“Save Spork “ I received an email last week with a link that you were suppose to click ://www.ipetitions.com/petition/savespork/ . Spork , a 10 year old miniature Dachshund was taken to Lafayette’s Jasper Ani
mal Hospital to have a bad tooth extracted. Spork is now up on “vicious animal charges” for biting a veterinarian technician. The owner said that dog was just in pain and scared, and so far the family has spent over $6000 on fees involved with the ticket. The courts will be reviewing the case in April 2010 and will decide if the dog should be euthanized or not.
Thousands of people are rallying around Spork and some are not. Today, in the local Boulder Camera paper, someone made a funny comment on the story about Spork and said “the moral of the story is to never trust a dog named after a sharp eating utensil” !
The “Save Spork” Facebook page has drawn more than 9,000 members, blog posts, mainly in support of Spork, also are proliferating. Click here for more information on pet ownershipo vs pet guardianship and other animal law issues in Colorado.
