Notice: Comins - Shot Huskies while owner was present

This Thursday and Friday, 1:30 - 5:00 p.m., both days, they are holding hearings on the defense's four motions to dismiss. The defense will be putting on several witnesses, including experts - probably from the Cattlemen's Association. Christopher Butler has also been requested to speak. These hearings will be very interesting!

As I'm sure you remember, Christoper Comins shot Hootchie & Raley in Orlando while caught playing with some farmers cows. You can read the entire story here: http://publicintellectual.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/barbarian-hillbilly-dog-shooter-christopher-comins/

I know it's asking way too much for everyone to attend both days from 1:30 -5:00; however, it is very important that we show up and rally! Holly said that at the last rally in this case, several prosecutors, concerned citizens, etc., stopped and asked about the case. They even had some folks stay and help them rally.

Holly thinks we should rally around noon on Thursday and Friday and stay as long as you can. Folks will be pouring out of the courthouse to go to lunch - great publicity. I will be contacting the news media as well.

This is at the Orange County Courthouse - Judge LeBlanc.

Notice: Horse

We were just notified of another alleged tragedy at a local horse rescue. According to our source a horse went down September 2nd (see photos). The source said the owner put the horse in a roped stall with water and a pat or two of hay and left the horse on its own. Our source says they can hear if a vehicle comes by the stall, none came during the night to check on the horse. The next morning the horse was dead.

The facts of this allegation have not yet been verified.
