The Kelly-Griggs House Museum 50th Ice Cream Social organizers are in the midst of putting together a parlor sale and silent auction and are seeking donations of nice items to add to the treasures already available for sale at the Aug. 13 event. All donations are appreciated and those interested in donating items to the parlor sale can call 527-1129. All money raised at the ice cream social goes toward the building fund that will help with rehabilitation of the south wall and foundation, which is the priority of many areas needing at- tention. The ice cream social will be noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 13, at the museum, 311 Washington St. The cost is $5 each. KELLY-GRIGGS Museum seeks donations for parlor sale at Ice Cream Social On Friday, July 29, life- long resident of Red Bluff, author and columnist Mr. Rob- ert Minch, in his "I Say" column wrote, "Best Left Un- read depart- ment: In the Daily News, 'A Rancho Tehama woman was con- victed of animal cruelty.' Nothing left to see here, folks. Let's move on." I would like to ask, "What is "best" about turning a blind eye to abuse… any abuse?" Are we supposed to "move on" because the perpetra- tor was from Rancho Te- hama, or because she was convicted of animal cru- elty and it wasn't nearly as exciting a tidbit as know- ing that Mr. Minch and his wife seldom peruse the books of their own li- brary? I disagree strongly with Mr. Minch that there is "nothing left to see." There is, in fact, plenty "to see" regarding animal cru- elty and its impact on soci- ety. But please, let's move on. The Massachusetts So- ciety of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Northeastern University found that 70% of peo- ple who committed vio- lent crimes against an- imals also had records for other crimes. Animal abusers were found to be five times more likely to commit violent crimes against people, four times more likely to com- mit property crimes and three times more likely to have a record for drug or disorderly-conduct of- fenses. Tehama Coun- ty's District Attorney, Greg Cohen, on the coun- ty's website states, "Over the course of the last two years, I have seen an in- crease in violent crimes committed within our County… Whether it be traffic, narcotics, theft- related, or violent of- fenses, our county's crim- inal population appears to be unwilling to stop their conduct… Based on the rising crime rate and increase in violent crime, these changes have proven to be a disaster for us in Tehama County." Might we consider that cruelty to animals by in- dividuals within our com- munity has the distinct potential of further jeop- ardizing the safety of the community where we live? But please, let's move on. Pet abuse is one of the four predictors of domes- tic violence, according to a study conducted in 11 metropolitan cities. Re- search also notes that be- tween 71% and 83% of women entering shelters state that their domes- tic partner had abused or killed the family pet. In addition, other stud- ies noted pet abuse oc- curred in 88% of families being overseen for phys- ical abuse of their own children. Further research has shown that 30% of children who have been the victims of abuse or witnessed domestic vio- lence have gone on to per- form their own acts of an- imal cruelty. According to Robert K. Ressler, who de- veloped profiles of serial killers for the FBI, "Mur- derers...very often start out by killing and tortur- ing animals as kids." We know also that history is replete with serial kill- ers who were first ani- mal abusers, Albert De- Salvo and Jeffrey Dahmer to name a couple. Some of the violence that has oc- curred in schools in re- cent years began with cruelty to animals. Ex- amples are Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who shot and killed 12 stu- dents at Columbine High School. Both spoke of mu- tilating animals to their classmates. Many numer- ous documented studies show the definite connec- tion between acts of cru- elty to animals and vio- lence toward others in- cluding, but not limited to, child physical and sex- ual abuse, spousal abuse, elder abuse, and other forms of violent predatory behavior. But please, let's move on. Animal hoarding, an- other form of animal cru- elty, is the accumulation of large numbers of ani- mals in extremely unsan- itary conditions. It often results in the death of an- imals and can have seri- ous health consequences for the people who are living with them. Al- though hoarders may not be involved in violent crimes, they may need so- cial or mental health ser- vices. In many instances, these individuals have children or dependent adults living in the same filthy conditions as the suffering animals. Hoard- ing cases often involve the intervention of multi- ple government agencies whose costs can be con- siderable. The degree of this type of animal cru- elty can be a major prob- lem from the standpoint of public health and ulti- mately to the communi- ty's tax paying citizens. But please, let's move on. All of us must ac- knowledge that the abuse of any living being is un- acceptable and can ulti- mately endanger every- one. Cruelty to animals is a significant form of an- tisocial behavior, and un- derstanding and address- ing it as individuals and communities can help curtail the spread of vi- olence. When any mem- ber of our community dis- plays an outlook that sug- gests a detachment about the cruel treatment of an- imals, it assists in provid- ing a foundation where vi- olence can flourish. But please, let's move on. RonnieCaseyisvice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter. She can be reached at rmcredbluff@ gmail.com.
