Hello all,
Just a reminder, if you haven't seen last night's story on Brushy Creek, you can see it here:
http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/pa...Y&pageId=3.1.1

I have not had a chance to read all the posts today but I want to pass along some information some of you may be wondering about. If we interviewed you (like woofshepherd), then you will be in our next story that could air within a week or two.

Since last night's story aired, we are being bombarded with calls and emails from more people who want to tell us about a bad experience with Brushy Creek. Frankly, I've been doing this for a long time and I've never seen so many people who want to go on the record to complain about a business. Not even from large corporations that have millions of customers like Exxon, General Electric or utility companies or the postal service. Who would think that such a response could come from just one little business in Hockley, Texas? Amazing.

Our next report will deal more on the emotional and financial toll on some of Brushy Creek's customers. We may or may not have time to include comments from law enforcement, district attorney's office and Humane Society. Part three of our report could come sooner rather than later.

Also, I did see a post by Dobiedude from early today or yesterday that was on the money (I know some of you might find it hard to believe). He ventured to guess that last night's story was short and limited in scope because we just wanted to get the story on the air before anyone else. That's pretty much correct. We know of at least two other media outlets working on this story. We wanted to put something on the air as soon as possible to claim the story as ours. That way our marketing people can use phrases such as "first on fox." We knew that the portion of our story involving the civil case was thoroughly researched, documented and ready for air. I don't mind competition at all but we like to be first in this business.

Lastly, I would like to ask a favor of everyone reading this. If you enjoyed the story OR if you hated the story OR if you want to see more stories on Brushy Creek Kennel, please contact our station by email on our website. Here is what you can do:
>Go to our website at www.myfoxhouston.com
>Click on the "about us" tab near the top of the page.
>Click on "contact us" along the left side of the page
>Type a short or long message and send

Our audience has a huge impact on what we cover so any feedback is appreciated. Thanks to everyone for the help and more updates to come!

David

I'll be adding feedback because what you did IS amazing ...Thank you all so much for airing this story and taking the time to even listen to what's been a long ongoing problem for dogs and people alike.

but how sad on the many emails and phone calls - it's worse than I even thought at Brushy Creek Kennels....I had no idea there would be this kind of reaction but all I can say is WAY TO GO FOX NEWS ! It may go National but this is YOUR story and you deserve all the credit.

Direct link to Randy's story from last night seems to have some trouble at times (sending messages still works as described above), so you can try this instead:

>Go to www.myfoxhouston.com
>Click on the "news" tab
>On the right side of the page, under "only on fox," click on "Randy Wallace, Fox 26 Investigates"
>You will find a list of Randy's stories that can be played on that page. The most recent items are at the top of the list

CO_yorkie_momma · 02-06-2007, 12:02 PM

David,
Have you found out if Inside Edition is doing their story tonight or Thursday night?

David ....I just left you feedback and included you, Randy Wallace & the FOX News team.

You've been so great about all this - the report - posting the updates - the links etc & exposing what seems to be a worse problem than originally thought ......

I just want to say again how proud of you I am for bringing this to the attention of Houston and surrounding areas - and now the whole country with your investigation. YOU should be proud of yourself for what you've done for the future of countless dogs.

So....Thank you again ...and, if they could -Dogs everywhere would be thanking you too

red98vett · 02-06-2007, 12:13 PM

ps David ...I really wanted my feedback to read DAVID DESERVES A BIG RAISE lol - but I was serious in what I said in my feedback. You have been just awesome and I hope your higher ups realize that these are the kinds of stories that people really DO care about.

JCarlson2004 · 02-06-2007, 12:17 PM

Wow, that's awesome!! Way to go Daivd and FOX NEWS!!

Fox26News · 02-06-2007, 12:18 PM

"Inside Edition" has officially moved their story on Brushy Creek to Thursday but you might keep checking their website for updates. Thanks Villette for the kind words! I appreciate it very much.

Did you also hear that the vet stated the animal had been brought in the week before by another person it had been sold to? Again, as I stated in a previous post, you are simply being contentious. It wouldn't matter what was presented, you would try to find some way to invalidate it. Admit it...you just like to argue and you have found the perfect place for it because these folks feel so deeply about what is being investigated. If David Moore himself admitted all was true, you would seek a way to invalidate his statements as well.

You just aren't the type of person who can readily admit that they have been proven wrong, as you have. You would rather keep the argument going so that you can continue to derive the pleasure you find in being argumentative.

Rescues have to do the same thing, hire outside help. but think of all the lives they are saving. That's why rescues try to use as many foster homes as they can. Knowing that each animal deserves one on one attention and love. No amount of money can buy that.

Great Post

I Love Bailey · 02-06-2007, 12:25 PM

I watched report online and left feedback! Thank you so much for bringing this heartbreaking topic to the general public. I really hope it educates people to start questioning where their puppies and kittens are coming from. I will be watching for upcoming reports!

Thanks again!

midnightmist · 02-06-2007, 12:51 PM

Still reading and watching over here.The reaction to the Fox report is great.The additional information can only help.Well done to every one for all the work you have done to help those poor dogs and puppies.

Boodad · 02-06-2007, 12:56 PM

Well since Brushy Creek lost 1 lets see how many more people come out to sue. Could be a class suit by end.

woofshepherd · 02-06-2007, 12:57 PM
