John Robbins is again breathing the air of free- dom under bonds of $250 as the result of filing a writ of habeas corpus by attorney J. T. Matlock in the Appellate Court at Sacramento yesterday morning. Robbins was re- leased from jail at 9:30 o'clock last night, less than 24 hours after he had sur- rendered himself to dep- uty sheriff Harry McGov- ern and requested that he be locked up. The date for arguing the habeas corpus pro- ceedings before the higher court has not yet been set. The writ was denied Rob- bins by Judge Ellison in the superior court of this county after the case was argued before him. — April 25, 1915 100YEARSAGO...

However, being upset or outraged will not change anything unless action is borne. Last week's article covered recognizing animal abuse, the important first action for us to take. This week will feature what other actions you can gener- ate to help abused animals. Once you notice signs of abuse or neglect, it is vital to the animal's welfare that you report it immediately to the local authorities. In the city limits of Red Bluff, call the Red Bluff Police Depart- ment (527-3131). In the city limits of Corning, call the Corning Police Department (824-7000). Anywhere in Te- hama County other than the above locations, call the Te- hama County Sheriff's Office (529-7900 ext. 1). Provide as much infor- mation as you possibly can when reporting abusive situ- ations. Any details provided can go a long way towards assisting investigating offi- cers. Be sure to write down a factual statement of what you witnessed, who was in- volved, the date and time of the incident, and where the abuse occurred. Vid- eos and photographs can also help. If there are oth- ers who have also witnessed the incident, be sure to pro- vide their names. Please, do not be hesitant about stand- ing up for those who cannot speak. Abused animals have no chance for survival un- less we do the right thing. If you do not receive a response within a reason- able period, do not hesitate to contact a supervisor. If you are still not getting an appropriate response, con- tact the Tehama County District Attorney's office (527-3053), or your local government representa- tive, or, if all else fails, the media. Animal cruelty is a heinous crime. In fact, the Federal Bureau of Investi- gation has classified ani- mal cruelty — like arson, burglary, kidnapping and homicide — a Group A fel- ony. If a crime is commit- ted against an animal un- der the new classifica- tion, it will be considered a "crime against society". If we truly wish to create a safer community, it is imperative that our local law enforcement and pros- ecutors also take animal cruelty seriously. Children are our hope for the future and it is through us that they learn how to treat animals with compas- sion and kindness. By being strong role models, whether we are guardians, relatives, friends, or people of author- ity, children will mimic and practice the same acts of charity, care, and respect to animals that we display. If we truly desire to lessen the cruelty inflicted upon an- imals, we must start with the children. Advocate for improved anti-cruelty laws and leg- islation fostering kind- ness to animals on federal, state, and local levels. Our laws must allow animal control officers, prosecu- tors, and judges to expedi- ently and effectively pur- sue and prosecute cruelty and abuse issues. If we are not satisfied that animals are designated as prop- erty, then work towards a change. Legislatures and courts will only recognize their obligation to protect animals if society fervently demands that they do so. Margaret Mead stated, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, com- mitted citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Become a concerned com- mitted citizen. Support local shelters and rescue organizations. These are the people in the trenches, dealing with the aftermath of cruelty. Most work with extremely lim- ited finances and available resources. Foster or adopt a homeless animal. Volun- teer your time and abilities. There are many ways you can be of assistance. Any one of these organizations would be happy to discuss their needs with you. Donate supplies or money. Both are often in short supply. The bottom line is, the more re- sources these unsung heroes can acquire, the greater the assistance they can provide to the many casualties of abuse. We may wonder if we, as individuals, have any power to stop animal abuse. I say that we do. Sig- nificant, effective changes will not occur overnight. However, each day we see a bit of progress occur- ring. Each positive small act taken in the right direc- tion brings us closer to our goal of ensuring that every animal is treated with the kindness and compassion it deserves.
