Craig Smith takes a shot at feral cats and coyotes while aiming at Wendy McCuckoo: "When you throw in the Teamsters, the SEIU, a few bloggers and everyone who's not a coyote loving feral cat coddling vegan, the list of News-Press enemies will soon outnumber the people who actually subscribe to the paper."listen up Smith, leave the coyotes out of it..Wendy and her friends are fakes and not animal lovers, coyotes and cats got more class that she does...and these people, posing as animal lovers, kill their dogs!!
Richmond, Va. -- Richmond SPCA Chief Executive Officer Robin Starr was formally elected to the Board of Directors of the National Federation of Humane Societies (NFHS) yesterday.
Wayne Pacelle, President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), is a fellow Board member.
The Richmond SPCA is a no-kill humane society dedicated to the principle that every life is precious. The non-profit organization finds homes for more than 3,000 homeless animals each year. As a national leader in humane care and education, the Richmond SPCA is aggressively tackling the problem of pet overpopulation through education, adoption, rehabilitation and sterilization.
oh really?? well, Ms. Starr just killed her dog..she left the poor pooch in the car in hot weather with the windows up and turned him into a hot diggety dog!
RICHMOND - CBS 6 has learned that a dog belonging to the CEO of Richmond's SPCA, Robin Starr, died after being left in a hot car for four hours. The incident happened Wednesday, August 19.According to the SPCA the dog was 16 years old and named Louie. They say Louie often rode with Starr to the SPCA offices but on the morning of the 19th, Starr's husband Ed says he put the dog in the rear of the vehicle and intended to tell his wife, but forgot.Starr says she drove to work and didn't notice Louie was in the vehicle until lunchtime, when temperatures had reached 91 degrees. The dog was in heat stroke and rushed inside where SPCA veterinarians started to treat Louie. According to the news release from the SPCA, he was later transported to a second clinic where died that night.The experience of losing her favorite dog after accidentally leaving it in a hot car for four hours will strengthen the credibility of the Richmond SPCA's leader, say those who work closely with her.
A 16-year-old dog belonging to Robin Starr, the SPCA's chief executive officer and one of the area's most outspoken advocates for animals, died last Wednesday.
Anne Grier, chairwoman of the Richmond SPCA board of directors, said she believes the dog's death will boost Starr's position as an animal advocate. (like Travis' drunk driving boosted his stature as a writer!)
"I think it enhances her ability to communicate and educate the public about humane issues. I think that if this can happen to her, it can happen to any of us," Grier said.
"We're all human beings. For her to speak from experience -- I know this has been extremely painful to her -- I think gives her more credibility."
However, some in the community say Starr should step down from her position. An article about the situation had drawn about 220 comments, more critical of Starr than supportive, on TimesDispatch.com by late last night.
"She doesn't have as much credibility anymore. . . . She can't stand up for animals in the way that she used to," said Henrico County resident and self-proclaimed dog lover Lamont Johnson.
