Seattle Humane Society employees speak out!!

KCACC Officer's Guild Press Release:

Here is a sample:

The SHS with around 70 staff has had over 60 employees turnover in the last 18 months, this is over 75%! Staff fears this high rate of attrition is not just the nature of the job, but from a complete lack of attention to training, employee retention and morale by management leading to a lack of continuity in care for the animals.

This is no surprise so those who know and have read about the so called "No Kill" movement. If Barnette get's a hold of Sheltering for the County through the Council this will be only the beginning of the nightmare that tax payers will pay for!!

Recently, this broke in the news about her transfer of Kern County animal's.

KCACC Officer's Guild Speak's bite's back!!

ACOG Response to KCACC Whistleblower Letter

Here's a sample:

Coming full circle, back to Brenda Barnette and the Seattle Humane Society, let’s recap: She sat on the KCACC Citizen’s Advisory Committee and came out with a scathing report defaming KCACC employees. She is a Co-Director of the Coalition for No-kill King County also with a seat on the Citizen’s Advisory Committee. She worked with Nathan Winograd who worked with her and Claire Davis and came out with another scathing report attacking the KCACC employees. Are you getting the pattern?

This is only a sample of this awesome rebuttal to the so called whistle blower letter published by the Kent Reporter. Funny how it was only the Kent Reporter and not all the other media outlets who published this non sense!!

Here is the original Kent Reporter article:

Time to Expose KCACCExposed!!

KCACCExposed is s Anti-KCACC Group of two people namely Kim Sgro and Claire Davis. On this blog and from a post of their's on Mr. Bruce Cordell's blog whose wife is a former volunteer coordinator.

The accusation is that the Manager Nancy McKenney is overpaid. But it's not her in particular it's the salary given to her for the job she perform's. Which is Managing King County Animal Care & Control.

Here is a quote from KCACC Exposed on Mr. Cordell's Blog:
"The former shelter manager, who was promoted despite the findings made by Nathan Winograd AND UC Davis, made $85,500 in 2007. Most non-profits pay that or less for their CEO/Executive Director."

Now a quick look to KCACCExposed favorite local shelter CEO/Executive Director at the Seattle Humane Society she make's well I'll just put it up from the Better Business Bureau:

Chief Executive Officer: Brenda F. Barnette
CEO Compensation: $120,000.00!!!

So look's like KCACCExposed has to get their math right. Plus McKenney Manage's a Shelter that take's in double the amount of animal's a year and oversee's Animal Control Officer's something that Mrs. Barnette does not.

But it get's better Claire Davis used to work for Best Friends Animal Society a No-Kill Shelter. Here is the Better Business Bureau for them.

Their CEO:
Chief Executive : Paul Berry, CEO
Compensation*: $101,248!!!

Claire Davis I will give this one to you. Her other place of work possibly volunteer work is Alley Cat Allies their CEO Salary as listed by the Better Business Bureau is:

Chief Executive : Donna M. Wilcox, Executive Director
Compensation*: $82,360!!!

Her partner Kim Sgro worked for Pasado's Safe Haven as a Executive Director but Salary for this position is not listed.

Well KCACCExposed it appears that the non-profits listed above Pay "That plus more sometimes way more".

So if KCACCExposed get's their way and King County turns into a spectacular example of "No-Kill Shelter" will the new CEO's get paid more for doing less? I mean it's all about the Animal's right?

Keep Private Shelter's "Private"!

Keep Animal Control "Public" and "Open Admission"!!

Save KCACC from turning into a No-Kill Disaster like the SF/SPCA!!

Sign the Petition!! Contact your Local City and King County Government and demand accountability from the Upper Management(KC Council) who failed You!!

Seattle Humane vote's to unionize!

According to KCACCExposed an Anti-KCACC Group Blog. The Seattle Humane Society employees by a narrow margin of one vote have chosen to seek representation by the ACOG(Animal Control Officer's Guild).

I'm personally 50/50 when it comes to Unions but I believe this is an excellent move on the part of Seattle Humane employees and hope it stick's. The Seattle Humane will be represented by the ACOG but have their own selected staff dealing with issues related to their work environment.

ACOG President Sgt. John Diel made his petition known through his blog KCAnimalControl on August 13th 2009.

I think this will work out for the best. It's apparent President Brenda Barnette may be a capable business manager but with recent event's revealing a laps in legal and ethical judgment. Due to the illegal transfer of Kern County animal's to her shelter. The employees should be protected legally against the legal repercussions of poor management.

World's Best Cat Litter

Is the really the World's Best!

Never thought I would say I actually enjoy cleaning out the cat's litter box. But now I do. After using Pine which was ok. I had major problems with urine clumping up in the front of the box and the small was like ammonia!!

WBCL use's corn which is safe for cat's to digest when they clean. The best part is that when using a cat scooper the corn litter fall's through the scooper much quicker due to it's small size.

The major benefit is how the corn litter wraps around urine and feces. Specifically urine due to it being a naturally wet substance will not leak around the box. The corn litter clumps up the litter into a small clump instead of spreading all over the front of the box.

This also help's with the odor issue I had. That is now gone!

I would Highly Recommend this product!!

Response to Fox Business

Today I watched an interview Fox Business news anchors Jenna Lee and Darrell Delamaide had with Congressman Walter Jones regarding HR. 1207. I was a little put off by the reaction of anchor Jenna Lee and decided to send feedback to her via email. Below is my email. If I get a response I will post it.

Here is the LINK to the interview.



Mrs. Jenna Lee,
Please forgive me if I mistook you for another host. I saw through the Campaign for Liberty website an interview done on 05/19/2009 with Walter Jones a Congressman who is supporting Dr. Ron Paul's bill HR. 1207. You had posed to him that he should be creating Jobs or fixing the Housing Crisis as opposed to seeking transparency with the Federal Reserve. I know you also had a concern over tax payer money being used for the Audit. Now I do not know what the costs would be to do this Audit but surely they don't amount to the billions and trillions of our tax payer money being pumped into bankrupt banks and auto companies? Now unless I'm incorrect when I state this but the Federal Reserve is in charge of manufacturing and monitoring the Currency of the United States? I will take this as fact until corrected if a correction is necessary. Then if this Federal Reserve System without any oversight devalues our currency do to poor monetary practice and no accountability how will any American be able to purchase a home with U.S. Currency let alone find the value in working and earning hourly wage of a currency that has no value?

Now to the subject you mentioned earlier about the Government creating Jobs and the Housing Crisis. Where in the United States Constitution does it state that it is the task of the United States Government to do these very things? Is it not the reason we are in such a crisis due to Government interference? Do we want to live in a Socialized country and have the Government regulate our so called Free Market? In order for the United States Government to positively affect Job creation and Housing devaluation. The Government needs to pull out of regulating and over taxing the Market. Let the Market restore itself. I would urge you and your colleagues to support Dr. Ron Paul and the 165+ Co-Sponsors in Auditing the Federal Reserve and Lord Willing bring stability and restored value to our currency!

Thank you for your time,
Respectfully,
Nathan Brandal

Iran's Upcoming Presidential Election's

Here is an interesting article posted on Lew Rockwell's site. I don't know a whole lot about Iran. Most I have heard is from the 'MSM' that Iran is pure evil and must be destroyed. Read this!

Does Obama Want 'Hitler' To Win Reelection?

Article was written by William Wedin, Ph.D.

This little tidbit really caught my eye:

Had Obama made friendlier signs sooner, former President Mohammed Khatami might not have dropped out of the race. And just who is Khatami? As seen below, he is a pro-women’s rights, pro-Christian rights, pro-Jewish rights reformer, who sought greater personal freedom for his fellow Iranians at home and greater cooperation with the West abroad during his two terms as President of Iran from 1997 to 2005, when he was succeeded by Ahmadinejad.

Law Enforcement Appreciation Day!

Is this really necessary? I know have not been to church in awhile. But this is ridiculous. I never cared for having the American Flag in church. Were here to Worship Jesus Christ in church not honor the State!!
