Volusia County needs our support
By now just about everyone has heard about the most horrible fate of a puppy adopted via craigslist. The news report is at:
http://www.news-journalonline.com/NewsJournalOnline/News/Local/newEAST01102009.htm
The below is a request for support sent out from Sophie's Circle in Volusia County:
Please call the State's Attorney's Office, 386 239-7710 ext. 4793, ask for Chris Kelly. The case number is 091000287. Voice your [thanks that he is prosecuting this case and your] concern that this is the second animal that has been taken from this man and his bail was set at only $1000. If we all voice our concerns, they have to listen. We have to be the voice for this puppy and any other animals this man could get in the future.
The puppy is now at Tomoka Pines undergoing surgery for a broken rear leg which she sustained during this attack.
We want to add that when you make the call please present yourself as a rational person who has concerns for the safety of animals and people. It does no good for the cause to be seen as an another "animal crazy" issue.
If you call and get any feedback, let us know. Thanks.

Notice: Jordan case tomorrow October 13.
Go to the Albert Jordan link on the right column for details on this case.
Docket sounding on Tuesday. The last person who went before a judge for animal abuse in Brevard walked (Shamika Thomas). Let's hope the same doesn't happen in the Albert Jordan case.
By the way, two of the pups that were confiscated in this case are now up for adoption at the county shelter in Melbourne.
Updates on the case will be posted here.

Notice: Comins Hearings Nov 4 and Nov 5
Dear Voicesforella members:
I want to let you know that the hearings on the motions to dismiss all charges against Christopher Comins is NOT over. There have been a total of three hearings so far (4 hours each) and they are having two more hearings - November 4th and 5th. The hearings begin at 1:30 p.m. at the Orange County Courthouse. We will rally at 12:30 in front of the courthouse, Courtroom 7D, Judge LeBlanc.
I am letting you know way in advance that Hoochie, Raley, and Chris Butler really need your help. This is just a tragic case. Mr. Comins has lots of money and it appears lots of connections (in high places). One of our voicesforella members, who lives in Orlando, has been attending the hearings. Reports are there are many police officers attending the hearings in support of Mr. Comins. It's been said the mayor of Orlando, Mr. Crotty, has been supporting Mr. Comins, too. Mr. Comins has hired very expensive experts and lawyers to help his cause.
Some terrific flyers that you can print and hand out in your community or workplace have been made by a member. You can find them on our website on the left-side column. Please try and recruit as many folks as you can to come with you.
We will be carpooling for the next hearing from Brevard. Please contact me to make arrangements.
If you would like to read more about this case, go to the following link: http://cominsvvanvoorhis.wordpress.com/. By the way, Mr. Voorhis has been sued by Mr. Comins over this article.
Thanks,

Notice: Rally in Orlando
Orange County Courthouse
Tuesday, Oct 6, 12:30pm
Peaceful Rally, then Court at 1:30pm
On Tuesday, Christopher Comins goes back to court for felony animal cruelty charges after he shot 2 dogs, Hoochie and Raley, multiple times in the back, neck, and eye. The case is in the pre-trial stages. The defense wants the case dismissed, and has presented expert witnesses. The shooter has political connections.
The People of Florida fought really, really hard last year to get this case filed with the police and then prosecuted. It never would have happened if we hadn't worked so hard to make it happen. We cannot give up now. We are in absolutely crucial stages of the case right now. On Tuesday, Chris Butler (the dog owner) and another witness are scheduled to give testimony.
Rally at 12:30. Court begins at 1:30pm. You do not have to stay for the whole thing. Even 1 hour will help tremendously.They are keeping the rallies peaceful. They have to, in order to not help facilitate any problems with all the people in attendance who are there to support the dog shooter.
Take a stand against animal cruelty. If you do not, who will? Be a united voice against violence and cruelty!!
