Compare this tragic story of the starvation of three precious dogs to the starvation of Terri Schaivo. Why is the starvation of dogs worthy of felony charges but the starvation of human beings worthy of adulation (in the eyes of some)?

George Felos also recast Terri Schiavo's dehydration murder in an uplifting light:

"She is calm, she is peaceful, she is resting comfortably. ... Her lips are not chapped, they're not bleeding. Her skin's not peeling. Frankly when I saw her ... she looked beautiful. In all the years I've seen Mrs. Schiavo, I've never seen such a look of peace and beauty upon her."

(Terri's Brother: Felos in Love With Death)

"I saw no evidence of any bodily discomfort whatsoever," said George Felos, the attorney of Michael Schiavo, after visiting the hospice Monday.

URGENT: ABUSED LABS


To Whom it May Concern:


Please find below (and attached) a letter which I have drafted to request that the DA of Worcester County impose the maximum sentence on the 2 individuals who starved, abused, and neglected their 2 Labrador Retrievers and one mixed breed dog in Lunenburg, MA.

If you are not familiar with the case, you can go to: www.mspca.org/tiny to see the horrible pictures of the condition of the dogs once they were seized from their "home" such as it was. One Lab was almost 50% underweight! Both Labs were chained outside, and left to languish and die.

I ask you to please distribute this letter to your friends, family, patrons and donors with the hopes that they will sign the letter and forward to the District Attorney. His information follows:

DA John Conte c/o Elizabeth.Stammo@... (@state.ma.us)
or by fax at: 508- 831- 9899 or: by phone at: 508- 755- 8601.

If it is easier, you may also forward this email and simply ask people to respond directly to me at the email address above with the words "I agree" and their name and address and I will include their electronic signature in my master letter. To date, I have 76 signatures but need many many more supporters in order for the casue to have a maximum effect.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Your support is greatly appreciated. I would ask that you also respond to this email and let me know if I can count on your support!

The Honorable John J. Conte
Worcester County District Attorney
Courthouse Room 220
2 Main Street
Worcester, MA 01608


Dear Mr. Conte:

This letter concerns a recent case of cruelty to animals that your office is handling, involving Linda McMasters and Jennifer Cormier of Lunenburg, MA. Both face felony charges stemming from the recent discovery of their severely neglected and malnourished 3 dogs, 2 of which were chained behind their Lunenburg home and one left in the basement. All three were left to languish and die. According to news sources, a yellow Labrador dog seized from the home weighed only 33 pounds, nearly 50 pounds below its normal weight.

To deny animals food and allow them to slowly waste away and suffer is horrifically cruel. Mental health professionals and top law enforcement officials consider the blatant disregard for life and desensitization to suffering evidenced by all forms of cruelty to animals to be a red flag. Experts agree that it is the severity of the behavior—not the species of the victim—that matters.

Too often, people who are convicted of crimes against animals walk out of court with a slap on the wrist. On behalf of those whose name and address are listed below, I respectfully ask and urge you, Mr. Conte, to make sure that, if the defendants are convicted, the maximum sentence be imposed as allowed by Massachusetts State Law.

We as citizens, taxpayers and voters have voted to enact certain laws regarding cruelty to animals and we expect that, due to the vile nature of this crime and the apparent prolonged and utter disregard for the lives and suffering of animals in their custody, those laws be enforced, the maximum sentence and penalties be imposed, and the defendants be incarcerated.

Thank you for your diligence in this matter and for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
--
