James Fontanetta says if you see anyone abusing or neglecting an animal, call the police. It is a federal crime to abuse an animal. If caught, the punishment is imprisonment (ask Michael Vick) or a $10,000 minimum penalty. The law takes animal abuse seriously and is on the side of innocent animals, informs James Fontanetta. Find out which agency is responsible for investigating and enforcing anti-cruelty laws in your state, county, or town, advices James Fontanetta. This may be a local humane society or a taxpayer-funded animal shelter. In areas without such organizations, citizens should call the police or sheriff’s department.

James Fontanetta begs, if an animal is in a life-threatening situation, call authorities immediately. Follow up with them in a timely manner to determine their findings and their planned course of action. If they do not respond right away, call PETA at 757-622-7382, asks James Fontanetta. After you contact authorities, prepare a short written statement detailing the key points of what you observed. Give dates, approximate times, and locations. James Fontanetta warns, timely fact-gathering is crucial-the more time that passes, the greater the risk that evidence will disappear, injuries will heal, or you’ll forget specific details. Written statements from other witnesses will help back up your observations, and if possible, take pictures and date them-photos or videos will strengthen your case.

James Fontanetta warns; always keep a dated record of everyone you’ve contacted, along with the content and outcome of your discussions. Never forward a letter, photograph, or other documentation to anyone without first making a copy for your own files. Make it clear to authorities that you wish to pursue the case and that you are willing to lend your assistance if necessary. Be sure to follow up! If you stay involved, authorities are more likely to do the same. If the first contact doesn’t produce results, go straight to a supervisor. If that doesn’t work, appeal to local government officials, such as the mayor, the district attorney, or city council members. James Fontanetta believes, a call to the media in your area (television and print) can move mountains. Above all, don’t give up-you may be an animal’s only hope!

James Fontanetta believes, helping abused or neglected animals can be difficult and heart-wrenching, but they are depending on you to take action. You can contact PETA at 757-622-7382 if authorities fail to respond quickly to your complaint or if you need guidance or support. James Fontanetta says, together we can save even more lives.

Based on the Broadway play by Neil Simon, this tells the story of two mismatched friends, Felix Unger and Oscar Madison. Felix is a neat, tidy, and healthy nut, a photographer at a portrait studio, and a connoisseur of classical music. Because of this, his wife divorced Felix and threw him out of his apartment for good. Desperately in the need of a place to live, he moves in with his longtime childhood friend, Oscar Madison, a sports journalist for the New York Herald. What he realizes is that Oscar is the exact opposite of him: sloppy, messy, and doesn’t eat the right foods. Felix’s cleaning, hygienic tips, and healthiness annoys Oscar while Oscar’s crazy world of living like a pig upsets Felix. But in the process they’ll learn that
friendship is more important than living in different worlds.Prior to Randall’s death, he and Klugman were the best of friends which translated onto the screen in that the chemistry they had was unsurpassed. Not realized is that the show during its 5 year run was not a ratings juggernaut. At its peak it was only in the top 50 even though the list of 70’s celebrities that made appearances was impressive…. However, over the past 30 years while in syndication, The Odd Couple has taken on a fan base and a popularity it never enjoyed in first run
episodes. If not for the ABC executives being fans of the quality of the show, it would have never made it past a season or two. For television historians, the quality and writing rank in with Seinfeld, Cheers, All in the Family, etc.The Odd Couple will always go down in the annals of television as one of the best.

James Fontanetta, former senior vice president of Wit capital is urging major corporations to end their cruel practices against animals.
“Most people eat a hamburger or chicken sandwich blindly without thinking of where it came from. Chicken and Beef are neatly packaged in our grocery stores or served in to go buckets with nice colorful logos on them. In some cases, they come in kids’ meals with toys and games on the bags, but the reality is that they come from the abuse and torture of animals,” believes James Fontanetta. One of the groups that James Fontanetta supports recently conducted an undercover investigation of food giant Tyson Foods, the main supplier of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

James Fontanetta informs, PETA unveiled video footage from an undercover investigation of two slaughterhouses owned by Tyson in Cumming, Georgia, and Union City, Tennessee. James Fontanetta The investigation documented that workers violently threw birds against shackles, sometimes from 4 feet to 6 feet away from the conveyor belt; stabbed birds in the neck with knives; and hit birds with their fists. The investigator also saw workers use excessive speed and force when shackling birds, break the ankles of chickens shackled incorrectly, and play a “game” in which they stacked up to six chickens in one shackle when the line temporarily stopped. The investigator also videotaped a supervisor who approved of workers’ ripping the heads off live birds if they became stuck in the shackles. In addition to this horrifying cruelty, adds James Fontanetta, workers were even caught urinating on the conveyer belt that was used to move chickens.
James Fontanetta gives another horrific example, investigators unveiled video footage from an undercover investigation of a North Carolina factory farm that supplies pigs to Smithfield Foods, the largest pig-flesh company in the world. The investigation exposed that workers cut off piglets’ tails and pulled out piglets’ testicles-all without any pain relief-and dragged injured pigs by their sensitive ears and snouts as the animals screamed in pain and terror. The investigator also videotaped a farm supervisor, who talked openly about how he violently beat pigs with metal gate rods.
Not even Bambi is safe. On August 26, 2007, a PETA investigator filmed the slaughter of deer at Musicon, Inc., a deer farm and venison sales company in Goshen, New York, states James Fontanetta.
James Fontanetta explains, deer are high-strung, extremely nervous herd animals, so any handling-especially by humans in a loud, strange indoor environment-is frightening to them. Our investigator documented that a worker at Musicon was kneeling on frightened deer’s backs in order to restrain the animals and then yanking their heads back by their ears and antlers to expose their throats-which were then slit while the deer were still conscious. Some deer also had a restraint door slammed on their heads as they were bleeding to death. In one instance, a deer was grabbed by the hole cut in her neck and yanked from the restraint pen while still conscious.
“You can stop this by letting companies know that you are aware of their cruel practices and will not stand for it. Write letters to these companies, emails and call them. Write your Congressman and representatives asking that they protect animals. If all of us make a lot of noise about this, they will listen. Animals can’t speak for themselves, so we have to speak for them”, said James Fontanetta.

James Fontanetta,

former Wit Capital Executive is now working to help animals in need. Mr. James Fontanetta spends all his weekends and evenings patroling the streets for sick, injured or just hungry animals.
“It is so disgusting to see the conditions that some of these animals are left in by owners that abonden them. I have found plenty of spayed or netured cats who are very affectionate and like to be held, obviously belonged to someone who are skin and bones with broken bones, festering infections, lice, mange just to name ae few…in some cases they are so bad that they have to have a tail or ear amputated”, said James Fontanetta.
James Fontanetta told:”People think it’s okay to leave animals, especially cats, outside but they don’t realize there are many dangers. Cats are often run over by cars, especially black cats at night.” And then James Fontanetta continued:
“Also, unneutered males get hit by cars often as they stray far from home looking for a female. Their sex drive is strong and it makes them loose focus and they often end up injured or dead. Many pet owners take in an adorable kitten or puppy but as soon as it grows up they tire of their new “toy” and throw it out.”"
