I want to thank you Mary - for being Tony's friend AND for keeping us informed of his life, as wretched as it is! Getting to see his truth through your videos is necessary, to keep him in our thoughts and prayers, and to keep us on our toes so WE get him out of that damned hell hole! What YOU have done for Tony is powerful. Please know every time you stop and film that, WE are watching and often with tears in our eyes too. Sincerely, Tony's friend and fellow Tony supporter "

THANK YOU so much for your kind words. I appreciate this so very much...this brings tears to my eyes. And as a constant and daily reminder for us ALL to keep Tony in our thoughts and prayers, I have posted your words in my Profile under NEVER DELETE.

Thanks also to ALL of Tony's friends and supporters across the world. We are ALL in this together.

Louisiana Wildlife Fisheries Dept will not renew permit that expires Dec 2011 ONLY because of the legal efforts of the Animal Legal Defense Fund.
ALDF UPDATE:
AUG 15, 2011: ALDF lawyers were in court today to defend against Sandlin's attempt to get our case dismissed. In another victory for Tony, the judge denied Sandlin's motion. This means the case will continue to move forward. The Court has set a hearing date of September 15 for ALDF's motion for a mandatory injunction, which seeks an immediate revocation of Sandlin's permit to keep Tony.

Please see my Profile for RECENT UPDATES concerning this ONGOING legal bs with sandbag..appeal appeal appeal...arse hole...for sure he is...

[cloversweed]

ALDF Update Nov 2, 2011: Great news from Baton Rouge, LA: Judge Michael Caldwell has ruled in favor of the ALDF and LA taxpayers in lawsuit to free Tony the Tiger from the Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete,LA. Caldwell agreed with ALDF's argument that the permit that allows Sandlin to keep Tony was unlawfully issued by the LDWF.

[cloversweed]

The judge ordered the LDWF to revoke current permit and prohibited issuance of any new permits to the Truck Stop."We are thrilled that the court made the right decision," says ALDF Exec Dir Stephen Wells. "We will continue to do everything we can to make sure Tony's next home is a reputable, accredited sanctuary that can give Tony the life he deserves."

ALDF Update September 20, 2011:

The court has scheduled two new hearings in the Tony the Tiger case. On October 17th, the court will hear the State’s exceptions, which challenge the plaintiffs’ standing to bring the case. On November 2nd, the court will hear ALDF’s motion for a permanent injunction to revoke the permit that lets Michael Sandlin confine Tony at the Tiger Truck Stop.

I guess... I haven't seen anywhere yet, how LONG has Tony been in this cage? I didn't remember how drab and bland the place was before Sandlin had it painted. Boy... not nice!
