Hi, I have a couple of questions: What are the next steps/plans to free Tony (truck stop tiger in LA)? Do you think it's just a matter of time until he's free - like yes, the legal process takes forever, but is it moving in a good direction that leads to his freedom? Also, what are the biggest obstacles you deal with - I mean, is it that state/local gov'ts just don't care about these animals' rights or that the laws just don't exist yet until you bring an issue before the court? I'm just imagining you in court, providing evidence as to the conditions a wild animal is living in, thinking the people you talk to must've had a dog/pet at some point in life, yet, in hearing your evidence, are like, eh, yeah, we're just gonna let that animal's suffering continue. I mean, once you make lawmakers/legal system aware of a situation, don't they want to help? I don't see how anyone, other than the crappy owners, could not be on the animals' side. Sorry for the long-windedness - thinking about these poor animals (and all the animals worldwide who suffer at human hands) overwhelms me and breaks my heart.
