Threats from the Liberty Humane Society

Today I received a letter from Howard Z. Myerowitz, the attorney for the Liberty Humane Society. That would be the Liberty Humane Society that has failed state heath department inspections. That would be the Liberty Humane Society that has filed a SLAPP lawsuit against its critics. That would be the Liberty Humane Society that has admitted to mass killings of animals. That would be the scandal plagued Liberty Humane Society. That would be the taxpayer funded, scandal plagued Liberty Humane Society. That would be the Liberty Humane Society that appears incapable of running an animal shelter, and appears only capable of threatening people who cares about animal welfare. That would be the Liberty Humane Society, whose attorney, Howard Z. Myerowitz, apparently never heard of freedom of the press and freedom of speech.

Do you want to know why Facebook group after Facebook group critical of the Liberty Humane Society has been deleted? If you do, ask Mr. Myerowitz, as credible allegations have been made that he sent numerous threatening letters to Facebook. It appears that the politically connected Mr. Myerowitz has never heard of Americans' constitutional right to free speech.

Yesterday, it appears that examiner.com received the same threatening letter that I received today. Examiner.com then did Mr. Myerowitz's dirty work even better than he could have hoped for. Not only did examiner.com delete the articles that Mr.Myerowitz objected to, they deleted all my articles about all animal shelters, including ones concerning the Liberty Humane society that Mr. Myerwoitz did not object to.

Mr. Myerowitz, I received your letter in which you groundlessly accuse me of reckless disregard for the truth. If you felt any of the articles I wrote were in error, you were and are free to provide me with any evidence to support your opinion, including the judge's decision you mentioned in your letter. Yet you chose not to do that. You chose not to contact me prior to your threats of legal action. Why is that? Surely, if you were concerned with the truth as you claim, you could have asked me to correct articles you feel are factually inaccurate. But no, that is not what did. Instead of that, you threatened legal action and demanded that public allegations of wrong doing by your client be removed from the examiner.com. That sir, stinks of a cover-up; not justice, but a cover-up implemented with threats and intimidation, just as your SLAPP lawsuit stinks of intimidation.

As for your letter, you lied in your letter when you accused of me of personal relationship with people I have never met. You lied when you accused me of "failed to perform due diligence" and "have acted at all times with reckless disregard for the truth." If you lied about these things, what else have you lied about?

By the way, feel free to send me a copy of the judge's opinion that you claimed exonerates your client. If it says what you claim, I may even write about that.

The stench of a cover-up

Liberty Humane Society (LHS) in Jersey City, NJ has failed state health department inspections. One Board member was charged with criminal conduct. Rumors and credible allegations of animal cruelty, shelter mismanagement and mass murder of animals in LHS care have swirled around this "shelter" for approximately one-year.

Yet rather than correct the apparent deficiencies in this "shelter," "shelter" management has apparently spent all their time engaged in a vile cover-up of their apparent wrong doing at this taxpayer funded "shelter."

Every Facebook group started by "shelter" critics has suddenly been made to disappear. Critics of this "shelter" have been hit with a SLAPP suit. Now, all my LHS articles on examiner.com have suddenly been made to disappear as well.

Meanwhile, the politicians that are supposed to oversee this taxpayer run shelter are all AWOL.

The stench of cover-up and scandal clings to this "shelter" like files on a pile of sh*t.
