ARE YOU KIDDING ME ???
Does Anyone See ANYTHING About Abandoning or Dumping an Animal?? ANYONE???!!!

THERE IS 0, ZILCH, NADA About ABANDONING an Animal !!! ARE YOU OK WITH THIS ???!!!

( I apologize I was attempting to get the update sooner but was having technical difficulty getting the police report on the update. It is still not very good but hopefully you can blow it up. Anyone that would like a copy, let us know, and we will get you a copy.) 

The officer knew a cat was dumped and abandoned because he reported to Autumn, Aspen’s owner, the location where Dardis dumped the cat,when Autumn called the police and the officer spoke with Dardis.

Columbus and Bartholomew county residents,  that police report shows you how much our leaders VALUE or lack there of, the PROTECTION OF OUR ANIMALS!!! 
IS THAT ACCEPTABLE???!!! 

Please look back at the picture of Thor the emaciated baby. That is the value of the protection of our animals in this area. That went on for 3 years with residents reporting it. 
He was given back to the owner 2 times and would have been given back a 3rd time but Thor passed. Bless his heart! 

NOW, we have Baby Aspen out there SOMEWHERE, Lost and alone, FACING WHO KNOWS WHAT AND WE HAVE THAT NO- NOTHING POLICE REPORT!!! 
RESIDENTS HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO TOLERATE THIS???!!! 

It is illegal in Indiana to abandon or dump an animal. IC 35-46-3-7. 
But guess what ?? It takes a local leader to initiate that. 
WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS??                                     OUR ANIMALS NEED PROTECTION AND THEY NEED IT NOW!!                                                       
There are other cases as appalling as these.

How senseless is it for Columbus to have all these architectural structures and we don’t protect our animals!! 
I would have much rather have had a picture of a healthy Thor than arches on Bridges and all that. 
Folks, unfortunately Baby Aspen is still lost out there. Many, many, people have looked, passed out posters and done many things to help bring Baby Aspen home. We want to thank all of you!! We haven’t given up hope!! 
Our journey just continues and we are blessed to have you with us in it!! 

We are having a gathering or rally this Saturday 9/23 @ 2:30 at Merchant Mile in Columbus by where Aspen was dumped. 
Please support and join us if you are able!!! 

I am going to start listing our Leaders and their contacts. Please let them know how you feel. Please be polite. 
I will start listing them at the end of this. 

We are going to start hearing from Autumn, Aspen’s owner on the future updates. 
I am sure many of you are anxious to hear from her. Autumn is amazing! I don’t know how she is doing it!!  I personally would be in a fetal position by now. Let us give her all the support we can.  We will identify which one of us is the author of the update.
