1. Chance For Justice In St. Bernard Shootings?

=========================

ALERT FROM / REPLY TO:

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
NATIONAL REFERENDUM INVOLVING LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL
CALLS NEEDED FROM APRIL 21 TO APRIL 25, 2008

BACKGROUND:

Louisiana's newly elected Attorney General James Caldwell recently dismissed aggravated animal cruelty charges against St. Bernard Sheriff's Dept. officers, Sergeant Clifford "Chip" Englande and Deputy Mike Minton. In the shocking video recorded by award-winning Dallas Morning News photojournalist David Leeson, Minton was taped allegedly shooting animals in St. Bernard Parish streets...and confessing in a later interview. The images created a public outcry, and a grand jury convened by the office of former Attorney General Charles Foti handed down an indictment against the officers.

SECOND CHANCE FOR JUSTICE FOR GUNNED DOWN DOGS?

Humane Society of Louisiana reps have been in communication with former and current prosecuting attorneys who believe the evidence is strong enough to bring the matter to trial. We need local and nationwide animal defenders to participate in a "National Referendum" on the issue.

TAKE ACTION:

CALL: 225-326-6000 -- Louisiana Attorney General's office -- during the week of April 21 - 25 and ask others to do the same.

Tell Mr. Caldwell's office you are participating in the National Referendum on the St. Bernard pet shooting case and that you strongly oppose the decision to drop felony animal cruelty charges against Minton and Englande.

At the conclusion of the Referendum, Humane Society of Louisiana reps will deliver a wreath in remembrance of animals killed to Attorney General Caldwell's office and urge his office to bring the case to trial.

ADD YOUR NAME TO SYMPATHY CARD ON BEHALF OF SBP ANIMALS:

For a modest donation, your name can be included in a sympathy card for St. Bernard animals that will accompany the wreath. Please send donations to: Humane Society of Louisiana, P.O. Box 740321, New Orleans, LA 70174

Or donate on our PayPay account, www.Humanela.org
