This page is dedicated to Queso whose life was so cruelly taken away. Though the "justice" system did not punish those responsible, I'm sure that Queso knows that he is loved and will never be fogotten. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
MESSAGE FROM QUESO I look down on the world today from such a better place. God opened up his loving arms and now I�m home and safe. I was one of God�s creations so innocent and small for you to take my life away makes no sense at all. They said it was not cruelty, I was just a stray that�s all, who gave you the right to make that life or death call? I was not scared or lonely; I felt I found my place on earth, the place that I called home. I will pray each day for you two, judge and jury too, as Jesus said upon the cross �They know not what they do.� Each day I hope that you will come to understand that life and death is not a right to be decided by human hands. To the thousands who have raised your voice in memory of me: Keep up the fight the world will change, let Queso (like the Alamo) be the fight word for your campaign. Queso (More than just a stray) CeCelia Brownell |

Queso, you have passed over the Rainbow Bridge because of the inhumanity of humans. Your life will live in all of us until we pass over the Bridge and can love you individually. You have not suffered and died in vain. Nancy Twitty President Lake Whitney Humane Society Whitney, Texas 76627 254-874-5430 |

A man of kindness, to his beast is kind, Brutal actions show a brutal mind. Remember, He who made the brute, Who gave thee speech and reason, formed him mute; He can't complain; but God's omniscient eye Beholds his cruelty. He hears his cry. He was destined thy servant and thy drudge, But know this: His creator is thy judge. ~~~~~~~old Shaker poem Cathy Tierney St. Louis, Missouri |

To: Clint Bowers and Derek Brehm Although you were acquitted of your heinous crime against animals in a court of law, by your own admission you were proven guilty, and guilty you will remain in the eyes of animal lovers everywhere. I doubt if I will ever find it in my heart to forgive you for what you did to Queso. But I have a sneaky feeling that a Higher court has heard our appeals for justice. So, I just want you to know that I will be praying for you. I will pray that, despite your acquittal, the magnitude of the evil deed will continue to overshadow and permeate every aspect of your pathetic lives for the rest of your days. I will pray that, no matter where you may run, or where you may transfer, that someone in that area will have heard--and will inform others with--the story of your heroic deed! I will pray that, several times a day over the next sixty years, these people will remind you of what you did, in some way, shape, or form! I will pray that every prospective employer you speak with will be an animal lover who has heard your glorious story! I pray that every one of your future coworkers will have heard it also, and will accordingly bestow upon you the epithets you've so justly deserve. I will pray that, in the event that you have girlfriends, that they are, or will become, aware of your past and urge you to get counseling. I pray that, if you refuse, that they leave you long before you turn abusive towards them, and that any other women who enter your lives will do the same. I will pray that someday, this tale will come to the attention of your children and your grandchildren, all of whom, I pray, will love cats. I pray that you will be at loss for words to excuse your actions, and, should you lie, that they will still come to know the truth somehow, which will diminish your status considerably in their eyes. Despite the fact that you, and others like you, have permanently tarnished my faith in humanity, I will pray that you will never turn into the sociopathic killers so many people think you might. However, in case you do, I will pray that people also remember the name of the coach who coddled you, the lawyer who defended you, and the district attorney who dismissed the charges against you. I will also pray that those who do remember will make certain that they remind others. I will pray that you come to realize the pain you inflicted upon Queso, and on those who loved him, mentally if not physically. I will pray that each night, before you drift into unconsciousness, that you will be haunted by the memory of Queso's caterwauling screams for mercy, by the burning of his blood upon your hands, by the shattered, tormented faces of the employees of Taco Cabana who loved and fed him, by the angry voices of the many accusers who know you for what you are! And finally, I pray that someday, somehow, you will become truly remorseful for what you've done. Perhaps then, and only then, I will be able to forgive you. Although, on the latter hope, I have a feeling I might be praying forever. Althea Scott |

RAINBOW BRIDGE Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows & hills for all our special friends so they can run & play together. There is plenty of food, water, & sunshine & our friends are warm & comfortable. All the animals who have been ill & old are restored to health & vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole & strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days & times gone by. The aminals are happy & content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run & play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops & looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he brgins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carring him faster & faster. You have been spotted, & when you & your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, & you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....... Merrilee Tiensvold |

I received an e-mail which let me know, that a stray cat had been murdered, one named Queso. The details were horrible, almost too much to bear, the murderers were caught but treated much better than what was fair. "Not guilty" the jury said just the other day, and with murder those two monsters got away. Now I'm left feeling empty, wondering what to do. My heart is broken; much more than just feeling blue. "Where is justice?" I ask as I cry, The "not guilty" verdict is nothing but a lie. Now I'm wondering how do I let go? Can someone answer that? Queso was important. he wasn't "just a stray cat". But I guess all I can do is try to help the other Quesos in this cruel world we live in, Help to ensure that something like this won't happen again.
