Victories in Animal Welfare

Please show your support for your well-known resident bald eagles and their young offspring (our national bird) , along with other wildlife of the Big Bear area, by not setting off fireworks this year. I saw how alarmed Jackie and Shadow were by two loud daytime gunshots earlier this season, and I am very concerned about how they (and their two fledglings) might respond to sustained fireworks at night. I urge you to forego the fireworks and celebrate in other ways that do not endanger their wellbeing. Thank you!
Susan supported: No Big Bear Lake Fireworks Show for the Safety of Sister Eaglets (Gizmo and Sunny)
Fireworks aren't compatible with animals and nature. They frighten millions of animal every July. It would be heartbreaking if the eagle family or any family in the wild is forced to listen to ear shattering, stupid fireworks with no one to comfort them. Please ban them at BB Lake at least.
John supported: No Big Bear Lake Fireworks Show for the Safety of Sister Eaglets (Gizmo and Sunny)
I actually was shocked to hear that a firework show was happening in the first place in Big Bear. Between the wildlife, and fire risk, this just seems outdated. We have to begin considering nature, even if it means a little less excitement.

There are other ways to celebrate the 4th of July, and with our national bird being a Bald Eagle, we can start by protecting those that call Big Bear home.

It’s just plain animal cruelty to have him locked up in confinement for so long without even seeing his owner! And what wasted resources for boarding and for the city legal fees when he was acting out of instinct from pain. Let that sweet boy go home!!

This dog should be released to go home, he was hit by a car and was in severe pain, not aggressive! The natural reaction for a dog in pain is to bite out of fear and self defense. A shelter should know this and advocate for the animal but I suppose that's not the case in this instance. It's deeply unsettling that a shelter, an organization meant to protect animals, is pushing to euthanize a dog who isn't aggressive, and has a loving home with a dedicated owner waiting for him. Major has spent over 500 days in a shelter without his family. Think about the toll it takes on a dog to be seperated from everything he knows for that long. Their owners are their whole life, and they are only a part of ours. How could you deprive an owner of the time they have with their dog, AND to try and shorten that time when they are trying to negotiate terms to get their dog back. Even going as far to say they will muzzle him and even professional trainers are offering to help! The victim in this case has stated that they do not believe the dog should be euthanized for this incident. That alone should dismiss this entire case! What is the matter with you people, imagine not being able to see your own dog for over 500 days and being told to euthanize them. Shame on all of you.

FREE MAJOR!!!
