[Faith-talk] update on my friend Nick, and answer for Vejas

[Beth Taurasi]

Dear list,
I have an update on Nick, but it's not much.  I already have spoken to 
the national office in the NFB and Idk what will happen from there.  
I've been told by his friend in Iowa to stop this mess, but for one, I 
can't.  It's like telling the police not to fine a kennel operator 
thousands for mistreating puppies when he says he didn't. I'll tell you 
what I mean.  Michael Wolfe and Gordone Trotiex along with a lady called 
Margaret Hills mistreated hundreds of small dogs in a puppy mill, and 
they refused fines or punishment.  Dog wardens came knocking and yet the 
inspections came back fine.  However, a humane society officer was 
tipped off about "that place".  For more, go to the Bard site and pick 
up "Saving Gracie: How One Dog Escaped the Shadowy World of American 
Puppy Mills."  It's by Carol Bradley. She has dogs too.
Anyway, Nick is something above the pups in a puppy mill.  Maybe we 
should be writing a book about how group home care and guardianship are 
America's shameful secrets.  Nick didn't make a choice to go to Crest, 
where he is living currently.  That's for Vejas.  He could go to a home 
with friends in Des Moines.  I'm thinking maybe my friend Jason, who is 
blind, and his wife is sighted, but she knows Jason is capable and 
stuff.  Jason and his wife are really cool, and I've known them for a 
bit, but my impression of him is he's capable.
Anyhow, Nick is still being held, and the petition was edited so the 
letter says what it should say, give his stuff back or else.  I didn't 
threaten, but I need more signatories to it.  So I'd advise the NFB and 
the rest of the community to sign the petition.  Anyone who signs it 
will make a huge difference, that's what I must say.
Thank you.
Beth
