-----Original Message----- Everyone, The column has officially been printed and the offensive against this BSL Bandit is in full force. http://www.parkerchronicle.com/site/tab8.cfm? newsid=16998211&BRD=2713&PAG=461&dept_id=560211&rfi=6 Please spread the word if you would. The faster this man is outted, the less chance he has of making your local city council a PeTA co- op. Nick ----------------------------------------------------------- "Take a bite out of 'Dr. Death'" by Nick Van Duren Parker Chronicle, August 3, 2006 http://www.parkerchronicle.com/site/tab8.cfm? newsid=16998211&BRD=2713&PAG=461&dept_id=560211&rfi=6 Sheriff Weaver claims in his letter to the Parker Chronicle that we deserve "no hidden agendas or a scandalous past..." Then voters should take note of one particular endorser of Sheriff Weaver and other local Republican candidates. The Douglas County Republican Party has a militant animal rightist "mole" within its ranks: Kory Nelson, Denver Assistant District Attorney, known all over the country and Internet as the "Dr. Death of Dogs". As a Republican, I'm steamin' mad! To have Republican candidates endorsed by such a militant should frighten everyone down to the core. Nelson's activist record is incompatible with conservative ideals and negates any repute he may have earned within our party. There is absolutely no moral justification for allowing Nelson to have a position as a precinct captain or accepting and publishing his political endorsement. Republican candidates should sever all ties with this militant animal rights operative. In addition to extensive lobbying by PeTA, HSUS, and other militant organizations, Nelson's influence explains why residents throughout Colorado and the rest of the country have recently begun to experience an all-out assault on their dog rights. Dangerous dog ordinances, mandatory spay/neuter, and the infamous Kory Nelson trademark: Breed Specific Legislation (BSL), pose a menacing threat to our beloved family pets. For example, Kory Nelson lobbies lawmakers with materials full of deceitful and manipulative animal rights propaganda. What's more, Nelson's proclamation that: "Anybody who shoots a pit bull running loose is justified,'' (San Francisco Chronicle, Monday, June 27, 2005) proves that this man lacks ethics crucial to carrying out his duties in the public interest. Why would Douglas County Republicans harbor such an activist in their ranks; or listen to him for that matter? Furthermore, Kory Nelson's position in Denver has influenced and promoted an outright abuse of power and authority, simply because the so-called Pit Bull was not the right kind of dog for Nelson and his allies. In only the last year, Denver has garnered well over 1,000 kills to its credit. That's not including other communities around the U.S. that have accepted Nelson`s offer of assistance. Ironically, his murderous campaign was not always against the so- called "Pit Bull". The poster-child of his dog bans used to be the Chow Chow. Eliminating one-breed-at-a-time is what Breed Specific Legislation is all about. The agenda is shrewd but clever. First, BSL threatens a community. Once dog-lovers fight it, local governments backtrack; but feel as if they must adopt several other ordinances in its place. Now animal rightists gain a foothold. They've been given an inch. Now they're going for the jugular. The legal process is now infected by this virus, sabotaged under animal rights' language, mandatory spay/neuter, licensing, breeder registrations schemes, etc...the list goes on and on. Animal control ethics quickly become compromised, meaning that owning dogs, cats, and other pets becomes harder and harder in your community. The resulting scandal, corruption, and outright slaughter of innocent dogs around the country is sickening and growing at an alarming rate. Rather than being education-minded and only governing according to nuisance and cruelty situations, intrusive pet laws effectively destroy an open and active pet-friendly community. It's no wonder that animal education and socialization has become such a problem. And this is exactly what animal rightists are banking on. With Kory Nelson's help, these groups are furthering their vision of eliminating domestic animal ownership. It's hard to comprehend, but they've infected our laws, our culture, are effectively destroying the integrity of animal services, and even tainting animal shelter ethics. However, despite Nelson's efforts to convince lawmakers otherwise, animal lovers are mobilizing fast, gaining influence, fighting back against legislators who allow themselves to be under the thumb of these extremists. We're here to help, but mess with our beloved pets and all bets are off. We're taking names, tracking elections, and working hard to undo the damage of political correctness and ignorance. In addition, the Dog Fancy and show-breeders alike are here to perform a public service to everyone by helping educate the community. We're an asset and the best source for animal education. We're willing to teach people how to approach dogs, raise healthier well-trained pets, where to buy quality puppies, etc. Candidates that side with the animal rights agenda take note. We're mainstream. The agenda of PeTA, the Animal Liberation Front, and other militant organizations is not. Kory Nelson is not. Now is the time to decide who's side you're going to be on. Conservative values have nothing in common with animal rightist ideology or individual promoters of this hateful agenda. Finally, being a responsible voter means understanding the background of those who endorse your candidates. Would you prefer that animals be treated with brutality and your rights restricted under our laws, or should our pets be loved and respected? Vote for candidates under Nelson's sphere of influence and rest assured that lawmakers will enact and vote for irresponsible legislation. Direct or indirect, they're assisting a destructive and very real and pathological evil. Therefore, it is absolutely crucial that we avoid this threat so the future of our family pets actually has a future.
