Sad News from San Felipe.

Dear STEVEN,
This is Steven Forman from ZAPP in San Felipe, and this is the latest, very sad news, no pictures, from writer Sharon St. Joan, Best Friends Animal Society in Utah. I waited one full day before sending this information out, because of how hard we all worked to avoid this. Before you read, please know that we were told, that out of respect to Americans living in Mexico, these dogs were not electrocuted, but humanely euthanized by injection. Welcome to the world of animal rescue in Mexico.
I am now working directly with Jessica Higgins, of HSI (Humane Society International) in Washington D.C., to address the issue of 30 out of 31 Mexican States still engaged in the practice of electrocution as a form of euthaniasia in Mexico. Also, Jessica Higgins is investigating and seeking information of just what conclusive data and test results were used to determine that anyone legitimately died as a result of contact with dogs in Mexicali. Mexican press is causing panic among residents, and forcing them to put their pets in the streets. Another roundup is scheduled in San Felipe for April 17th. Mexicali is euthanizing 40 dogs everyday as we speak.
We may have lost this battle, but I assure you we will not loose the War!!!

I live 2 hours south of Mexicali in San Felipe. My question is this: how do they figure that the dogs picked up here 1 week ago contribute to the tick problem in Mexicali??? The pound in Mexicali is at the southern most point of the outskirts of the city! The last round up was done in San Felipe were in neighborhoods wherein dogs were taken from right in front of their homes.
I wouldn't run to the bank believing they practiced humane euthanasia, particularly after they offered the dogs back to us for a modest 2,000.00USD just slighty inflated from the last ransom we paid 3 weeks ago. Smacks of ransom monies.
Interesting that the media is behaving just as biased on this issue as most southern california/arizona publications are about the country wide horrors of travelling in mexico.
