Mans Best Friend Update
Yesterday afternoon after posting my blog I updated my facebook status with a link to our blog. This attracted quite of a bit of attention and I appreciate all of the comments and messages I received. It really made me feel good to know that people do care and are willing to help. I'm happy to report our neighbour in Halfmoon Bay Nikee, and her three daughters Sage Hanna and Tyra want to welcome our starved furry friend into their home and hearts. As soon as our furry friend is healthy enough to fly we will fly him down to Vancouver, where a few of our friends have offered to help transport him to the Sunshine Coast. I will be contacting the airlines in Nunavut and BC on monday to see if they are willing to offer some free travel. I have to thank Sechelt Animal Hospital in Sechelt BC as they are offering some free services to make sure our furry friend is in good health. Also I will be speaking to a friend of mine Jenn Jones who owns a Vancouver based dog services company and she is the best dog trainer I know, she is as close as it comes to Cesar Millan, when she walks in the room the dogs listen and obey. I'm sure she will provide me with advice and tips for domesticating our furry friend. This doesn't stop here, I plan on spending more time aiding in the rescue and I will not tolerate and I will not not turn my head to the cruelty of animals in Nunavut or anywhere. Cheers all hope ya'all have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy. I've already spoken to a lawyer and Bylaw and the dog was not licensed, and in his state of health he would've been destroyed that day if I had handed him over to bylaw. I also have a home down south and I hope I break peoples toes up here let alone step on em:)

ReplyDeleteWe told the owner where his dog was and where he can pick him up. We also are very happy to return the dog when the owner is available to pick him up. If there was anything more we can do to return the dog, we are willing to listen to suggestions.
ReplyDeleteHey hun...if you need any help with picking up and geting him to HMB then let me know...you know Im always willing to help. And I have the van! We know it fits a gigantic crate! lol
ReplyDeletei'm with tammy on this one...
ReplyDeleteTara, it's neat that you side with someone who is okay with the abuse of an animal. That must be something you are really proud of being you posted it online for everyone to see.
ReplyDeleteI get it's a small town, those huskies are work dogs, etc. But I think that the laws of Nunavut don't differ than the laws of Canada? Or did I miss that somewhere in the mix?
The starving and beating of a dog is no less important than a person. Sorry to let you know that, but people get charged for this crime.
It's unfortunate that there always has to be someone out there that has to wreck things for the rest of us. I guess I just had higher hopes that in Nunavut with all the "visitors" that a more diverse set of "laws" would come into play.
I thought that the point of grouping together different cultures was to work on and improve what makes life worth living, not just be complacent with how things are.
I notice there are churches in Nunavut, so obviously someone was worried about the immortal souls of the people of Nunavut. So why is expressing that it's no longer acceptable to abuse be any different?
Or is that a little too far fetched for your closed mind? Maybe if you sit down with your husband later he can tell you if you should be more worried about that or what's for dinner.
I also really like how Tammy, with her apparent strong opinion has removed all her postings?
ReplyDeleteOh Kim...between you and I, Christina is going to get lots of flack! lol I agree with everything you said!
