much. Unfortunately, they did not,,, because he said to Greg that no one
did which was disappointing – but the important thing is that he knows now that
I am not,, and they can use it against me in the
future. I actually did cry
towards the end of Greg’s testimony (he testified as my neighbor), when he said
that he does not know anyone who treat even human as well as she treats her cats
.. and he said, if you ever lose a cat, and Hideyo happens to be the one who
found you and take care your cat,, you are the luckiest person.. I can’t think
of anyone better to take care of cats.. I also did the same thing when
introducing your and Nina’s letters…. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
On Behalf Of MacKenzie, Kerry
N. Once again, you prove
what a hero you are, Hideyo. You know we are all behind you. Go for it.
I'm glad you had Greg
there; what a jerk the city atty is. How dare he make such an
assumption? Who the hell does he think he is? Well, he doesn't know what a
fight(er) he has on his hands, does he? I want to help with
a contribution to your legal fees; I'll email you directly
tonight. You are just THE BEST,
Hideyo! much love and big hugs
Kerry PS: do you really think the people you thought were going to speak for you
did not? I guess it sure sounds like that. As an ex boss of mine who's departed
this world once said, People can be so disappointing. (Well, we
all know that, don't we?) My jaw hit the floor when I read yr subject field.
Like all of us I'd been thinking about you and waiting and wondering all day.

Message----- Thank you so very much for all your
support, especially, Michelle – I am so grateful for everything you have done
for me. I had a hearing this morning, to
make it short, I lost. I cried for about 5 mins but now I am back in
business. I am going to appeal to District
court. Michelle, what came down was that,
as we expected, the hearing officer does not have authority to declare that the
law is unconstitutional so he had to deny my appeal. But I did establish
that I’m not a hoarder, they agreed that I take such a good care of animals –
the only issue is the sq. ft calculation of the law, which has no rational
base. The city attorney was really harsh on me, I guess all the people who
I thought talked to him off records, they did not.. so based on the report, he
made an assumption that I was a hoarder and he came down really hard on me..
here I am.. I am trying to defend my case as a lawyer who has no idea what I am
doing.. but during the break, Greg talked to him, and he calm down.. again they
acknowledge the fact that there is no nuisance and all the animals are very well
cared for, which was a big deal.. the only thing I have to fight against is
about the law being unconstitutional… After the hearing was over, the hearing
officer told me that, I made a good argument,, appeal to District court… you can
do it!.. So the meantime, Greg thought the city attorney is probably
willing to make a deal with me as it’s going to be expensive to go to District
court.. or Supreme Court for the matter as I am going to go all the way if I
have to protect my cats! If the law is find unconstitutional, the city
will risk the entire pet limit being knocked down, so Greg feels that they might
not want to do that. Anyway,, I wanted to give you the
update. I have a criminal hearing coming up
on 1/12 – Greg thought that I should make a same argument and if some reason,
the law is found unconstitutional at the metro level, it will be easier to win
at District level.. We will see. Though I did not know what I was doing..
I am proud of myself of my accomplishment – if I ended up going to district or
supreme level and ended up striking out the pet limit law,, I guess that’s
what’s meant to be.. I will not give up.. not just yet… everyone, please keep
praying for me and my babies. I am also thinking of seeing Mayor
