When Markwell was approached by some of the local color in Forks, WA for a pit bull, he told them, "Don't come around here anymore. Tell your friends the dogs are dangerous, but the owner's worse."
Foreshadow. lol.
Steve Markwell burst onto the dog rescue scene in 2009 armed with promises, grand pie in the sky plans and a handful of fairy dust to sprinkle into the lattes of gullible rescue angels only to find himself in a heap of legal trouble four years later.
Fast forward to 2015. This week MARKWELL admitted to violating the Charitable Solicitation Act and its Consumer Protection Act. The Washington state dog whisperer and one time speaker on the subject of breed specific legislation at the University of Washington Law School (page 4) in 2012 faces fines totaling $96,000 for 48 violations plus over $20,000 in legal fees after soliciting over $360,000 in donations to his house of horrors charity from 2009 to 2011. The judge could also order MARKWELL to return the money that he duped from fellow no kill kooks. MOMMY!
A few gullible political correct organizations pimped Markwell out and presented him as someone to respect and mimic but only Idea Mensch deleted the piece they ran on Markwell in 2009 (good thing i saved a pdf!). He is still listed as number 32 of 33 entrepreneurs who make this world a better place but his individual spotlight has been purged from their website. You would think that an honest organization would seize the moment to teach people of the dangers of con artists instead of sloppily trying to bury the truth. Even the famous psychopath researcher, Dr. Robert Hare admits that he can be fooled by these creatures.

112 comments:
I f-ing hate the way these imbeciles malign all dogs -- "Any dog will sleep in your bed for two years and cuddle up to you and be your best friend then suddenly take a chunk out of you" -- so as to normalize gripping mauler behavior. Call me a hater!
Can we please introduce testing before anyone is allowed to open a "rescue" for dogs...expensive IQ tests not needed, just an x-ray to make sure they have more than two brains cells in their brain case.
Amen sputnik! I cringe every time I hear the pit freaks trot out the old "any dog" shtick when weighing on the latest pit bull atrocity.
More fraud, crime, and ANIMAL CRUELTY brought to you thanks to Best Friends Animal Society
Originally, when Best Friends started the scam that highly aggressive dogs could be magically fixed by special magical dog rehab specialists, they tried to do this at their "sanctuary"
One of their puppets in the media, special piece of crap Kim Murphy of the LA Times, published propaganda about their dog whisperer scam to do this themselves in Utah.
But there were problems. They COULDN'T make the dogs all better, the dogs were trying to kill the volunteers and other dogs, plus every gullible jackass that donates to them wanted to be bringing their crazed, aggressive fighting dogs out of the local pound to Best Friends to make it all better.
So Best Friends switched plans and reverted back to their traditional plan of encouraging hoarders, torturers, and grifters like Don Chapman to refer people to, so donors wouldn't get pissy that Best Friends didn't help. Best friends didn't want to lose any donations.
They referred people to Markwell, they had Markwell making regular trips to their sanctuary to pick up dogs to take back to his torture pit, and they got their piece of crap puppet Kim Murphy of the LA Times to write another article. Murphy fell all over herself declaring Markwell a successful genius.
http://articles.latimes.com/2009/dec/11/nation/la-na-bad-dogs11-2009dec11
But of course it was all lies. The only photo she used was supplied by Markwell, because Murphy never set foot on Markwell's place in Utah, by her own admission. She just had the public relations people at Best Friends write the article for her.
Best Friends also had their plants at People magazine and some other publications write entirely fictitious accounts of Markwell's success, all lies of course.
This resulted in droves of the stupid dumping dogs at Markwell's for Markwell to torture while he scammed money out of hordes of gullible women who didn't seem to understand that a guy like Markwell plays them for fools. Mauling cases got sent to Markwell by courts that were lied to by Best Friends people, with Best Friends approval. Best Friends people raised money from fools to give to Markwell to take some of these dogs.
Best Friends also got Brenda Barnette (now heading LA animal control with them and creating disasters) to promote Markwell through Seattle Humane Society and give him dogs, most of which he killed.
Another individual, a hunting dog breeder in Kentucky who writes a blog pushing the No Kill scam, also promoted Markwell relentlessly with her AKC friends, attacking anyone who even suggested this wasn't what it was claimed to be.
So it really took a village of the usual suspects to create this monster with an endless supply of lies and hype.
After Markwell's crimes were made public, Best Friends does what any scam organization does- they denied they ever heard of him. THEY LIED. Even though his place was filled with their dogs, some of which they were still using for their own fundraising. They knew he was torturing these dogs, and they did not do one thing about it except lie.
They also told people they "don't investigate animal cruelty." WTF? What do they do with those millions? Many of these were their own dogs! Where was that girl genius attorney Ledy to do right by the dogs they sent to be tortured? Suddenly she doesn't care?
Best Friends has to be the premier humane organization responsible for the torture and deaths of more animals than the puppy mills. They've done it with other Markwells too.
Ledy Van Kavage can't claim ignorance on this one, and neither can Russ Mead or any of the others. Mead and Van Kavage also had Markwell appearing at ALDF sponsored things, and were promoting him.
"ANIMAL LEGAL DEFENSE FUND thinks highly enough of MARKWELL to invite him to speak last year at the university of washington law school continuing education: The Pit Bull Public Health “Problem": Myth Not Menace. the non-profit, christian youth dude appears to be the only non lawyer in the lineup."
So how much does Van Kavage and Mead really care about pit bulls if they couldn't even be bothered to inpect Markwell's place (where just a quick visit would have confirmed that he was torturing pit bulls and other dogs) or research him to find out if he was what he claimed to be before they put their seal of approval on him and promoted him heavily?
Markwell was a monster created by Best Friends Animal Society for their agenda, not for doing anything real or good.
It is humorous to read about Markwell pulling he-man attitude.
This is a guy who has been supported by his MOTHER his whole life.
The one who also can't escape guilt is the woman, who also should be facing charges, who was the treasurer of his board and responsible for the money too, and who bought Markwell this place Olympic Animal Sanctuary- his mommy Diane Markwell Hawkins, the bible school teacher who lives in San Juan Capistrano CA.
She and sonny boy originally tried to work the wildlife rescue angle but the dog scam was so much more lucrative.
San Juan Capistrano, the home of Nathan Winograd's meal tickets that pay all the bills while Winograd whips up the crazies and attacks women- Winograd's parents-in-law who produced his wife, who also used to work for the Animal Legal Defense Fund. What a small ugly world.
That should have read-
Murphy never set foot on Markwell's place in Forks Washington.
Best Friends is in Utah.
Some AKC breeders who also sell themselves as dog trainer were having their clients send dogs to Markwell's when they couldn't magically make the killer aggression go away. One of them was still trying to dump dogs with Markwell even after he was exposed as a fraud.
Could you possibly add Olympic Animal Sanctuary and Forks Washington to the tag labels for this blog post, and also Best Friends Animal Society, because Markwell still has pages out there online trying to raise money and some of Best Friends people have been reported to be still doing something with this in the shadows.
Maybe some people can be saved from being defrauded.
I added those labels. thanks.
"After Markwell's crimes were made public, Best Friends does what any scam organization does- they denied they ever heard of him. THEY LIED."
it seems to me that best friends just deletes the electronic evidence and says nothing, they move onto the next one. they say nothing, acknowledge nothing, they don't appear to answer to anyone about their behavior, just like AFF, the ASPCA, HSUS... this is what a lot of money will get you - immunity. the altruistic non-profit sector operates exactly like for profit corporations.
"it seems to me that best friends just deletes the electronic evidence and says nothing, they move onto the next one. they say nothing, acknowledge nothing, they don't appear to answer to anyone about their behavior"
True, that is usually what they do.
They did have to come out in public and admit to giving their "rescued" Hurricane Katrina pit bulls to Don The Dog Guy Chapman, after he was arrested for animal cruelty and the case was in the media, and they couldn't hide it anymore. After they told their donors the pit bulls all found wonderful homes, when they had already been tortured and killed by Chapman. They never researched him either, and they let him use their facilities and their web site to promote himself. He worked with Best Friends management at the sanctuary in Utah, and their "training staff," while he was torturing the dumped Best Friends pit bulls that they collected millions in hurricane money for.
In the Markwell case, some donors who found out about this contacted Best Friends repeatedly and contacted some of the senior people there (some of whom Steve had personal and working relationships with) and got emails back from some of Best Friends management that flatly lied and said they didn't know who he was and had never heard of him.
That despite a long trail of Best Friends referrals, Steve's blog describing frequent trips to Best Friends to pick up dogs and giving details about his conversations with management, and even a Don Chapman like stint at Best Friends doing some kind of training mentoring that never panned out.
I have copies of some of them that people put up.
When some of their donors also asked Best Friends and some of their high paid lawyers to intervene and get the Best Friends dogs back from Markwell, Best Friends blew them off and wrote to them "we don't do cruelty investigations" and referred them to HSUS and ASPCA.
Ledy Van Kavage wasn't interested in getting her beloved pit bulls back I guess, and wasn't interested in the fact that there was a repeat performance of torturing and killing them. As long as they were off Best Friends expenses so the money could go to fat salaries, I guess that was fine?
Without Best Friends, no one would have known who Steve Markwell was. He would have been one of the smaller scammers out there, but it wouldn't have gone so far with so many.
Best Friends used their shelter contacts (like Barnette,) their ALDF contacts (Best Friends has senior people running a lot of that,) and their national media contacts (many of the same ones that reproduce Ledy's lies about pits) to build up a complete fabrication about this man that they in reality knew nothing about. Solely so they could in turn fabricate a fantasy to gullible idiot donors, and courts/governments/animal control departments, that dangerously aggressive dogs could be magically fixed and should be "saved" (which means to them, let them die somewhere where no one sees after being tortured, but they tell the donors they were "saved", send them money!)
"Save them all" means very dark, bad things when it comes from Best Friends, but it is a manipulative hook to grift money out of people, just like the lower level ones, Markwell and Chapman and the rest, do.
In looking for some of the past history, I found this page. It at least is an interesting exploration of what a problem all this No Kill scam stuff is. For every Markwell they get, there are a hundred more, thanks to places like Best Friends and the rest that encourage them, and stupid people who send money without even researching what they are supporting.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sanctuary-Watch/963306607031716
I have a feeling they support laundering off aggressive dogs but it at least is a look into the ongoing disaster that is No Kill that Best friends sells.
Smiling Dog Farms in Wharton Texas is another one with Markwell and Purcell type issues reported.
Also, some of the Best Friends gang was also in there with the pit bull killing of the Wheeling WV man supposedly doing cpr, getting that dog sent to new Markwell types in Pennsylvania, only in operation for a year and making the exact same claims that Markwell did, South Hills Pet Rescue and Rehabilitation Resort in Union Township, Pennsylvania. The new Markwell-wannabe, Nick Ferraro, got his hands on that dog (sheba) and within days of it showing up at his place, was shoving it in the face of kids posing for fundraising photos. A dog that had attacked multiples and killed a man. While Nick Ferraro and wife Ashley Rittle were receiving citations for having a broken-down dump with broken walls and fences that couldn't contain the dogs, and admitted they didn't have the money to run the place and begged for donations.
On it goes.
Even as we marvel at how such a loser asnd a liar like this even managed to get $350,000 to not account for, Markwell is still in business.
Someone is still supporting this.
While he faces all these charges, while he's committed tax fraud on the money, while he's tortured and killed dogs, while he's defrauded waves of people, while he's tried to assault people and gone to jail for vandalism after he attacked a car while trying to go after the occupant, and while his lawyer is crying poor mouth and claiming that mean "animal right activists" persecuted him and he has no money (thank you AKC loonies, for feeding that lame excuse into him via his attorney, who also is getting paid for very mysteriously)
HE'S BUILDING NEW BUILDINGS AT THE SITE!
https://www.facebook.com/396180077155674/photos/a.398082886965393.1073741827.396180077155674/788376671269344/?type=1&theater
So someone is still propping him up, and unless he really is held responsible for all the crimes he's committed, he may well go right back into business. The pit bull advocacy angels don't seem to care.
He's got political connections too in the state of Washington, in this case Democratic party people (not picking on that party, both sides are just as bad on the dog and pit nutter issue and influence) including his right hand man Matthew Randazzo, a Democratic party lobbyist in WA (comes from CA, friend of Steve from the San Francisco area) who is the special assistant for the scumbag rancher who runs the Public Lands management department for the state.
It wouldn't surprise me that with the political connections and a little grease to the highly politically influenced court of that state, Markwell just gets a slap on the wrist.
Then goes right back at it with all the same lies.
Steve also wouldn't have gotten anywhere without his mommy, the bible school teacher who apparently thinks Jesus said it was ok to lie, cheat, steal, torture and kill, and break about any law that comes along?
Diane Hawkins (Markwell was the first marriage, Hawkins is the second) of San Juan Capistrano CA, who bought him the place, owns it, and has been treasurer of the various boards of his scam charities he's created, and who knows what else
She knows what he's doing and she's supporting it,
http://patch.com/california/sanjuancapistrano/protest-against-suspected-animal-hoarder-headed-san-juan-capistranos-wa
Of course, she has her hands full with Steve's 40 something year old sister, who got arrested a few years ago in CA for working in some type of gang that broke into parked cars and stole things.
Here's more on mommy, Diane Markwell Hawkins, who helps make it all possible, and also got nearly $100,000 in RENT from the idiot donors' money. She owns the land and warehouse for Steve's OAS, and also is the treasurer of Steve's enterprise.
The dangerous dog trade seems to always have money interests at the heart of it
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/school-596960-markwell-hawkins.html
She went on dog pick up trips with Steve, she knew what a hellhole it was, she knew he was torturing these dogs in that warehouse, she used the school address (Methodist school she was an elementary school teacher at) as her personal address on her tax filings for Olympic Animal Sanctuary
People are dying from dangerous dogs because the middle class is helping to support that.
LOL, what is this whiny dipshit babbling about now?
Little boy, are you really attempting to silence whistleblowers and victim advocates by threatening to "unmask" them?
Oh, and threatening to use anti-bullying laws to further the bully's attempt to silence those who dare to speak out for the defenseless? very interesting.
Woohoo
Thank you for exposing the identity of this vile blogger, Douglas.
I have spent the morning advising as many of her victims as I can.
I hope they sue her nasty butt off for all the years of vicious defamation she has been heaping on good people, a coward hiding behind her anonymity.
Cooper tries to sound some suave mastermind villain twirling his mustache and petting a white persian kitty, like he is going to be the subject of a documentary film about superhackers. In reality, he "caught" Dawn using the same name she's been public about for years. I'm underwhelmed.
Have you seen the city of Minneapolis dangerous dogs map? Over half of them are pit bulls or pit bull mixes, and since there are photos of each dog, it's impossible to play the "breed misidentification" game:
I think this is a fantastic idea. It's breed-neutral. I can't understand why all of the pit bull apologists are so upset about a dangerous dog tracking system that makes clear images of the dogs available to the public. Can you?
On an unrelated note, there are precedents for holding a person accountable for harassment and damages as a result of an Internet lynch mob mentality, even though he/she may not be directly involved in the harassment. If someone facilitates a release of information that then launches an online harassment campaign, that person can be held liable for the behavior of third parties.
"...Though the defendant was not directly responsible for the Internet stories and their repercussions, he had set in motion the release of information that whipped up a mob mentality.
"The impressions created on the Internet is far different than reality," Brown said. "You didn't do it, but people have done it for you. What's been created is a lynch mob mentality."

Here's the link to Minneapolis's dangerous dogs map: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/animals/dangerous/dangerous-dogs
What's obviously happening here is that the Labradoodle Mafia is paying off city officials to keep all of the cuddly breeds off of this list. You would not believe how corrupt Minnesotans are.
Ew... I feel like need to take a shower after reading what these slimy sociopaths have to say.
@Cooper - Genug with the gaslighting attempts, you puffed up buffon. You're drunk on the illusion of your own relevance.
@Batchelor - you're not fooling anyone either.
What is with Blogger Douglas Anthony Cooper? He shows up to threaten and stalk people on behalf of Steve Markwell? So is he telling the world that he is connected to Steve Markwell's activities? Does anyone understand anything he is posting? Who is Karen Batchelor? Is she connected to Steve Markwell?
Bow wow.
Wasn't aware of this group. From what I can put together, Douglas Anthony Cooper, Lisa Camuso, Karen Batchelor, Nancy Tranzow. Did I miss anyone? Group activity trolling pit bull victims and their spouses and children?
http://www.aurorasentinel.com/opinion/perry-surprise-pit-bullies-wont-let-aurora-election-loss-go/ they all seem to be there working together in the comments?
Is this the same Karen Batchelor, another person in another country harassing Americans?
"Actually, Karen Batchelor has been blacklisted by the NZ APBT club for lying and fraud. Any of their members who associates with her will be banned. I wonder why she thinks she has any credibility left at all, anywhere, even among the pit nutters."
So can any of them tell me why some of them are showing up on a blog post about Markwell's crimes to make threats? Are we to understand that Markwell is one of the gang? What is the inference here? Will they explain?
Oh, this has nothing to do with Markwell, about whom I know nothing. It's simply the most recent post on this revolting blog, so it seemed the best place to dive in.
I sympathize, by the way, regarding the "lynch mob mentality." I have NO interest in vigilantism -- the dog-poisoners here, for instance, are the lowest of the low.
I've given this information to people who require it to pursue legal remedies, and who have assured me that they intend to use it for those purposes.
@cooper -
"It's simply the most recent post on this revolting blog"
Oh, that's rich, you little shit ;)
But you know what is really revolting about this blog, dougie? What's really revolting are he facts that are reported here. The horrific maulings that idiotic tools like you help to bring about, and the vile threats you make against victims, and the obscene propanda that you spew to promote the torturers are killers.
No dougie, it's you, and your ilk, who are the lowest of the low.
Oops, s/b "torturers *and* killers" in the next to last sentence above
What "dog-poisoners?" You've directly accused Dawn and others of killing dogs (or getting them killed) several times. That's a serious charge, so what credible evidence do you have that Dawn James has poisoned or killed dogs?
And "legal remedies" to what? What makes you think anyone has such a case?
All you've done is make vague references to legal action like every other blowhard who's ever had his butt chapped by something on the Internet.
We're all connected
Ilk?
Backed right into a corner. No denying.
Douglas Anthony Cooper shows up on a blog post to stalk and harass people to save Steve Markwell's honor.
Then he gets very defensive when that is pointed out.
So that's the company he keeps.
It was funny in those Aurora Sentinel article comments, where Lisa Camuso is attacking someone on behalf of Cooper, who then steps in to scold Camuso, who has to start groveling and apologizing. How many women would put up with some old creep ordering them around like that? I guess that's why the gang is limited.
Lawsuits? Yes, it would be a good thing to see this Cooper led gang getting deposed and exposed.
They've been engaged in this stalking and harassing for a long time, and the public should find out about the people doing it, especially what they have done to victims of violence by dogs which they support.
They seem to have been harassing and threatening a lot of people for a long time. I'm sure many people would find this useful..
He hasn't read the blog post, but he comments on it.
He doesn't care that Markwell killed those dogs or stole that money. Cooper just doesn't care. He has nothing to say about Markwell, an actual dog killer.
Cooper and his gang wants to stalk and harass some women instead who write about the wrong things that actual dog killers like Markwell have done, while Cooper and his gang don't want to talk about actual No Kill dog killers.
But then Cooper says he's just harassing people on behalf of the dogs and No Kill? When he doesn't care about someone like Markwell who killed dogs in the name of No Kill?
So how does Josh Liddy factor into the gang? I saw he was involved with that Karen Batchelor making some threat or another about somebody.
"I don't intend to sue -- not my style -- but I want to see whether I can help set things in motion with respect to the state laws governing cyberbullying.) "
So as a Canadian citizen living in Mexico, you've admitted to attempting to try to use the US justice system to harass American citizens, women, that you've been stalking? With your New Zealand friend? And a woman who calls victims of dog attacks flying monkeys and calls women who have lost children to dog attacks ugly and fat?
Cooper is getting very windy and defensive now.
Cooper, you and your friends have left a trail all over the place. You can't try to slime out of it now, especially since your threats to women have gotten more extreme.
The only thing you have persistently supported is cruelty to animals and people in the name of No Kill, and stalking women online.
Anyone with half-a-cup of brain cells can filter out the noise of your bellowing and hear the truth - You are desperately trying to create a lobby that matters. But you cannot. And it fucking kills you that after all these years, you and your hate club are still flaccid and impotent. And the reasons, Craven, are quite obvious.
It's the numbers and the blood that are winning. Day after day, you precious dog do what they've been oh so well bred for and day after day the same cameras that catch the brutal cops are catching your dogs in the act and those pics are getting posted over and over and over and over, and it doesn't fuck much matter you get up and scream your pretty words about "all dogs are equal", we're all getting the picture quite clearly.
Your threats don't matter, your lies don't matter, your howling in a growing storm caused by your own 'success' and getting drenched in the blood of your victims.
The more successful you are, the more evidence against you. Soon, every grade school will have at least one child disfigured, and every neighborhood will have at least one story of the dog or cat dismembered, and both 'events' will likely be on security camera to bear witness.
The more you scream and howl and libel the victims, the more you threaten your critics, the more you prove you're no different than the dogmen crowded around the pit drunk on bloodlust.
"She wisely chose to moderate the the precise details, but they're available to anyone who requests them for legal purposes."
oddly enough, google choose to moderate that comment by sending it to the spam folder.
"We'll let the courts decide whether defamation constitutes "whistleblowing" and "advocacy."
there is a better way to phrase that. "We’ll let the courts decide whether whistleblowing constitutes defamation." here is another way to phrase it: If I draw attention to a lobbyist admitting that she lies to city council members, does blowing the whistle on her admission constitute defamation?
"Dawn knows this, which is why she's been so uncharacteristically silent today."
my delay in responding to you was based on my need to follow up on this comment: "And whether pushing a teen to attempt suicide falls into either of those categories.” that would be someone commonly known as lycanprincess. s/he showed up here using several aliases and creating all sorts of fabricated bat crazy scenarios like people broke into his/her home and tried to kill his/her pit bull and put him/her in the hospital all the while referencing craven desires. s/he has quite an imagination. i eventually looked into him/her and when i saw that s/he was struggling with his/her gender issues, i advised him/her to go work them out. s/he was entertaining to my readers though. s/he created a blog called 'craven desires is a sociopath' but s/he deleted it within a month or so. i was actually amused by it and sorry to see it go. i’d exercise caution in championing her/his cause. i would demand solid proof of her/his claims. i would insist on seeing hospital records and it probably would not hurt to have them faxed to you directly from the hospital.
regarding all of these people lined up to sue me, that could have done that years ago. a simple petition to blogger is all that is needed and they would handed me over on a silver platter.
in addition to defamation, there are a couple of other legal concepts out there that you might want to familiarize yourself with:
Clean Hands Doctrine. it is one of my favorites. i mentioned it in the comments of the swagger in slither out blog post, that is why i updated lisa to the top of craven.
another is Spoliation. Good Stuff! imagine a nutter strutting in front of a judge with a copy of my “defamatory" blog post but with dead links. then i produce pdfs and screenshots of those dead links.
oh, and Malicious Prosecution. yep, that’s some good reading too.
oh, and regarding that ten day open window period, there is an interesting story behind that. my domain was set up correctly, but at some point later on, i don’t remember, six months maybe a year, it went from private to public. i assumed there was a twenty nothing tatted up nutter employed at machighway fucking with me. could it be that you will end up giving me fodder to sue some deep pockets and possibly nailing yet another nutter? but regarding you “finding” me, i am thrilled that you have finally proven me right about something. maybe there is hope for you cooper.
Thinly-veiled threats are still threats. Cloaking hatred with a thin crust of politeness, a veneer that fools nobody and simply serves to remind us that the primary objective here is to SILENCE a voice of reason and revelation.
'I know who you are!' he bleated, 'and I is telling ALL my friends! I am posting your address and your phone number (of dubious legality, if done so for the purposes of harassment and harm, methinks); But if you take down your blog and be a good girl, I might reconsider'. The playground bully, rooting like a pig on truffles at someone else's lunch money - trouble is, in this case, he's picking on the wrong kid, for the wrong reasons, to please the wrong company. BAD company.
You and the rest of your truffle-pigs won't gag a voice of reason and revelation, and you can coat your hatred, personal vendettas and malicious intent with as much saccharine as you like - it still tastes like psychopathic rage at being continually thwarted by your superiors. Hurts, eh?!
Good luck with getting the muzzle on THIS particular pro-human, pro-truth, pro-decency individual, grubby little haters.
I will slightly twist the famous line from 'Spartacus' at this point. 'I am Dawn James. HE is Dawn James. SHE is Dawn James. THEY are Dawn James'. We are Legion.
:)
"So, please: don't be impressed."
I'm not.
Hey Coop! Were YOU the guy that reported the "I Hate Dogs" FaceBook page to CIA ?? C'mon, it was YOU! Admit it!
I think I'll have my supersleuth private dick look into that!
Perhaps file a defamation lawsuit on behalf of the page administrator. Prepare for the trial of the century, you defamer!
"Oh, and please inform your friend Dunaway -- equally charming, isn't she? -- that's she's next"
"You are.... vicious".
And more.
Dude's digging his own way into his own day in court, aint he.
I doubt danielle marie has a leg to stand on
thanks coop! i tracked down that "suicide note".
then i immediately checked my lycanprincess files. discovery is guaranteed to be a hoot. i wonder if animal planet or one of those investigation channels would like to televise this case? i'm open to it.
02920... Is that Cranstons zip code?
Yup, it's Lisa Camuso

I haven't commented on the bullying/suicide attempt because I just don't see how anyone can take the allegations seriously, given the proffered evidence. But, here goes:
"don't you think your time would be better spent working on your transgender issues? you know, there is a high suicide rate among that population."
That does not constitute an endorsement of suicide. It is merely an observation of fact: that demographic (trans individuals) does have an elevated risk of suicide. It was rude of Dawn to bring that up, but that's not bullying, either. Dawn was not telling LycanPrincess to kill herself.
You're reaching. You're trying to infer meaning where there is none. And regarding LycanPrincess, I see zero evidence that she tried to commit suicide or that anyone on this blog urged her to do so. If anything, she came over here and interjected herself endlessly into comments threads under different aliases, calling Dawn a pedophile and other strange and silly names. Maybe you should read those comments threads or show them to a lawyer, or (why not?) gay anti-bullying activists. Hell, mail em to Dan Savage.
I don't even think that what happened to LycanPrincess here can even be called a flame war. And flame wars aren't bullying, either.
OH WOW! She said Dude was a registered sex offender and Snack emailed her pics of women having sex with dogs?!?!
I'd never read that thread on our-compass before!
This is so ridiculous.
Why are you posting your zip code?
Cooper, your entire life has been losing. You failed to do anything in Canada, you came to New York City, and even with your Canadian neocon friends' help, you failed to accomplish anything but get kicked around and try to puff up a few dead-end ventures. Then you fled to Mexico to take up dog breeding, chasing after young girls, and assuming a role like a UVA frat boy organizing an online gang bang against women that dare to be honest about what your fellow lobbyists are up to and the harm you are doing to society.
Your fellow lobbyists are getting people killed and injured every day through propaganda nad lies that you help disseminate, and that's not to mention the animals they abuse and kill, but you attack the people who expose your lobby's lies, ESPECIALLY WOMEN, and stalk and threaten them.
As you have failed to attract attention even among the dregs of the fighting dog enthusiasts and No Kill animal abusers, you have only increased your frat boy type activities and threatened more women, and exhorted abusive individuals you are connected to to do the same and worse.
There are people in your life that need to be exposed for what they have assisted you in doing, in particular your personal friends, Bush warmonger and New York City neocon David Frum and Danielle Crittenden, whose ankles you desperately cling to to try to get some kind of veneer of credibility and accompanying personal favors.
Despite the fact that they only got a toehold into the New York City right wing media and political world through Canadian family media contacts, they too have done nothing but step in pile after pile of shite.
"Frum left the White House in February, 2002. Commentator Robert Novak, appearing on CNN, claimed that Frum was dismissed because his wife had emailed friends, saying that her husband had invented the "axis of evil" phrase"
Frum is a political lobbyist, right in with Bush fellow Andrew Saul (Jane Berkey's brother the Bush pioneer and cocaptain of Animal Farm Foundation) and that kind of behavior is to be expected among that echelon. But the real issue related to you, Cooper, is your personal relationship through him to Danielle Crittenden, Frum's wife, who relentlessly pushes her husband to do and say stupid things and try to rise politically among the Andrew Saul-type neocons while he constantly falls over his own feet, then whine to try to protect him.
But Crittenden had her own neocon exploiting to do. Here's what family connections got Danielle Crittenden as a handout and gift, her stepfather being the owner of the Toronto Sun. "She did not attend university but immediately became a full-time general assignment reporter and feature writer at the Toronto Sun until 1984."
Someone with no education, no track record, and nothing but family connections gets a gift to be a lobbyist hiding under media credentials.
Also exploiting her Canadian family connections to New York City neocon politics and media, and moving with Frum (and their friend Cooper) to New York, Crittenden insinuated herself into ridiculous roles as a member of the NY and Washington DC media, while dabbling in ventures like anti-feminism and then trying to pose as a champion for women. All thanks to gifts from her and Frum's New York City family connections in politics, the media, and publishing.
For a sampling, Crittenden panders to the neocon males for attention with things like this
http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2007/12/05/just-when-you-think-professional-anti-feminist-danielle-crittenden-couldnt-be-more-of-an-asshole/
But the sleaziest thing thing went on with Danielle Crittenden Frum is that via her and her husband's New York City political and media contacts related to her family, via people like the Saul family types and their political machinations and their political cohorts and the NYC neocon club, she was gifted a role as lobbyist/media poseur by the Huffington Post. "Crittenden is currently the Managing Editor of Blogs for the online journal, Huffington Post Canada, which launched in May 2011"
Crtitenden is not a reporter, not a journalist. She's a neocon lobbyist posing as those things, and using Huffington Post as her propaganda outlet, with help.
Crittenden then did a PERSONAL FAVOR for her and her husband's friend from Canada who also followed them to NYC, Douglas Anthony Cooper, by giving Cooper his own blog on Huffington. Cooper, who had hit dead end after dead end, got gifted his own blog to run as a front man for neocon lobbying , and the liberals they like to try to fool.
Since then, all Cooper has done is use that Huffington Post position to assume his frat boy attacks on women who dare to speak the truth about his lobbyist friends. Crittenden has done nothing but give Cooper a little perch that he can stand on and organize stalkers and attackers against WOMEN, and make threat after threat to the WOMEN that Crittenden claims to represent and champion.
Or does she? Crittenden's vision of neocon womanhood doesn't really fit people like Dawn James. Women like that are the enemy to Crittenden and her neocon lobbyist friends and husband aren't they? Neocons like Frum and Crittenden think they have the right to try to silence women like Dawn James and , don't they? Frat boy friends who are willing to stalk and harass those women could be quite helpful, couldn't they?
Danielle Crittenden has a lot to answer for, only one of them being the personal favor she did for a misogynist and stalker like Douglas Anthony Cooper, who hides in Mexico but travels about with his online gang of abusive and threatening individuals attacking WOMEN that Crittenden's and Frum's neocon lobbyist friends find "inconvenient."
Certainly Frum's Bush buddy Andrew Saul would find them "inconvenient" related to his and his sister's activities, wouldn't they?
The real stink here isn't the low level loser and stalker Cooper, it's his lobbyist friends who have connections to some of these issues and want to drown out dissent and exposure, and have given it hjim a platform to do it from.
Because Frum, Crittenden, Saul and their group of neocons don't represent anyone else's interests in the country, as much as they try to pretend, but their own club of friends in places like New York City and Washington DC. They are getting a lot of people and animals across the country hurt and killed because of that insularity, selfishness, and greed.
Coming here, Cooper, to admit that you and your gang fastened on to a 20-something year old woman and and fed her invective, threats, and obscenities to come spew here, and then fake a victim stance that you apparently are admitting to coaching, is only further indications of your role as a misogynist and an abuser of women.
It is very disturbing given your issues with very young girls in Mexico.
Did you ever have a US visa, Cooper, while you were in New York City?
There's plenty to read online about Danielle Crittenden Frum, Cooper's personal friend and enabler for his Huffington Post connected online stalking, propaganda, and harassment ventures, as well as working hard to get people and animals hurt and killed on behalf of her neocon interests.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=341x7809
People like Crittenden are why the victims are increasing day by day, abusing her position in the media by enabling shills like Cooper. In this case, she uses the Huffington Post with her personal friend puppet to cater to the neocons and also to trick liberals into pursuing the neocon's interest with regard to No Kill and fighting dogs. And many other topics as well apparently. Danielle seems to have her own surrogate war on women going, through an aged frat boy?
DAN SAVAGE. YES!!!
Personally, I like to keep a drama free zone of at least 100 yards about my body at all times but drama has infested the neighborhood here and we seem to be drowning in it.
Here are my thoughts, not that they are worth much. It is amazing to me how much hysteria surrounds pit bulls. Owners of Labs don't live in a state of hyper arousal and hysteria. Collie owners keep pretty quiet. Pug owners are downright tranquil. Pit bulls are bred to kill other dogs, purpose bred. This is what they do and they are good at it. Dog fighting is a felony everywhere but those who claim to love pit bulls continue to breed dogs for an activity that is a violation of federal law. Since the public does not want these bred-to-kill-or-die dogs they end up euthanized in shelters in the United States at the rate of a million a year. Pittery is hysterical about this.
Quiet communities are fed up with the death and suffering and city councils discuss regulating the dogs. Pittery is hysterical about this.
Victims of pit bull attacks are speaking up, speaking to the press and speaking to lawmakers. Pittery is hysterical about this.
Pittery is not hysterical about the deaths caused by their purpose bred dogs. On the contrary, they deny news of actual human death, deny the deaths of thousands of dogs, cats, horses, ponies, all manner of farm animals and wildlife. How odd that actual suffering does not trouble pittery a bit.
Now the hysteria arriving here with Mr. Cooper is something else. He is possibly suffering stress due to the difficulty of publishing an unpublishable book and he may have forgotten that he wrote these words “Now, heated argument is normal, when it comes to contentious issues. What deviates from standard practice, however -- especially on the part of a professional journalist -- is an effort to silence your opponent.” What is Mr. Cooper’s goal here if not to silence his opponents? Cooper wrote these words as well “The issue now goes beyond the unscientific effort to eradicate hundreds of thousands of dogs. It's about the effort to shut people up if they disagree with you.” What is Mr. Cooper’s goal here? Answer, to shut those who disagree with him. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/douglas-anthony-cooper/have-i-been-threatened-fo_b_5992240.html Mr. Cooper apparently forget that he wrote this personal attack. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/douglas-anthony-cooper/merritt-clifton-pit-bulls_b_5866176.html
Clean hands?
"Speaking of which, you'd be wise not to publish other people's details -- zip codes, etc. -- as it might make them less scrupulous about your privacy."
well, that explains a lot. lisa posted her zip code and then i replied by posting mine. start paying attention!
i will vet your reporter, send me her details but please PLEASE do contact Dan Savage!
"the conspiracy theories regarding David Frum and Danielle Crittenden are kind of ill-timed, given that both of them have moved quite a bit to the left in the wake of the Bush admin."
No, these two tried to cloak their neocon lobbying interests in playacting and failed manipulation of liberals and independents.
Which they were soundly spanked for, but which Crittenden still tries to do through Huffington Post.
just in case you are unclear, you definitely have my permission to pass my info onto Dan Savage. He can come over for coffee and some of my old lady bundt cake. lol.
" I spent the entirety of the Bush administration documenting war crimes. "
What, now you think you are Brian Williams? The posturing of an old man never ends.
Aree you ever able to tell the truth?
You spent it on your knees begging trash like New York Magazine and Food and Wine to publish freelance travel puff pieces.
And you couldn't even keep that up.
National Magazine award in Canada? It's the equivalent of toilet paper, and since you freely solicit your friends and gang to write FAKE REVIEWS on Amazon to push your pulp trash, it would not surprise me thart Frum or Crittenden pulled a few strings with relatives or family friends there to throw you a welfare award?
You're a loser. A middle class egotist from Canada with an inferiority complex who is unable to tell the truth about anything.
.
Who is Pat Dunaway?
Is this another woman Cooper has been stalking?
He brings up that name revery five seconds.
I’m pretty serious about LGBT issues, and what finally made it pretty much impossible for me to ignore Craven Desires were the revelations of Dawn James bullying a transgendered teen."
You and your neocon friends have done nothing but spit all over transgenders and the LGBT community.
You would think that Nancy Tranzow would have figured out the right wing, neocon community you reaally are a part of, but she seems somewhat intimidated by you. Hasn't she ever seen a failed old man before, a man desperately trying to get attention from anywhere after he failed at everything he's touched? Who has to resort to soliciting fake reviews on Amazon to try to push his trash?
Posing as a liberal while you work for Frum's and Saul's right wing agriculture lobby concerned only about preventing regulation so they can continue to exploit dogs for profit would be a hint, but she seems a little too easily misled.
The only thing you are serious about is getting attention and promoting yourself, and stalking women like a failed frat boy. And getting others to do it for you too.
"That she's been fully revealed as a shriveled nobody is probably one of the more painful aspects of this episode for her (although the world of hurt to come will nicely eclipse this). Throw a stick on the internet and you’ll hit a few dozen sadists of her ilk: bitter, libelous nonentities trying desperately at the end of their non-careers to convince their fourteen readers that they are people of worth and accomplishment. Weighty citizens. Probing thinkers."
Well, that's all news to me, Cooper. I've been hanging around Craven Desires for a few years, and I've never seen Dawn misrepresent herself, or even promote herself.
I don't think you know much about her or her personality at all, and you're just hurling invective for the hell of it. Which is fine, I guess. Your esteem is not a prize she covets.
It's true that she might be a bit of a misanthrope. Given the content matter of the blog, I can't really say that I blame her.
I think that Cooper has made everything quite clear, as usual. He walks right into it. Thanks, Coop. The grammar school boy reveals his own guilt again.
Still not a word about the proliferation of No Kill grifters and killers like Markwell.
Because Cooper cares nothing about dogs. Harassing and threatening women is the interest, and giving orders to those subservient women who have so little self-respect for themselves that they get anywhere close to this loser old man.
When do you go back to fantasizing about being David Frum?
"Miss" Margo, is it? I find it odd that you have the nerve to call other people unimportant, when your life consists of being used by men for pocket change. You try o present yourself as someone in charge, yet, I have to wonder if it has ever occurred to you that the few dollars you lay down for are controlled by the ones handing it over.....and that goes for your unimportant temp job. The rest of the world defines you as disposable...and now that your friend is standing naked...I hope you use your expertise to help her save whatever dignity she might have.
I posted my zip code??? Lol
Neocon anti-feminist Danielle Crittenden (via her neocon puppet lap dog Douglas Anthony Cooper) has a lot of war crimes and crimes against women to answer for, besides the stalking and harassment.
Apparently Frum's and Crittenden's zeal for war, blood, and death extend to American soil as well.
Danielle Crittenden is bathed in the blood of the victims of the fighting dog lobby (which are mostly children and WOMEN.)
When she gives a stage to her personal friend and lets people lie and propagandize so that they can kill and maim with dogs, AND ALSO STALK WOMEN WHO DARE TO REVEAL THOSE CRIMES, she is responsible.
Especially when the person she lets do that is a personal neocon con job friend like Cooper, who also is involved with harassing victims, mostly WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN, again. Her personal friend and her husband's personal friend.
Crittenden does have a public responsibility, and doing favors for her friends in New York City using a Canadian escape hatch is no excuse. This goes on her report card, especially since Cooper didn't engage in these crimes until she gave him a stage. Her Wikipedia page should be kept updated with the number of people she's gotten killed and maimed.
Her neocon lobbyist husband David Frum has a lot to answer for to in his complicity with the goal of helping his neocon political friends like the Sauls pursue their deadly ambitions, and victims of these dogs (and the breeders and No Kill mafia that market these dogs to the unsuspecting) should have an understanding of who the lead perpetrators are, and why they are doing it.
For these neocons, it's money as usual.
That's the game now for people like Jane and Andrew, and their associates, use these outliers in other countries or via other countries to stalk and harass the people who expose the killing and maiming they are responsible for.
Danielle Crittenden is bathed in the blood of these victims.

If you are interested, this is back in 2010 before neocon anti-feminist Danielle Crittenden was gifted her Huffington Post management spot, and before she is turn gifted Cooper's position to him.
Be aware that this is Frum's personal page.
After her neocon lobbyist husband Frum tripped over his own toes yet again with his posturing and attempts to lure liberals into neocon clutches, his wife as usual was out trying to cover his weak butt
Family friend Cooper comes to the rescue with his inane comments.
It is quite interesting to see Crittenden's dog obsession here as well. Cooper discovered the way to her heart.

i don't really know what is going on with this side plot and i don't have the desire to learn it. and certainly if it involves the huffpo.
" Others are now fully set up to deal with what's left of Dawn James, "
That's a direct threat and a direct admission that he is ordering other people to harass and stalk and do harm after he does the preliminary work, and engage in criminal harassment. It's also a veiled physical threat.
Crittenden needs to be asked why she is enabling this. She can't escape guilt here.
Cooper, bring it on little man. I will chew you up and spit you out. You don't scare anyone and your threats are bullshit to begin with. I would love nothing more than to get your fucking ass in court along with Winograd. So do it, piss ant, just do it and shut your mouth.
Pat, please, before you bust a gasket...get some hormones... LOL
From Lisa Camuso: To the Craven dipshits: Oh dear God...Do ANY of you foamers post under your real name? You expect people and authorities to take you seriously? You all congregate here and talk tough because you can't do it anywhere else.... No one reads these stupid blogs unless for shear entertainment ( like watching monkey pick fleas off each other)... or people who actually believe your madness.... it's like the virtual land of the misfits. I remember getting upset when Dawn wrote that blog about me...then I realized...she's a complete tater-tot...and I became humored by her fictitious story about me....and you all bought into it ! I should have known better as the more I get to know all of you, the more I am convinced that the milk truck missed you...and you're all running the streets. No wonder there's a shortage on tin foil.
Pat, please, before you bust a gasket....get some hormones? LOL
Pat, for the love of God and keeping what little sanity you may have .... Get some hormones ! Lol
Cooper, your windbaggery is second only to Winograd's..."and let me tell you another thing about me..." Christ, you're boring! And Lisa, grow the fuck up. Playing the sixth-grade Mean Girl suits you, but isn't it time to stick to the topic at hand? Someone found an address on the Internet!
LOL ! You're funny and angry all at once !
i don't really know what is going on with this side plot and i don't have the desire to learn it. and certainly if it involves the huffpo. "
It's not a side plot.
It's why you and others are being harassed in this way.
The pit bull issue is at heart a political one, and this is the way that political lobbyists silence exposure and criticism, by using pawns like Cooper to do the dirty work of directly harming the individuals that they find in opposition. Singling them out and harming them in order to silence.
The Sauls and the others are not going to risk attacking you directly. They use cover like their politically-related media friends who in turn use people like Cooper to do the dirty work.
It also is an answer to the question that keeps popping up everywhere, why is the Huffington Post running a pit bull propaganda campaign.
Lisa, could you explain the runins and squabbles you've had with people in your state who have nothing to do with pit bull issues? You seem to get into snits and arguments with people other places too.
okay then, subplot. i have never heard of these people.
Well "Anonymous" ( another gutless wonder).... How about you explain your "diarrhea" then I will answer you...and trust me when I state, I pull no punches....I bet you haven't a single enemy? Massachusetts is a small state...(LOLOL) Similar to your mind...
Lisa's L and O keys are going to wear out at this rate. Maybe you should try H and A for awhile, Lisa, old girl. You sure seem like quite the merry pit nutter!
OMG, have you been dipping into the bingo juice? LOL Promise me you won't seek a career as a stand-up comedian. Again, typing as "anonymous" only proves that you are just chicken shit. I am willing to bet you claim several ailments but you're just addicted to pain meds........Yawn, next.
Dawn James: aka post menopausal, beard growing vegan.... May I suggest you get some red meat in your system...you are really just coming off as a defensive psycho ( no big surprise) playing a stale offense. I am but ONE of MANY victims you have created lies about people and posted them in blog form.... Keep trying to find your way out of your own web, you miserable shriveled up parasitic NOBODY....You live in a dump, you have nothing impressive to your resume...and everyone knows it now...let me exercise my "L" and "O" keys....LOL
Hey ! Lookey, lookey!!!
https://www.thedodo.com/community/dogsandethics/five-dog-pages-you-need-to-stop-linking-to-1091066497.html
Okay misfits...I'm leaving you to complain about everything and everybody....stay Golden!
Man , I just love Lisa .She is the best . Great Pit Bull advocate.
"
Well "Anonymous" ( another gutless wonder).... How about you explain your "diarrhea" then I will answer you...and trust me when I state, I pull no punches....I bet you haven't a single enemy? Massachusetts is a small state"
But those people have a lot to say about your behavior, Lisa.
A lot.
you've had problems for a while.
What I wonder about is whether she can present as normal when you meet her in person, or if the crazy is obvious right off the bat.
Anonymous? it's clear you are afraid to post who you are...so you have bigger problems than the garbage you are trying to project on me...(wink) I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd have a lot to say about you...In fact, I am positive .....because you are here...you are here with people who attack and harass responsible dog owners and people who make a positive difference. You are here with people who post pictures of dead pit bulls; you are here with people who post about killing dogs...you are hanging here with people who post as anonymous, just like you.....and that means "you" have problems...
Jesus, Cooper, why are you wasting time looking for attention on this blog? You have people who PAID you to produce and mail them a book, which you can't seem to deliver. Don't you think you should spend more time on your Galunker project? After all, you promised people they would have the book by spring, after delaying the initial promise date. Spring is halfway over, and you can't even tell people a ship date? Your credibility with your fans is sinking lower than your credibility on this blog.
At what point do you get reported to kick starter for non-delivery of promised goods? Why don't you stop diddling around on your computer, picking blogger fights, and get to work filling your customers orders for that book you seemed to think would be so popular. The excuses are wearing thin with your kick starter supporters.
Lisa complains that comments here are not posted under an actual name but her complaint is posted under ... a false name.
Lisa complains that she had been defamed but wildly defames others in her complaints.
Suspect that screen shots have been made of all her comments here. Suspect she will have a real hard time finding legal representation.
You can't make this stuff up.
"...In fact, I am positive .....because you are here...you are here with people who attack and harass responsible dog owners and people who make a positive difference"
RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERS
The AKC is still apparently speaking out Lisa's hind end.
But she is a byproduct of the AKC, and shows the face that many AKC breeders don't want the public to see.
Where's Holly Stuump, Lisa?
