You seem angry and sanctimonious. You have no words for Zoey? They literally just named you in her trial and...silence. Lol what a clown. I liked you better when you had a hairline and a backbone.

The dark side of humanity needs to heal their mental illness now. Responsibility must be taken for their criminality. Enough. Thank you, Wayne, for your compassion and courage.

Andrew Sullivan reaches a pretty wide-ranging readership, from center-left, to center-right. He's adopted at least two beagles over the years, whom he clearly adores. And he's hosted a handful of guests with whom a major focus has been some area of animal rights and/or welfare. It crossed my mind in the past to suggest Wayne as a possible guest. I don't know him personally, but he does read and reply to thoughtful correspondence. I'll forward this post and offer that suggestion.

Please reach out to him! More convincing coming from someone other than me.

Have you tried contacting Lara Trump? Daughter-in-law of Donald Trump and wife of his son Eric Trump. She is known for her involvement with animal rescue, particularly dogs. She adopted a rescue beagle named Ben from San Antonio in 2016, whom they frequently feature on social media. She has also supported legislative efforts to prevent animal cruelty, including the ban on greyhound racing in Florida.

Absolutely thought of it, but Wayne has extraordinarily visible history on this matter and I felt he would be much more credible (and accessible) by a long stretch. - However should he not (be able to) do it, or not confirm he was going to give it a go, I had already penciled in when I would attempt to shoulder it.

Emailed Tim Gruenke and Marci Kurtz.

We are a nation united by our love of dogs. The will of the people will be upheld as we live according to our best and kindest values.

It fills me with rage to see these torturous acts being performed on such innocent creatures as beagles. I’m not even sure what to do with all this rage other than write up Tim Grunke (which I’ll do peacefully). I don’t know how you do this kind of work, Wayne, without getting emotionally burned out. But I appreciate it.

Our world is full of people who can bomb and starve innocents without remorse and then do the same on poor animals. Sick.

Corruption in local government is an epidemic. I live in Los Angeles and as of October 2023, three Los Angeles City Council members have been indicted. The indictments are related to corruption and bribery charges.

The unwillingness of the Madison DAs to prosecute a corporation, is suspect.

In an interview about a seeming 'hurricane' of brutal policies and decisions promising to 'collapse' a once more hopeful civic and governmental structure of civilized existence, NY Books contributor Mark Lilla adverted to 'chthonic forces' in the saddle, riding us on to an undesirable fate-- https://nybooks.com/online/2025/10/18/chthonic-forces-mark-lilla/ . He recommends a better familiarity with the origins of experimental laboratory science as envisaged by project founder Sir Francis Bacon-- https://firstthings.com/voyages-to-the-end-of-the-world/ . To me it seems as though there's an increasing pervasiveness of evil exhibiting as crimes in a 'new normal' to be conceded to, as to the post-Luddite factory economy yielded to by the propagandized public in Britain, and lately bemoaned by Dr. Bret Weinstein at a Ron Johnson roundtable last year-- https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1980718894240379242 .

Here’s my email:

You have failed to protect innocent gentle dogs at Ridgland. Correct course now.

Please.

You were appointed to investigate animal cruelty.

God loves those dogs, we are all his creatures.

What you do or don’t do to them, you do to all God’s creatures, including yourselves.
