Still want a bailout?

I agree with rights...but same sex marriage is not one of them.

The reason they give heterosexual couples rights of marriage in the first place is that society needs to promote reproduction to sustain society at current and future levels. Homosexuality does not do this. 

This is not a religious issue in itself. It has other ramifications. We are promoting abortion and we are promoting life styles that do not produce birth. We are also encouraging behaviors that lead to harm of those that practice them. I'm not talking about godly consequences; I'm talking about the Center of Disease control shows that homosexuals have 54% higher rates of herpes.

Homosexuals say that they are promiscuous because they cannot get married....Please...That is just as ridiculous as the argument people have waged that says "the reason priest molest children is because they cannot get married." They molest children because they are child molesters. They were not forced to become priests, they chose abstenance. Nor are homosexuals forced to be promiscuous. 

Those are the dumbest arguments in the world.  If people want to be in a committed relationship, you don’t need my permission do so. Many heterosexuals are committed and not married.  Promiscuity and commitment are choices, not laws.

The fact is the straw man arguments being waged by the homosexual community have no basis in reality. But are in fact hot buttons pushed to play on the emotional rather than rational side of those opposed or on the fence. People form partnerships daily via corporations....they are not married.

Even married couples have to have a living will, durable power of attorney, and executive will and trust in order to not have belongings go into probate. Look at the Terri Schiavo case...they were married and the husband did not have the power to end her life. It took the Supreme Court and 12 years before they took action. Why, because they did not have a will. So the straw man argument of "we are being deprived rights” is completely ridiculous. Write out a durable power of attorney and will and file them at the court house and no court will refuse homosexuals rights of property. Marriage does not remedy the issue of property rights that the homosexual community is arguing for. Legal wills and medical power of attorney will.

If you want me to say I approve of homosexual marriage? Never. But if you want me to recognize property rights, sign the same contracts heterosexual couples need to and your problem is solved. But do not patronize me with these straw man arguments.

Last, the other argument is health insurance. I am not sure that health insurance should be extended for domestic partnerships. People, who are smokers, pay higher premiums than non smokers. Why, they are a high risk. Telling someone they will not insure dangerous behaviors is the free market saying too risky to insure. What the homosexual community is asking for, is to be able to play the slot machines without losing money. But, if the machine hits you want to be able to keep the money. Because you are in a high risk category you pay more period. Not depriving you of rights, just dollars and cents.

I am for capitalism so when it comes to the free market, I am against government intervention, but this is one where I think without it, we’ll be in a great depression scenario. GM alone employs 266,000 people world wide.  Between the big 3 they employ nearly 500,000 employees on the assembly lines and GM alone employs over 30 thousand white collar jobs. Then you have Ford and Chrysler, numerous tire factories and cottage industries that are fed off of the American auto industry. Up fitter’s like Master Rack, Lear, Crown and Knapheide here in Missouri that would then lay off employees. The totals could be over a million that are unemployed as a result of the "Big 3" closing. Revised, here is another startling fact: GM according to GM Facts they spent $197. million dollars in 2007 for online advertisments alone. That was only 50% of their total advertising dollars. That would be a 394 million dollar loss to advertising industries!

What can Bush do? I wouldn’t agree to a bailout if I were the president; what I would do is allow congress to pass the legislation in the House and Senate, then do a "Pocket Veto" where the president does not sign the bill nor does he reject it and it becomes law within 10 days anyway and then his signatures not on it.

What I feel will happen to President Bush, and congress has already done this to him before, where they draft the legislation and say it's a bipartisan effort viola the (Education Bill drafted by Ted Kennedy) then the president signs it into law and they point the blame at him for bailing out the Wall Street and Halliburton buddies. I would rather the bailout be 100% democrat so that they look like they are giving the corporate welfare and Bush and all of the republicans should say so. That is why Pelosi wants the president to push for the bailout so he takes the blame and gives them more ammo.

You know if he signs it, the democrats will say this president bailed out his Wall Street buddies again and didn’t do anything for the middle class when in reality, the bailout would do nothing but save the middle class. The corporate fat cats have enough money to never have to work again anyway so essentially the middle class will be the unemployed on the food lines.

This bailout has the need for a Barack Obama signature, so that the media and the democrats do not use this as another diversion and a way to antagonize more class warfare. Since Pelosi is the one calling for the bailout, let it fall on the democrats shoulders, after all they are the ones that receive all of the Union blood money via campaign contributions. The volatility of the economy as it stands today, there is no guarantee that a bailout will not just temporarily postpone the inevitable and the industry could fail anyway. Plus numerous industries are calling for government intervention while screaming stay out of private businesses affairs.

With no intervention, there is the possibility of a huge catastrophe. With intervention, the possibility of a huge catastrophe remains. Government intervention prevents the normal market corrections from taking place which force companies to streamline costs and efficiencies. 

Your thoughts? 

Stories are now coming out that Palin brought down the McCain ticket. http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?cl=10560

If the Republican Party is going to play the blame game, blame the candidate. If you noticed during the debates on numerous occasions Barack Obama said that he agreed with McCain. Agreed with McCain! So the question is not whether Sarah brought down the ticket, the question should be why was it that when McCain spoke,  Obama thought he heard himself in McCain and said “I agree with McCain as if they shared the same value system…when Obama is the most liberal senator there is? If Obama and McCain agree, there is a serious problem.

When people are given the choice of two liberals, they will naturally go with the one who is calling himself a liberal. McCain was and always has tried to compete with those who were looking to expand socialism instead of securing the base. By the margin that McCain lost by, it was NOT because of the middle of the road the “unwashed”, it was because Republicans did not vote for him.

If you don't believe that to be accurate look at three extremely conservative values based bills that went through: 1. Proposition 8 in California, a state that Obama carried voted to amend the constitution to define marriage is only between a man and a woman. 2. Proposition 102 in Arizona that amended the constitution to define marriage can only be between a man and a woman. 3. Missouri voted to pass amendment No. 1 to make English the official language of government. These issues are what the middle of the road and conservatives voted on, and many of the liberals did as well. So if McCain's loss could be blamed on anything, blame it on the fact that he has sided with McCain/Kennedy, McCain/Feingold, Gang of 14, he voted against the federal marriage amendment.  McCain lost! Conservatism did not.

Frankly those Palin bashers out there, including those in the Republican party are setting themselves up to continue to lose elections if they are going to take their talking points from: Joe Lieberman, MSNBC, CNN, Tim Matthews and Ted Kennedy. McCain turned down a 30 minute "free" interview on the number one rated O'Reilly Factor which would air on the same night as Obama's American Idol vote show to instead appear on CBS Sunday morning and speak to an audience of 3 people that have televisions with the turn dial knob missing and pliers are too hard to use to change the channel..so they are stuck watching CBS. If conservatives want to win elections their answer to problems cannot be "the government” or "McCain/Kennedy was not amnesty".

Last point keeping your eyes on your opponent is a sign of strength and confidence. I did not write publicly about this, but I did send the McCain, campaign that I personally thought McCain lost all 3 debates because he would not stand in confidence and speak to Obama. Plus telling everyone he'll cut pork, but then voting for the mortgage bailout that contained nearly a billion dollars worth of pork did not help him either. Oh, and you must not forget, the “I am going to suspend my campaign until we fix this mortgage problem”, only to show up unprepared for the debate that you were not supposed to be at! Way to keep your word. Too much to cover, not enough time.

Is this the America we want, where our votes are silenced by this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU

http://www.breitbart.tv/html/213313.html

I guarantee this would not be tolerated if they were Klansmen for McCain.

This year we have seen every under handed tactic possible used by the liberals to change the outcome of the election. Busing in homeless people to the polls, people voting in their home state via absentee ballot, then voting in another state that allows same day voting.

I love the fact that people are engaging in the political system and it is being expressed through yard signs and bumper stickers. Last night I set out McCain signs along a stretch of Highway N in Wentzville to show my support, as the liberals have done for their candidates. This morning I came by and the signs were stolen!
Here is the deal, if you can’t compete in the arena of ideas you lose.  But liberals are going out of their way to create an image of McCain losing by taking signs in attempt to overwhelm the unwashed into believing that no one supports the McCain Palin ticket, because there are no signs of support. And I’ll say this, if you have to resort to these slimy underhanded tactics to win, you s-u-c-k! If you don’t find a problem with cheating to win  YOU S-U-C-K.  I don’t care if Republicans lose with fair elections and cannot compete in the arena of ideas, but when you slimy pieces of dung resort to cheating YOU are an embarrassment to the world.    Even with the support of the mainstream media covering for the pathetic attempts to steal an election, liberals still have to cheat to even compete!  

The fact is that liberalism is a mental disorder! If it were not so, the liberals would have immediately denounced the lynching scene of Sarah Palin in the front yard of the California homosexual couple. But, Charles Manson doesn’t think that he’s nuts either so I guess it’s expecting too much to think an ethical denouncement could be made by people who completely lack integrity. 

If you don’t have a problem with ACORN cheating; You are unethical!                                             
                                                       
       If you think William Ayers is a patriot. You are an idiot!
If you don’t have a problem with your party portraying a lynching scene of an American political candidate; you are insane!          

Last, if Obama should lose and there are riots because of the loss; that will demonstrate perfectly the insanity of liberalism. Cheat to compete, and riot when you lose. Those who think Obama does not represent the worst in America, should ask why the worst the world has to offer believes that Obama represents them: William Ayers; Reverend G-D D-mn America Wright; the un-holy Fatherless Flager; ACORN; leaders of the PLO all support Obama. The list goes on and on.

In our lives, we are inundated with advertisements from: third world countries, small town communities, hospitals, Catholic Charities and many other organizations requesting a donation for change under the guise "it's for the children." For example the Missouri kills babies initiative was passed in 2006 under the name "Missouri Cures Initiative “and telling people they need to vote for it to save the lives of children. Then you see the children’s hospitals telling us that you have to give, it's for the children. What a manipulative deceptive practice.

 This proposition is a joke! It is obvious when language says “repeal the current individual maximum loss limit for gambling” and “prohibit any future loss limits” that the slimy casino bosses are the ones behind the bill. Casinos are endorsing this bill! You don’t think so? Try increasing the casino tax with out removing the loss limits. See then if the casinos would be “putting children first”.

 While the people will be throwing their money in the toilet and going into debt with one hand, they'll have the other hand out asking you to support their children because "life just wasn't fair to them." How about no! If you want wealth it isn't the lottery, it's called don't waste your money gambling. Spend less than you make..Buy little save a lot. Oh, no but we should somehow feel good about the sorrow these same losers will feel when they realize they have rolled the dice with the money they should have been saving for their kids college, school books and clothes with many of them filing bankruptcy after a gambling induced high! But remember their telling us, it’s “putting kids first.”

Further, to see teachers asking for more money for schools, when that is where the majority of our taxes are already going in the first place is ridiculous! We are taxed to death for the children. The cities and counties tax for the schools; our payroll is subject to school taxes via state taxes that roll into the schools. The lottery was approved in Missouri "for the schools" and Missouri has some of the worst test scores in the country. In my opinion, they should raise accountability of the teachers performance rather than talking about increasing school spending. Moreover, if you are a parent of a child who is not performing, take a look in the mirror. Could it be that you have failed in investing in your own child, by not helping them with homework, teaching them the abc's?

The arrogance of people to continue to ask for more money when more money is not the solution is asinine. Constitutionally there is no right to public schools. Where do these hacks they call teachers get off doing these commercials stating "it won't cost Missourians." Really, what about when the shlub ends up in a financial crisis after a gambling binge, charged up their credit cards, while knowing they would not be able to pay for it! What about the fact that when you tax an industry the dollars spent in that industry do not go as far! Seriously, to see a teacher say such a stupid remark makes me think, that idiot is teaching and they don't understand where taxes come from. Yeah we won't pay for it at all, that is what they said about the mortgage crisis.

If the country were really sincere about fixing the education system, first dump the National Education Association and privatize the school system and allow industries to get paid off of performance and increase school choice. Moreover, hold crappy parents accountable. The school should not serve as a playground so the so called parents could run off and play while someone else entertains their kids for 6 to 8 hours. There is just a slight possibility that your kid’s knowledge base is a direct correlation of the amount of time “YOU” spend with them. Take Prop "A" and shove it!

Senator Reid blames "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid from Nevada told reporters the process of reaching a bill had been set back by "presidential politics," http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/WRA
PUP-2-White-House-calls-in-big-guns-as-bailout--JUNCU?O
penDocument    Yeah that's it. Presidential politics. Now the break down was because Reid and the democrats are proposing we pay for the bill. The republicans offered a seperate proposal. Why the breakdown? Because the only ones who think Barack Obama is the Messiah are the democrats in congress. They came with legislation that they (the democrats) and George Bush agreed on and expected that to be good enough. When an alternative bill was proposed that would include freeing up capital gains in an effort to allow foreign investment. It turned into democrats ranting.

Senator Harry Reid is lecturing Senator John McCain about playing politics with the housing crisis. Perhaps before Harry speaks he should refer back to his own housing scandal that led him to a 1.1 million dollar return; triple his initial investment on a house that he did not legally own. "In 2001, Reid sold the land for the same price to a limited liability corporation created by Brown. The senator didn't disclose the sale on his annual public ethics report or tell Congress he had any stake in Brown's company. He continued to report to Congress that he personally owned the land.

After getting local officials to rezone the property for a shopping center, Brown's company sold the land in 2004 to other developers and Reid took $1.1 million of the proceeds, nearly tripling the senator's investment. Reid reported it to Congress as a personal land sale." http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8KMJ8I00&show
_article=1 Yeah Americans need a lecture from Reid.

So yesterday you got swindled by the democrats as Harry talks profited from corrupt lending and other realestate investments. Senator Reid made 1.1 million dollars on real estate investments that he did not even show ownership. Then played the shell game with investigators. Now he talks about the wealthy, how many of you ordinary people made 1.1 million on property you didn't own. Reid is under investigation for other land deals and now he has chosen to screw us on the housing and banking crisis that he helped to create. Senator Reid, Senator Dodd and House Representative Barney Frank should donate their salaries from their last 5 years congressional pay to show that they are not only willing to stick you with the bill they created, but that they are going to dig in and take ownership of their debacle.

On the Today Show this morning, former President Bill Clinton reviews the policies from his administration and the democratic congress to explain who is responsible. Esentially he admits his administration was wrong, but then goes to say the "economy at the time was booming in other areas." That's right, give high risks home loans because the economy is booming. Perhaps that is why it is not so robust today? Hmmmm.

Today Senator McCain issued a statement that "I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington after speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative. I have spoken to Senator Obama and informed him of my decision and have asked him to join me." This was an effort to take action over the housing and bank crisis. McCain also said "I am calling on the President to convene a meeting with the leadership from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself. It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem." http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/News/Speeches/Re
ad.aspx?guid=3f8dec5a-52e2-44bf-b665-ebac609433a4
 

So Obama now has 2 choices: 1. Show that he is a follower and not a leader and comply with McCain’s request to leave his campaign to work on a bill, in which case McCain receives credit as the isle crossing "Maverick" and Obama is overshadowed. Or 2. Obama defies McCain’s request and tries to issue his own edict in which case he will be shown for someone who isn't willing to work with the other side. Either way, Obama loses on this one.

This is one of the most brilliant moves I've seen in a campaign. Senator McCain truly deserves credit as a leader as he took the initiative to do something. And to those naysayers who blame Bush and the Republicans for the crisis to begin with. Here is evidence that Bush, McCain and the Republicans and Democrat Allen Greenspan tried to take action for this very reason 3 years ago and were stopped by the democrats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHj8-HSi5

As a Christian, sharing my faith could not be of more importance. In doing so, you find many a skeptic that insists upon at "the moment of death all consciousness ends" and therefore they live their lives as if Christ doesn't exist! Well scientist have completed a recent study that proves conscious existence after death and cannot explain it.
To the skeptic, there is "new evidence that demands a verdict" -Josh McDowell

I ask that anyone sincere about knowing the truth read the article. It was written by medical doctors that are not implying deity, they are puzzled. There is no bias in the article, so before you live life like God doesn't exist, you owe it to yourself to examine new evidence.

Here is a sample "  if you look at the mind, consciousness, and the brain, the assumption that the mind and brain are the same thing is fine for most circumstances, because in 99% of circumstances we can't separate the mind and brain; they work at the exactly the same time. But then there are certain extreme examples, like when the brain shuts down, that we see that this assumption may no longer seem to hold true. So a new science is needed in the same way that we had to have a new quantum physics."

The Warren County Sherrif Kevin Harrison and the county prosecutor Michael Wright have not yet brought charges against Wesa-A-Geh-Ya for the mauling that occurred there on August 3, 2008. The Sherriff's office has stated that the information was given to the prosecutor to decide whether charges would be filed against the owners Ken and Sandra Smith.

In review of the facts, the Sherriff's office has stated on many occassions that there are not many laws to protect the animals or to charge the Smith's with.
So here are a couple: How about attempting to destroy evidence and interfering with an investigation? How about falsifying a police report/false information? These are two laws that have nothing to do with animals and everything to do with liars. If the Smith's were honorable as the Sherriff Harrison told the Warrenton Journal, would they have lied? Sherriff Harrison, why would you say the Smith's intentions are honorable? Calling a liar a man of honor is like calling a wife beater a sweet guy.

So forget about the animals for a minute, because for the sake of prosecution there were several laws broken at Wesa-A-Geh-Ya that have nothing to do with animals on August 3. And the fact that the Smiths are blatantly trying to portray themselves as victims, because they are losing the one thing they care about (the animals) yet they are threatening to dig a hole in the backyard and then shooting the animals; it's obvious that the only thing they are trying to do is outrage animal rights activists. It has never been about the animals to the Smiths, it's been about money. Frankly, I hope they shoot them, it'll spare the animals the fate of going to another toilet like Wesa.

Over the years the Smith's have played a game of deception and it's been pretty obvious that people in the Warren County prosecutors office lack discernment and fortitude to do something with the Smith's and their obvioius game of deception. Sandy told the River Front Times (RFT) in an interview in 2002 "informs the USDA, then cremates the body:"I put it back in the earth where it belongs." The reporter asked about the frozen tigers she had in the freezer and Sandy said "Who told you about that?" she asks. "Only a few people know these things." http://www.riverfronttimes.com/2002-09-11/news/wildcat
-strike/2 In the same article Sandy said "I need it to protect my cats against humans," Tigers walk with her in her spirit, she says'".  I believe this to be true because after Sandy and Ken sold the tigers and lions to infamous canned hunter Steve Galecki, it's obvious they were not walking in this life any longer. The animals needed protection from the Smith's and so do the residents of Missouri.

Last Ken and Sandy said that they were not a breeding facility but in fact a "Sanctuary". Sandy told the RFT "In 25 years, we've had about ten babies." Oh really, Sandy if you simply look at the pictures taken from a fund raiser held in September of 2001, you'll see 6 wolves, 5 baby tigers, 2 cougar cubs, several African lion cubs. This was 1 year and numerous animals all under 6 months old. http://www.ramalion.org/photoalbum/thumbnails.php
?album=15 Sandy perhaps you should stop talking when filled with the spirits.

The Smith's are in fact anything but honorable; they are animal poachers, liars, conmen. Tell the Sherriff and Prosecutor that you are watching the way this case is handled. It's not just about the animals, it's about justice. If Warrenton cannot prosecute those who tamper with evidence at a crime scene, what else are they failing to protect us from!

Not a breeding facility?  Picture from the RFT article:  for the whole article: http://www.riverfronttimes.com/2002-09-11/news/wildcat

Even in tragedy the notorious lying Smith's could not even admit wrong after a man loses his leg due to their negligence. Wesa-A-Geh-Ya is the Cherokee word for "Cat Lady", but what is the Cherokee word for "Fat Liar"?

Smith told the Warrenton Journal in a phone interview "Ken Smith shot and killed the tiger." And  "The body was then voluntarily surrendered to the Warren County Sheriff’s Department for disposal." http://warrentonjournal.stltoday.com/articles/2008/08/
04/news/doc489764fd43e24616770142.txt

Contrast this with the Sherriff  "They actively tried to cover it up and mislead us," said Harrison. He said the tiger was shot and killed before authorities arrived, that the site had been cleaned up, and, after they left, the tiger's carcass was taken to another property. Only later in the day were authorities told what really happened, he said."' http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,397922,00.html
   

But in an article by Michelle Munz the story to the Warrenton Journal makes it sound as if Sandra played no part in the unlawful taking of an endangered species when she said that "Ken Smith Shot and killed the tiger. The body was then voluntarily surrendered." Compare that with the story in the St Louis Post:  "The other volunteer shouted for Sandra Smith, who ran out with her gun and distracted the tiger. The tiger leaped at her, and she shot and wounded it, she said. Ken Smith arrived and shot the animal again, killing it." http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/stlo

Now when all else fails Sandra being the blame artist and liar extraordinaire said that it was the planning and zoning department that was at fault. When in 2001 there were numerous fund raisers that were held at Wesa-a-liar for the sole purpose of bulding new cages and Norplant’s for the cats. In one event we brought in over $3000. for building materials and the Smith's mysteriously had new carpet and a large screen TV in their trailer. When asked where they came up with the money, forked tongue Sandy said "we spent all the money on dog food for the wolves." So six “6” wolves ate $3000. dollars of food in a month. Then, Sandy was asked where the food was at the weekend after the fund raiser and the supposed purchase of dog food and she began playing a senile game of "you're gonna have to wait until Kenneth gets home".  I walked out to the cages and dog food was nowhere found, but rotten old cow feet and rancid cattle heads were.

My prayers are with Jacob, but I and many others that served on the board and volunteered there left because an incident like this was inevitable. And Ken and Sandy are to blame. This could have been avoided, if they would have spayed the cats and allowed them to live their lives out in peace and allowed the board to make the improvements to the cages and disclose the records of Wesa. Money was never the issue until the Smith's were proven to bastardize the good will and services that were so freely given to them.

Now the Smith’s are calling Jacob (a victim of the Smith’s negligence) a liar and said that Jacob started the deception of the pit-bull story. Jacob lost his leg and the best the Smith's can do is call him a liar! Further, Sandy's true colors are now being shown for her lack of compassion when making this statement about the cats being euthenised "I'm going to let them do it, because I can't take it anymore,". Sanctuary or sin?

Ken and Sandy you should both be ashamed for what I and many others know that you have done to the animals and I’m sure hell has a special place for you!

Five reasons Wesa-A-Geh-Ya should be shut down

1.      In May it was stated by Honorable Judge Wesley Dalton, that Wesa-A-Geh-Ya is not a sanctuary.

2.      Sanctuaries do not sell their animals to meat processors, taxidermist or canned hunters. Ken and Sandra Smith admitted to selling lions to a Chicago area man Steve Galecki who was prosecuted for this disturbing practice. When is the last time you heard that the St Louis Zoo, was breeding cats so that they can have cubs to bring to the county fair? Never, because legitimate agencies do not do such wicked practices. Ken and Sandra did just that, so that onlookers can have their “pitchers took with one”.-direct quote from the not so honorable Ken Smith Mispellings and all.                                                   
                                                       
  The money from the cubs that the Smith’s brought in from the fair was claimed 501 C3 not for profit?

3.      The Smith’s  representing Wesa-A-Geh-Ya have mislead the public in an attempt to secure donations in which they are not keeping a ledger. They manipulate animal lovers for the sake of their own profit. Ken Smith has said in a recent interview "I don't own dangerous animals," Smith said. "The sanctuary owns the animals. I can't own the animals and be a not-for-profit (organization).” Yet on occasions where people have suggested the state may intervene and remove the cats if Wesa-A-Geh-Ya does not get the breeding under control. Ken said “aint no one gonna tell me what to do with my cats. If they come in they’ll have another Waco on their hands.” Further, Sandra Smith admitted in an interview with the River Front Times, that she would not have sold the animals to Steve Galecki the meat processor had she have known what Steve was going to do with them. So why didn’t the board get a say as to whether or not animals were sold? Last on numerous occasions, it was brought to the Smith’s that a veterinarian could provide Norplant implants for the cats in order to control the population that had grown way beyond manageable, and Ken Smith said “aint no one, butchering my cats with that” and that Ken “thought that it would be illegal to give them Norplant; even though it was already widely used. So Ken only saves butchering for himself and Sandra.

4.      Because of the practices of Ken Smith, he was charged on  06/20/2007 07BB-CR00719 - ST V KENNETH RAY SMITHfor “Keeping Dangerous Wild Animal W/O Registration With Law Enforcement Agency { Misdemeanor C RSMo: 578.023 }”. During this time the Smith’s were playing their usual shell game with the investigators. The numbers were over 70 in 2002, now vary in the 40’s. The Smith’s answer to this drastic fluctuation of numbers is that “the animals were older and were not cared for properly prior to coming to Wesa-A-Geh-Ya”,  the paradise we now know as Wesa-A-Hell hole! That is the word people have cloaked for those road side zoos, who sell their cats to butchers.  It is hard to discern reality from fantasy when the Smith’s are speaking because Sandra always uses a “forked tongue”. Just this year, on 5/13/08 Ken also charged in “08BB-CR00618 - ST V KENNETH RAY SMITH’  “Pursuing/Taking/Killed/Possessed Or Disposed Of Wildlife Illegally { Misdemeanor A RSMo: 252.040 }”’

5.      Lions in the wild may wander a 100 square mile area, and eat once or twice weekly; yet Ken Smith owner of the road side zoo keeps them in cages that are less than 100sq feet.  So you’re thinking why do 400 pound lions and tigers that Ken Smith say’s weigh as much as 800 pounds due to over feeding at his humble abode stay in cages smaller than the average prison inmate? Ken in his infinite wisdom gives this answer: “a son of a bitchin lion sleeps 20 hours a day, and don’t walk all that much. They won’t ever walk every square inch of that cage.”

Anyone who has ever observed the animal torture compound will see that a bite or fatality is inevitable; and who knows what goes on there or what has been unreported. It is also amazing that Ken would take euthanasia duties into his own hands before any investigation was completed. Further, Tigers are endangered and Ken and Sandra should face serious charges.
One must ask themselves why the variance between stories, Ken says he was forth right and told that it was a bite from a tiger. Sandra said it was a pit-bull, my question is what does the official Wesa-A-Gey-Ya board, the so-called rightful owners of the animals say happened. What is the official Wesa-A-Geh-Ya position?

 A bite at the zoo is long overdue, when considering Ken walks in the cages armed with nothing more than four letter words and smacks and kicks to the faces of the animals that are so deprived of stimuli, that they actually come close to the un-bathed Ken Smith seeking attention only to be kicked or swatted down.

Call the Warren County Sherriff and demand justice for these animals and end the practice of the Warrenton roadside zoo. Warren County Sheriff Kevin Harrison
