STOP ANIMAL ABUSE AT WOLCOTT FARMSCONTACT GEORGE PHIFER THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY DIRECTOR AT: 1 (800) 477-2757 TELL HIM WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS OUTRAGE! Hello, I am reporting animal abuse at one of our Metro Parks. It has come to my attention that Wolcott Farms in Ray, MI is mistreating their animals. For starters, they just recently sent 5 cows, that they KNEW were pregnant, to auction for the slaughter house. I'm not sure if you know much about sheep, but you are not supposed to breed sheep until they are at least 2 years of age. Wolcott farm took it upon themselves to breed 1 year olds anyways. They also decided to stop feeding them grain over the winter, and as a result of it, most of the sheep had miscarriages or gave birth to stillborn. The sheep that did make it to full term and gave birth, refuse to take care of their offspring because of how malnourished they are. Every sheep in that barn has lice, and are not being treated for it. Mind you, this is a public barn where children and adults are allowed to walk inside of these barns to see, and touch these animals. This not only is a case of animal cruelty, but it is effecting the general public as well. Their chickens have mites, their rabbits are dying because they do not have signs posted to NOT feed the animals grass because they have it fertilized. Not only is that dangerous to the animals, but to the children as well. They're touching fertilized grass without even knowing it, and then their parents are handing them snacks, or even just being a normal kid and putting their hands in their mouth. No one will listen to me! I have called EVERYWHERE. I have contacted the police, local humane societies, PETA, and even local news stations. NO ONE wants to listen to me! PLEASE, if you can help in any way, please please do! I have exhausted all of my options! HELP US BY SIGNING THIS PETITION!326 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Kelsey Kandt

ZYNGA: It's time to remove the announcementThe announcement page when logging into YoVille prevents players from being able to collect game prizes. It would take very little effort for Zynga to remove it, and would keep the loyal fan base from leaving out of frustration. Until the future of YoVille is settled, we would like to continue to play as normally as possible.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by BecKestrela

Support Affordable HousingDo you want to end homelessness? Do you have family or friends struggling to pay rent? Do you want the State to work towards a Hawaii where all can be safely and securely housed? Hawaii needs more affordable housing and NOW is the time to take action. Recently, the National Low Income Housing Coalition released a report finding that while Hawaii has the highest rents in the nation, the median hourly wage of a Hawaii renter is only $13.86 – less than half of what is needed to afford a 2-bedroom unit at Fair Market Rent. Housing is simply not affordable in Hawaii and more needs to be done.362 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Partners in Care, Bridging the Gap, & PHOCUSED

Shut Down Carousel Pony Ride and Zoo in Santa MonicaCourt of Appeal Rules in Favor of Pony Ride Protester In a May 9, 2016, victory for legislative advocates, Division 5 of the California Court of Appeal – a panel of three conservative-leaning Justices – unanimously reversed Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole’s decision that petitioner and protester Marcy Winograd (that's me) should stand trial for accusing the pony ride and petting zoo operators of animal abuse. The Court, in an opinion written by Justice Sanjay T. Kumar, said such accusations were protected by California’s legislative privilege because the accusations were made while petitioning the City Council to close the pony ride and petting zoos. The appellate court ruled that the statements in my articles and television interview “relate to the supposed poor treatment the pony ride and petting zoo animals received, and either directly or inferentially solicited public support for (my) petition to cause the City of Santa Monica to take action to end the pony ride and petting zoo.” The ruling stated: “Civil Code section 47 provides in part, “A privileged publication or broadcast is one made: [¶] . . . [¶] (b) In any (1) legislative proceeding, (2) judicial proceeding, [or] (3) in any other official proceeding authorized by law . . . .” “The privilege set forth in section 47(b) applies to ‘any’ legislative proceeding. The use of the term ‘any’ necessarily requires that its application be construed broadly” (Spitler v. Children’s Institute International (1992) 11 Cal.App.4th 432, 440 (Spitler)), and it applies “when it is shown that the statement … bears some connection to the work of the legislative body …” The pony ride operators petitioned the California State Supreme Court to review the appellate court ruling, but on July 20, 2016, the Supreme Court rejected their petition for review. Under California's anti-SLAPP law, plaintiffs are required to pay attorneys' fees. ------------------------------------------------- Sunday, May 17th, the City of Santa Monica ended twelve years of tethering ponies to a metal bar or "hot walker" to push them round and round a tiny circumference, always in one direction, shoeless on hard ground. Likewise, the petting zoo where an alpaca and zebu were tightly penned was closed. The City of Santa Monica is seeking new activity vendors -- those offering cooking demos, arts and crafts, painting and more. Please share this link with vendors who might be interested. http://www.smgov.net/portals/farmersmarket/ Potential applicants should copy [email protected] and [email protected] when submitting an application. On Sept. 9, 2014, following almost two hours of robust public debate (link below) the Santa Monica City Council voted to give preference to non-animal vendors while asking City staff to explore alternative venues for the pony operators. If you want to watch the debate, click below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKUxy-pvLlI Pony operators Tawni Angel and Jason Nester sued me, Santa Monica resident Danielle Charney, and 20 unnamed defendants (DOES) following the City Council's September 9, 2014, vote. A lower court judge dismissed part of the suit against me, and the entire lawsuit against Charney, calling it a SLAPP or Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation intended to chill public debate. Following the ruling, Angel and Nester reimbursed Charney's lawyer for $20,000 in legal fees. Meanwhile, I am taking my case to the California Court of Appeal, arguing protesters have a First Amendment right to picket a carousel pony ride and petting zoo at a city-sponsored market and to petition their government for a redress of grievances. Many thanks to the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press for filing amicus "friend of the court" briefs to support my case. You can read the briefs at LA Progressive: https://www.laprogressive.com/pony-ride-activist/ Thank you for your support! Below are past posts about this petition. I live a few blocks from the thriving Santa Monica farmers market on Main Street, where market goers must pass the pony rides and petting zoo in order to purchase fruits and vegetables. Each time I go, I feel sad and ashamed that a progressive and visionary city like Santa Monica allows such animal exploitation. During the last year, out-of-town guests visiting the market have turned to me and said, "How can Santa Monica tolerate this kind of abuse?" I didn't have an answer until now -- We can't tolerate it any longer. Shut down the pony ride and petting zoo. To see photos of the animal exhibits, visit www.freethepony.org UPDATE: On Sept. 9, 2014, the Santa Monica City Council voted to give preference to non-animal vendors when the animal operators' contract expires in May 2015. City Staff is looking at implementing a pilot program that would involve a variety of alternative children's activities, such as arts and crafts and storytelling. Meanwhile, the pony ride and zoo operators have launched a counter-petition to reverse the Council's decision. Please show your support for freeing the ponies from the metal turnstile and ending the penning of zoo animals in a small enclosure. Update: (3/26/15) An October USDA inspection of the pony vendors' operation notes an abundance of fecal material and flies in the corral and barn in Fillmore, and in the transport trailer that pulls up to Main Street. The report (link below) notes "risks of disease hazards" and "no areas in the enclosure (barn, corral) free of excreta" and "The animal transport trailer has not been cleaned since the facility's last trip. Bedding and fecal material were observed in the trailer." It's not clear if these problems, noted by the USDA in 2014, have been fixed.

Reform of Marijuana Law in West VirginiaPeople all around America are using marijuana, both legally and illegally, as an alternative medicine to provide them with relief from their medical conditions. This petition was drafted with those people in mind, as well as the people who've been wrongfully punished and jailed for using marijuana in the past. As the creator of this petition, I've done my research and studied many cases of people who have Epilepsy and use medical marijuana potent in CBD (Cannabidiol) to provide them relief from their seizures; some of these people are actually CHILDREN whose parents say that traditional medications have failed them. The medicine stopped them from having 4-5 seizures a day and cut them down to 1-2 a MONTH. With your help, we can bring forth a natural and SAFE alternative to prescription medication, as well as generate revenue for our great state of West Virginia.145 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Austin Campbell
