>Subject: [OnTheRoadAgain] HELP SAVE-Angel's Gate
>Hospice-Ft.Salonga,LI,NY-For ill & Disabled Animals

>Crossposting: Please...forward this to as many people as possible. This
>is a wonderful place on Long Island that takes in and cares for very sick
>animals, and they are attempting to close them down. Thank you.
>
> ~ Please Forward Widely ~
>
> Where do the few neighbors against the animal hospice or the Smithtown
>officials considering voting against Angel's Gate suggest that the dying,
>deformed, abandoned and homeless animals go? There is nowhere else.
>;
> Since 1992, Angel's Gate Hospice has been a haven for terminally ill and
>disabled animals in Fort Salonga, NY. They have been under seige from some
>neighbors who want it to close, and the animals need your help NOW.
>Numerous attempts to have Angel's Gate found in any type of violation have
>failed. As a result, some are attempting to get the Smithtown Town Board
>to change zoning code 322 to add "animal hospice" to "kennels and animal
>hospitals" which are not permitted in their area. "We're looking into
>adding it to the same category...," said Smithtown Councilman Ed Wehrheim.
>
> Please attend & join us to speak in support
> A public hearing is scheduled for THIS THURSDAY, June 15 at 8:00 p.m. at
>the Eugene A. Cannataro Senior Citizen Center at 420 Middle Country Road in
>Smithtown. (link to directions at bottom)
>
> The Town Attorney's office confirmed that anyone wanting to speak will
>be permitted the opportunity to do so. Following the meeting and public
>discussion, the town council will vote on whether Angel's Gate should be
>considered like an animal hospital and kennel which are businesses.
>Angel's Gate was the first of it's kind, nonpofit charity animal hospice
>and has operated at the same location for over 14 years. It is NOT a
>business. In addition, they consider among it's family, volunteers of all
>ages with mental retardation and head injuries who consider the animals
>their children, and who are fulfilled to make a difference to these special
>creatures every day.
>
> The Town Board voted unanimously on May 9 to schedule this June 15
>hearing, and said that if the amendment is passed, Angel's Gate will NOT be
>grandfathered in and will have to comply with the new law. Even if Angel's
>Gate was to get a special exception permit from the town, they would be
>limited only to people living at the location and one employee to help the
>animals. That's impossible. Help to take the writing OFF The wall.
