Tuesday, March 13 2018Jenna and George: A lifetime of love Photo: Boyd Huppert, KARE 11 When Jenna had her 10th birthday party at the Milwaukee County Zoo, she received a gopher tortoise as a gift from the then director. That was in 1962. Jenna named the tortoise George and she grew up like any other normal Milwaukee kid in the 60's, except she had a pet tortoise. When she went to college, when she met the love of her life, family vacations, everything in life, George was there. Today Jenna is 65 years old and living in Minnesota. And George? He is 56 and still alive and kicking and living life with Jenna. He has outlived several family dogs and a few walk abouts, the most recent being about 30 years ago. “He doesn’t sit on your lap and can’t take him on walk, but he’s a great pet,” Kirby says. In George's life, his species has declined severely in the wild and has become protected and endangered. to have a gopher tortoise now, there are permits and restrictions. When someone asks what you will do with your pet reptiles when you get old, just pause and think of George and Jenna. Read the full story and see the video at kare11.com.

Friday, March 9 2018Rattlesnake Round-ups Celebrate Animal Abuse Looking into the Rattlesnake Pit - Sweetwater Texas - Photo Credit: Jo-Anne McArthur Nothing says “quality family time” like beheading live animals with blunt force trauma to the head, or skinning them alive! If you have young children, they can paint in the blood of the recently slaughtered on the hand-print wall in the children's section. There is even food and a beauty pageant, where the winner will prove she likes to skin animals alive!

Late this morning, a fire broke in the home of Scott Dombrowski and Diana Sleiertin, the founder of Maxman Reptile Rescue. Their home sheltered many of the rescue's animals as well as the family's personal pets. The only one home at the time was Scott, who was critically injured while attempting to save animals. Scott's condition is at present critical and unstable. Diana is with him at the hospital while friends and family attempt to go determine what, if anything, can be saved at the house. Having spent most of my life doing reptile rescue, I know the life Diana has lived. We shared stories of our rescue work the year she visited the Reptile Fest. Everything she had, she put into the animals, and she rescued everything. While her work and heart lay in reptiles, she worked with other area organizations to save as many as possible. Right now they need our help. Scott's condition is currently listed as critical. Donations to the family can be made at their gofundme. As we learn more information, we will keep you posted. |
