๐Ÿšจ JUST IN: Austin Metcalf's father delivered a VERY POWERFUL message straight to his son's murderer, Karmelo Anthony, after the 35-year prison sentence "You can't look me in the EYES but you can STAB my f*cking SON!" "You're going to prison. I forgave you the day it happened. I DON'T forgive what you did." "This was never about race. It is about right and wrong. My son's death destroyed the person I used to be. He does not exist anymore." โ€” Jeff Metcalf Powerful and heartbreaking ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Do not euthanize Snuggles Why is the dog being punished? This is terrorizing for the pet and the children. Can't an appellate lawyer represent pro bono? This is ridiculous! #SaveSnuggles
Lucy is home - Can we save Snuggles from being euthanized? Please, sign the petition & retweet for Snuggles.

A few facts about the Karmelo Anthony case: โ€ข He declined a bench trial. โ€ข His family chose a white attorney. โ€ข Black jurors were struck after admitting potential bias. โ€ข The jury was not all white. Facts matter

Replying to @RippleXrpie
It needs 60 votes to pass. The motion failed. They have to nuke the filibuster for 51 votes to pass.

We still need to #SaveSnuggles Let's work to get him home!
This is Sergeant Snuggles. Heโ€™s a young Anatolian Shepherd from a family in Tucson. For almost eight months now heโ€™s been locked up at Pima Animal Care Center, facing euthanasia over one bite on their own property. It happened when he was stressed out and a family member startled him from behind. The grandma who got nipped says it was her fault, sheโ€™s not pressing anything, and she wants him home with the kids who miss him like crazy. The family has a big fenced property and theyโ€™re ready to follow every rule - training, muzzle, whatever it takes. Snuggles is a guardian dog doing what the breed does. Heโ€™s not some vicious animal. Videos show heโ€™s sweet with people. But the shelter and courts are pushing to put him down anyway. This hits different when you see the little boys waiting for their dog. If you can, share this or call the folks in charge and ask them to let the family take him back under dangerous dog rules. Big thanks to @jenniferevn22 for fighting so hard for him. #SaveSnuggles x.com/LoneStarChica/status/2โ€ฆ

๐ŸšจSnuggles Needs Our Help!๐Ÿšจ ๐ŸฉทWrite Your Email Today!๐Ÿฉท prosecutor@tucsonaz.gov alan.merritt@tucsonaz.gov Mari.Worman@tucsonaz.gov chad.kasmar@pima.gov steve.kozachik@pima.gov Carmine.DeBonis@pima.gov steve.holmes@pima.gov Mayor.Romero@tucsonaz.gov Example: " I am writing regarding Snuggles- the veteran family puppy currently facing euthanasia in Tucson. Please negotiate with the family for alternatives to euthanasia. The family is willing to keep him confined to their 3 acre property, work with a trainer, and they even installed reinforced fencing. They are ready for him to come home. Please save Snuggles." #savesnuggles ๐Ÿฉท Family Has Tried to Negotiate w/Tucson Prosecutor to No Avail๐Ÿฉท: โ€ข Agreed to have Snuggles neutered. โ€ข Already reinforced and raised gates on the 3-acre property. โ€ข Offered to keep Snuggles confined to the property. โ€ข Offered to refrain from taking him into public settings. โ€ข Offered to work with a licensed professional trainer. โ€ข Even offered for Snuggles to be re-homed to a sanctuary outside the district to save his life ๐Ÿ†˜ Conditions of Confinement- This is DIRE ๐Ÿ†˜: - Snuggles has spent roughly eight months confined in a cement kennel. - He receives little to no meaningful enrichment. - He is not taken on walks. - He is forced to eat, sleep, and relieve himself in the same confined space - Family has had to pay $17, 000 in boarding fees, without any updates from staff on his condition since last year. ๐Ÿ“ Key facts ๐Ÿ“: - Snuggles was approximately a one year old puppy when the incident occurred. - The bite occurred on the family's private 3-acre property. - The injured party (the dog's grandmother/owner's family member) has consistently stated that she provoked the dog before the bite. - Grandma has repeatedly stated that she does NOT consider herself a victim and wants Snuggles returned home. - She did not intend to initiate a dangerous dog proceeding and was unaware that seeking medical treatment would result in the bite being reported to Pima Animal Care Center (PACC). - After the report, PACC confiscated Snuggles and has held him for approximately EIGHT months. - This was Snuggles first bite incident, and he's been sentenced to death despite it occurring on private party and with no reporting victims. โš–๏ธ Concerns regarding the proceedings โš–๏ธ: - The city prosecution proceeded despite the alleged victim stating she was NOT a victim and did NOT want the dog euthanized. She wants the dog HOME. - The incident occurred entirely on PRIVATE property- the public was NEVER at risk. - The court's characterization of the victim's wishes was wildly inconsistent with her actual written statement (there is court audio of this). - The judge stated that grandma was afraid to return home if Snuggles were present, which is false. Grandma wants Snuggles returned home and is not afraid of him. - During the hearing, the prosecution pressed the behavior expert to provide a "100% guarantee" that Snuggles would never bite again. - The expert explained that no qualified professional can provide such a guarantee, but testified that neutering, training, and management would substantially reduce future risk. - PACC approached grandma and took photos of her stitches, which they are now using to say the bite was level 4 which it is NOT. This seems like a violation of basic civil rights laws, taking advantage of an elder like this. - Judge acknowledged she is not familiar with these types of cases, and yet ultimately sentenced the puppy to death. ๐Ÿพ Additional concerns ๐Ÿพ: โ€ข Efforts to negotiate alternative conditions with Prosecutor Alan Merritt were unsuccessful and received no response. โ€ข Family members, including 2 young children, remain deeply attached to Snuggles and are desperate to bring him home. โ€ข PACC has severely restricted public access to the dog, making it difficult for supporters and family members to assess his condition. @JenniferEvn22

For those who help #saveLucyโ€ฆ. Another veteran family needs you ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ #saveSnuggles
๐Ÿšจ SAVE SNUGGLES: Court Orders Euthanasia of Military Veteranโ€™s Family Dog Snuggles is a 2-year-old livestock guardian dog belonging to a military veteran and his family in Tucson, Arizona. He lives with his mom, dad, and two young children who love him dearly and see him as their protector and best friend. Snuggles is now sitting in Pima Animal Care Center after a court ordered euthanasia ruling following a bite incident that occurred on his familyโ€™s property while he was on guard duty. He has now been sitting in the shelter for AMOST 8 MONTHS away from the family he has known his entire life. According to the family, this was Snugglesโ€™ first bite incident. The bite victim was the childrenโ€™s grandmother, and she is also fighting to save Snuggles and bring him home. The family believes Snuggles is being misunderstood for doing what guardian dogs are bred to do: protect their home and family. Snuggles is not a monster. He is a working guardian dog with a family desperately fighting for his life. PLEASE TAKE ACTION โ€ผ๏ธ Steve Kozachik, Director of Pima Animal Care Center ๐Ÿ“ž (520) 724-5900 ๐Ÿ“ง steve.kozachik@pima.gov โ€ผ๏ธ Chad Kasmar, Deputy County Administrator ๐Ÿ“ž (520) 724-7733 ๐Ÿ“ง chad.kasmar@pima.gov Please say: โ€œHi, Iโ€™m calling regarding Snuggles, the livestock guardian dog currently facing euthanasia in Tucson.
