Sgt. Gen Beberg, serving in Iraq, rescued Ratchet from a fire in in May. She is scheduled to return home to Minneapolis next month...without Ratchet. The actions of the Army are absurd to say the least. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals has created a online petition to "Release Ratchet from Iraq" .While other animals have been released to the United States, the Army has yet to give a statement on why Ratchet is being prevented from having a home with the soon to be Vet. My thought is this, if politicians, the Pentagon, and military send our soldiers in to harms way, right or wrong, with the possibility of long-term complications, it is not unreasonable for allowing them the chance at a longtime companion in a dog or cat. The Middle East is not region in the world where dogs and cats are loved as they are in the United States, so please follow the link, sign the petition, and let's get Ratchet out of Iraq for Sgt. Beberg. Support Operation Baghdad Pups.
In addition, the ugliness of a U.S. Marine being filmed throwing a puppy off a cliff in Iraq put on display the ugliness of cruelty. Allowing good people to rescue these animals would certainly put that imagery further in the rear view mirror.
