PLEASE READ AND REPOST!!
The petition
I’m
contacting you today to inquire about getting your support regarding a
local cat sanctuary that got maliciously raided and now the loving and
caring site owner is facing over a dozen charges.
Her
name is Lin Marie, owner of 14 years and founder of Tiger Ranch Cat
Sanctuary, Tarentum Pa. It was her childhood dream to save cats from
unneeded euthanasia . She went to her mom for support and her mom
replied that she would need to do a lot to get there such as a lot of
schooling and to own a farm. Lin Marie achieved these thing that her
mom spoke of and opened Tiger Ranch.
Lin
Marie is a very religious women who strongly believes that this was her
"calling" and in Commandment 6 "Thow shalt not Kill." She also follows
this strongly when it comes to her NO KILL cat sanctuary. She takes in
cats that others don’t want or would kill because of a condition that
they have. She believes that the cats with such conditions should be
able to live out their lives to the fullest. The cats that are sick or
injured are given proper medication to ease their pain prescribed by a
certified veterinarian and made as comfortable as possible to live out
the rest of their lives at Tiger Ranch.
She strongly stands behind this as she stated to the media "you wouldn’t kill a sick human, would you?"
Tiger
Ranch provides low/no cost spaying and neutering to owners who are in
need of that assistance. Approximately 1000 spaying/neutering surgeries
are completed per year with the help of Lin/Tiger Ranch. Lin also takes
in over 1000 animals a year into her sanctuary and places around 8-900
of these animals into loving homes which are spayed/neutered before the
adoption occurs.
On March
13th, 2008, all of this changed with the PSPCA from Philadelphia
maliciously raided Tiger Ranch due to some undercover video that was
shot by a volunteer.
This
video shot was supposed to show deplorable conditions at Tiger Ranch.
The cats shot on the video were the ones that were in the medical
treatment room. There was cats shot with eye problems which to a normal
person would look as if the cat was sick or not being treated but in
turn was indeed being treated for Herpes. There was also a room that
was shot where the person said that the cats in that room were placed
in there and left to die. This room I speak of was the isolation room
which held the cats that were infectious and needed to be separated
from the rest of the cat population. There was also a deep freezer shot
with approx. 100 cat carcases inside. These deceased animals couldn’t
be buried due to not being checked by the vet for disease and/or winter
time (which the ground is frozen).
These
examples are just some of the conclusions that the PSPCA jumped to.
These animals were never in danger or in pain or even living in filth.
They were being given a 2nd and 3rd chance to live out their lives by a
loving and admirable women named Lin Marie. Not once did the video ever
show the good side of Tiger Ranch and/or Lin Marie.
Tiger
Ranch has had multiple outstanding inspections by regional groups
including the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society and Animal Friends.
These foundations were contacted regarding the alleged accusations but
refused to take action due to the report that Tiger Ranch had with
them. They knew that Tiger Ranch was legit and didn’t need
investigated. Lin Marie was very well known through out the community
for her compassion and strength to take on such a vigorous role in the
community. Lin Marie never did anything wrong in my eyes along with
many other supporters including Last Chance for Animals out of
California.
Once you get to
know her, you’ll know that she’s a caring, compassionate women deep
down that shouldn’t be facing these charges and as she says "Tiger
Ranch will rise like a phoenix from the ashes"
-IF YOU FEEL THAT
THIS HAS TOUCHED YOU OR YOU FEEL THAT LIN MARIE IS INNOCENT OF ALL
CHARGES PLEASE SIGN BELOW... AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
