Those are his offices, I can't believe a State Senator that was MD could stand to look at these pictures. Hand written letters get faster attention, so maybe others will do the same. Starting at the top is always the best way to go in a situation as this. Then next is the Governor, shame on Senator Bill Frist I copied the pictures and sent in my letter.
Here is the Governor's information below:

Mr. Phil Bredesen
Governor's Office
Tenneessee State Capital
Nashville, TN. 37243-0001

Telephone: 615-741-2001
FAX: 615.532.9711
Email: phil bredesen@state.tn.us

I also hand wrote Governor Phil Bredesen and also sent him copies of the pictures. Shame on each of those holding political office in TN.

This really needs to be directed at the two top people of your state their in Tenneessee and then down the chain to others. Patti

OK Baby Blessing: Somehow I missed the FIRST ADDRESS, doing it tonight as soon as I get in from work... Thanks for posting the link here, I have to learn how to do that, I can't even put a link in my text tho, ALL my teenagers are grown, so I don't leanr anything new anymore!! ok got my homework cut out for me tonight, even tho I e-mailed-and called. I will backtrack & do it in writing too. Extra duty on the one I missed:)

This Is Disgusting

This is disgusting!!! :mad:

Not only did I donate, but I am also praying long and hard that when these people, and other abusers as well, DIE and are before God on their JUDGEMENT DAY, that he send them DIRECTLY to HELL

They belong NO OTHER PLACE THAN THAT!!!!

I am sorry for being so blunt, but I can not understand how this goes on in the year 2006. I could never wish any human being any harm or wrong doing while they are here on earth, but I can certain wish for very HARD PUNISHMENT after they have been judge before God.
AND I DO!!!

I also wanted to say THANK YOU to all Rescue Workers and Volunteers and Hands On People. GREAT JOB, please keep it up!!!

:bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :good job: :good job: :good job: :clapsmile :clapsmile :clapsmile

I just recieved an email from this rescue asking me if a breeder had contacted me about some yorkies with the mange. I am sure this is the same dogs.

The Precious Paws rescue is in our area and her vet reference is GREAT!
The vet is a very trusted vet that we are happy with.

I am sorry to tell you that there IS NO ANIMAL CONTROL in our county and there is nothing that can be done. I myself, at our shelter this week took in 4 house dogs from a "breeder" that her family has come in to take care of her and is clearing out her dogs. They have been bred continuously but none of them have EVER been to the vet.
Please take a look at our petfinder site and look at the toenails on the chihuahua, is that a breeder?

There is no law in the county on how many animals you can have in your home. There is a HORRIBLE puppy mill just down the road from us. We are sending the info to the United States Humane SOciety to see if they can help us close him down.
There is a hoarder here that has over 200 suffering dogs and there is nothing we can do.
We gets calls daily on abuse/neglect.
We are thrilled just to be at the point that we have a shelter. Animal control is really far into the future.
I know it is hard to believe when you see photos and stories and someone tells you there is nothing we can do. Trust me, there are people here who have spent MONTHS trying to get something changed.
Our support group is trying now to find out what we can do.

You watch animal planet and see them bust in and take dogs frmo bad homes, and just pray that someday we can do something even close to that.

PLEASE give me a call at the shelter if you have ANY questions at all and I will ask her for details.
The vet did say that she does do ALL vetting needed for her pets. While we at the shelter have NO medical fund except for the cost of adoption that covers spay/neuter and rabies. Our support group has to pay for all shots and worming and any other minor thing we do. Any animal with a medical condition has to be put to sleep.
Unless we can get it out to a rescue group.
We do not even have a food budget in our county for the shelter. We depend on dontations of food alone to feed our animals.
But we ARE making a difference in our county and our shelter is a Godsend!

I too called Governor Bredesen and the other state and local officials about this problem. Hopefully with you guys calling as well we can be heard. Thanks to everyone that has called too.

THIS e-mail letter SHOULD also be sent to the governors office AND the state representative for that county... Once they all read this & letters from all over the US, I bet they do something:)

I am sending doggie licks from each and every one of these precious neglected ones to each of you that have taken the time to write and phone elected officials in the State of TN. on their behalf. They want your voices heard, Just look at their pictures and know that your helping to make a difference for them and for all other abused animals in the State of TN. in the future YOUR CALLS AND EMAILS AND LETTERS WILL DEFINATELY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
These pictures were taken from another post here in this thread, I hated to put them up here, it is so heartbreaking, but it will remind each of us that our phone calls and letters and emails are very important. Patti
To send a picture to one of the State Elected Officials right click onto the photo and save in your computer and send it to them in an email. It doesn't matter what State you live in to complain this is America. Thank God for the freedom to speak up.

NO WAY IT DOESN'T MATTER. I live in Michgan, the object is for the Tenn MAYOR GAVERNOR & State reps to hear from all over the US and maybe they will clean it up and stop disgracing Tenn... I wrote in my letter that I see ads and commercial to come visit Tenn for a vacation and asked them, Now why would I want to do that, I would get sick seeing this kind of stuff done to animals! send away New York, BTW where in NY? I was born raised in NY and go there every few months to take care of my senile Gramma who keeps yelling at me "Hey you, where are the cats?" lol she is a cutie and means well tho, once I say Gramma they are right there BUT they are not cats, they are doggies, she yells "Then put them in the yard where the dogs belong" I say Gramma no no, they are lap dogs, she then insists they MUST be cats afterall, look at them, they're cats! Anyway her house is in Queens NY where I grew up, sister is in Ronkonkoma, Long Island now, others scattered all over.

TLC	08-30-2006 05:53 PM

I am from NJ. I have been 'scattered' myself, all over Long Island for the past 10 years. I currently live with my husband and 2 furbabies (Roxy and TJ) in Brookhaven, right next to Bellport Village. (South Shore Eastern Long Island)

...small world :rolleyes:

Another thing I added in my letters was the fact the the Animal Shelter in Arkansas has a recording on it's phone and it says call the police if you suspect animal cruelity or neglect.... If Arkansas and 48 other states can deal with it, then why can't you TENN?

Patti

I will write letters also.
