The post above is from tonight from the Pasado website. Here are the key points:
9/10 6:47pm PST ASCENSION PARISH SHERIFF STOPS RESCUERS FROM SHELTER - ARMED GUARDS OUTSIDE WON'T LET US IN! Because the Louisiana State Veterinarian refuses to lift the 15 day quarantine hold period, the Gonzales state-designated shelter, is now considered full by the local sheriff. The Parish Sheriff is holding Pasado Rescuers back with loaded guns, despite the fact we have full vans, loaded with animals - the result of a 19-hour-day of rescue. We need to raise hell - call local media, whoever you can, the state vet needs to cut the bureaucracy and allow foster families, from around the country, to take these animals!
We need calls to every media outlet and govt official you know.
Start with CNN, MSNBC, FOX. Then the Gov of LA (her office phones are open), and then try the White House. Can you believe the White House has closed their comment line for the weekend? So try emailing or faxing them. See phone#s below.
