AGAIN 16 DOGS AND 2 CATS FOUND DEAD at a St.Bernard Elementary School. ALL SHOT TO DEATH.

UPDATE FROM PASADO (http://www.pasadosafehaven.org) by counselor03, 10/7/05 18:06 ET UPDATE: Today, Mark Steinway from PasadoRescue, and investigators from the Louisiana State Attorney General's Office collected 15 dead dogs and cats from the St. Bernard Elementary School for necropsy. 7 dogs and 2 cats were found inside - 9 dogs were found at the football stadium. Some were tied up. Some tied with what appeared to be a jet-ski two rope. Steinway collected .22 and shotgun shell casings for examination by forensics specialists. All animals had been shot to death.

PasadoRescuers were en route to the State of Louisiana's School of Veterinary Medicine Diagnostic lab for x-rays and necropsies when the director of the lab called Steinway to tell him that 29 animals (between yesterday's animals collected, and today's) were too many for them to process. Steinway got on the phone with Dr. Martha Littlefield, the Louisiana State Veterinarian, who MADE them take all the animals. We are grateful to her.

We are incurring huge costs providing the x-rays and necropsies on these animals. Each of the 29 animals will take approximately $500 worth of veterinary services. Not to mention the ballistics tests, which will come next. We MUST find who did this. PasadoRescue is a small organization - we're not like the "big gun" national groups who each made $17 million in donations on this disaster, yet we are the ONLY group investigating this crime. If you can help us pay for these fees, please donate securely here and note "for dog shooting investigation" when you donate.

Words fail me at this horror. I have been sending out outraged email to over 200 people and calling all political entities for over 2 weeks. Makes me so sick that I cannot sleep. Let me get my hands on these St. Bernard sheriff's deputies that did this. I am from Louisiana. Know all about these MONSTERS. People are afraid of all police. They are dirty, on the take and run by organized crime. The victims are the voters, ordinary people and their children. Louisiana, isn't it time to get RID of these sub-human individuals who point their guns at you, steal everything they they can and kill your animals? My family is all for an old-fashioned lynching party! I don't want this to ever be forgotton. This is the sickest bunch of slimeballs that have ever lived. They need to be stuck in the old-fashioned mental hospital for life and their frontal lobes scrambled.

My dad once worked in New Orleans for a year in the 60s, and when I show him the various police corruption incidents where they were bright enough to wave a gun in the CNN anchor's face and so forth, he says that it was like that back then.

If you look here, this might be part of the problem. Find New Orleans on this list. Also, what's going on in California? Corrupt police in Oakland have nothing to whine about. People who have things stolen from their houses often can't get a dispatcher to even send a patrol car out.
