DM,thank's for staying with this horrible case for us,I have a feeling no matter how long they prospone the trial,people will not forget about Daisy Duke any time soon.
Sadly she will become the Poster-Dog for the cruelty humans are capable of. I've been following the progress or lack thereof of a new Animal-Cruelty law for years and years,after one horrific cruelty case after the other,with no results.. Hopefully Daisy Dukes suffering will not be forgotten ![]() Would you PM me the addy for the bracelets,please..

OG: While PETA supports the Guardianship campaign, it was not their idea or concept. It was, and is, the baby of the In Defense of Animals organization.
Quote:
I 100% support the Guardianship campaign, though I don't 100% support the rest of the work that IDA does. For one, I'm not about to become a vegetarian, which is one of the first things IDA recommends people do to make a difference to animals. More information on IDA can be found here: http://www.idausa.org/ Anyhow.... the petitions and letters are important, and I do support Bill C-373. I don't, however, think that the Federal goverment is going to get it done. What did they do this week? Discussed, AGAIN, the issue of gay marriages! I don't understand why this is getting priority, when the people who kill animals for fun are allowed to walk the streets... the ones who kill animals are the ones who eventually are going to start killing or hurting people. And I don't think a gay person, denied the right to marry their partner, is going to go on a killing spree over it. If they do, it's pretty likely that in their past, they hurt animals! I can't remember a single murder trial in the news where the person said that they did it because they couldn't marry their same-sex partner. I just can't understand why politicians keep ignoring the facts about people who abuse animals and their potential harm to humans in the future. The federal government isn't going to get it done... which is why I'm fighting locally, first with the Guardianship campaign, then I'm going to work on local bylaws, then I'm going to work on Provincial laws. Then, if there's nothing federal, then I'll fight for federal changes. I will update again after Monday's court date. Melissa

Dec 11 Update
I went to the Court house today. Not many people there... seems most people are forgetting about it already.
![]() Turns out that I was wrong about last Thursday... drove all the way out there, saw the sign on the door that said the court was only open Monday, Wednesday & 1st, 2nd & 3rd Fridays, and I went home. Turns out there *was* a court date for the younger accused, though he didn't show up. He is now 18 (I guess he was 2 weeks away from his birthday when Daisy Duke died), so there's a small possibility he might be upgraded to "adult" status. He is back in court Jan 18 (also a Thursday) to enter his plea. I will post articles tomorrow, as there was a lot of media there today. The one thing that the lawyer said which has me totally weirded out is that the 2 boys have different lawyers, and it sounds as if they will each be witnesses in each other's case. He said if the younger boy wasn't a crown witness, he'd be a defense witness--the story they're sharing is that it was the younger boy who did most of the horrific things to the dog. I have no idea how this will work; each boy will say the other did it to get themselves off, so unless the trials are together, I have no idea how it'll make any sense. Daniel's lawyer entered a plea of "not-guilty" to all charges (including obstructing an officer or whatever that was) and his trial will start May 23, 2007. ![]() Will repost tomorrow with updated articles. Melissa

Thank's Melissa,there was a side-bar article in the Toronto Star this morning.
It only stated two men have been charge and described the horror. I am not surprised at the courtdate in May,the same happened in Kensington the cat,case. I followed it for months only to break down in disbelief at the non-verdicts ![]() I am hoping people will not forget ![]()

I, too, hope that people don't forget, but based on the turnout at the court house yesterday (which was very few people), I'm thinking that people have either already forgotten, or just don't care anymore--possibly because it's Christmas? My own mother thinks I'm "beating a dead dog" by continuing to go up there. She said "you can't change anything, you're just wasting your time and beating a dead... dog." Right now, I hate my mother. She doesn't support me in this, but at least she could have said "drive safe" or whatever, she didn't have to be such a horrible person about it! ![]() Despite my mom being a witch, I'm going to stick this one through, and I will be back Jan 18 for the younger one (especially since I missed the first date!), and I will go back for every single trial date, unless I have urgent things, like appointments that I can't reschedule or family emergencies. Hopefully once trial starts, it won't take too long. Well.... I guess that's about all I have for today. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas & New Years, and please, if you can spare any time &/or money, please give to your local animal shelter, rescue or anything that helps animals. Merry Christmas Daisy Duke, and may the holidays bring you lots of bones, chewies, soft warm blankets and because you truly deserve it, the hugs, thoughts and best wishes from those who knew you and those who didn't but who miss you now.

Disappointed in the Charges against a protestor
I am highly disappointed that a protestor has been charged, after losing it over the Daniel Haskett abuse of Daisy Duke. I am told that the SPCA has been called to the Haskett home several time by neighbors, because of neglect of Diesel and Daisy. I had a neighbour who had a Rottweiller that his son tied up in the back yard, never fed her and never walked her. The SPCA were called several times before they finally showed up. They did nothing except to tell the concerned neighbours DO NOT FEED THIS DOG. We were all shocked as the dog was starving to death, until we fed her. I absolutely will not donate a penny to the SPCA as I believe they are animal abusers themselves. The protestor will probably get a harsher sentence than the criminal themselves which show how sad our judicial system has become.

AnneM.unfortunately it's not against the law to chain a dog outside,at least not in Ontario.
However the animals has to have shelter and of course food and water. In the case of this Rottweiler,if he is starving and neglected,the SPCA should definetly have stepped in and helped the poor dog. Unlike in some US states,our SPCA cannot just go on to someones property and remove a dog,even with visible signs of neglect,without giving the owners a warning. The laws are long overdue to change,regarding animal-cruelty...but I am sure,once again the new bill will be put away and forgotten,until the next Daisy-Duke horrorstory. As for punishing these,to me,evil young men,it wont amount to anything,I've seen it before,time and time again. There will be no justice for poor Daisy-Dukes suffering:sad:

Time For Action
The sadistic and brutal killing of Daisy Duke by 2 sick and twisted freaks has, once again, brought the issue of animal cruelty to the attention of the general public. It is unfortunate that it takes a case such as this to make people realize the depravity and cruelty that animals continue to suffer. The fact that the maximum amount of time that Charles Haskett could be sentenced to is six months clearly shows that the government and the courts continue to equate the brutal killing of an animal with damaging someone's property. As long as animal cruelty laws remain in the property crimes section of the Criminal Code individuals such as Charles Haskett will continue to recieve minimal or no jail time for brutal offences. It is indicitive of the skewed priorities of the justice system that an individual who tortures and kills an animal faces less serious charges than the person who kicked the van Haskett was riding in.
The fact that the police elected to lay a charge against an individual for kicking the van Haskett was in and then dismissing the same individual from the selection process for the RCMP even before a trial was held clearly shows that the police put a higher priority on potential property damage than they do on an animal. The police did not have to lay a charge against the individual who kicked the van but they chose to lay one in spite of the minor nature of the actions of the individual. Assuming that the e-mail which has been circulating on the Internet is actually from Charles Haskett it is clear that he has no remorse and sees absolutely nothing wrong with what he did. It is equally clear that he fears the reactions of the public and the possibility of spending time in jail which are the same fears that all animal abusers fear. While there is a place for petitions and polite protest there is also a place for more aggresive tactics such as those used by a number of people at Haskett's court appearance. While the police will be quick to label the surrounding and kicking of the van as "violence" the reality is that it got a very clear message to Haskett and while aggresive it was not violent. Civil disobedience and direct action are legitimate and effective tools in the fight for animal rights or even just for animal welfare. As the founding member of The Animal Defense League-Edmonton Chapter I believe that there is a place for civil diobedience and direct action alongside the more traditional and less confrontational tactics used by many activists. There is, without question, a higher risk in using unconventional tactics as the police and governments automatically label any challenge as "violence". Dr. Jerry Vlasak, the founder of the first Animal Defense League chapter in Los Angeles, has been labelled as everything you can think of including a "terrorist" in spite of the fact that he has never hurt or injured anyone and is, in fact, a dedicated trauma surgeon! I invite everyone to visit our website ***** for further information on the "radical" side of the animal rights movement. As for Charles Haskett there is no need for anyone to attack him since he will more than likely be given at least some time in jail where the other inmates will almost certainly knock his arrogant attitude out of him while the guards simply look the other way.

I just wanted to thank you dogmelissa and everyone working to change the laws that are neglecting animals right to a peaceful existance in their short time on this earth. It's difficult for me to keep up with the details of this horrific story, every time I look at a few lines I well up with tears.:sad: I'm sorry to hear your mum doesn't support you in all the good you are doing, I think she should be proud. All the best to you in this new year.

Recent Updates
I failed to post in January when the younger boy was supposed to appear in court for his plea entering. What happened that day is that his lawyer pushed it off, again. The judge said something to the effect of "this has gone on long enough" and said that he must enter his plea on February 28. Obviously, this is the 26th, so I will update on what his plea was on Wednesday.
The thing that bothers me the most about this is how quickly people have forgotten. The first court date, there was a *huge* group of people, many of them out from the "Voice for Animals" group in Edmonton. Many others were out from the town (friends, acquantances, neighbours, etc). At the January date for the younger boy, there was myself, one lady who has been to every court date, one person from the Calgary Media, and a radio DJ from Olds. The older boy's trial starts May 23. I wonder how many people will be there for that? Updates from the news: http://tinyurl.com/2sz3lx Quote:

Melissa,believe me,I have not forgotten about Daisy Duke and her abusers,I've watched every day for an update and thank you for posting.
I never forget such a horror-story and if I lived anywhere near there I would be right beside you in court. Daisy-Duke needs us to remember the suffering she went through at the hands of these two creatures,but I am afraid,just like with Kensington the cat in Toronto(who was brutally tortured to death)these kids will get off.:sad: Bill C373 has to pass,it's way passed time to change a 100yr old law,but it's not something that will fill the governments coffers with money,it's just about tortured lives of animals,so,do they really care??? Thank you Melissa,I really appreciate you not giving up on poor Daisy Duke ![]()

Thanks for remembering. Regarding the status of the bills, S-213 & C-373; this is an extremely dry read, but quite informative. This is the official transcript of the House of Commons discussions on Monday, Febraury 26, 2007. http://tinyurl.com/2ahqnq My personal beliefs are that it would be nice to have some federal legislation for the protection of animals, but I find it really hard to have any faith that it'll actually happen. While I'd like them to just protect animals, I want them to understand that by protecting animals, they will be protecting people. The federal government repeatedly has failed to take any notice of the fact that every single serial killer in the 20th century abused animals at one point in their life. Until they realize that by protecting animals, they are ultimately protecting people, no law will ever pass through the federal system, IMO. I would like to support these bills, and I do, but I don't have faith that they will ever become law. It's sad, but that's how I see it. That is why I'm trying to get the Guardian campaign going. I'd love to see laws like they have in New York & Seattle, but I don't even have a clue where to begin with that fight, so I'll start with the Guardianship. I need to get back into that fight, I've been distracted from it for a bit too long now. Dog park, here I come! Regarding the Tamara Chaney petition, here is the transcript of it being presented to the house (this link should jump to it in the middle of the very long document): http://tinyurl.com/2rjd83 Update on today: Youth was, of course, not present. I'm confused at this time whether the guy who spoke to the judge (again) is the defense lawyer or what his role actually is, but he said something to the extent of "I'm waiting for disclosure from the Crown" and the plea date has again been moved off, this time to March 21. The wonderful woman who has been as dedicated as myself in following this case will be on vacation that week, so I'll be on my own. So I guess there's not much to do until then, except watch the news for updates on the petition in the House, and wait and hope that justice will happen. And work on the Guardianship campaign. Thanks for keeping up on this guys, and again, if you want any information on the Guardianship campaign, don't hesitate to ask. ![]() ![]() And to Daisy Duke & Kensington; I hope you're having fun playing together up there beyond the Rainbow bridge. We send you both (and all others) all our love. We know that you know that we're fighting in your honor. Melissa

Dogmelissa, please don't think we've forgotten. I remind my coworkers every day about the cruel and horrible way people treat animals. I have become somewhat of an unofficial advocate for animal rights at my building, trying to educate pet guardians about how to best care for their pets. It's a challenge, but I feel like if I get through to one person, I've accomplished something. I am planning to take leave from work when that wretched waste of oxygen goes to court so I can be there and look at the dirt bag that would dare harm a defenseless animal that showed him nothing but love and devotion. It makes me sick to even think about it, but I feel like I have to do something, if only for my piece of mind......

I have already written my MP regarding the bill introduced by Myron Thompson - She is not fond of Mr. Thompson but likes his bill - but wants it to go further. I told her I absolutely agree (not re Mr. T but the bill, lol - lest I get into trouble here
![]() I have to study the other animal rights bills to see what exactly they say. I actually think this one has a good chance of making it- if that archaic institution known as the Senate does not block it for some esoteric obscure reason that makes no sense - or just plain stupidly aka political loyalty even when a law is good!!!! Mr. Bryden's bill sounds good as well. What we need though is an omnibus bill of some kind that overhauls (hate that word but it;s what comes to mind) all the legislation we have at the federal level giving our companion animals - and all animals - better protection and the rights they deserve!!! It is time we actually moved into the 21st century where our furbabies and their cohorts are concerned!!!!! I am still furious at the Senate for holding up that other bill, Arrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh!!!

Melissa,interesting read,although it took me 1/2 hour to find the tiny portion allocated for Animal Cruelty.:sad:
I have no idea who Myron Thompson is,but I too will write my MP,whom I believe to be Bonnie Brown. I have no great hopes our government will dedicate even 5 minutes to the subject of the treatment of our animals. Tamara Chaney's 111.000+ petitions is a good start The media could do so much more,we often read a small shocking caption in our newspapers about horrific abuse,but very seldom is there a followup. Except Kensington the cats story,which was widely reported,because of the horrific cruelty. However,when the nonverdict for the 3 demons who tortured him to death,finally came,I cried for the injustice done to Kensington. It's sad,when all you can do is cry for these poor helpless animals ![]() ![]() Thank's Melissa ![]()

Regardless, I can guarantee that I will be there, for every minute of every day that the trial(s) are on. If I have to sacrifice pay to do so, I will do it. So in May, look for me! I have the same feeling... the whole thing makes me sick, but for my mental health, I have to see this through, though I suspect I already know the verdict. :sad: Anyhow... I need to get off the computer so I can go home and give my furry ones the hugs they deserve. Updates later this month... and as they come up in the House. Melissa

Update number.... 7?
Update on today's court date, where the younger boy was supposed to enter a plea.
Yet again, another wasted trip. No plea, pushed off again. One media person told the other media person that the boy's lawyer told him that the Crown (prosecuter) had been unable to speak to the boy, and that's why it keeps getting pushed off. This seems pretty impossible to me, but I'm no expert, so I have no idea. Anyhow, the next court date (when we'll hopefully get a plea) is Wednesday April 18. I haven't heard any updates about the petition in the House... anyone? Will be back in April for another update. Melissa

Update April 4
Just found out something interesting today... we'd heard at the first court date from some people in town that Daniel may be facing other charges, for attacking a person, but we had no proof. Now we do.
http://www.didsburyreview.ca/news3.html Quote:
Regardless of what happens in THAT case, I hope that the judge at the trial looks at his arrest history and realizes that this kid is not the kind of person who should be trusted out in public! How many times do we have to tell them about the link between cruelty to animals and later abusing people?? When it's happening at the same time, what's going to happen to the next poor person who crosses his path? He'll probably rape, torture and then murder that person, and maybe THEN people will realize the help that this kid needs. I'm SO frustrated with the lack of foresight in the political and judicial system that I just want to throw my hands up in the air and go live in a place where monkeys rule. It can't possibly be as stupid as this. Even meerkats have "laws" and actually follow through on the punishments for breaking those laws. Surely we're smarter than meerkats? (Does anyone else watch Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet?) *sigh* So I'll be back in court on the 18th of April for the younger kid's next date... it'll be a small miracle if he actually enters a plea. Then I'll be back on May 24 for the start of Daniel's trial. We'll see if he actually shows up for THAT date! I'd love to bring my computer to type in things as they happen, but I don't imagine that'd go over too well, so I'll just bring paper and write it down. Will check in on April 18. Melissa

Thanks for the update. There surely needs to be tougher laws for animal abuse and the younger offender act is stupid. How much proof do people need when it comes to the link between animal abusers and people abusers, it has been proven time and time again. Jeffery Dahmer for one started out tourching animals and then went on to people...he wasn't the only one.
He needs to be tied behind a car and dragged, then maybe he will finaly understand what he did. It just drives me nutts that cops can't touch you until you are of age...they don't even repsond to shoplifting calls anymore. Not that I want to see kids get beatten but they have no fear and think they are untouchable....sadly for the most part they are. ![]() |

A Eulogy to a Dog
We all know that dogs have special qualities which make them unique among all creatures on this earth. Their devotion and loyalty to man, have set them apart. One of the most enduring eulogies to this affect was presented by a Sedalia, Mo. lawyer by name of George Graham Vest, who was later to become a US Senator.. His speech was in response to a lawsuit on behalf of "Old Drum", a foxhound who was viciously killed by a human neighbor. His owner brought suit for damages. Senator Vest concluded his case with the following speech: "Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a man has in the world many turn against him and become his worst enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it the most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. Gentleman of the jury, a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies and when the last scene of all come, and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his grave side will the noble dog be found. his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death." Old Drum's master won his suit, amidst a courtroom filled with tears, and Senator Vest's statement has been preserved as a classic statement as presented above. Thank You Dog Melissa, for keeping Daisy Duke's spirit alive with your updates. It means so much to us that you take your time to update this thread. God bless you, ![]() Cruelty towards animals happens everywhere, hopefully one day the laws will be there to protect animals from abuse...all over the world.
