REBEL PETS THREATEN TO TAKE TO THE STREETS

If animals had a voice, they would probably take to the streets and protest how some are treated.

 

Sources report that pets throughout the country are planning to stage protests to demand the overthrow of irresponsible pet owners (hereafter “IPO”) who use them, abuse them, neglect them, and discard them.  The pets will campaign for IPO to reform their appalling behavior and become a humane people to be recognized as “guardians” rather than “owners.”  They want to be treated NOT as possessions but as members of a family with in-house privileges, regular rooming, vet checks, and a commitment to be cared for their entire lives. 

The pets, who have no choice as to where they will live or with whom, are distraught that many of their friends are killed on a daily basis in pounds where they are often dumped by IPO, and they, too, fear the same outcome.  To learn that their senior friends are dumped after being loyal and loving to IPO for many years and are then replaced with a puppy, is another grievance the pets plan to focus on.  Other grievances include IPO dumping a pet because they are ●“having a baby;” ●“moving tomorrow to a place that won’t allow pets;” ●“suddenly allergic;” and the excuses go on and on.  In addition, they would like an explanation as to why some IPO advertise that “they need to find a loving home for their wonderful pet.”  That in and of itself seems to imply that the IPO has been providing a less than desirable home.

Amid reports of IPO not sterilizing their pets and allowing them to breed, thereby creating an abundance of unwanted animals that will likely be dumped in the pound, the protestors will demand that IPO stop their careless disregard for life and recognize that they are one of the main reasons over-populated pounds are killing innocent pets.  They want IPO to know that, in most cases, they are the ones responsible for their pets’ deaths.

The pets claim the assembly will be lawful, but if their aim to convince IPO to change their mindset and become humane is contested, the pets may be compelled to continue to woof-it-up until their demands are met.  They are appealing to the younger and older humanitarians, who may witness atrocities against pets, to help enforce humane conduct.

On a final note, the sources say that, because there are animals throughout the world facing similar challenges and being forced to exist under horrendous conditions, local groups will be monitoring the state of affairs and will respond accordingly if conditions do not noticeably improve, so help them doG.

As a parent who spent over 12 hours on site volunteering at CHAMPSFEST, I must say that CHAMPSRead More Parent's assessment above of the circumstances is exactly correct.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day andRead More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. HeRead More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
