The infinite wisdom of our government strikes yet again. This is from word of mouth but taken from the "official" documents submitted to the appeals court by the State of Michigan Attorney General's office. They have petitioned the court to dismiss the stay of execution for Kodo in the "intrest of public health and in view of the victim's health" They are requesting that Kodo be killed immediatly and tested. They have also asked the case be dismissed for lack of merit. According to what I've been told they are operating off 1992 guidelines (which we've been fighting all along) I am so sick to death of these ignorant people I am screaming. This entire thing is now entirely political. If they were indeed concerned with the public health why haven't they had a vet check Kodo daily for any outward signs of rabies? Why haven't they simply made the "victim" take the shots??? Why aren't they operating under the laws of the State of Michigan as I have to do? There's only one answer that applies to the "why's" that answer is because they overstepped their bounds, operated on policy rather than law and now they have to protect their official butts!!! They have to kill Kodo in hopes he's rabid to cover their high paid behinds, where, in this state, is justice?? If I were some type of public official they'd cover this up and hide it, but I'm just a lowly voter\taxpayer with a tiny little pet that the Director of Michigan Department of Health happens to hate with a passion. How can any public official contort their own views and misconstru them as "law"??? Yes, I'm burning hot. There is no justice in Michigan. Only what our elected and appointed officials want to do. It doesn't concern them what the rest of the world has as facts, they're a bunch of old fuddy duddies who live in their protected little space and god forbid the real world intrude on that space.
