OUR DOG “PRINCESS” WAS SHOT BY LOS ANGELES SHERIFF DEPUTIES WHO WERE SERVING A WARRANT AT A NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE!

On June 8, 2021, at about noon, Los Angeles County Sheriff deputies were serving a warrant at the house behind our house.  Several deputies were already at that house, but more arrived and broke into our property through a locked gate.  They knew they were at the wrong house and our next-door neighbors told deputies that Princess was in the yard, but they came on our property anyway.  

Our 8-year-old daughter was outside feeding Princess when a deputy with a shotgun shot Princess twice, hitting her in the mouth and shoulder.  

We immediately took her to a veterinarian, but the estimate is $20,000 for the surgery and care to repair the damage done to Princess by LA County Sheriff deputies.  Princess needs a jaw surgery and treatment for a wound in her neck/shoulder as well as both paws on her left side.  

Princess is in a lot of pain and it’s very hard for her to eat and drink.  We desperately want to get her the care she needs, but we can’t afford so much.  

We really appreciate anything you can do to help us get care for our beloved Princess.  

Thank you so much, 

The Perez Family

Princess wrongfully shot by L.A county sheriff

[En español a continuación] This campaign gives queer folk a chance to turn an ugly negative into a shining positive, and help a lot of people along the way. You have probably heard of the "gay civil war" that broke out over the un-masked New Years Eve circuit party of gay men that was organized from the US but held in Mexico in direct violation of the local Covid regulations. Outrage quickly coalesced into multiple Instagram accounts, just one of which, @GaysOverCovid  has over 130,000 followers.  What if, instead of exporting Covid, party drugs, colonial mindedness, and mutual acrimony, we sent love and respect? And what if, instead of just expressing our anger on social media,  we funded an LGBT  soup kitchen that  serves people in dire need because of the pandemic? Such a soup kitchen, or "comedor popular," already exists in Mexico City as a pop-up, created and staffed by LGBT volunteers working at great risk to themselves. The neighborhood they serve is heavily LGBT, but of course anyone who is hungry is served. They need to rent a storefront, both for accepting food donations and to facilitate better Covid safety. $6,000 will cover storefront rent for a year. There is no overhead here. Other than the small cut taken by GoFundMe, every penny donated goes directly to the soup kitchen. If only a teeny tiny fraction of those 130,000 Instagram followers gave just $1 each, more LGBT people who are hungry will get fed every day. Surely we can do this.

Probablemente hayas oído hablar de la "guerra civil gay" que estalló durante una fiesta hombres homosexuales de Nochevieja en la noche del 2019, sin distancia, ni cubrebocas,  esta fiesta  se organizó en los EUA, pero se celebró en México,  violando  las regulaciones locales de Covid durante esta pandemia. ¿Qué pasaría si, en lugar de exportar Covid, drogas para fiesta, una actitud colonial, enviamos amor y respeto? ¿Y qué pasaría si, en vez de hablar en media social,  mandamos fondos para un comedor comunitario para las  personas LGBT+ en extrema necesidad debido a la pandemia? Un comedor comunitario de este tipo ya existe en la Ciudad de México como una ventana emergente, creada y atendida por voluntarios LGBT+ que trabajan con gran riesgo para ellos mismos. La zona donde está este comedor está ubicada en una zona LGBT+, pero, por supuesto se atiende a cualquier persona que tenga hambre y necesitan comer.  En este momento se están uniendo otras organizaciones LGBT+ en la ciudad de México para buscar un espacio en la zona, tanto para el almacenamiento de alimentos en el lugar como para facilitar una mejor seguridad ante el Covid. Es posible rentar un espacio para cubrir nuestras necesidades durante un año por solo US$6000. La cuenta de instagram @GaysOverCovid, que es solo una de las muchas que tienen la intención de criticar la fiesta, ahora tiene 130.000 seguidores. Si una pequeña fracción de esas personas donan un dólar cada una, podemos pagar el alquiler del comedor comunitario durante todo un año. Seguro que podemos lograrlo.  No hay gastos generales aquí. Aparte del recorte tomado por GoFundMe, cada centavo donado va directamente al comedor de beneficencia.
