$10,000 REWARD FOR STOLEN LABRADOR RETRIEVER
My name is Dewayne Eubanks. I am a neurosurgeon, conservationist,
dog lover,
horseman and all -'round country boy.
I was brought up to believe
in caring
for the animals that we own and I love my 4 year old black Lab,
Rebel, like
my kids.
He was stolen from my home on Dec 18, 1999. I have solid
information that he was taken by (or for) a nearby "buncher" who
sells dogs
to research facilities. I am working on proving it.
For now, I am working very hard to get him back, realizing that it
is
extremely unlikely.
He is ~a 70 # male, has a tattoo on inner
thigh (but it
is EXTREMELY hard to see), and a HOME AGAIN MICROCHIP implanted.
He is a
typical black lab, with no white patch anywhere. Close inspection
will
reveal scattered INDIVIDUAL white hairs, especially in the
neck/chest area.
He had cut his left rear leg (inside "knee") about two weeks before
being
stolen and had two staples in place when he was taken. He has also
had the
right foreleg sewn up last year.
He has a seizure disorder and in
hot
weather will have a heat stroke if not carefully watched. He
carries his
tail curled up over his back (like an Akita) when he is happy.
He was taken from my home on County Road 464 in Jonesboro, AR. The
thieves
are believed to have been in an older car, dilapidated, and
probably 2 men.
They were seen in an old, grayish midsize car (? Ford?) working
this area
again a few days later. I have not found out for certain if he was
sold to a
puppy mill, black market trainer, or (worse case scenario) a
research
facility. I know that USDA regulations require labs to refuse any
animal
that is chipped or tattooed, but I have been told that this is
routinely
ignored. I know that there are only 60 inspectors for the entire
country to
try to enforce the Animal Welfare Act.
My goal is to post this notice on every animal Website that I can
find and
send it to every USDA licensed Class "A" and Class "B" animal
dealer and
every licensed research facility, vet school and medical school in
the
country. I would appreciate it if you could keep your eyes open
for my
friend.
I will pay $3000 dollars for his safe return, no questions
asked. I
will pay $7000 MORE for information that leads to the arrest and
conviction
of the thieves and others involved in the conspiracy.
If you are a research facility and have received this notice, I beg
you to
CAREFULLY check your animals for implanted chips (all brands) and
tattoos. As
a neurosurgeon, I support animal research for worthwhile purposes
when the
data cannot be acquired any other way and when the animals are
PROPERLY
PROCURED and properly cared for - but NOT WHEN THEY ARE OUR PETS
THAT HAVE
BEEN STOLEN.
Two months ago, I had no idea that there was such a
vast
network of criminal activity in this area but I have learned
volumes lately
about the seedy underbelly of animal procurement. I am planning a
Website
specifically devoted to the problem of stolen animals, making
public the
incredible evidence that I have uncovered in only 6 weeks as well
as serving
as a database for others who have had pets stolen. Please feel
free to
forward this to anyone or anywhere you wish. If you would like to
be
notified when the Website is up and going, please forward to me
your e-mail
address.
Thank You.
