It makes no sense...

Hi all,
I know that there are many, many of you who have been running like crazy this week.

Trying to get some answers, trying to offer help, trying to make a difference, or just trying to understand what the heck happened/ is happening/ will happen with the poor creatures at the OSPCA.

I have been doing the same.

Animal Alliance has been trying to work through the municipalities.
People have asked why Project Jessie hasn't been telling people what they should do.
That's because I don't know what to do.
The lack of information, changes of information and reversals of information have been mind boggling.

We have a number of foster homes and vets waiting and willing to take animals. I have contacted every person that I think might be able to make something happen - and still we wait.

If you live in Aurora, Richmond Hill or Markham, please continue to push your municipal council to find out what is going on with the animals from your community.

If you live elsewhere, please continue to support Frank Klees, MPP Newmarket-Aurora (416-509-8999) as he has been pushing really hard.

Please continue to ask that OMAFRA (the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) perform an inspection of the York Region Branch and provide an unbiased assessment of the current situation and how they arrived at the current state of affairs.

Since they oversee municipal pound inspections (and the york region branch has local pound contracts), they are the only independent body that is legally allowed to do so.

Please, please send a quick email to the Hon. Carol Mitchell, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (minister.omafra@ontario.ca) to demand that they look into this quickly.
The animals that are left and those still being sent to the shelter, really need your voice.
Thank you.

Shelly
