snipe Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 If any of you folks are near a newsstand over the next week, check out the Oct 11 issue of People Magazine that came out yesterday - and flip to page 136 - thats me! And the website/organization that the article is about is hosted on the ever-fabulous TCH servers Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 We dont have that magazine here in Sweden I think. Quote
snipe Posted October 2, 2004 Author Posted October 2, 2004 Heh.. well I scanned the article and posted it - but you have to promise not to tell on me... LOL http://www.snipe.net/showntell/people-magazine.jpg Quote
Virtual Imager Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 Wow!!! That is a PR dream come true!!! Congratulations! Nice going! I hope the reprecussions are many and fruitful. All the best, Randy Quote
snipe Posted October 2, 2004 Author Posted October 2, 2004 Hehe well - its a double-edged sword. What we do is somewhat controversial, so I expect both good and BAD repurcussions - but its still pretty exciting! My email box is flooed with emails from people who have written in! Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 It was nice reading Snipe. Best of luck to you and your projects. Quote
bellringr Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 Someone's going to need some extra bandwidth. That was an awesome article! Thanks so much for sharing. Thumbs Up Quote
TCH-Don Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Very nice Thumbs Up And thank you for what you are doing Quote
boxturt Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Good on you! You are to be commended indeed Quote
borfast Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Wow, People Magazine! Nice! Thumbs Up The trial about the Tigers case took place on Saturday, right? Can you update us on that? Quote
snipe Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 Last I have heard, the trial was postponed *again*. I'll fill you in when I know for sure. Quote
borfast Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Again?!? I don't get it, why are these matters treated as if they weren't important? Quote
snipe Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 Ugh, don't even get me STARTED, Raul. This is the last thing I have gotten: Hi Everyone, The trial of John Weinhart/Tiger Rescue has once again been postponed. There are 63 counts of felony animal abuse pending against Weinhart & his common law wife, Marla Smith. It is time for public outcry. We don't believe that the District Attorney who is assigned to prosecute Weinhart & Smith is taking the case seriously. She was seen in the courtroom recently yukking it up with Weinhart's defense attorney, and she didn't object to another continuance. Even the judge was exasperated. Letters are needed ASAP to the main District Attorney in Riverside County (see below) and to the presiding judge in the case. Please politely but firmly express your outrage that Weinhart and Smith have not yet been brought to justice for all of the animals that they abused and killed during the 12 years that they operated Tier Rescue as a tourist attraction. Remember, all the while they were breeding tigers and making money. Also, please express your concern and insistence that the case be thoroughly and competently prosecuted. Let them know that we are watching and waiting for a just outcome. Because we don't want all of our letters to sound the same, we aren't including a sample letter. If you would like additional information, or would like one of us to read your letter before you mail it, please let us know. Here is the information that you need. Case # : RIF110175 Re: Defendants: John Hans Weinhart & Marla Jean Smith Mr. Grover Trask Riverside County District Attorney 4075 Main Street Riverside, California 92501 With copies of your letter to: Stephanie B. Weissman, Deputy District Attorney Richard West, Supervising District Attorney 4075 Main Street Riverside, California 92501 Judge Ronald L. Taylor Superior Court, County of Riverside Riverside Historic Courthouse 4050 Main St. Riverside, CA 92501 Working on finding out the actual new trial date. http://www.savethetigers.com/info/timeline.php Scroll down and you can see how many times its been postponed already.

borfast Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Thanks, Alison. Let me ask you one more thing: what can someone from outside the US do about this? I'm asking because I live in Portugal and I would like to send a couple of letters but would they be worth anything? Quote
snipe Posted October 5, 2004 Author Posted October 5, 2004 Absolutely - we have gotten letters from a bunch of different countries. They DO help. Even though you're not responsible for voting these people in during their next term, NOBODY wants to be put on the international map because of animal cruelty. Quote
borfast Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Just as I thought, then I'll write a couple of letters, then Thanks Quote
