Tune into to WRFY this Sunday morning at 7 AM when Tamira Thayne, founder and CEO of Dogs Deserve Better and I will be the guests of Reading-Berks Roundtable with host Nick Harris.
Tamira is a very dedicated advocate for chained dogs and she has been arrested and convicted twice in the midst of helping these defenseless dogs. And now she is also being charged with criminal trespass for allegedly going onto a posted property in Snyder Township to videotape chained dogs.
Here is Tamira in her own words about the work she does:
Says Thayne: “I am committed to unchaining Pennsylvania’s dogs,America’s dogs. I will not quit until I see Americans treat our companions with the respect and care they deserve. I have come to accept I may end up with a rap sheet longer than my arm for helping chained dogs. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make—in fact, I consider it an honor. They deserve that kind of dedication. It’s time America grows up. Time America follows European countries such as England, Austria, and Germany, who know how to make dogs part of the family and would never allow their neighbors to chain their dogs in today’s society. I remain optimistic because I know that time is short on the side of the abusers. We are simply not willing to tolerate the abuse any longer. Chaining your dog for life IS abuse. Be intolerant with me.”
Let us be intolerant with Tamira. These dogs need our help!
A bill is going to be introduced by State Rep. James Casorio very soon to restrict tethering of dogs in PA. This legislation will require our help. Go to UnchainPADogs and join the coilition to help with this cause.
Tune in Sunday to hear more about this legislation and learn more about chained dogs in PA. You can also tune in at 7:30 on WRAW (1340 AM) to hear the program.
