CRUELTY TRIAL FINALLY -
after nearly two years in progress and several delays and postponements!
The King County sheriff called Pasado’s Safe Haven when they seized animals in desperate need in October of 2007. Nearly two years later will we finally see justice? Pre trial motions were heard in the cruelty trial of Jake Rider on Monday July 6th, 2009.

Pasado's was there to be a voice for the animals and ensure that justice will be served!
We support King County Prosecuting Attorney Zach Elsner and applaud all of those who have worked tirelessly on this case. Our deepest appreciation to those who have made their voice known for the animals who made it, and for those who never had a chance.

July 8th - Jury was picked
July 9th - Opening statements will be heard
July 20th - Anticipating final verdict

Case No: 08-1-00331-7

Recovered inseparable duo Eddie Cheddar & Alley McVeal pop their heads through to say hello on the Pasado's Safe Haven farm. 20 months have passed since we rescued sick and starving animals from a Covington, WA location.  Sadly, some of the animals did not make it.  The others have been greatly loved and cared for and are finally healthy and happy. You can help us bring justice for these animals. Please use your voice to make sure that justice is served for the animals who suffered so tremendously and also for the ones who didn't get to live to know true care and love.  Join Pasado's Safe Haven at the trial!  We will be there in full force with signs to show our support for the animals.  Take a stand with us! Can't come to the trial but want to help these animals?  Please send your polite and professional comments to the prosecutor here. Click here to read the full story here.
