My Mission

Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent


Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

For the Love of the Dog is my small effort to do that. Please, won't you help me!

Animal Cruelty Sentence Violations, Or, Next on Saturday Night Live!

Justice, the administering of deserved punishment or reward, has a new meaning these days.  It’s fodder for situation comedies and comic routines.  Here is a small collection that could very well be Jay Leno’s next monologue.

kilby_airFaith Kilby

Faith Kilby is a victim.  She is a victim of an Alien Abduction that resulted in her brains being sucked out.  In 2006, police officers found the remains of Kilby’s 10-year-old dog, Bear, decomposing in her backyard.  She was found guilty of Animal Cruelty in 2007 and her sentence was probation with 90 days in jail suspended, repay $290 restitution to cover the costs of the necropsy and disposal of Bear, get psychological counseling, and no animals during her probation period.

Last year she failed to comply with the terms of her probation and was sentenced to 45 days in jail.  She failed to get counseling, did not repay restitution and was found owning animals again.  Two dogs, a turtle and a chinchilla.

She still didn’t get it.  Her brains must be still sitting in some bleaker in a space ship taking a tour of the Galaxy.

After her release from her 45 day jail term, she failed to meet with her probation officer.  The judge had no choice but to send her back to jail for the remainder 45 days.  She was escorted straight to jail from the court room by a deputy.

It’s obvious the aliens will not be returning her brains anytime soon.

narvarez_airPhilip Narvaez

Convicted in March 2009 of Animal Cruelty for a badly neglected and abused dog.  In August 2007, his dog was found along side a road. The dog’s right hind leg was mangled with nearly two inches of bone exposed and her foot had rotted and turned black so the leg had to be amputated.

He got quite the sweet deal from the state of New Mexico.  He was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and 364 days of unsupervised probation in lieu of 364 days in jail.  His fine of $1,000 was lowered to $300, and he was ordered to get mental health counseling.

He couldn’t even do that.

He repeatedly failed to prove to the court that he was attending counseling.  He even failed to show up at a hearing regarding his violation and the courts had to issue a bench warrant to gain his attention.  The judge said “I am not going to go lightly, this is a blatant violation”, and gave Navarez a whopping 5 days in jail.  That’s not a typo.  FIVE days in jail.

Now it looks like aliens have infiltrated even our highest form of government.

chantrak_amyAmy Chantarak

Amy Chantarak is a student at the University of South Florida and should have appeared in Pink’s music video “Stupid Girls”.

She left her dog, Mr. Snuggles, in a hot car while she attended a grand opening of IKEA.  She was found guilty of Animal Cruelty and received a year of probation and 50 hours of community service.  She was also ordered to pay $400 in restitution charges to Animal Services who cared for the dog.  Wanna bet she’s just a bright as the former two and winds up in front of the judge real soon?  Here’s why:

She just didn’t think it important enough to attend her court appearances.  She missed her arraignment and a warrant was issued for her arrest.  She showed up an hour late because she had “a job interview”.  The warrant was rescinded.

Not the first time.  Chantarak was cited with animal cruelty in December 2007 after leaving a Chihuahua in her car overnight.  She missed that court hearing and later told investigators the dog was run over. That case is still pending.

What’s going to be her excuse for not abiding by her probation terms?  She had an exam for Glitter Graphics 101?

Why are the courts just as lenient on violation probation and repeat offenders as the original sentences?  Give ‘em these finger shaking, slap on the wrist, pitiful little token sentences and of course these freaks are going to do whatever they want.   With the exception of Kilby, they’ll reappear in court, get a lecture from the judge, and be sent off again with no sense of accountability.

Great material here for stand up.

******************************

Thanks Andrea, looks like just more of the same, no justice for the abused, slap on the wrist, oh, excuse me, you had it right, more of a finger shaking, for the abusers.  Is it any wonder they never learn?   We see it again and again…  Truly, if it weren’t so sad and pathetic it might just be funny.  :(

    It certainly is sad and pathetic. Just when will the abusers be held accountable for their crimes???? These judges need to be replaced with “real” people with real values and morals!

  • Susie

    They should have rescue people and animal advocates at these hearings, and let the people who are involved with animal rescue/speaking for the animals make the decisions in their sentencing. Apparently our judges just don’t give a damn.

    • No, they don’t. They consistently allow plea deals and sentence below the allowable limit. They don’t want their court room overloaded with appeals, yet, they get overloaded with these idiots violating probation and repeat offending.

      Starting with the next Justice Round-Up (after the one I just submitted), I am going to include the judge’s names and link to the government websites where they are listed. Hopefully people in their jurisdiction will take notice and start giving hell.

      I mean, we can shame all these offenders until hell freezes over. They don’t a flying hockey puck. Maybe the judges will care what’s being said about them. Let’s see.

  • Monica

    I’m not sure how many states or counties have this law, but Los Angeles treats their police dogs just like officers. If you hurt or kill one you will punished to the same extent as if you harmed or killed a human being. It may extend to service dogs (like seeing eye dogs) also but I’m not sure. Thank God for that but what makes these judges think that it’s a lessor crime to torture and kill a dog that wasn’t so lucky as to be chosen for fighting crime. Obviously they’re thinking of the cost and time that went into their training and that they are more valuable. We need to change our laws for the sake of all animals.

  • Terry

    Very stupid people in deed , no wonder #3 idiot did the video .We need a visit from Rescue Inc don’t we , off camera even better

  • Lisa K

    Right on Terry!! Yes, Rescue Ink!!! Bring it!!! Those guys have stole my heart! I remember when they were just starting out. They were at a MC rally that we attended Bikers against Animal Cruelty. Now they have their own show on Nat Geo Channel: Rescue Ink Unleashed Friday nites at 10:00 PM.
    P S. Andrea: Very good idea to get some particulars on these pathetic excuses for Judges. That way we can get the word out loud and clear that we will not tolerate their laziness, schleppiness and uncaring ways.

  • Tuff's Pal

    Am I the only one that’s noticed that the people who do this kinda thing to dogs usually look like they’re a couple Jacks shy of a deck?

    I’m just sayin’…

  • Lisa K

    Yes, Tuff’s Pal: You are spot on. Pathetic wastes of human flesh. See Also: POS (plural)

  • Lynne

    It is a sad commentary on society that animal cruelty is essentially considered a minor crime, as evidenced by these pathetic sentences handed down by obviously insensitive judges. Torturing animals is a clear sign of sociopathy, making these losers a burden on society…they can’t be cured. And, they certainly won’t learn anything from a ridiculous slap on the wrist. What they will do is continue to be brutal, cruel worthless scumbags…venting their rage and stupdity by torturing/killing animals, and soon, they will graduate to doing the same to other human beings. They simply have no conscience, and in my opinion, serve no purpose on this earth. Perhaps if they met the same fate as the animals they have horrifically abused…that seems like more apropriate justice to me.

  • Jessie

    Yea Lynne…I’m with you! There is NO changing these worthless POS’s taking up room and breathing space we have so little of anymore. I still believe…..and I strongly wish this was a possibility……we should take these inhuman (yes, they are not true humans, not animals, just breathing, living, cruel, things), and put them in laboratories, to be studied, and test all these horrible things they test on rabbits, beagles, and other beautiful, innocent, creatures of God. These other things, that INSIST on using cruelty as a way to go through life, are NOT God’s creatures! These come directly from the devil himself! They are useless, waste’s…..nothing else. I would love to see them put in cages, and brought out on a daily basis, to test all those products on…..in their eyes, their blood streams, their skin…you name it. Why continue to hurt these presious animals, when we have perfectly healthy, humans that aren’t worth the powder to blow them to hell, to test these products on? I could care a less, how much they scream in pain (right now, it’s God’s precious creatures, screaming). It’s a fabulous idea!!!! I wish I could make this happen….I really do.

  • Barbara S

    Rescue Ink need locations all over the US. What the law won’t do these guys can and will do.I am sure there many of us who would love to be part of their organization.
