DR PHIL SHOW

[Jo Clute]

Last year, this list called out for the assistance of an elderly woman to remove an abundance of monster weeds in her back yard so as to avoid a fairly substantial fine.  As it turned out the City and the Humane Society AND Animal Planet were there to help save over 60 cats that were found (some dead some alive) amongst three feet high of composted newspaper, animal carcasses, excrement and water from their HVAC condensing line.  A lot of neighbors showed up to help unknowingly as to what was about to occur.  In order to even go inside the house, the City had delivered 2 40 yard Roll offs just to remove enough contents of the house to get to the animals.  Some if not most of the animals were liquefied with urine along with the rest of the contents of this house.  The Dr Phil show called out to people who had neighbors that were hoarding animals.  I wrote in to the Dr. Phil Show with this story  (which actually aired on Animal Planet).  I got a call on Friday from one of the Dr Phil producers who was just as horrified by this story.  I know that a couple of us showed up there that I recognized but if you were there and I didn't know it, could you please email me with your information so I can forward it to the producer.  Its a 50/50 shot as to whether they will produce this show based on the fact that Animal Planet already was involved but I was trying to encourage the neighborhood angle on this story on how we were all there to just help one of our fellow neighbors.  Also, Animal Planet and the Arizona Humane Society might be invited to participate in the program.  This great opportunity got lost amid the list serve debacle, but now that we are all back on track......

Please email me directly if you know anything about this situation so I can give the producer your contact information.
