Today I spoke with the Attorney General of Washington's office. The nice lady I spoke with did not even KNOW what I was talking about, she hadn't heard about it at all! She gave me the number of the city prosecutor's office. I called them, and after the interminable beauracratic "hold" (not even any entertaining muzak, just "beeps") I spoke with the receptionist. She informed me that there had been a request for charge put in, but the person responsible had not been charged. So, folks, it now rests in the hands of the city prosecutor. His number is 1-509-456-3662. Let's hope that he doesn't let this slip through as "not important." My prayers go out to Jean and to the poor babies over the Rainbow Bridge and one's left suffering. I do so hope they learn to trust again. This young man is demented and sick. I hope he doesn't escape consequences for his actions and live free to torment other animals. Heaven forbid he should hurt Jean! As for her landlord,...... I just don't understand people anymore. How can we hurt something smaller and weaker than us. These same people must surely abuse children too. The ramifications are terrible. Catherine, Pato and Snowball [Posted in FML issue 2145]
