EMBLEMCLUB RedBluffclubinstallsnewpresident Dr. Chew Yuen, prom- inent local Chinese mer- chant, received a telephone message Saturday after- noon from San Francisco announcing the death of Lung Ti Quong, one of the four leaders of the Chinese monarchial army. The messaged came from the headquarters of the Chinese Nationalist League, and is in the na- ture of good news for the members of the league. The Nationalists are on the side of the revolution- ary forces in China who are attempting to secure a republic that is worthy of the name. Lung Ti Quong was commander-in-chief of the army of the state of Canton. His death is taken here to mean that his army has turned against him, siding in with the revolutionists. Should such be the case it will mean that the revo- lutionary forces will now control Canton, one of the most if not the most important provinces of China and will have a sea port under control through which they can receive supplies. — April 2, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...

They were my he- roes. Some of them were real, others were not, but each one followed a code of moral ethics, persevered in the face of adversity, and were dedicated to help- ing those who could not help themselves. They had honor and integrity. Now- adays, there simply are not enough heroes and, in my opinion, if you cannot dis- play the qualities of ad- mirable character, then at least do not be cruel. For this article, I am not talking about animal cru- elty. What I am discuss- ing is a development that is occurring frequently on social media. Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. are su- perb venues for animal ad- vocacy groups, rescues, and shelters to network animals in need, spread awareness about welfare issues and promote events. However, if you spend much time on these sites, you will come across a number of individuals who are just downright nasty and cruel. They appear to take pleasure in spreading rumors, damaging repu- tations, broadcasting half- truths, and often acting as self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner, all of which they accomplish in a few posts and comments. Do not let anyone kid you, this is bullying. While it may not be the elementary or high school variety, it is definitely not benign. It is called cyberbullying and it can happen to anyone. Unfortunately, cyber- bullying has surfaced as a disturbing trend in ani- mal advocacy and rescue work. Believe it or not, even charitable organiza- tions and veterinarians are not immune to this unacceptable behavior. It is important to remem- ber that animal advocates and rescuers are just ordi- nary people who are try- ing to do the best that they can for animals in need. These people spend days networking, trans- porting, fostering, volun- teering at shelters, or res- cuing animals to facilitate their adoption. They of- ten put their own life and needs on hold while also devoting an extraordinary amount of time, energy, and money to aid and sup- port these helpless crea- tures. It is unclear what the motivation is but, whatever the reason may be, cyberbullying within the animal welfare/rescue community causes unbe- lievable harm. Cyberbullying extracts a huge emotional toll on the target. It also has the potential to dissuade many others from trying to be an advocate or res- cuer and, perhaps most of all, it takes time away from the true goal of help- ing the helpless. If we are dealing with these peo- ple, we are not working on everything else vital to protect and save animals. Programs to improve ani- mal welfare, transporting, fostering, rescuing, fun- draising for crucial reve- nues necessary to provide food, shelter, medical, etc. all take a back seat be- cause of the need to pro- tect reputations that years of painstaking work have built. Perhaps the worst part is that these cyberbullies claim they are also ani- mal welfare advocates. They vocalize vehemently on how they have noth- ing but the best interests of the animal in mind. Yet, instead of assisting, they merely agitate and incite. For those of us involved with animal welfare, it is difficult enough to deal with the end- result of con- stant heartless acts perpet- uated on the animals with- out having to deal with the aggressive acts of suppos- edly "one of our own." What can we do pre- vent cyberbullying? We can report abuse and ha- rassment. Facebook, for example, provides infor- mation at https://www. facebook.com/help/re- portlinks on what to do, depending upon where the abusive content is lo- cated. We can block or delete offenders from our sites. If you are a by- stander (not the person or group targeted) step up on behalf of the vic- tim and encourage oth- ers to do the same. Do not spread malicious gossip and, if you see or hear see something that is wrong, inform the person or group being besieged, for they may not be aware. It takes courage for some- one to step up on behalf of a bully's victim, but re- member that using insults or threats to defend does nothing to diffuse or aid a situation. The positive, life-sav- ing results of those active within the animal wel- fare community speak for themselves. They have strength of character, they persevere against tre- mendous odds, they work together towards a com- mon goal, and they posi- tively encourage others to do the same. For the an- imals that benefit, these people are true heroes! If you do not wish to work alongside these individu- als and get in the trenches with them, then do not hinder or hurt them. Do not become a villain. Not one animal has ever been saved by online harass- ment, verbal abuse, or acts of cruelty. RonnieCaseyisvice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter.
