Vanessa Beall and Judith Beall

Chained in Moreno Valley, CA, June 29, 9am-9pm

Judith Beall and her niece Vanessa Beall has taken part of the Chain Off awareness in Redlands, California for some twelve hours today to help out the cause.

Chain Off has been held annually around the 4th of July since 2003, highlighting the reality that while Americans are celebrating their own freedom, there are tens of thousands of Man's Best Friends in every state who are still not free: America's chained and penned dogs. These dogs are found in backyards stretching from Delaware to Alaska, from Maine to Hawaii, throughout the provinces of Canada, and in countries around the world.

I can hear a few different dogs by where I live that are chained up and even a few that are left outside to long during the day. I even notice how my dogs react to the cry of the dogs that are either chained or left outside. I know my dogs have feeling too and they will give a bark or two back to say hello.

I can only say that it’s upsetting to see any type of animal be neglected or mistreated.

Hi everyone, This is Judith Beall from California. We did ours on June 29 from 9am - 9pm.  Over 100 degree weather, it was hot! It was amazing to say the least. I have a new understanding of how those dogs feel out there. Before I just felt bad for them and I knew it was wrong.  But now I am disgusted, horrified and can't believe that anyone would do this to a living breathing creature that is so full of love.

Vanessa and I worked so hard to get as much word out there as possible. We were bored, tired, very hot, alone, felt humiliated at times when people would stare and hurt.  Why won't more people stop and ask what going on?  Now I can see why this little guys are invisible. People often choose to just turn away rather than stop and help.

Thank you for this DDB.  We can now be here for them to make people see them!
