We Need To Know

We need the truth...will we get it?  Please pray for the people of Japan and all of us...

I Can't Stop Hating You

The recent posts about Guzoo, the roadside zoo cesspool have got me scouring the internet for more news, updates and info on these fucking losers.  What we do know is that the Guzoo used to operate as a fur farm, and now calls itself a "sanctuary" for animals.  Not sure how someone who once skinned animals for their pelts knows about providing a safe haven for animals.  I wondered if Gustafson himself had anything to say to shed some light on this, and then I found an article where he actually says that if he is forced to get rid of the animals, he'll just kill them for taxidermy.  AH!  The truth comes out.  He's after the money, NOT what is best for the animals.

I know a lot of animal welfare folk, and NONE of us would think that killing the animals for taxidermy was the best thing for the animals or that it was the actions or words of a caretaker running a proper sanctuary.  By definition, "sanctuary" means to keep safe from harm.

If this is the case, due to the nature of the word VS Gustafson's actions, we should demand that he not be allowed to operate under the "sanctuary" moniker.  It should be removed from his website, from their title and we'll let a spade be called a spade.  

In the meantime, maybe we should order Gustafson some books?  I vote for this one.  Just sayin'.  Maybe there is a chapter about bleeding head wounds?

 

I CALL BULLSHIT!

Fuck, I am so sick and tired of people using the "rescue" moniker to gain trust so that they can collect donations from do-gooding people and then just exploit the animals that they claim to rescue.  Don't get me wrong, there are MANY good rescues out there, doing great work and worthy of your donations.  In fact, they NEED your donations to keep fighting the good fight.  But, sadly, there are many shit ones too.  One that I'm enjoying picking on right now is Guzoo, the fucked up, animal neglecting "sanctuary" in Alberta, Canada.

You can see more of these fuck wads here.  They sure do exploit the term "rescue".  I mean, first off, you have to actually SAVE something to rescue it...and putting tigers in small cages with no stimulation and giving them frozen water with shit in it doesn't exactly = rescue.

Second, after a little glance around their website, it would seem that a lot of the animals there aren't even fucking rescued in the first place.  They were bred or bought TO BE AT THE GUZOO.  Fucking morons.  Why you'd breed an animal just so you could plop it in a cage and feed it shitty water and plastic is beyond me, but there you go, there's one in every bunch.

I mean, fuck, this is taken from their own website.  Look at the animals they bring on their "touring zoo"!

Animals often seen at GuZoo's petting zoos are:

Mini horses/w baby
mini donkeys/with baby
Alpacas/with baby
llamas
sheep/lambs
goats/kids
bunnies
guinea pigs
pot bellied piglets
ducks
geese
chickens/chicks
baby emus
kittens
puppies

Seriously! They are breeding mini horses, donkeys, alpacas, sheep, goats, bunnies, guinea pigs, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens, emus, kittens and puppies! Just a news flash, RESCUES DON'T BREED. They also had a litter of the Basset hounds they claim to love, and look in this video to see where they thought was an appropriate place to put her whelping box!

But really, it is hard to look at the photos of the tigers with their frozen water, the cats with their frost bitten ears. But, silly people, don't feel bad! Look at what they wrote on their website (I couldn't make this shit up if I tried)!

"Don’t feel bad for the animals in the winter, they are much better suited to tolerate the cold temperatures then you might think. Instead, give our poor zoo keepers some sympathy. Regardless of the weather conditions, they must trample through snow, struggle with frozen locks, numb fingers and fight with the feed tractor which often chooses not to start on the REALLY cold days. Having to dress in layer upon layer of clothing makes movement all that more laborious. Shoveling snow out of gates and walkways, making necessary repairs to damage caused by board breaking winter winds, and trekking out into the various pastures to check that the automatic waterers have not froze up, are just some of the hardships of winter Believe me; the winter is harder on the humans at the zoo than the animals."

Yeah! Don't feel bad for the cats drinking POOED IN WATER! Don't feel bad for those pesky monkeys with nothing to do, or the tigers pacing in their cage. Don't feel bad for the wolves being taunted by the dogs. Feel bad for the poor zoo keepers! They have to fumble with cold locks!!! On top of that, but they have to do it all in an extra layer of clothes.

Here, I have something for the zoo keepers, the only ones who CHOOSE to be there. The ones who, unlike the animals, could JUST QUIT THEIR FUCKING JOBS IF THEY WANTED TO, instead of bitch about how hard life is...here it is, just for them:

Yeah, see, I don't give two shits about you, your second layer of clothes or your poor, cold fingers. What I do give a shit about is the way you've been treating the animals and the fact that you claim to care for them and rescue them. You're a bunch of dead beat liars who are in way over their heads and can't admit it. It makes me sick that you are the "caretakers" of these animals and you betray that privilege.

You WILL be closed down. And fuck you to the Alberta Fish and Wildlife, who gave these fuckers animals and also to the Calgary Zoo and anyone else who put animals in their care over the years. SHAME ON YOU!

What. The. Fuck.

To the people who took these photos and brought them to everyone to see, THANK YOU.  You are truly heroes and I hope Karma pays you well...

There are a lot of bad people out there.  A lot.  But, there are good people too.  Some of those good people posted some photos on Facebook of a zoo, a really fucked up, sick, animal neglecting zoo.  These people documented exactly what they saw at this fucked up zoo, and I want to post them here to help spread the word about what is happening at Guzoo Animal Farm.

The Guzoo Animal Farm's website claims that they are a licensed "animal sanctuary".  Sanctuary, by definition, means: "A reserved area in which birds and other animals, especially wild animals, are protected from hunting or molestation."  Hmmmm, you look at these photos, tell me if this is what you consider a "sanctuary"...

The Guzoo itself...

Tortoise enclosure...can the animal even turn around in here? 

The floor of feces and urine...and a view of the enclosure and dirty water...

A bird with horrible tail feathers.  Sometimes they will pull them from stress...what happened here?

A small cage for a mom and baby...apparently they were stressed from the dogs allowed to roam.  

Feeding the animals oranges in the plastic net?  Hopefully they don't ingest that...

Tigers...no water, she apparently eats snow to stay hydrated.

No enrichment.  What a meek existence.

The male tiger's water...bird feces and frozen solid!

This breaks my heart.  Dogs allowed to taunt the wolves.  

A pig attempting to eat an old coat?

WHY IS THIS ANIMAL NOT AT A VET???  Instead it is left to attempt to eat plastic?

I have an idea...lets feed the rabbits CRUTONS IN A PLASTIC BAG.

Random dead animals...

The dove cage...Oh my God...

People on the "Save the Guzoo" facebook page have a lot to say about the GOOD things this zoo does, and why we should save it.  Kim Mcrae says "These new mandates are absolute crap! It goes against everything our small town zoo is about. I wonder if any of these yuppies who set up this mandate have ever even been to the zoo and experianced the love and compassion towards the animals and seen the smiles on the faces of the people. The Three Hills Guzoo is a wonderful place and I wont let anyone say any different! Believe me many letters will be written and many angry people will be fighting for this place!!! Keep up the good work everyone at the zoo : )"

WOW.  I must be a yuppie then, 'cause I don't consider leaving a cat outside to get frostbite on its ears "love and compassion"...

But, silly Yuppies, the mandates imposed on the Guzoo go "against everything the town is about".  I've made a tourism poster for the town so that everyone can see how Three Hills is such a "wonderful place".  

Amanda Tevendale says "The guzoo is an awesome zoo- where else are you able to see baby animals?"  Oh, fuck, how could I be so stupid.  You can see baby animals????  This place must be an AWESOME ZOO! What was I thinking?  So awesome that you can see baby animals and young animals WITH BLEEDING HEADS!

SHEER AWESOME-NESS FOR YUPPIES

Regan Sept says "This zoo is great and everyone who hates it don't go there or just shut your ugly face."  Oh, Regan, you backwoods red neck hic.  We're not done with your precious little zoo.  You've only just seen the start of what we're going to do, and I promise you that we won't stop until the zoo is closed, people are charged and those animals are safe and well cared for.  I'm not going to shut my ugly face until the wolves are in a proper sanctuary, the tigers have fucking water and the goats don't walk around with blood pouring from their fucking heads.  

I will continue to post but, please join the facebook page set up to save these animals.  I will find out contact info for the SPCA's, mayor, council members and everyone else who needs to get their asses in gear to help these animals.  

*UPDATE- PLEASE CALL THE ALBERTA SPCA WITH YOUR CONCERNS.  This is from the Alberta SPCA: We are taking a list of names and phone numbers from people who are concerned about Guzoo at 780-732-3746. Please use this number for your concerns rather than our Animal Protection Services line. You can also write your MLAs or the Ministers of Agriculture and Sustainable Resources Development.

Anger Management

After yesterday's post, we saw some very heated comments about your feelings toward Kisha Curtis, the woman who has been charged with starving her dog and presumably throwing it down the garbage chute.  She has admitted to not caring for him, stating that she "couldn't take care of him anymore".  Ah, fuck.  I was sort of hoping that the person responsible for this crime would be a seriously mentally ill, immensely poverty stricken person who simply could not grasp that the dog needed care.  Although what happened to Patrick would still be terrible, and no less tragic, at least there were be a reason this happened, and although we could still collectively hate them, perhaps we could draw some understanding.

But no.  The person allegedly responsible for this

appears in her facebook photos as someone who has taken time to care for herself, and the fake nails she had surely cost more than a cheap bag of dog food.  Leaving him alone with no food, while she watched him waste away...I mean, the dog ate a SOCK for fuck sakes, to try to quell the hunger he was feeling.  This is so beyond messed up, and judging by the comments you've left on Patrick's last post, it is seriously causing a lot of people to be very, very angry.

I've heard from a few people who say that we shouldn't post these things, that her lawyer will simply use it in her favor and get her out of a trial, or a reduced sentence.  That voicing our anger will give them cause to think that she isn't able to receive a fair trial.  Ah, fuck it!  I mean, "fair" trial?  The fucking max this woman can get is 6 months in jail, but more likely she'll get a $1000 fine and some community service.  So, in the mean time, I say go ahead, voice your anger!  Perhaps this is what is needed, for the entire country to wake up and realize what is happening and truly get pissed off and vocal about it!  The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say, and its about time that North America's animal welfare laws got some grease.  

I must say, in response to some of the comments, that I do NOT condone anyone causing bodily harm to another.  I do feel that Kisha will be well taken care of by our bitchy friend Karma, but I am not advocating that anyone take these matters into their own hands.  Presently she is being dealt with by the police, by the law, and at this time perhaps shift your anger towards making sure that your voice is heard.  Find out who the judge is, write to him.  Protest (peacefully) outside of the courtroom.  Write letters, DO SOMETHING.  Let's do something so soon, dogs like Patrick aren't left to suffer while their owners pay off $1000 fines.  

Because, honestly?  That's total fucking BULLSHIT.  

Remember, this is NOT an isolated case.  The reason that we heard about Patrick is because he lived, truly defying the odds.  But there are people right in your own community doing shitty things to animals RIGHT NOW, and we need an army to go out there and fight the good fight.  Decide what you can do to help and just fucking do it! 

Outrage

The max for doing what she did is 6 months.  More likely we'll see her get something more toned down.  People really need to start understanding what we allow in this world.  This is not ok...

BREAKING NEWS

Here is the scum sucking low life bitch who allegedly did this:

Her name is Kisha Curtis.  She's been charged, but much more mildly than she should be.  Fuck our cruelty laws!  FUCK!  

Instead of taking skanky photos of yourself, you should have FED YOUR DOG, you low life bitch!  Anything would have been better than that old sock he ate to try to suppress his hunger.  Thank God you've been caught.  Now the world will know what the Devil looks like.
