This blog has become to focal point for an attack lead by No Kill Nation's leader Debi Day that people who seriously love animals must open their eyes too. Included in this organized attack are the creation of several fake twitter accounts which were used last summer to threaten, slander and defame this writer into silence by targeting the senior hounds living in my Georgia "no kill sanctuary" to force this silence.
One of those fake twitter accounts was a person who went by the name "The Idiot Whisperer".
It is my assumption based on other claims from No Kill Nation's leader that she was willing to "pay for information" on her "haters" that person is what is referred to in cyberspace as a cyber thug that carries out an attack leaving the person who organized the attack with "clean hands".
This picture was hijacked off my Facebook page. This tweet was posted in the late hours of June 13th 2013. There is nothing humorous about making jokes about dogs who have been rescued from kill shelters. Obviously this person is an idiot or he would have thought far enough ahead to be able to explain how these "corpses" he is accusing me of killing came "back alive". What does this have to do with "no kill"?
This is a second picture of alleged "corpses" caused by hoarding posted about an hour later on twitter as well. As you will see this attack crosses way over a line of common decency and boundaries that are acceptable in any advocacy movement. This is slander, this is pure hate and its pure character assassination - with everything leading to the board room of an organization known as No Kill Nation.
Some of the comments including in the "conversation" are equally disgusting. These tweets were set up with this tweet coming from Debi Day's twitter account @seeside with this tweet.
I'm not sure what No Kill Nation's leader finds disgusting in a picture that includes an eighteen year old senior Belle who was rescued eight years ago from a local kill shelter, a ten year old beagle dumped in our driveway or our American bull dog but most animal lovers would never make such comments about someone else's dogs. What is telling is the copy list @seeside used to "share" this tweet.
This is part of No Kill Nation's "team" assigned to post highly insulting and defamatory statements directed at me. How this type of organized attack fits into the "No Kill Equation" is anyone's guess.
No Kill Nation's attack team includes Marilyn Reese @plantfhreak , Teri Fulks (Dyer) @TKFulks , Camille Loge (@Clo1117 and a new addition who goes by the name of Idiot Whisperer.
So what positive information do these cyber thugs have to offer that might lead a community towards "no kill"? You be the judge.
Since he started out posting pictures of dogs he claimed were dead this was a natural follow up tweet. No Kill Nation has stepped over a line now accusing me of killing fifteen of the old hounds (many of whom were personal dogs) living in our sanctuary. The truth tells a far different story with ALL of these passing's being old age issues.
So, what expertise does the Idiot Whisperer bring to the no kill discussion that would enable him to make these less than intelligent claims? Again in his own words.
Admittedly, like No Kill Nation, this guy is clueless on rescue but he is an expert on the politics. Is he a paid cyber thug? It certainly has the appearance of being a paid contract cyber hit.
What direction will this attack take - armed only with ignorance the Idiot Whisperer starts down a path of filing false neglect and abuse allegations with any agency that would listen.
Note a new addition to the team - none other than Maria Venuto aka Lucy Van Pelt. Complaints were fled with GA Dept of Agriculture and our local shelter Gwinnett Animal Control.
No Kill Nation's leader Debi Day brought in the Idiot Whisperer for a reason - this is where her efforts to have my hounds seized and the no kill sanctuary that had saved hundreds of hounds over the last dozen years CLOSED DOWN. Problem is - I am NOT a rescue group therefore I am not required to be licensed by the Department of Agriculture.
On June 22nd 2013 No Kill Nation's leader is clearly aware and responsible for false allegations being filed with the Georgia department of Agriculture hoping to close down our senior sanctuary for hounds and send those dogs to the nearest kill shelter.
I run a privately funded sanctuary for senior hounds that are all "owned" personally. I am only required to comply with Gwinnett County animal ordinances with which I have a flawless record on care and compliance issues. If No Kill Nation's leader Debi Day had a clue what the laws were she would have realized her ignorance. The real unanswered question is WHERE in No Kill Nation's mission statement does it call for the leadership to bring in outside thugs to distort and lie about conditions in a sanctuary resulting in placing many of those dogs in grave danger.
Who does that anyway? So what were the allegations being levied by a person who admittedly knows nothing about rescue? It should disgust you to know.
It is disgusting to think that No Kill Nation would even stoop so low to enter into such an ignorant discussion about senior dogs who have closed out there lives at our sanctuary, especially in lieu of all the seniors that No Kill Nation allows to die in south Florida shelters all the time.
No Kill Nation admittedly DOESN'T do rescue - I do. Even more insulting is the fact that several of those fifteen dogs misrepresented by this tweet were personal dogs who had died of OLD AGE issues.
For an advocacy group to make such ignorant comments with participation and direction coming from its totally clueless President speaks VOLUMES as to why Debi Day is not qualified to lead an A.A. meeting let alone a fraudulent advocacy group with a mission statement beholden to irresponsible breeders.
Yet, the comments get worse - this gets personal and it gets disgusting.
As of last June while No Kill Nation could not clearly show any programs that might save lives or help communities reform their shelters what they did have in place was a number of Debi Day's followers who were part of a team assigned to stalk every word I posted on Facebook.
In this mischaracterization a foster beagle named Juju developed a prolapsed rectum which required surgery to repair. I leave the rest to your imagination. Ask yourself where THOSE comments fit into any discussion on "no kill"? You will also see how ALL of these comments were directed towards my twitter account.
Yet, when I answered some of these nonsensical tweets with return responses Debi Day's attorney filed a motion claiming I was in violation of a "no contact" order the court granted without allowing me to participate in that hearing. That is NOT due process - its a kangaroo court.
I won't even respond to this ignorance. Hundreds of beagles and bassets who have used our sanctuary as a safe haven would think differently. Obviously No Kill Nation and the "no kill" movement it claims to represent places very little value in rescuing seniors in even participating in this type of ignorant and ill informed discussion.
Death camps are "sanctuaries like Spindletop Refuge or Caboodle Ranch - where dogs and cats clearly died from abusive conditions. Strange that No Kill Nation's leader Debi Day would defend both of those sanctuaries while trying to close down a sanctuary with a flawless history of providing much needed services for special needs senior hounds.
Not satisfied with an ignorant attack directed at our hounds the discussion gets way too personal.
Expecting a sixty year old man suffering from severe crohn's disease that has left him walking with crutches at the time to replace an old carpet shows a lack of understanding and compassion for the disabled. We'll ignore the fact that Debi Day has NEVER complained about the fact that many of the Spindletop Refuge pit bulls she defends lived in small cages for months eating and sleeping in their own waste and drinking their own urine to survive. Many didn't survive.
Where is the outrage over THOSE conditions? In future blogs we will discuss No Kill nation's investment in a boarding kennel called the Dog House in Pompano with a history of squalor like conditions where Debi can dump dogs "saved" from local kill shelters.
Now that's mature.
Making jokes about a person's health issues is extremely classless and in pour taste. Wishing someone to die is beyond classless. As you will see Debi Day "retweeted" that info therefore taking ownership as well.
A conversation with an eight year old - how classic.
No Kill Nation's leader Debi Day didn't simply use one cyber thug to harass, slander and attack both me personally and the no kill sanctuary that I manage but as evidence will show used several "team players" to commit these egregious acts. All of the players in this facade worked from the same play book - repeating the same lies and dishonest dialect as part of a larger scheme committing "character assassination".
Those who participated in this attack which started as far back as the fall of 2012 include the infamous Maria Venuto (who masquerades as the comic book creature "Lucy Van Pelt"), Camille Loge (who runs a Facebook rescue page called Camille's Rescue), Marilyn Reese (a Winograd groupie who lives in California), Teri Dyer (founder of a Facebook group called No Kill Brevard and No Kill Nation's board member Kathy Santomero.
Also involved in an ongoing attack are several members of an ANONYMOUS hacker group which NKN's President routinely incited using false allegations as well. All of this can be proven, has been shared with the U.S. Attorney's office in Atlanta and now will be shared on this blog.
Is this what the No Kill MOVEMENT has morphed into? It should be absolutely disgusting to ANY dog lover that a group whose mission statement is to save lives instead focuses its assets gained through YOUR donations and its efforts attacking anyone who dares question or oppose that vision.
Is THIS really the intelligent conversation needed to reform our nation's sheltering system or would you call this type of behavior "childish behavior unbecoming of anyone claiming a leadership role in a movement that she is clearly not qualified to handle and in fact has no prior experience on her resume to suggest any previous success in those advocacy efforts.
No Kill Nation's Debi Day is a bored socialite with enough money that she THINKS she can BUY this fame, power and glory - it simply does NOT work that way in real life.
How does Debi Day's involvement work towards her goal of destroying my reputation and legacy in the rescue community? What Debi does is employ cyber thugs to post false information which she simply "re tweets" to her 1,000 or so followers on twitter as if this information SHE PLANTS is indeed fact. Amongst the slanderous rumors she has participated in spreading are that I am a hoarder, convicted felon, drug dealer, violent towards woman, kill my dogs through neglect and that "I" am the mentally insane stalker in this case.
The fact is my involvement in this case has ALWAYS been limited to seeking the TRUTH on what No Kill Nation and Debi Day did with the over $100,000 they collected in the fall of 2011 for No Kill Nation's Everglades Project - nothing more - nothing less.
Despite claims to the contrary the court case itself NEVER heard any witnesses, never held any hearings were evidence of slander was introduced nor were there any rulings on facts related to the alleged defamatory issues. I simply defaulted on a court case rather than spend thousands of dollars in legal fees that would be better spent maintaining our sanctuary.
In other words, I chose to spend my resources and time SAVING senior hounds while No Kill Nation obviously invests most of its efforts and money on lawsuits trying to close down rescues like mine and send the dogs BACK to local kill shelters. How is that part of any NO KILL EQUATION?
I started this blog with three pictures that were hijacked off my Facebook page to create a drama situation that did not exist. Here is THAT picture again. Where does this type of infantile behavior fit into a no kill movement that has failed miserably? This is totally OVER the line of common decency and honest behavior we expect from those claiming a leadership role in any advocacy effort. You don't see animal protection groups like HSUS, the ASPCA, Best Friends or PeTa employ these dishonest tactics so how is "no kill" any better?
The senior hounds in this picture ALL survived a stay at a kill shelter. Debi Day was NOT there to rescue them when they faced death then and her behavior now that threatens their safety is repulsive. All of these dogs are innocent creatures who have names, are happy on their new home and in fact love me as their caretaker. It should disgust ANY animal lover to see them involved in No Kill Nation's little scheme.
This comment is nothing more than a threat that Debi shares with complete strangers in the hopes someone will act on it. It's offensive - its criminal this type of behavior has NO PLACE in any social movement PERIOD. Targeting a senior citizen with a disability with false attacks like this is the real act of cowardice - Debi should be ashamed - SHE IS the freak show.
Haven't WE had enough of a movement so childish that the only real suffering from this type of behavior is ultimately the shelter dogs and cats who continue to die because "No Kill" message is so far off track. No Kill isn't about saving lives - its about greed, power and people more concerned about their own misplaced egos - the animals are irrelevant. That is sad.
"Good night my friend?" I rest my case. Debi can stand by her beliefs that honesty is NOT important nor are the lives of dogs she is willing to kill by sending them back to a shelter.
In the coming weeks I will share the rest of the story which sadly doesn't get any better. Last Monday No Kill nation's leader organized another attack on our sanctuary which included having four people call in false reports of abuse and neglect to the Gwinnett Animal Control in the hopes that all twenty nine of the dogs who reside here would be impounded. That story will disgust you even more.
