URGENT: Man Wants to Imprison and Bleed Dogs—Help Prevent This!

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

Dogs need your help ASAP: A guy named Jonathan Wilson has asked to keep and bleed many dogs on a property near Danville, Kansas. 😰 The Harper County Board of Commissioners will vote on the application on September 8—please urge the Board to vote “no”!

Wilson isn’t a licensed veterinarian or a registered veterinary technician in Kansas, so how is he qualified to take blood from dogs’ jugular veins? Crude animal blood banks like this are some of the shadiest places on Earth. A PETA undercover investigation into one in Indiana found that it warehouses hundreds of dogs and cats in kennels and crowded pens for life. Workers snatched stray animals off the streets—and even answered ads offering to give unwanted animals a “good home”—only to put them in cages and bleed them until they died.

With the success of community-based blood banks (which get blood from animals living in loving homes), there’s no need to imprison dogs like Wilson wants to do in Harper County.

Please help protect dogs from being caged and bled their entire lives—tell the Harper County Board of Commissioners to vote “no” on Wilson’s request! 🚨🚨🚨

Jonathan Wilson’s request to bleed approximately 100 dogs on a property near Danville raises significant animal welfare concerns—and risks to county residents. I respectfully request that you deny this request.

Neither federal nor Kansas law addresses the animal blood banking industry or the many ways in which it compromises animal welfare and safety. Approving this request will pave the way for a business that will not be subject to any manner of oversight or inspection and surely operate in secrecy. And given the success in Kansas and elsewhere of community-based blood banks (which obtain blood from animals who live in loving homes), there’s no need to imprison dogs the way Wilson desires to do in Harper County.

PETA has extensive experience investigating this largely unregulated industry across the U.S., with each investigation revealing animal suffering and welfare concerns. PETA’s undercover investigation of an Indiana animal blood bank similar to that which Wilson proposes for your community found that workers removed stray animals off the streets—and even answered ads seeking homes for unwanted animals, offering to give them a “good home”—only to put them in cages and bleed them until they died. Harper County shouldn’t expose its residents and their beloved companion animals to that risk.

Respectfully, I urge you to deny Wilson’s request to operate a captive dog bleeding business. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
