Wrapping Up The
"Olympic" Rodeo Campaign
From SHARK - news@sharkonline.org
Dear
Friends,
As most of you know, the Olympic rodeo went off in a series of three
performances, February 9-11. While this may lead some of our people to
believe that our efforts against the rodeo world were fruitless, I am here to
tell you that this is not the case.
I consider this campaign to be one of the most productive I have ever been a
part of, and I have little doubt that our opposition also feels that the animal
protection movement was the big, big winner. However, since there was no
clear knockout in this match-up, let's score this contest, and see who wins on
points, in the style of the Olympic Games.
Here at SHARK, we have impaneled a team of specially trained, specially
qualified judges (actually, its just me) to carefully and skillfully (well, I'm
taking my best shot) score this contest.
In October, the atmosphere in rodeo-friendly Salt Lake City (SLC) was extremely
hostile to animal protectors. Mitt Romney, president of the Salt Lake
Organizing Committee (SLOC) referred to animal protectors as "a bigger
threat to the Olympics than Osama Bin Laden." The media ate it up,
and the anti-animal rhetoric went on unabated until the Tiger Truck arrived
with its video images of undeniable rodeo animal abuse. Almost
immediately, the polls in SLC began to reflect the effect of the Tiger.
Score a point for the animals.
Salt Lake animal protector Colleen Gardner made a presentation to SLC Mayor
Rocky Anderson. After careful consideration, Mayor Anderson publicly came
out against the Olympic rodeo.
Score a big point for the animals.
When a couple columnists for a local Salt Lake newspaper write articles bashing
animal protectors, I challenged the columnists, as well as the staff of the
Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and local rodeo supporters to a
debate. Not one rodeo supporter shows. The blowout was well covered
by the television, radio and print media.
Score another point for the animals.
In early January, with the rodeo on shaky ground, Utah State Representative
Paul Ray entered the rodeo controversy with claims that SHARK is a terrorist
organization that had threatened the Olympics -- a completely baseless and
utterly ridiculous claim that received a far amount of media attention.
Score a point for the rodeo Mafia
On January 4, the Tiger caught the Olympic Torch in Chicago, Illinois,
beginning a dizzying month-long odyssey that would take it to cities in
Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona,
California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and
Utah. This resulted in millions of people seeing the Tiger's rodeo
presentation directly, and more millions see it by way of media coverage.
Score a whole boatload of points for the animals.
In early February, Ray repeated his baseless charges about animal advocates
being terrorists on live Salt Lake City television, after he foolishly agreed
to debate me on the rodeo issue. Mr. Ray lost the debate, and lost more
when SHARK filed a defamation lawsuit against him. The story of the
lawsuit received media attention around the nation.
Score more points for the animals.
When the Olympic Torch came to Taylorsville High School, the Tiger showed up to
support the High School's student animal rights group. While local police
and teachers stood by and did nothing, violent pro-rodeo students pelted the
truck with snowballs, ice balls and bottles. Two shark video cameras
documented the violence, and numerous students have been suspended. One
student who jumped on the side of the Tiger, leaving numerous dents, faces
criminal charges. The violent people - the rodeo people - were again
exposed.
More points for the animals.
When the Olympic rodeo finally went off, it was not a bull, but a steer.
The calves and steers, the victims who usually suffer the most in a rodeo, were
treated with kid gloves, to the point that they had little reason to run out of
the chutes. They seemed to sense that they had a free pass for a change.
The contestants were the most proficient lot the rodeo Mafia had to
offer. These guys aren't supposed to miss, but they missed a lot of the
animals because they had to take great care not to hurt them. Calf ropers
roped air, and steer wrestlers made contact with the ground, while steers stood
back at the chutes and watched.
Score another point for the animals.
When at one point the rodeo people became so frustrated with the stalling
steers, they began tail pulling, which was a direct violation of promises from
SLOC president Mitt Romney and Olympic Cultural Director Ray Grant that tail
pulling would not happen. Unfortunately, the animal abusers had a SHARK
video camera watching them, and their cruelty became the topic of a SHARK press
conference. This resulted in another wave of negative attention to the
rodeo, and the Olympics.
PRCA "animal welfare coordinator" Cindy Schonholtz gave conflicting
statements to the media. Schonholtz told one newspaper that tail pulling
was a violation of PRCA rules, and that a contestant could be disqualified.
However, she told another newspaper that the PRCA had no specific rule against
tail pulling. So, Cindy, what's the real deal?
Based on the rodeo Mafia sticking its cow dung encrusted foot in its mouth,
score another point for the animals.
In the case of the bucking horses, the rodeo used huge horses that bucked less,
but were harder to injure. These horses dwarfed the pickup horses.
It was still cruelty, but it was to a lesser degree.
Score another point for the animals.
For the bulls, it was a holiday from the electric prod. With more of
their faculties, the bulls did quite a job on a few of the contestants.
Score another point for the animals.
Back in December, animal protectors from the US, England and Germany traveled
to Lausanne, Switzerland to meet with Dr. Patrick Schamasch, an official with
the International Olympic Committee. Dr. Schamasch said the committee
would look into the rodeo issue in general, but promised that rodeo contestants
would not get bronze, silver and gold medals. However, the same Dr.
Schamasch was in the rodeo stands watching when his promise was violated, and
rodeo contestants did receive bronze, silver and gold medals.
Scoring on this issue is split. Score one for the phony cowboys for
getting what they didn't deserve, but score one for the animals for our expose
of spineless Olympic officials.
The rodeo Mafia was so upset about the media attention given to animal
protectors, they decided to spurn any reporters who properly reported both
sides of the story. The media spurned included CNN!
Score another point for the animals.
With the Olympic rodeo hemorrhaging in the area of public relations, they had
to bring in the biggest rodeo apologists the polygamy state has to offer.
Governor Mike Leavitt, Senator Orin Hatch, and my debate buddy Utah State
Representative Paul Ray did their best to lend an air of credibility to the
spectacle.
All right, like it or not, political cronies count. Score a point for the
rodeo Mafia.
A very interesting thing that happened during the three-day rodeo was the
transformation of the local police. In the beginning, they were
professional, but not particularly friendly. But after they watched the
Tiger's images for a while, the cops overwhelmingly had a change of heart.
They were doing just what we do, focusing on the victims!
The cops connected with us, and became very sensitive to the plight of rodeo
animals! I must admit that even I was surprised. They didn't have
to say a thing, but they wanted to. They wanted us to know that they
hadn't realized the crap that went on in rodeos, and did not support it now
that they saw it for themselves.
Score a paddy wagon full of points for the animals!
At one point, when I was in the rodeo and Colleen Gardner was the only person
in the Tiger, a group of rodeo thugs tried to make their way to the truck, and
their intentions were not good. The newly educated police descended on
the rodeo goons, who were unceremoniously whisked away.
Score a point for the animals!
A great deal of the success of the Olympic rodeo campaign is due to the efforts
of Colleen Gardner. Whatever Colleen lacked in animal protection
experience, she more than made up for it with her determination,
professionalism, resourcefulness, and her boundless energy and enthusiasm.
SHARK would not have put a tenth of the time, effort and resources into this
campaign had it not been for Colleen Gardner.
With the inclusion of Colleen Gardner, score a big point for the animals.
If the idiots in the rodeo Mafia had any sense at all, they would have foreseen
the public relations disaster. But don't expect intelligence from the
rodeo Mafia, and you'll rarely be surprised.
The rodeo may be over, but it seems like our work has just begun. The
Tiger is still operating at the Olympic Games, and will be in Salt Lake for
some weeks to come, where it will continue to rack up points against the rodeo
Mafia.
We have multiple police departments from cities across the country that must
now be internally investigated for their misconduct as the Tiger shadowed the
Olympic Torch. The media that this will generate will shine light on the
corruption of the Olympics in its sponsorship of animal abuse.
SHARK intends to rack up countless points against the Olympics and its filthy
rodeo for months to come, and the rodeo Mafia has been incredibly helpful in
arming us with facts and figures to use against them.
Throughout the entire campaign, I am unaware of so much as a single obscene
word or gesture used by any animal protector, while the rodeo people were
obscene, violent and cowardly. We took the Tiger into the rodeo
strongholds of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, and stood up for our beliefs, while
the rodeo people, with the exception of one hapless Utah State representative,
continue to run from debates.
I'm running out of places for all the points for the animals!
The latest Olympic story in the Salt Lake Tribune has an Olympic police officer
getting berated by SLOC president Mitt Romney for a traffic backup near an
Olympic venue. The officer says Romney used the F-word twice. The
officer and his supervisor are demanding an apology.
You see, good little Mormon boys like Romney aren't supposed to use the
F-word. Not even once! Of course, Romney denies the charge, saying
he said nothing more damning than hell. But then, I remember Mitt Romney
saying that he would eliminate calf roping, and saying that no tails would be
pulled and twisted, and that there would be special videographers at the rodeo
to make certain that everything was kosher, which there weren't.
So did Romney use the F-word? Now let me see if I have this
straight. A police officer just decided to fabricate a story about the
SLOC boss using the F-word, twice? Most interesting.
Did I mention that we found the police in Salt Lake City to be a good bunch of
people? They were honest and trustworthy in all their dealings with
us. And now they are ganging up on poor, poor Mitt Romney? I don't
think so!
Oh, by the way, the final sentence of the article reads, "Utah Department
of Public Safety chief Robert Flowers has decided against a profanity
probe." Now call me cynical, but wouldn't you think that if Romney
were innocent, he would encourage and even demand a probe, to get to the truth?
I say hook both the cop and Romney up to a lie detector, and I'll put my money
on the cop for truthfulness.
Mitt Romney brought cruelty and violence into the Olympic Games, which are
already racked with charges over and over again of corruption, score fixing and
other scandals. Mitt lied throughout the rodeo controversy. And
now, Mitt is becoming a potty-mouth, just like his rodeo buddies.
I don't know why anyone in Salt Lake is surprised.
In conclusion, and as the judge in this contest, I am awarding this campaign to
the animals, and not just rodeo victims. All animals benefited from this
effort, including in parts of the country where they are most abused.
Also, there should be Gold Medals of Compassion to Salt Lake Mayor Rocky
Anderson, all the animal protectors who helped to make this campaign so
successful, and to the Tiger.
Still in the beginning of the New Year, we opened up a nonviolent can of
whip-ass on the phony cowboys and corrupt Olympic officials, and the rodeo
season has just begun!
Kindest Regards,
Steve Hindi

Pet Quarantine in Hawaii
By Linda Conway - conwayl001@hawaii.rr.com
Aloha,
I am writing concerning Pet Quarantine. I am the wife of an active duty
Army Chaplain, who received orders to report to the Island of Oahu on July 2,
2001. Because we have a daughter with many medical problems (including
mental illness), our orders were held up while a review was made of her records
to be sure the military medical system here would be able to handle her requirements.
Thus we did not get our orders until April 7, 2001. Fortunately I spoke
to our Vet (Dr. Evans, Ft. Belvoir, VA) concerning the possibility of Hawaii
being our next duty station. She was quite upset, advising us that there is no
medical reason for Hawaii's quarantine requirements. We then made the
decision to start the costly medical requirements to qualify for the 1 month
quarantine, even though we were not sure we would be coming here. I am so
glad we did. If I had waited until my husband had orders, my furry
friends would have spent 120 days in quarantine.
I would like to take a moment to talk about our dogs, They were both adopted
from shelters. Chi-Chi, our 11 lb poodle mix, was badly abused, when we
adopted her at 2 years old. We affectionately call her
"Neurotica". We have spent 8 years loving and reassuring her
and have been rewarded by a sweet loving companion who tries to do every and
anything we ask. Itty Bitty, a 5lb Maltese, was found on the streets,
about 5 years old. She was very aloof and totally withdrawn and very
sick. We have spent the past five years gaining her trust and nursing her
back to health. She became a vivacious fur ball, very affectionate and
loving.
It was these two friends we placed in quarantine for one month. Neither
one could understand why they could not be with us. Dogs are pack
animals. They view their humans as part of their pack. We know from
canine studies that there is nothing as stressful for a canine than to be
totally isolated from the pack (that is why we have 2 dogs). With this in
mind I asked that my dogs be placed together in one cage. I was initially
told this was impossible. When I arrived the afternoon of July 3. I
found my dogs in side by side cages. They could see, but not touch.
Itty Bitty had scraped her front paws raw trying to dig out through the
concrete flooring to get to Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi was hyperventilating and
shaking. I said to the staff there at quarantine that this was
unacceptable and that my dogs needed to be together. I was told that the
staff would not enter a cage with more than one animal, but that I could do
complete care and take care of my dogs myself. I agreed since I felt had
no real choice due to what separate cages was doing to my animals medically and
emotionally. From that point until August 1, 2001 I did everything.
I cleaned, fed (I provided the food also) watered, groomed and had the dogs see
the vet when they became ill. For my work and the rental of one 3 ft by
12 ft cage, I paid $1,310.00.
But that was not all. Itty Bitty developed diarrhea and vomiting within the
first week. As she began to feel better, then Chi-Chi started to take
sick. At the end of the third week, Itty Bitty developed an eye
infection. My dogs had never before had diarrhea and vomiting like they
did in quarantine. I was told by the workers it was from the change in
the water. However as a military family, my dogs have moved and traveled
across the Continental United States many times. Either Hawaii's water is
far substandard to just about everywhere in the U.S or it was something else.
Another problem we encountered was that Chi-Chi would not use her kennel as a
bathroom, which is required since the animal is not allowed outside the
kennel. I was told to go buy a plot of grass, which we did so that
Chi-Chi could use it. She did, and we found that we needed to keep it
sprayed with insecticide, since the roaches also liked the moist grass in a
plastic tray environment.
We found ourselves spending a lot of time sitting in this cage trying to
reassure our dogs. We also noticed feral cats frequently around the
area. Since they are unvaccinated, they carry many diseases as well as
parasites such as ticks and fleas. These parasites were managed only by
diligent grooming.
I was also very concerned that many cages contained old rusted benches and
fencing, increasing the odds of injury to the animals and visitors. I saw
staff going from one cage to the next feeding and cleaning, but NOT washing
their hands. This unsanitary practice increased the chance of
transferring infection from a sick animal to a healthy one. Also, the
grass around the cages was not mowed regularly enough to keep the grass
short. The high grass and the constant presence of water (from cage cleaning
and rain) bred large numbers of mosquitoes (they were horrible!) and roaches.
As a "complete care owner" I was required to bring my own equipment
in order to clean my dogs cages. I bought a stiff long handled brush,
disinfectant, and hose nozzle. I was informed by a worker that I was to
provide my own hose, despite the fact that a hose was present just outside the
cage, a hose that many other owners used with no comment from the staff.
I hit the roof and was then "allowed" to use the hose, but I had
several run ins with this particular worker who insisted it was my job to make
sure the hose was put back in a figure 8. This included her belittling
comments as to why I was unable to put the hose back (please understand I was
not the only dog owner cleaning my dogs' cage). On the other hand, I
watched as barking or more aggressive dogs were hit with water spray if the
workers felt like it. The level of care varied greatly depending on who
was on duty.
While there, I watched as a little Yorkie in the next cage did not eat his
food, while the birds invaded his cage and ate it for him. When I alerted
the staff that he was not eating I was told he wasn't my dog. I watched
and intervened as this little dog would run to the gate as a worker approached
only to be hit with water spray because it was cleaning time (why not wait one
moment, to let the little guy know the worker had a hose??) As soon as he
realized they had the hose, he would run for his life to the back, but he was
already wet and shivering from the cold water.
On the very first day of quarantine, my dogs had blood drawn for an OIE-FAVN
test to prove they had an immunity to rabies (in other words their Rabies
vaccination was working). The results of earlier administered tests were
forwarded to the animal quarantine station before our arrival. Now they
had drawn blood for a second verification. I was told the results of the
second tests would be back in 10 days to 2 weeks. I asked if my dogs
could leave after these results were received, but was told no. The staff
said that all dogs must be in quarantine for 30 days to prove they do not have
rabies. This is in spite of the fact that we had proof that that they did
not have rabies, both upon arrival and after 2 weeks of quarantine. I do
not understand why you keep an animal in a small cage even after you know they
are rabies free (but not disease free due to the diseases in the quarantine
station). This was very different than the spirit of Aloha that I have
experienced elsewhere on O'ahu.
Because of this one month (I shudder to think what 4 months would have done) we
are back to house training Itty Bitty and coaxing her to be petted.
Chi-Chi left the station depressed and frightened, needing constant reassurance
from us. All of this is not to mention the effect that quarantine has on
our Bipolar I (a severe mental illness) daughter. We had to leave her
with friends in the mainland until the 30 days were over.
Science has advanced much since the inception of Hawaii's antiquated quarantine
rules. The "Pet Passport" system is almost four times safer
than a 120 day quarantine. Common decency calls for no less that a
modernization of Hawaii's laws. People no longer use leeches because of
medical advances. Isn't it time for Hawaii to modernize its treatment of
animals?
One of the toughest parts to this, is how many younger enlisted families are
forced to give their animals up before being transferred to Hawaii, because
they can not afford the fees involved in quarantine. As an officer's wife
it was a sacrifice, but we could do it.
We are trying to change the quarantine Laws, but need help from anyone who is
willing to add their name to our membership (there is no cost) and who are
willing to let Hawaii know the world knows their dirty little secret. Our

Savannah Alert
By Dr. Steve Best - sbest1@elp.rr.com
PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS AFTER YOU WRITE A
LETTER OR MAKE A CALL
Savannah, an elephant at the El Paso Zoo, infamous for beating Sissy the
elephant in 1998, is now alone after the death of her long-time companion Mona.
We are sure that Savannah, more than anyone else, is grieving her passing.
While the zoo was closed each day for more than 10 hours, it was Savannah and
Mona who kept each other company. It is important that during this difficult
time for Savannah, choices are made in her best interest. The zoo has refused
to retire Savannah, claiming she has “excellent care” at the zoo – but she
doesn’t have the freedom awaiting her. Please contact the Mayor and City
Council of El Paso and ask that they allow Savannah to retire to the Elephant
Sanctuary (www.elephants.com) where she can roam several hundred acres,
swim in the spring fed ponds, roll in the many mud pits and thrive in the
company of the 7 other retired elephants, including Sissy, her old friend from
El Paso who retired there 2 years ago. Savannah is nearly 50 years old and has
served the public long enough…it is time for her to retire. Only through the
same local and national pressure that freed Sissy can we help Savannah. Please email,
fax, or call the Mayor’s office. Contact:
