My family recently threw me a b-day party where I reconnected with a childhood friend that I hadn’t see in 10 years. In catching up on all that has happened in each others lives…. I found out about a recent tragedy in hers.
Last October Jen Thomas offered some free baby clothes to a couple expecting a child. They came to her home and on that same day – her bulldog Jagger was stolen. The couple sent threatening text messages to Jen, demanding cash and her prescription pain medicine (20 years ago Jen was in a tragic motorcycle crash that almost took her life but did take the use of one of her legs ). The end result is that Jagger never got to return home. The couple and one other person involved brutally tortured Jagger eventually leaving him disfigured near some railroad tracks in Kelso. As an animal lover, this makes my heart sink and my blood boil!
The story caught the attention of Ms Eiland and through change.org she started a petition to try to strengthen sentences relating to animal abuse and cruelty. PLEASE go here – and sign the petition. You can find additional details / the full story on KOIN TV’s website by searching Jagger the Bulldog but here’s the latest.
Jen is also trying to raise money for a charity that helps tortured and abused animals. Click here to buy a “Justice for Jagger” T-Shirt or get in touch with me and I’ll get you one (the cost is 10.50 plus shipping. She was able to get them made for 5.50 and the other 5.00 goes to the charity).
