Queen Midge rocking her costume early!
I live in the Valley and this was posted our Crimebusters Page. It really hit home that I haven’t done enough for the SMPD to show them my appreciation for all they do for our “not so little beachside community”. I have grown up in and been a member of the Santa Monica community for more than 4 decades. (Yes, I moved the valley- cheaper houses!) I am the first to admit that I have taken our officers for granted. So, from the valley to you, SMPD......Santa Monica Pet Medical Center, and I, Kirstin Pirkl, appreciate you. Thank you for all that you do.
If you are a Law Enforcement Officer and need a break, you can come park outside our house (business) . If you are thirsty, we will bring you a drink. If you are hungry, we will fix (order) you something to eat and serve you a good strong cup of coffee. If you are hot, we will invite you inside to cool off. If you need backup, we will stand with you. If you need to cry, we will hug you and let you. If you need to talk, we will listen. If you need to pray, we will kneel with you. If you are wrong, we will tell you. If you are right, we will support you.
We only ask that you don't lose faith in Americans. We are NOT all against you. Take off your sunglasses and see the good people that are here for you. We are not as loud and obnoxious as these media seekers. We are strong and waiting to follow your lead. Some of you are our husbands, sons, nephews, friends, and we personally know how good your heart is.
God bless you and your family and Thank You all for all you do to keep me and my family safe!
Copy and paste..in support of our good men and women in blue. 💙👮♀️🇺🇸
Feel free to unfriend me if you disagree. ❤️🤍💙

This is P-76. He died a horrible death from rat poison. Sorry for the sad photo, fans, but this is the reality of what happens to us mountain lions and other wildlife when we get exposed to rat poison. I hope this makes you stop using these terrible poisons.
PLEASE! I don't want more of us to die.
We need to ban these poisons now! Take action to support AB1788--see info at Friends of Griffith Park https://www.friendsofgriffithpark.org/the-unlearned-lessons-of-ddt/ or Poison Free Malibu
From the National Park Service : P-76 is the sixth collared mountain lion to die of coagulopathy and the third in the last two years. He was captured and collared by California Department of Fish & Wildlife officers in November 2019 in an urban neighborhood in Northridge, just outside of Los Angeles.
“These two cases show us that different non-target species are continuing to be exposed to these toxicants, including an array of different poisons, with effects up to and including death from uncontrolled bleeding,” said Dr. Seth Riley, the wildlife branch chief and a UCLA adjunct associate professor. “We are also continuing to see lots of cases of severe mange disease in bobcats in the area. Between poisons, disease, and the massive Woolsey Fire, it has been a tough go recently for our wild cats in the park.”
In the case of P-76, his collar went on “mortality mode” the night of January 29, 2020. His carcass was recovered the following morning by NPS and CDFW biologists in the Santa Susana Mountains, north of Highway 118. His body was submitted to the California Animal Health and Food Safety (CAHFS) Lab in San Bernardino for a necropsy and testing, as with B-372. The results, which came back only recently, showed exposure to five compounds (brodifacoum, bromadiolone, chlorophacinone, difethialone, and diphacinone), which include first- and second-generation poisons.
NPS researchers have documented the presence of anticoagulant rodenticide compounds in 26 out of 27 local mountain lions that they have tested, including in a three-month-old kitten. "
