Update on Hope and #JusticeForHopeTheBoxer. I shared my story with you guys last night but it appears my post was deleted. Probably by the Pima Pet Clinic pr guys who have started attacking me personally. Alot of you were sympathetic to my story and I want to let you know that I contacted Hope's owner. They are grieving her murder and the manner in which she was killed but they support all of the decisions that I made.
Some of you critical of my story and attacked me but I would like the chance to answer your questions with a clear mind. It has been very stressful for me trying to get answers and managing our social media campaign for justice.
For those of you who are new:
This is the story of a dog who came to be called Hope, if only or a few short hours.
On Thursday afternoon, I unfortunately hit a young boxer dog who was running through traffic. I do not deny this and take full responsibility. Accidents happen and I have forgiven myself but I now see this as an opportunity to save other animals from suffering at Pima Pet Clinic.

After the accident, myself and several other people who were kind enough to stop took Hope to a nearby veterinary clinic. She had no coller or microchip and wasn't even spayed. I decided to call her Hope. The clinic (Rita Ranch Veterinary hospital) was awesome and cannot be praised highly enough. They stabilized her for 5 hours while we searched desperately for the owner using social media. The doc took x-rays and found out that she multiple pelvic fractures and would need to see a surgery specialist. We called the hospitals that had the ability to do surgery but they were quoting at least $8000 for such a surgery. There was nice retired gentleman who was part of our little band of good samaritans and he was the one paying for everything and so we decided to let him make the decision on how to proceed. He did not want to pay that much to save dog (and I am not blaming him at all, after all this was not even= his dog). Continued
>>
I was able to convince him not to take her to animal control or the humane society as they surely would have euthanized her. We found ourselves at Pima Pet Clinic, a cheaper clinic that could give her supportive care through the night, giving us time to find her owners who may be able to pay for her surgery. Once at the clinic, they demanded 1100 just to stabilize her overnight with fluids and pain medication and a urinary catheter. They said we would still have to come back to get her in the morning and take her to a specialist unless the owner came forward. Again, no one in our group could afford this amount of money and these clinics were all on the other side of town very inconveintly located. The leader of our group again declined to pay for this which was a fair decision on his part (I'm not blaming him). The veterinarian at Pima Pet Clinic said he could sign the dog over as an injured stray and they would do what is humane for her at no cost Little did we know that we were signing hope's death sentence. The veterinarian said they would assess her and may continue to stabilize her or they may put her to sleep if they felt she was suffering. Hope was stable when we left her at that clinic. I then began reaching out to rescue groups on line. My pleas for financial help were picking up and two rescue organizations stepped forward to pay for her bill at Pima Pet Clinic so she did not have to be euthanised. Everyone started to call the clinic but they refused to give updates AND REFUS ED THE FREAKING MONEY!!! All they wanted was money to start within a few hours we had raised nearly enough and they turned it down. It turns out they had euthanised her less then two hours after we had been there. We knew that she might euthanise when we signed her over, but we wanted her kept stable and eventually raised the money to keep her alive. They had no reason to euthanise her. We want answers. We came up with money for her and they still killed her.
>>
Here is the facebook message that started it all. Within less then 24 hours, we were able to decrease their facebook rating from 4.7 to 2.2 and dropping!!!!

We still do not have answer as to why hope was euthanised. They are claiming that she developed pulmonary contusions. This is a lie. When we left her there she was stable and perfectly fine. They refused to even tell us that the dog had been euthanised until we hounded them with hundreds of calls. They finally called the man who was handling all the decisions and told him to tell us and get us to calm down. However, here is where they shot themselves in the foot: they initially told people calling that they cannot release information about Hope due to privaciy laws. But then, after things started to blow up and go viral on social media they broke their own law. I discuss this contradiction in my interview. Attached is the raw uncut footage of my new interview and we will see that there are no inconsistencies in MY version of even. Over 12 hours after inciident they posted a statement on their facebook page, which is full of inconsistencies and out right lies.
>>
Holy shit, you and your little group of Samaritans need to get a fucking life.
>>
Last night some people were speaking out in defense of Pima Pet Clinic. However, this was not the only time people have complained about this place. Previous reviews show that they are greedy and only care about money and will kill animals that have no money.

I have nothing against the clinic personally. I and many of the rescue groups who have joined in to help Hope have decided to bring these issues to attention of the public and if they choose to shut these murders down then that is how it should be.
We want their license revoked. We won't let this matter rest. We demand Justice For Hope The Boxer. I will post our long term strategy next.
>>
The plan:
We will continue to share Hopes story on all forms of social media.

We will file a complaint with the state board they acted illegally by releasing Hope's information (they admitted this themselves). We plan to hold a candle light vigil outside of the Veterinary Medical Review board until they address the complaints against Pima Pet Clinic.

I will continue to conduct interviews (trying to work on a national interview). Also, please noted that Pima Pet Clinic attempted to sabotage my interview which was supposed to air last night. They kept the reporter at their clinic for 45 minutes before starting, claiming there was an emergency. They thus started my interview late and were unable to air it in time.

We are protesting outside of their clinic today-- if you are in the Tucson are please join us.

#JusticeForHopeTheBoxer.

>>723579237
>national interview
Jesus Christ bro. Why care this much about some random animal you ran over
>>
Fuck Tucson
>>
My goal with sharing this with you is make this go mega viral.

I hope that we will continue to call the clinic non-stop until they answer our questions and admit what they did. For the phone campaign to work we need more people. Why did they refuse our donations???? It makes no sense. . For this to work we need more people.

This is not the first time Pima Pet Clinic has acted in an unscrupulous manner. They have been allowed to conduct a reign of terror on the innocent animals of Tucson for far far too long.

Help us gain national attention. Share my story with everyone you know. Together we can take down these veterinarians/murders.

Join the fight for justice adn answers. Here is the facebook thread where you can contribute.
>>
>>723580171
That's obviously the issue. He is the reason the dog is dead, and he's started this odd campaign to appease the guilt
>>
OP is literally trying to cause a shitstorm to avert everyone from the fact that this is 100% his fault. You signed the dog over to be killed How could you possibly think "doing what's humane" meant anything but killing it?
>>
>>723579406
OP fucked up by running him over, sure. But was denied any chance to really do the right thing, for the owners or the animal because of the vet clinic. Doctors (be it for people or animal) have oaths and standards that should always be taken seriously, it's something to live by when you're treating. You do not belong in the medical profession in any capacity if you're looking to just make a quick buck. That happens too often and is a rampant problem despite those oaths existing for a reason.
>>

>I shared my story with you guys last night but it appears my post was deleted.

Nigger, this is /b/. Threads die like the cast of Game of Thrones here. Nobody is hounding you, you egomaniac.
>>
Holy shit this is real? what in the actual fuck.
>>
Wait, what did the clinic do wrong? You didn't want to pay to treat a badly injured dog, so they killed it with your permission. This is a vet clinic, not a charity. You hurt the dog, so you should pay for it.
>>
>>723580754
Is a dog being euthanized national news material, in your opinion? OP is blowing this way out of proportion. Who cares, honestly
>>
>>723580916
This

They're a business. They owe you nothing and they acted within their legal bounds. You signed the papers; they are not the demons you are pretending they are, YOU killed the dog through your ignorance of the agreement.

Just being honest with you here.
>>
>>723580960
I'm not arguing that, I personally don't think it's something that needs to be national. Having their license revoked and the clinic shut down after a shitstorm especially when violating privacy laws should ensure whatever justice OP is seeking. I'm explaining why it is an issue people can care about. People have made national news for less, that's a 24 hour news cycle for you.
>>
>>723581132
OP killed a dog and wants to blame someone else. Is that really newsworthy?
>>
>>723577321
>>723577604
>I do not deny this and take full responsibility.

> find her owners who may be able to pay for her surgery.
>>
>>723581319
He means he takes full responsibility when it's virtue signalling...but not when money is involved.
>>
>>723579573
This. I didn't realize we lived in a town with such shitty vets. Oh well.
>>
>>723581260
I just said it wasn't worthy for national news. As far as local, what people decide in their own communities and what the news decides is worthy to report on isn't something I give a fuck about. It's up to them and their communities. My issues is the oath violation regardless of OP hitting a dog or wanting to shift the blame. My issue is the OATH. As someone who has worked in the medical industry and has a family of doctors and nurses, it means more to me than any other aspect of this story.
>>
>>723581319
He doesn't take full responsibility. He blames the clinic for his contractual fuck up.
>>
My friends mom had a dog that was euthanized here. A few years later she got married and wore crotchless panties under her wedding dress - which I jerked off into. Things come full circle.
>>
>>723577321
OP you're fucking retarded this is your fault dont point fingers to anyone THIS IS ALL YOU!! faggot.
>>
>>723577321
Look, friend. I sympathize, but /b/ is not "social media". I guess you probably heard about 4chan on the news, since you're clearly not a regular here, and figured we're just another reddit or Facebook or whatever, but it ain't like that. This is the wrong place for this kind of shit.

Now, kindly GTFO my /b/ and quit shitting the place up with your normie problems.
>>
Thanks, I knew you guys would see our point of view. They are really trying hard to defend themselves. Last night they had a bunch of other vets from all over the country trying to defend their medical decisions and crying about how they have to pay saleries and it takes money for the clinic to operate. Well I can go to any human dr. and get what needs done done. They would kill me over a shattered pelvis and pulmonary contusions (which is just a fancy way of saying lung bruising).
They had the fucking nerve to say this is why veterinarians have the highest suicide rate. Fuck them. Maybe they have the highest suicide rate because they fucking murder animals and then defend murderers.
I had to delete so many of their cronies from the main facebook thread last night. They are trying to make us lose sight of the real issue.

Let's get em guys!!
>>
Is this place in Arizona?
>>
>>723581359
>>723581498
This. And now he wants people to tell him he's a good person and it's all that evil vet's fault.
>>
>>723581470
1st off - it was a dog, not a human you PETAfag.

2nd - they broke the "OATH" to calm your faggot ass down.

3rd - They gave you 2 chances to pay to keep this dog alive and with your group neither was accepted.

4th - They did what was in best interest of the dog FOR FREE!!! [That I find hard to believe, but good on them.]

>shut your faggot hole about going nationally in the media about them breaking an "OATH"
>>
>>723582282
I should also point out, OP said the other clinics that wouldn't have killed the dog were located across town and were inconveniently located.

So he cared enough for the dog to post all this shit, but enough to drive 20 minutes or so.

Fuck OP.

Yup, Tucson, Arizona. Pima Pet Clinic. If you are local come down and protest outside of the clinic. Don't let Hope have died in vain.
>>
>>723582282
People are just shitty about killing dogs. They keep them alive for weeks after their kidneys fail and go blind or paralyzed. When a dog gets hit by a car you put it out of its misery don't drop 8000 to "save it" by the way even if they stabilized it it would still be in constant pain, you'd need to place and replace catheters ever time it needs to go to the rest room, and there would be more check ups and medication.
And even after that it will still never walk again
>>
>>723577321
nobody cares about your shit tier dog
>>
>>723582282
Oh man, look at you type you impressive keyboard warrior you. Quit acting like I'm defending OP or his desire to go to he news. Everyone is an asshole in this situation, the OP, the vet, the owners. But if it helps you feel better, go on another rant about how I'm sucking his dick.
>>
I would definitely help out with this if I thought there was a possibility that one of those girls would see what a nice guy I am and have sex with me
>>
I just want to clarify something. The other clinics weren't just far from the first vet we took Hope to. They wanted an exorbiant amount of money. Apparently Pima Pet Clinic is the only 24 hour clinic in Tucson that will let people sign dogs over as strays if they can't pay. But why, if they are just going to kill them???? They post shit about how much they have given to animals for free but why wasn't Hope given anything??? Because they are obviously fucking lying.
>>
>>723582282
>it was a dog, not a human
I care more about my dog than I do most people. I'd put a knife in your stomach and gut you like a fish if I thought it would save my dog's life
>>
This is stupid. The dog was injured so badly it was going to cost nearly 10 grand for surgery and then you'd have rehab on top of that. The vet made the hard choice that your pansy ass was too scared to make. Fuck you for wanting that dog to suffer.
>>
>>723583167
I wanted that dog comfortably numb from a morphine drip
>>
>>723583130
you'd kill a human to save a random dog?

If you're talking about your dog vs unknown human, then of course.

I'd gut you to save my tv
>>
>>723583279
Then why didn't you fucking pay for it?
>>
>>723583130
Whole different scenario here, hunny.

And If you *think* your dog would be better off going through the surgery to live a crippled life you might wanna reconsider how much you care about it too.
>>
I just need to clarify something. The other clinics weren't just too far, that was not the main issue. The other clinics were quoting really high prices and would not work with us even to stabilize her and give her chance. Pima Pet Clinic is the only 24 hour vet that will take strays without payment. But why bother if you are going to just kill every poor dog???? Better to just let them suffer if you are going to kill them for being injured. I mean they posted lies about how much money they have given to help injured strays but that is bullshit because why didn't they give Hope anything??? See the inconsistencies here? Understand the communities frustration. We had no other option. humane society and animal control would have killed her almost immediately. We were told Pima Pet Clinic would make a humane decision based on her status. She was fine we left. Then they killed her.
>>
>>723583130

you are all that is wrong with the world.
>>
I rescued an animal with a broken leg.

The shelter told me straight up if I don't adopt her, she's dead.

There are basically 0 free spots available for animals. They keep the ones they think have a chance at adoption.

Apparently nobody adopts the crippled animals, so they don't even try.

The only hope Hope had was that one of the good Samaritans rescue her.

It's nice that you think bringing her to the vet is rescuing her, but that's the start.
You would have had to take responsibility for her whole life, pay her bill, then find an owner willing to either pay you $8000 for the dog, or you'd have to eat the cost.

Vets aren't npc animal fixers, they have to earn a living too.
>>
>>723583561
They're not a charity. This shit all costs money that you weren't willing to pony up, either. You did this damage and refused to take responsibility for it and now are trying to shirk the weight outcome of your shit driving onto someone else who at least tries to help.

It is harder to get into vet school than medical college. These guys have one of the highest rates of suicide. They spend a long time dealing with really shitty situations and people like yourself who aren't willing to take responsibility for their actions. Fuck you for your inability to make the right calls or fix your shit.

I've lurked on 4chan for years and this you take the cake for the most cancerous piece of shit I've ever seen on here.

I hope you're just a troll who is getting me good because thinking someone can actually be this stupid and cruel is mindboggling.
>>
>>723583350
I'd gut you for no reason other than causing you pain
>>
>>723584020
Well I'd gut you because you might be a guy thinking about gutting me!

I'll gut your mother!
I'll gut every motherfucking last one of ya!
>>
As a vet tech what that hospital did was disgusting! While yes OP hit the dog he has no legal obligation to even pick up the dog. In fact if the owner came forward he could sue for the damage to his vehicle or if the judge is super nice emotional damage. That dog could have been saved. At my hospital we are next to a highway and we have gone out to get injured dogs and cats and stabilized them until owners were found. Im sorry you had to go through this but there are records that explain what they did.
>>
I did find the righful owners last night. They do not blame me for the decisions and understand that I had to make difficult choices. They too are demanding answers from Pima Pet Clinic. They said the veterinarian called and explained the injuries. It is our opinion that they should have kept the dog alive long enough for the owners to make the deicision.
>>

>>723584366
If you want your opinion to have mattered maybe you shouldn't have signed the dog over to the clinic with the explicit understanding they'd do what best?

Fuck how can you be this dense. Are you that Leyla Canstino chick? Cause she certainly looks like she might be this retarded.
>>
>>723584465
If only you'd know it was going to be her last day on earth, you could have spent some time pleasuring her instead of being a selfish dick thinking only of your own needs
>>
You are vet tech. Go post your medical opinion on my facebook message. This is insane. You cannot kill animals just because they have no money. I have contacted others in the veterinary feild. If what Pima Pet Clinic says is true, Hope's injuries could have been stabilized with oxygen, fluids and pain medication. There are ways to manage urine in dogs who cannot walk. If she really started coughing up blood like they told the owners then Hope could have had tube placed in her trachea and ventilated.
Understand, that they finally detailed the extent of Hope's injuries to the owner. I have it all second hand from them. They still will not answer MY questions about what happened to Hope. I was the one who brought her in and then raised money afterwards that would have covered fluids and pain medication overnight (money they refused because they had ALREADY KILLED HER!!!)

>We want to respond to the inquiries regarding the lost female boxer who was hit by a vehicle yesterday afternoon. She was taken to another clinic after the incident, where x-rays and other tests were performed. According to their records, it was determined that the injuries were significant. She was suffering from multiple pelvic fractures and pulmonary contusions. The clinic recommended she be taken to one of two board certified surgeons in the Tucson area. The Good Samaritan refused and took her to another veterinary clinic, which made the same recommendation. The Good Samaritan again refused and brought her to us.
>>
>>723587143
>It is the policy of our clinic to accept, treat, stabilize and relieve pain and suffering of injured, stray pets until they can be transferred to Pima Animal Control, the Humane Society, a rescue group or until their owners can be found. We do our best to give these pets the best possible care. The vast majority of these pets come in with no identification tag or micro chip. If the injuries are considered too severe for treatment, humane euthanasia is performed. We informed the Good Samaritan that we would provide supportive care if we deemed it to be humane. Based on x-rays and tests, we concurred with the other clinic that the significant pelvic fractures required surgery from a board certified surgeon. Managing this case conservatively would require 1 to 2 months of cage rest, which would not be practical in this situation. Attempting to manage fractures of this severity with cage rest would likely result in numerous complications, including urine scalding and significant pain. This coupled with the pulmonary contusions and other injuries which caused internal bleeding, led us to the opinion that it would not have been humane to subject her to such prolonged discomfort, especially with an extremely uncertain outcome.
>>
>>723587186
As far as this case is concerned, we didn’t ask for or receive any compensation. During the past 12 months, our Good Samaritan Program, which has been in existence since 1984, provided nearly $30,000 in free services to the community for the care and treatment of stray, injured animals. And, we are committed to continuing this practice in the future.

If they really give so much money why wasn't it given to Hope??? Come on, this is bullshit.
I am not ignoring the people who disagree, I am trying to recruit an army to fight for justice, not change so many minds. If I were wrong, there wouldn't be so many people agreeing with me. Just look at the facebook. No one speaking out for Pima Pet Clinic. They tried to recruit a bunch of their vet friends to change people minds to save their business but I deleted those. Now as they speak they are paying people to give them a good facebook rating. That's what they care about -- their facebook rating while poor hope is dead. They have no shame. Pathetic. We'll see how much good a facebook rating does them when we shut them down. They will spend all their time answering our calls. Some people are recording the calls to prove how rude they are and how they hang up when hope is mentioned. It's getting bad for them. Justice!!
