REMEMBERING LUCY.....

No link to this email story.

Exactly three years ago, on December 20, 2007, Lucy was ripped from her home with lies and manipulation and killed by Santa Clara County in an inhumane manner. Her parents continue to fight against the system to stop breed-discrimination in Santa Clara County and San Jose. They can only hope that their efforts to fight for Lucy's rights will do something to make a difference for other pit bulls.

Pit bulls and all dogs should be given a fair chance within the legal system, and right now, there is little-to-no checks and balances to protect dogs or their owners. It is a constant struggle against breed discrimination in the legal system.

The owners continue to fight for their dog, Lucy, and for basic pet rights to life and fair treatment. They are currently in litigation against the county to prevent further breed discrimination against pit bulls, and are struggling against a mountain of biased beurocracy.

Their struggle is long and expensive, so if there is any support you feel you can give, verbally, financially, or with volunteer work for ARME; anything is welcome! Feel free to email them at [e-mail] with LUCY in the subject line.

Help us make a difference; every bit of support helps. Our pets our are babies, our "furry children", and loving creatures in our homes; we cannot afford to let them be treated as "objects" and our relationships with them reduced to property. We all need to fight for the rights and fairness that all living creatures deserve.

And this from the link:

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CALLED, EMAILED, WROTE AND FAXED ON BEHALF OF LUCY'S LIFE.

In a devastating blow to the civil rights of my clients and the sacred life of Lucy, she was killed on December 20th.

Please do not stop fighting on behalf of breed prejudice and unconstitutional standards for hearings deeming dogs vicious and ordered killed.

2. It's not the breed...

It's the owner. And obviously, her owners are people of conviction who cared deeply about Lucy, and tried like hell to save her life. If that isn't love, I don't know what is. Obviously, there was nothing vicious about this dog - the real threat is from misguided public officials who are uneducated, and don't see the forest for the trees. It's time to quit this "breed profiling," and take the time to examine case-by-case, so that more innocent creatures don't suffer the fate that Lucy did. RIP, dear girl. :(

3. labradors kill and maim more kids than pit bulls

labradors are more likely to hurt kids because the parents think that labs are a "nice" race of dog, and not violent, but they do have teeth and if they get their ears pulled by a kid can defend themselves...
