Cocoa, Florida. Christine Dawn Abrams. Starved her Dog to Death.

The face of evil. Too harsh? Well, listen to this: Christine Dawn Abrams, 29 yrs, abandoned her German Shepherd for two months without food or water. Ella, the dog, was locked in a metal cage in her former home and Abrams never came back to check on her. Two months? That's probably when the dead dog was discovered. It could not have lived two months without food or water. Why the abandonment? Apparently, Abrams lost her home. But, she did not have to lose her dog. Abram's logic, evidently, equated Ella with the home. Leave home, leave dog. Twisted logic, it is. However, why lock the dog up in a cage when you know she won't have a chance to live? Why not take Ella to a shelter, or offer her to a friend? There's where evilness comes in. She actually admitted to police that she knew her actions would lead to the dog's death. I am sorry. I might have misled you to think that Abrams moved to a far away place. In reality, Abrams moved only six miles away. Read more about this case here:

UPDATE : Oct. 29, 2008 http://petloverstips.com/ForTheLoveoftheDog/news-updates/evidence-stays-christine-abrams-changes-plea#more-2270

UPDATE : December 2008 : Abrams' sentence came to eight months in the Brevard County Jail, twelve months of supervised probation jail, pay a of five thousand dollars plus the cost of the prosecution and the investigation. Then, eighty hours of community service and she can't possess animals during the period of her probation. That should have been NEVER to possess an animal again.

Oh you know this has hit a big nerve with me! I am following this case very closely and I will freak if Abrams manages to get away with it. I ALMOST jumped a plane to Florida for one of the protests! This is one of the most saddest cases that I have ever encountered. This case will remain forever on my blog. The internet is the karma of the 21st century.

Oh...something else. Go to this new website www.voicesforella.org

Here you can view all the case documents which include the photos taken by the police. And I warn you - not for people with delicate constitutions. Also included are the police reports and veterinary records. It's all public record.

After visiting the Voices
For Ella site (thank you, air) and reading everything there, I have to agree this woman Abrams is the face of evil. She is the poster girl for every cold blooded monster that ever walked the earth.

This is so disturbing. I wish I was not imagining how that poor dog was feeling in that cage.

Philippines. Reporting Animal Cruelty. Emergency Numbers. RA 8485.

Because I belong to an group of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines, I can read the numerous discussions between group members and people who, seems to me, just signed up to make an urgent plea for help. There were two this week who begged for assistance concerning two dogs who were tied up under rain and sun with no food nor water. One was described to be on the verge of a heat stroke. The images that filled my mind disturbed me immensely, but I am also encouraged at the same time. There is a growing number of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines and ordinary citizens are beginning to reject animal cruelty, willing to take personal action against it. Just from this website, I can see from the visitor data that many are seeking information on how to report animal cruelty in the Philippines. You can find my previous post on the subject HERE . Keep in mind that your complaint has legal standing via the Philippine Animal Welfare Act which is also known as the RA 8485 .

Three Members of the Philippine Shooting Team and the Killing of Protected Philippine Wildlife

When a member of the animal or plant kingdom goes extinct, there will be no second chances. Evolution will simply not repeat itself. There are reportedly eighty bird species that are unique to the Philippines and many of them have already made it to the endangered list. And we, to a great extent, have indiscrimate hunting to thank for it. In spite of two national laws protecting Philippine animals, the carnage continues unabated. The killings could occur as arbitrarily as guys getting together for macho time, or as a result of a well-planned hunting trip involving speed boats, bird callers, and camouflaged outfits. Either way, the outcome is the same. Philippine wildlife, our natural treasures, inches closer to a state of irreparable vacancy. Not too long ago, we learned about the Bacolod Air Rifle Club (BARC) whose unbridled killing of Philippine birds and ducks became the subject of an online petition calling for immediate government intervention. My post on that most disturbing c

Movie Oro. Dog Cruelty. Alvin Yapan. Mark Shandii Bacolod. Friends for the Protection of Animals.

Position Statement on Oro The Friends for the Protection of Animals are opposed to the use of any animal for the purposes of entertainment, labor, experimentation, or as captive exhibits. We believe in their natural born rights to freedom and an unencumbered life, rights that are no less valuable or unalienable as our rights as humans. In this light, we condemn the bludgeoning death of a dog, perhaps two as alleged by an insider, for dramatic purposes in the film, Oro. We a bhor the insensitivity of the cast and crew whose apathy to an animal's suffering, coupled with their desire for personal glory and industry recognition, moved us to ponder just how deep can human depravity sink. We question their responsibility to decency and compassion which evidently they heeded to cinematic expediency. Reported responses to the press reveal that there was never any compunction to do so. We consider the killings to be a violation of the Animal Welfare Act which prohibits cruel and exp
