"I also think the D.A should be made aware of just how poorly this dog was treated by its owners. He was clearly abused."

Brief recap: Bullet is a chow-chow who was abandoned by some drug users at a house they used to inhabit. It took many calls before Contra Costa County California "Animal Control" bothered to pick Bullet up. Calls were made to the Contra Costa County Sheriff, but it is unknown whether the Sheriff ever did anything.

Prosecuting junkies won't change anything--even if they get before a Judge, nothing is going to happen. The Judge won't slam them in jail for any meaningful time period--if at all--and any "treatment program" is almost certainly going to be the same old game of some business raking in money at the public trough rather than actually providing genuine treatment that works. The drug abusers are just "human garbage"--it would cost too much money to salvage their lives, so they are treated as nothing more than expendable pawns, as "things" that certain interests can profit from.

If you want change, get the news media involved--or get creative and find other ways of getting the word out--and let the world know what a crappy job that "Animal Control" and the "Sheriff" did. Get people involved, get them off their asses, get them thinking, doing, get them writing letters, showing up at government meetings, get them phoning the government officials who are in a position to do something. For those in the Contra Costa County area, who have already done so much trying to help Bullet, make sure you get video of Bullet before he is murdered. And make no mistake, Bullet is going to die because someone at the facility is going to kill him, because we as a society refuse to stand up and say, "Thou Shalt Not Kill". Let Bullet be a symbol of the deep sickness that exists, and perhaps in death Bullet's life may have meaning.

If anyone would like to perform a miracle for Bullet, A318373, as of December 14, 2006, he is at the Contra Costa Animal Shelter, 4800 Imhoff Place, Martinez, CA 94553,
(925) 335-8300.
