JUSTICE FOR FRECKLES! VICTIM OF ANIMAL CONTROL ABUSE! DEAD!

The Issue

Freckles suffered for 8 days in the PASCO COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL SHELTER, FLORIDA. She was denied medical care, laid in her urine, had maggots in her eye, was covered in fleas and filth -- while healthy animals are terminated. She was adopted by a concerned citizen who took her immediately to a vet after getting her water and food which she desperately consumed--the vet and new owner had her put to sleep because she was described as "too far gone." And yet? Pasco County Animal Control walked by her and let her suffer without a word. This is animal abuse, and when one animal suffers...at the hands of the state...we all suffer.

I have a passion for helping children to improve their circumstances along with helping animals - in essence? I like helping the voiceless who can't speak for themselves, and at times this gets me into a tangle or two because people do not believe you should be huggin' trees & makin' a fuss. Ok... so you say, but I see their faces and I just can't turn them down and I hope you feel the same way.
