Coffee Dog, Citifield, Kay Riviello, New York Animal Rights Alliance America

New York Animal Rights Alliance America went to Citifield, Mets, Flushing, NY, stadium to investigate, research and eyewitness the abuse of Coffee Dog. Indeed it was much much worse than we had even thought. The heat index, the restrictive garments, the prop in the dog's mouth restricting ability to pant, the inability of the dog to walk around, inability of the dog to relieve herself, the decibel level of the crowd was "overloading and overdriving" in "inclement weather" in violation of NY State Animal Cruelty Laws. In addition, he is a vendor, not a panhandler, as he is soliciting monies from people in exchange for a pic with the dog AND handing out his business card for "dog training." As if that is not enough, the USDA regulates all "working" and entertainment" animals and of course there is no such oversight here whatsoever.

The New York Animal Rights Alliance America will bring pressure to bear on these agencies to end the abuse of Coffee Dog in this dangerous precedent spectacle at Citifield and apparently at Yankees stadium as well. Please join our group no matter where you are located on Facebook.

According to the law, this dog is being abused and this will be proven in a court of law. So we have bigger fish to fry so we should just let this poor dog sit out there and suffer. Show your colors animal abusers. Go right ahead. I'll continue to fight for justice for animals that are suffering. We are on our way to court. Kay Riviello

BRAVO! He looks exactly as I envisioned him, with his POS trash co-hort right next to him shooting her out of control rabid mouth off.....obviously she needs the shock collar, not poor Coffee. Nice guy teaching those children to exploit animals for PROFIT, great values there muscle head. Disturbing on many different levels. Please know that MANY of us SUPPORT & COMMEND your unwavering efforts! Please keep up the PRESSURE!

I am pleased to see that someone stepped up to the plate regarding Coffee dog. Kay Riviello I applaud you. Thank you for being persistent about this issue and taking the initiative. I have been raising bully breeds for 25 years and I would never consider doing to my pups what "All muscle no brains" is doing to Coffee dog. Many people are going to say there are worse things going on in this world and I am sure there are. However the SHOCK collar is without a doubt UNACCEPTABLE.

If the ASPCA takes coffee away becuz of ur stupidity, ur gonna b the one responsible for killing Coffee cuz once the ASPCA takes coffee away they will put him to sleep. So leave coffee alone!!!!!!!!

Hey stupid, go do ur research on circus animals those are the real victims that are being abused. Y u think elephant, tiger and other wild animals go crazy on their trainers. Wild animals are the real victims and r being exploited. Wild animals should be in their natural environment. Lady go protest on that. Go see videos on circus elephants and see how the trainer trains them by hitting them. Go help the real animals that r being abused. Leave coffee and his owner alone.

People the dog is not being abuse the dog is famous. Stupid crazy lady has nothing better to do but make false claims just becuz she can't be a unlicense vendor. So she claims the dog is being abused. Lady get a real job and stop harassing people that love their animals. The dog was on a tv show and is well trained and loved.

@bekindtoanimals100 I advise you to re-read my posting. I never stated that I BREED Bully Breeds. I stated that I have been RAISING them for over 25 years. YES, they are all rescues. I am sorry but I become easily offended when someone turns my words around. Not once did I state I breed bully breeds. I have my own issues with back yard breeders and irresponsible dog owners. Comprehend what you read before you post. Have a good day.

So, are all the people protesting vegan? If not, that's damned hypocritical. I am tired of puppy and kitty lovers who don't give a shit about other animals.

[bekindtoanimals100]

@Msfeelingnostalgic You breed bully breeds? I hope that you meant you have been rescuing them for years.
