Truthful Veterinarians Needed Now
176 Animals Killed at Tangipahoa Parish Animal Control – Was it really necessary?
We deserve to know the truth.
Help! We need Veterinarians to come forth and state the truth about the Hammond shelter animals and the sickness they are claiming caused them to need to kill them all.
Please contact your veterinarian and ask them to speak up to the media about the corona virus and how it could NOT be the real reason for this mass killing!
We also need any veterinarian that has seen a Tangipahoa Parish Animal Control animal in the last month. We need to know the diseases were seen and if their was a increase in diseases from the past – vet records needed! Stand up for the truth and speak up!
We need the Veterinarians to go and speak at the upcoming meeting…

Why the vets need to speak up?
The media keeps talking to the Parish people and they keep giving them stories about the corona virus spreading. So they cover that in the news.
Facts are needed and they need to be brought to the media’s attention and now!
The adoption documents – all of them – adoptions and returns over the past month, as any returns as well as vet records of all 170+ animals that were killed. And if this deadly disease came in the shelter from a local animal then these disease must already be in the parish animal population. So vets are you seeing an increase in sick animals right now with a deadly disease that is killing them quickly?
All we want is the truth with solid proof. Why aren’t the media asking for and getting this evidence? If there is nothing to hide prove it with solid evidence.
Action Needed
People need to contact the parish president, Gordon Burgess, and demand that he answer these questions:
1. What was the disease diagnosis and who did it?
2. Was a test run for this disease and who did the test?
3. Who was the two experts Burgess consulted before making his design to kill all the animals?
4. What was two attending veterinarians diagnosis of these animals? Who are these veterinarians?
5. If this was such a deadly disease why was 10 animals allow to leave the facility that day?
5. Why did the media report this: ‘According to Parish President Gordon Burgess, there was an outbreak of a dangerous viral airborne infection inside the kennel.’? Was a diagnosis made, when, by whom, and what was the diagnosis?
6. Why did the newspaper report that the killings were because of the Corona virus (which is NOT airborne) when…
Canine Corona Virus is only a disease of puppies. It is rare, self limiting (dogs get well in 3 days without treatment). Cornell & Texas A&M have only diagnosed one case each in the last 7 years. Pet’s Health – http://www.petshealth.com/dr_library/fip.html

176 Animals Killed at Tangipahoa Parish Animal Control – Was it necessary? I don’t see any proof yet!

To the absolute best of my knowledge, having worked in shelters and managed disease control programs, coronavirus of felines is a different type (FeCoV) than that which is found in dogs (CCoV). It simply does not make sense under any stretch of the imagination that there would be a virus that was so severe it warranted mass extermination of all animal species at the shelter.

Canine Coronavirus has been widespread among the canine population for many years. Many dogs, especially adults, are either naturally immune and not susceptible, or develop a very mild, oftentimes unnoticeable, case of the disease. Puppies less than twelve weeks of age are at the greatest risk and some especially weaker ones will die if exposed and infected. Most puppies, however, will recover after several days of mild to severe diarrhea.
I hope they get whats coming to them…. Karma!
