“ … how that brought me to animal law is… encountering situations where animals were being treated unjustly, were being victimized by crime, or being subject to maltreatment… In ways that I found… not only viscerally disturbing, on the level of… [this bad thing is happening to an animal] , but disturbing on the systemic level…. On the level that there didn’t seem like there was anyone looking out for the animals… “ David Rosengard - A.L.D.F.

… When you open up your project and you almost 💩 your pants. Then you remember… this isn’t your first rodeo, and all you have to do is relink the proxy files. Don’t F**k With Dogs coming soon!!! We’ve cut 11 hours down to 6. Now we need to cut 6 hours down to 3… and the hardest part is going to be condensing 3 hours into 60minutes. God help us 🙏 🙌 🐶 ⚖️

“They should be charged with a Felony. It’s something that we, in the animal community, are always fighting with the DA’s office… because a lot of times they plea down the cases to Misdemeanor, and sometimes people don’t even get jail time.” ~ Bryce Henderson

Our documentary will undoubtedly ruffle the feathers of certain elected officials in Las Vegas. Hopefully they realize that there is a demand for better justice in the animal community.

“I’ve never cried on camera. You’re the only one who got me to cry.“ ~ Victoria Seaman

We have faced such adversity in producing this documentary. Some people actually change the channel when they hear news stories such as Reba’s. Let us be clear, RIGHT NOW!!! This film will NOT be easy to watch. It will challenge you to face the facts! Animal abuse & cruelty is not an easy topic to discuss. You might get up and leave the theater. You might not even buy a ticket!!! The choice is yours. However, ignoring the issue will NOT change ANYTHING. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
