This is being posted at the request of Linda Kury. Is there someone who is in the area, or who has contacts with the Suffolk County NY Police and/or Canine Unit who can investigate ?

If this is true it is an outrage. I'm sending it to the parent club as well. Thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: JJMcConnel@xxxxxxx To: Lindakury@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 5:55 PM Subject: K-9 German shepard to be auctioned The Suffolk County Police of New York are going to auction off one of their German Shepard as "surplus property" because Chief can no longer perform his job. An article was written about Chief in the Friday edition of Newsday. Chief is a 61/2 year old German Shepard that the Suffolk Police no longer want and he will be sold at a public auction to the highest bidder with no consideration as to the type home he will go to. In speaking to various county officials, no thought of him as a loving, caring and feeling animal, but simply as surplus pproperty to be sold. the person in charge of the auction is Charles Bartha, Suffolk Commissioner of the Department of Public works, 631-852-4010, fax 631-852-4165. Thank you for any help you can give. Johan McConnell 76 Gerard Road Yaphank, NY 631-205-9452 ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
