#SAVESNUGGLES UPDATE
On June 8, Pima Animal Care Center released a public statement regarding the #SaveSnuggles case that contained several FALSE claims.
Today, I am going to address one of them.
🚨 THE CLAIM: GRANDMA IS SCARED OF SNUGGLES AND DOES NOT WANT HIM TO RETURN HOME.
Steve Kozachik, Director of Pima Animal Care Center, stated that those of us advocating for Snuggles are spreading a false narrative when we say the grandmother, who was the bite victim, wants Snuggles returned home.
Well, let’s look at the facts. Shall we?
The first video clip attached to this post was published on May 24.
In that video, the grandmother publicly pleads for Snuggles' life and asks that he be returned home.
The second video clip was published on May 27.
In that video, the grandmother joins her daughter and grandchildren as they bring birthday cake to Pima Animal Care Center so Snuggles can celebrate his dog brother's birthday.
PACC would not allow the family to visit Snuggles.
But the grandmother still showed up.
In the video, she can be seen leaving #SaveSnuggles flyers…advocating for his release.
Those are not my words. Those are her actions.
Today, I am not asking anyone to take my word for it.
I am asking you to watch the videos and listen to the grandmother herself.
If the grandmother truly does not want Snuggles home...
Why has she spent months advocating for him?
Why is she handing out #SaveSnuggles flyers?
Why is she showing up at the shelter?
Why is she publicly asking that he be spared?
Why is she standing beside her daughter and grandchildren in the fight to bring him home?
Watch the videos.
Then decide for yourself.
