What a sick creep.

Click on the link for the Sacramento Bee for a more thorough story (be aware more thorough means more information on the specific abuse).

I am so glad the jerk got 10 years! If I can get the judge's contact information I am going to write him to thank him!

http://www.newser.com/story/136162/s...-10-years.html

(Newser) – A wheelchair-bound California parolee has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting an eight-month-old Chihuahua. He must also register as a sex offender in what could be the first such requirement in an animal abuse case. Robert Edward De Shields was renting space in a Sacramento house when the homeowners returned to find him with their Chihuahua, Shadow, "in pain and shock," reports the Los Angeles Times. A veterinarian examined the Chihuahua, and discovered the dog had suffered severe damage to its internal organs.

Shadow survived following surgery, according to the Sacramento Bee. The dog is currently being cared for in a foster home. "Shadow is a victim in every sense of the word," the new owner told the judge. The dog is extraordinarily fearful of men, "like many victims of sexual assault," she said, and may never fully recover from its physical wounds.

Just read this today and wanted to share...

It was on Fox news earlier (01/16/12) that 70 dogs have died as a result of eating chicken jerky treats made from chicken that has come from China. "Kingdom Pets" brand from Costco is one of them. Also certain "Blue Buffalo" brand pet foods have a recall for the same thing.

Please re-post and make sure all your doggie friends are aware of this.

My ex found this story today and donated to the shelter taking care of this pit bull used as a "baiter" dog, as my Cordelia was. The picture is graphic, and the story is very disturbing. But if you can spare some money for Ava, you'd be doing something special for a little girl who's been to hell and back -

So, yesterday I stepped on my ferret. He was hiding under a blanket... And wham. I heard a cracking sound and freaked out. I lifted up the blanket and saw his legs and tail but he wasn't moving. I ran into my backyard terrified and freaked out and called P. She told me to go inside and check under the blanket and bring him to the vet. I was SO traumatized, but I walked into my room expecting the worse.. And he was walking around my room, fine. I picked him up, held him, cried and felt every inch of his body. I KNOW I heard a crack... But he is fine. He was playing with his toys, eating and drinking. This morning, I checked him again and felt his body. Totally normal. So weird!!!!!!!! I am so glad he is ok, I really thought I killed him. One of the most awful moment of my life. I am keeping my floors CLEAR from now on.... Little buggar!!!

Greyson · 01-21-2012, 12:52 PM

I am just becoming more aware of the other little creatures like ferrets, rats, mice, gerbels because now I am the co-parent of two rats. When I am at home and the ratties are having their play time outside of their cage, I am usually looking at the floor before I take a step. I was fortunate, the rat was okay after I stepped on her tail.

Glad to hear both you and your ferret are okay.

Deb ,

I so agree with you and I am not sorry . In the state of GA they busted so many people thanks to a tip line and a new law . I posted somewhere that people that moved next door to me have a pit bull in the cage and on chain in cage . Poor dog he/she was so vicious when I stepped outside of my house, hence I felt so sorry for him/her . It was obvious that these people trained him/her to be vicious for they benefit .
It's so common here in the south to dog fighting . Michael Vicks had house in my subdivision , what else is there to say .

My friend brother of so many years , was second behind M Vick and I had no clue since he had many acres in Charleston , SC and in his house you wouldn't know . He finally got busted and was in a prison for six years . what is six years for torturing animals ? equals not a thing . Originally he was sentenced to 40 yrs which to me was right , but since they have a lot of money and governor of SC made sure he was out .
It's sickening what money can do and this guy it's back to normal life driving Corvette and living high since he must stash money somewhere . I cut ties with a whole family , because it's sickening to me . You can look at up on Internet his name it's David Tant since this it's true story .

I myself can't stand mean and greedy people using animals to acquire wealth . I want to give to people in need when I can . Don't be sorry , it's right thing to do .

Just jumping in here, I have 3 amazing fur babies, all cats, two females, and a male. Nyx, Hemera, and Tigger. Tigger is the baby of Nyx and Hemera because Nyx was supposed to be a female originally, but instead knocked up Hemera right before he was neutered. In the house though, we also have a boa which belongs to my girl, hes 5 feet long and his name is Kitten.

We are looking to add a pit to the mix, but due to my male cat being an extreme alpha male and very territorial when it comes to animals larger than him (around dogs his size, he has no issues, its dogs bigger than him he will attack), we have to get a female, and it has to be a puppy as young as possible in order to hopefully get him to adapt to it as it grows.

Do not allow Wydell Dixon to own/operate an animal rescue again and revoke her permits.

Greetings,

I just signed the following petition addressed to: City of Texas City

----------------
Do not allow Wydell Dixon to own/operate an animal rescue again and revoke her permits.

Having run this rescue for 12 years, Dixon had the knowledge that it was impossible for one employee to care for 200 cats on a daily basis. It takes a dedicated team to run the daily operations of a rescue. Furthermore, it takes the support of the community to donate, volunteer, & adopt. Dixon did not have enough support from the community before this tragedy and will now have even less, which is key in being successful.

She has demonstrated to our community that she can not properly, safely, & successfully run an animal rescue. There is no excuse for this senseless tragedy that could have been prevented. These cats were in the care of Dixon and ultimately her responsibility. Not only should her permits be revoked, she should also be charged with animal cruelty.

I am asking that you do not allow Wydell Dixon to own/operate an animal rescue again and to revoke her permits.
----------------

Sincerely,

[Your name]

Why This Is Important

*UPDATE* As of 1/18/2012 Wydell Dixon and her employee have been charged with animal cruelty. On 1/17/2012 Judge Sonny James ruled that the state would keep custody of the cats. Dixon and her lawyer are appealing.

Wydell Dixon had the doors to her animal rescue, Whiskerville Animal Sanctuary in Texas City, TX. forced open on 1/3/2012, after animal control officers received complaints of neglect. The officers discovered 27 dead cats that had starved to death and 168 live cats that survived this horrible case of neglect.

*Update* As of 1/13/2012 there have been 18 more cats found alive since the initial raid on 1/3/2012. Total number of rescued cats is now 186.

These articles go into further detail.
