Update on Sgt. Mike Minton (the killer of innocent dogs) -- still no word on whether he is the "Willy Mike Minton" wanted by the FBI. I know the FBI has been flooded with email on this... so if he IS the guy they are looking for, they can't miss him!
Open letter on the ASPCA site states:

"Yes, some of the unfortunate stories you are hearing are true. There are confirmed reports of animals being shot in local parishes. From what we have been able to determine, there are genuine issues of public safety. There are concerns about protecting the integrity of human remains. And there has been a loss of command and control in some of the areas where law enforcement officials do not understand how to handle free-roaming dogs. To make matters worse, vandals and looters with firearms are a threat. On behalf of concerned citizens, ASPCA Public Information coordinator Luiza Grunebaum contacted the office of Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco to inquire about the dog shootings that took place in St. Bernard's Parish. According to a governor's aide, the shootings occurred under the orders of Sgt. Mike Minton, the sheriff, who "took this upon himself." Grunebaum was told the shootings have ceased, and Sgt. Minton faces disciplinary charges as a result of his directive."
Disciplinary charges??? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!
People are outraged... and MANY posts can be seen to the Louisiana State Senate -- Senator Walter J. Boasso:

PLEASE take a moment post your own opinion on Sgt. Mike Minton there!
There is an attorney that plans to follow up on this, and make sure that Mike Minton pays for his actions. He will do this at no charge, and has things already in the works below (a letter to Senator Boasso's assistant) and has other people lined up to help as well.

Dear Mr. Tucker:
What exactly is Senator Boasso doing to stop it? Did he take Minton's badge ? And 2. The video clearly shows the dogs murdered by Minton are wagging their tails and waiting to be rescued.
The video is black and white, please do not waste time trying to deny these heinous actions. It has been mailed to every media outlet across the country and will not be forgotten, swept under a carpet or denied. Petlovers trying to help people and pets in St Bernard will not rest until Minton is brought to justice. It is the Senator's obligation to assist in that goal so the video does not remain the calling card of the parish therefore tarnishing it's reputation along with the good folks who do live there. Remember you will need outside funds to rebuild. Condemning and punishing these atrocities will go a long way.
Very Truly Yours,
MJ Feuerstein
