As a long-time volunteer and animal advocate, I can't stand rescues and leaders that don't actually advocate for animals. Everyone should know that Donna, the director of Bad Rap, an Oakland advocacy group I have supported for years, spends time actively defending backyard breeders who don't spay and neuter. In addition, she defends the use of punitive tools such as prong collars and believes the deadly Iditarod is justifiable. This isn't someone who should be in charge of any animal organization, yet we see this all the time in animal rescue. Despite some of the great work this organization has done, in my experience, leaders like this are a clear indication that an organization is not a good one to support. May each animal in the care of this person/group be wrapped in gentle protection and kindness.
Two refugees from Spindletop arrived at BAD RAP August 21, 2012. The dogs have disappeared. BAD RAP refuses to give any information about these two dogs who survived a nightmare only to disappear. As a group which rakes in almost a half million dollars a year in public donation money, this group owes an explanation to the public about these two dogs. Where are they?
