall are working to starve children. Louisiana is not generous with the unemployment or welfare money. ... See More

Michael is not a redneck. He is college educated. He is not violent. He is just tired of the screwballs who need to do something about Alligator Bayou being drained and the gators being made homeless and the fish killed instead of trying to take something that does not belong to them.

God loves Michael. God does not like ugly. He does not like his sons and daughters picked on. Yall are poor stewards of God's creation. Tony is fine in his home. The picture in the upper lefthand corner shows a relaxed cat, content, not agitated. All cats sleep a lot. I have two smaller ones who are lying on my bed in just that position. Leave Michael alone. He would not ever allow anyone to be cruel to Tony.

The article is called Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech. Only conservatives and communists would deny the Constitution to people who disagree with them. If I can't speak, your right to speak is also in danger.

Save Tony the Tiger from Michael Sandlin New petition as promised---this one on change.org instead of care2. you do not need to be a member of change.org to sign it. please spread around: let's exceed the last petition even to send conoco a solid message!

www.change.org
The Tiger Truck Stop, becoming increasingly notorious for its treatment of past tigers and the one remaining there now, gets its fuel from Conoco. With the record of animal cruelty and corruption of this truck stop, Conoco's name and reputation is being tarnished by its affiliation with this place. ...

Just a quick note while we await the new petition (we verify things before posting them, unlike some people). In the past I tried posting notes and links on a trucker's forum, which the administrator did not care for much...

Yeah take your business elsewhere! Starve the families and children of Grosse Tete. You don't care about them. They have already been born and pro-lifers only care about families and children when they are not costing them any money Tearing apart Michael's family is more important than that their parents have jobs! That's what conservatives do... See More. Only their way is right.

Go Truckers. Buy an extra sandwich in honor of Tony and Michael. Combat these un-American tiger persecutors. Get a t-shirt for your kids!

Oh well, I half expect to be banned. Yall are just like the other conservatives. Only your view may be heard.

Check for skeletons first. Tony is in the only home he knows where he is an only child. His home is in Grosse Tete. He does not need the services of an orphanage.

appreciate the offer, but dont want to start asking for money. if anyone can afford to print it out and mail it to the governor or whoever, i can email it to them.
i have however considered starting a legal fund though to hire a lawyer for tony. he needs one. any ideas welcome on how to set that up etc. would have to be 3rd party -ish, so no one can say we are making money and so on.

Instead, why don't you set up a fund to build Tony a bigger home in Grosse Tete so he can stay with the family who loves him. If you cared about him you would not be trying to take him away from his home.
