News 3 chose to cut my statement in half on the broadcast, but completed it on their website (link below). They instead focused on camera, on my final sentence, saying we the petition supporters believe moving Shadow would have saved his life. That is a misinterpretation of my words. "Shadow most certainly would have lived long and in much better health had he been moved" at any time over the course of his seventeen year captivity. I do not have an opinion on what might have "saved his life" on February 23, because I know nothing of the circumstances of his death - and neither does the public. Even after the shelter was interviewed by a local news station about his death, the most basic questions remain unanswered. What illness did he have? What was his diagnosis? Was Shadow euthanized, or did he die from the illness? My full comment to the news station is below, as well as a link to their story. "I was deeply saddened to see the Facebook post from the Peninsula SPCA announcing Shadow's death. The information given was vague, and left me, as well as Shadow's 180,000 supporters, with questions. What "signs of illness" were present? What "serious condition" was discovered and finally, did Shadow die naturally, or was the decision made to euthanize him? We feel we deserve to know. Shadow most certainly would have lived long and in much better health - had he been moved to an appropriate sanctuary with expert care, like The Wildlife Animal Sanctuary in Colorado."
