I think there is something wrong with an adult that has to use such negative talk (losertude) to elevate herself so she appears better than others. It is no wonder she takes her frustration out on helpless animals. Very sad. Again, I can only pray that in time people will wise up to who she is and she will soon be out of business. People like this should not work with children or animals. It’s like they have something to prove and can only get their jollies from thier power over the defenseless. Then to top it all off, instead of being accountable they try and make the issue about something other than what it is.

And thank you for pointing out: Having a case dismissed is NOT the same thing as being FOUND innocent. To be found innocent means that the trial proceeded and went forward and there was a not guilty verdict. Based on the news report I read, that is not the case — in fact the case was dismissed.

I think this woman’s true agenda is shown by her attempts to brand those who disagree with her methods as ignorant and racist….and of course TERRRORISTS. (I wonder what the dogs that she shocked thought about her….sounds like she created a lot of terror in them)

I abhor those who truly judge others based on the color of their skin instead of the content of their character (to paraphrase Martin Luther King)

She was NOT found not guilty per the story. She got away with her actions because of the nonactions of the DA.

Ami…it is your character as revealed by your use of pain that is of concern…not your race.

Please do not try to make this a race issue or a PETA issue. It is neither. It is about you as an individual and your methods of “training”

Cries of pain have no place in training.

Are the comments below “lies”??

Complaints from pet owners alleged that Moore “tormented a Newfoundland dog by repeatedly administering ‘shocks’ via an electronic collar causing the dog to cry out in pain, pant in distress and scratch at the collar in an attempt to stop the shocking sensation,” and that she “tormented a Bichon/Poodle mix dog by fastening multiple electronic collars . . . and repeatedly administering ‘shocks’ to the dog.” There was even a complaint that Moore had put a shock collar around a puppy’s groin area.

Stefani, thanks for knowing that and mentioning it. I noted the expansion of animal rights groups as “terrorists” in a post at http://bigfatliberal.blogspot......ssent.html

BTW, I think Love and Logic is a great way to discipline/teach children so I’m sure it’s probably a great way to discipline/teach animals. Makes sense to me!

And if shock collars are so humane, why don’t we use them on people? Our children, for example? The answer speaks for itself.

I don’t agree with everything PETA says and does, but I respect what good they have been able to accomplish in moving forward treatment of farm animals and raising awareness about fur and vegetarianism.

Exactly why do you accuse them of defamation? Exactly what did they say that is defamatory? Who is paying your legal bills to sue them? Not you, I assume.

And what in the heck does this have to do with your race? Did they make racial comments about you in their criticism of you?

I am ami moore. The story that the Chicago Reader ran were full of lies, slander and pure fabircation. The group that started what I call the West Loop Lynching of myself, were all sympathizers of PETA, a domestic eco-terroritst organization. They and PETA conspired to run me out of business due to the color of my skin, and the dog training tool that I used. I beat them in court in November. I was found innocent of all charges and they, the West Loop Wackos were revealed to be the ignorant, lying bigots that I had always maintained that they were.

Here is a News Release on the subject:

Accomplished Chicago Dog Trainer Ami Moore Bites Back Big

Sues PETA, Neighbor for Defaming Her Through Media, Internet

African-American Business Woman Won’t be Bullied by PETA’s Terror Tactics.
Esteemed Chicago dog trainer Ami Moore has filed a multi-million dollar, multi-count lawsuit against People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Inc. (PETA) and a West Loop animal rights sympathizer, alleging they held her and her business up to a false light in a program of media and internet character assassination in recent months.

“This is America and in this country well-funded and well-organized aninal rights groups like PETA and its supporters with agendas, should not be allowed to target and destroy innocent people and businesses that they don’t like,” said Ami Moore.

The dispute stems from two misdemeanor complaints filed against Moore in July, 2006, after Moore used an electronic dog training collar to train a dog in a West Loop park.Ami Moore was found innocent of all charges in November 2997. Such “tappers” are commonly used by dog trainers, are considered a humane and dog friendly training tool and are as benign as the ubiquitous electric fence used commonly by suburban homeowners.

Since last year PETA has allegedly used its web site to disseminate false and defamatory information about Moore and her business to millions of websites around the globe. Opresnik has allegedly made false and defamatory statements to several Chicago-area media outlets.

“I haven’t spent decades of my life learning about the dog’s heart and mind to let PETA bully me around,” said Moore. “These radical fringe groups habitually attack small animal related businesses need to know that they must act responsibly. PETA is Goliath, and I am proud to stand up for all small businesses and be their ‘David’ in this case. The FBI considers animal rights groups to be a clear and present danger to the American way of life, and I agree. Our Congress believed that the threat from animal rights groups to be so serious, that it passed the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) to protect American citizens from the malicious and felonious acts of animal right terrorists.”

Moore’s business, DoggieDoRight911, is located in Downtown Chicago. Moore is an animal protection activist who has saved hundreds of dogs and households from the pain and consequences of poorly trained and misbehaving dogs. She has thousands of satisfied customers – dogs and people – to prove it.

The DoggieDoRight911 Philosophy
“Dogs have the right to be educated so that they can fit into our modern life. It is inhumane and immoral to have an untrained, uneducated dog that is a danger to the family and the community. Domestic dogs have the right to have the kindest, best, most effective, and most humane training tools and methods used for their education, so that every dog in America can have the greatest of gifts — a good and loving forever home.”
