When something shames us, we, and the media prefer to ignore it, but difficult problems need constant attention or they get lost. When there is one tragic death causing protests, we see it in the news everyday for weeks, yet we forget that 22 American veterans are dying a tragic death EVERYDAY and it has been going on for YEARS! Are thousands of veterans worth the same attention as one or a few tragic urban killings? This is a national crisis deserving constant national attention. Our veterans in despair need the help that could come if we would prevent their plight from getting lost among all the other much smaller tragedies.

This petition is to change the ordinance title 8 "animals". before is becomes official. This ordinance, as is, will provide for the unnecessary and wanton destruction of dogs and other animals in the Town of Whitehall without due process and without any valid attempt to find the owner or someone to care for the animal until the owner can be found.

I have had Autism since I was 1 years old, and I also have food allergies to dairy, nuts and peanuts. I love American Girl and all, but it's tough controlling yourself when your autistic. I want a doll that I can relate to. I love reading about how it feels like to disappoint your cousin (Kanani), how it feels to have stage fright (Saige) and how it feels to have a popular sister and you always mess up (Isabelle). Now, it's time I have a turn sharing what it feels like having Autism.

We ETS2 gamers love this game and should be able to play with our friends online by renting a legitimate rented server with ETS2 as a game option along with adding mods like any other online game and with the support of the developer. The way it should be.

The "Schools on the Hill" are historic landmarks situated on the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. They were built starting in 1930s and until 1951. They were the last schools built specifically for African Americans prior to integration. They are a beautiful example of the progress that was made during the early years of the twentieth century. The historic architectural environment should be preserved for all to appreciate.

Heart Stick is a cruel Method of euthanasia that is the trend in shelters today. The animal is jabbed with a needle directly through its chest wall through deep players of muscle directly into the Beating heart. Often the needle misses & animal has to be re stuck hitting nerves & bones, Or in other cases the needle delivers the medication & then tossed on the floor to die a slow painful death. There are documented inside shelter reports from volunteers that state they are haunted by the blood curdling cries they hear from the kill room or from within the animals kennel( where other animals hear the distress)reports of animals being thrown in a freezer of in a landfill while they are still moving & alive, This method was created by John Mac Neil & to be used only under certain circumstances: not on healthy animals that are wide awake or under a light sedation or paralytic drug which rendered them useless but wide awake feeling every bit of the procedure. Often this method is taught to non medical shelter staff/inmates/law enforcers/sheriffs and animal control city working employees. They are not only unskilled in this method but often not animal caring animal workers but city employees ,overworked & underpaid taking their stress out on unfortuneate helpless animals. John Mac Neil admittedly said to me personally he does not agree with this method in shelters yet he is still allowing it to be sold to whoever has a DEA liscence. to buy drugs Again he himself does not recommend the use of this drug & its method in a shelter setting due to the lack of medical knowledge of the unskilled staff using it causing great pain,distress & an extremely horrific and painful death for countless animals daily in shelters all over the country. Most of these shelters using heart stick are using it on wide awake animals often missing the heart & repeating stabbing into the chest wall several times due to a lack of training in anatomy. The creator John Mac Neil supports humane euthanasia yet does not even offer his own training course for this method he created. Please ask John Mac Neil to prohibit the purchase of fatal plus & the use of this method to shelters & to reserve it only for use on deeply comotose and ill animals that have circulatory problems which it was made for ,not to be used on healthy wide awake animals that experience a barbaric death, the 3 major issues are 1. its meant to be used on wide awake animals! because sedation slows down the process of it taking effect( so John Mac Neil admits it is quick when done correctly but admits its a painful gutteral death none the less.. 2. Using sedation does NOT help the process , It is an illusion ,sedation only renders the animal helpless but does not provide pain relief,sedation is being used more for the purpose of making it easier for the person euthanizing to handle the animal. 3. many shelters are using a coctail of drugs and when administered improperly one drug that is a paralytic takes over first locking up every muscle making the animal unable to move yet it is wide awake & feels fear anxiety Pain but can not react,I would comparre this to vivisection. , this method is often used in the prison systems for live executions to make it appear as if the prisoner is experiencing a painless peaceful death,this is far from the truth. Due to the misuse of heart stick & its trend to be used in rural low budget shelters due to low cost , it should be prohibited in this setting all together. there has been enough undercover investigations & documented violations to seriously consider making this method outlawed. John Mac Neil considers himself an advocate for humane animal death. In fact he was par of a huge movement called dignity in death that outlawed the use of gas chambers in california,Iowa & other states,Lets ask John to not contradict his passion to advocate for humane death of animals while he is profiting off this barbaric method, Please view video (under discretion very graphic) to help you understand the need for this to be Banned in shelters Now! http://www.examiner.com/article/heart-stick-euthanasia-specialist-arrested-kentucky
