Pet remains found at site of shelter

Published on May 17, 2011
Hundreds of bones and animal carcasses were uncovered May 16, by local animal-rescue groups at the site of Loonie Farms Rescue Shelter in Long County. Representatives from local shelters and animal-welfare organizations said they received word from Christiane Judd that she was closing up Loonie Farms and not returning.
Thinking they would collect homeless pets to care for, the representatives who showed up to assist instead were horrified to find decaying carcasses of dogs, cats and other animals strewn throughout the rear-end of the 10-acre property. Some of the bones collected appeared to have been punctured by bullets; other carcasses still had collars and leashes wrapped around their necks.
“It’s not the kind of case you see a lot of. Most people care for their animals and don’t commit these kinds of neglectful acts,” Long County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Detective Tom Sollosi said as he took statements from witnesses.
James and Christiane Judd were leasing the property from James and Tina Guest. Tina Guest said she was stunned when she received word this morning about what was found on her property.
“I am just sick,” she said Tuesday. “I didn’t know about this until today — this morning. I want her to be arrested for animal cruelty. I think she should be arrested and arrested today,” Guest said of Christiane Judd.
Sollosi said law-enforcement authorities still are investigating the case, which is tied to other alleged crimes that James Judd may be involved in.
“I’m out here investigating a couple of different things,” the detective said. “Most importantly, the cruelty to animals accusations and the theft allegations. It appears there has been stolen property here, and we have recovered stolen property near here and from here in the past. We want to continue to look for any potential stolen property, file proper charges and return any stolen property to its rightful owners.”
James Edward Judd was arrested last week after discovering he was in possession of a stolen Shadow mobile trailer.
“James Judd was on parole when he was found to be dealing in receiving stolen property so he was re-arrested on those charges,” Sollosi said. “His parole was subsequently revoked and he was sent back to the Georgia Department of Corrections Pardon and Parole facility.”
Sollosi said he had received several reports from concerned citizens in the past and based on those reports, authorities obtained a search warrant and met with Christiane Judd a few weeks ago.
“We did a brief investigation and a joint inspection of the facility with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the Secretary of State office, because they are the entity responsible for issuing the licenses for rescues and shelters, and the Long County Sheriff’s office,” he said
Sollosi said Judd cooperated with the investigation and said she was doing what she could to care for the animals.
“Mrs. Judd was cautioned very sternly about the condition of the shelter by the representatives from the Department of Agriculture and we made some corrections,” the detective said. “We wanted to assist her where we could … She had indicated that she had the desire to assist and care for the treatment and sheltering of stray animals out of the goodness of her heart and I can’t help but feel that she mislead a lot of people.”
Workers were able to rescue a few animals, including three small kittens and a dog.
“Animal Haven of Hope has temporarily taken three kittens that we found in a barrel out here,” said Dawn Strykr of AHHS. “We are bottle-feeding them at this time and when they are ready, we will have them spayed and neutered and adopted out.”
Strykr said they started suspecting there may be problems and had heard tales of possible animal abuse.
“Many different people from different places around this area suspected that they were shooting dogs out here,” she said. “That they were taking in dogs and items and keeping the items and shooting the dogs. One rescue group that I know of transferred 30 dogs here and about $15,000 worth of property and inventory and we found out later that the dogs were most likely shot.”
With the discovery of the bones, Strykr fears it will affect other organizations as well.
“There is a lot of emotion … in the beginning, nobody suspected anything,” she said. “We had high hopes for this place and we trusted and one of the things that I would like to say is that I hope this doesn’t take away from the respectable organizations that are still out there.”Published on May 17, 2011 Hundreds of bones and animal carcasses were uncovered May... more

Report slams Pakistan drone attacks

New information on the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) campaign of drone strikes in northwest Pakistan directly contradicts the image the Barack Obama administration and the CIA have sought to establish in the news media of a programme based on highly accurate targeting that is effective in disrupting al-Qaeda's terrorist plots against the United States.

A new report on civilian casualties in the war in Pakistan has revealed direct evidence that a house was targeted for a drone attack merely because it had been visited by a group of Taliban fighters.

The report came shortly after publication of the results of a survey of opinion within the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan showing overwhelming popular opposition to the drone strikes and majority support for suicide attacks on US forces under somfe circumstances.

Meanwhile, data on targeting of the drone strikes in Pakistan indicate that they have now become primarily an adjunct of the US war in Afghanistan, targeting almost entirely militant groups involved in the Afghan insurgency rather than al Qaeda officials involved in plotting global terrorism.

The new report published by the Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict (CIVIC) last week offers the first glimpse of the drone strikes based on actual interviews with civilian victims of the strikes.

In an interview with a researcher for CIVIC, a civilian victim of a drone strike in North Waziristan carried out during the Obama administration recounted how his home had been visited by Taliban fighters asking for lunch. He said he had agreed out of fear of refusing them.

The very next day, he recalled, the house was destroyed by a missile from a drone, killing his only son.

The CIVIC researcher, Christopher Rogers, investigated nine of the 139 drone strikes carried out since the beginning of 2009 and found that a total of 30 civilians had been killed in those strikes, including 14 women and children.

Hundreds of civilians killed

If that average rate of 3.33 civilian casualties for each drone bombing is typical of all the strikes since the rules for the strikes were loosened in early 2008, it would suggest that roughly 460 civilians have been killed in the drone campaign during that period.

The total number of deaths from the drone war in Pakistan since early 2008 is unknown, but has been estimated by Peter Bergen and Katherine Tiedemann of the New America Foundation at between 1,109 and 1,734.
