TOPIC Will be: Youth for Animals main campaign is about freeing Shankar (an African elephant in the Delhi Zoo)
Who is Shankar?
In 1998, a 26 month-old male African elephant was presented as a diplomatic gift by Zimbabwe to India. He was named ‘Shankar’ after India’s 9th President Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma. Shankar, now over 26 years old, has lived his entire life in the Delhi zoo (National Zoological Park, NZP). Since 2001 when his sole companion Vambai passed away, Shankar has lived in solitary confinement.
Shankar is chained for 17 hours of the day and does not have adequate space to move around when he is let out. Much like humans, elephants are social beings and suffer neurological distress when put in solitary confinement. Shankar constantly demonstrates stereotypical behaviour like swaying and head-bobbing, a key sign of distress (see video) In fact, Shankar’s aggressive behaviour has necessitated the zoo authorities to permanently close the viewing pathway since he could be a danger to visitors.

VIA Debbie Dahmer : I am the Creator for the Florida 2022 -HB 6035- Quality of Long-Term Care Facility Improvement Trust Fund AMENDMENT CHANGES for : Removes provisions requiring portion of punitive damages awarded for certain claims relating to nursing homes & assisted living facilities to be deposited into Quality of Long-Term Care Facility Improvement Trust Fund.
Nursing home plaintiffs could pocket all punitive damages under Amber Mariano’s proposal
The AMENDMENT changes to the HB 6035 (2022) would eliminate the Plaintiffs being MANDATED to pay 50% of the Punitive Damages awarded by the Jury for Wrongful Death Cases in Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities to Help Improve The Quality of Care in them.
Rep Amber Mariano’s former Punitive Damages AMENDMENT house bills introduced that have died in legislation past years:
Ref: HB 6065 Quality of Long-Term Care Facility Improvement Trust Fund-4/30/2021 House – Died in Health Care Appropriations Subcommittee HB 6065 >>https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/6065
REF: My wonderful father George Dahmer aka former Pro Wrestler Chief White Owl back in Feb-2008 had dementia. He ran away from home. He was baker acted to a hospital for meds he was on. Then he was put in a nursing home for 120 days for evaluation for meds. He could walk, talk, and feed himself when he entered the nursing home. After 63 days he was transferred to another nursing home- my father couldn’t walk, talk, or feed himself. It was Devastating. George was diagnosed in 2nd nursing home: May-2008: (1) Lost 32 lbs in 2 months (2) Dehydration (3) Malnutrition (4) Both Rotary Caps turned (the staff dropped him and didn’t notify family till 4 days later) (5) Over-medicated (6) Lost Clothes (7) Severely Under-Staffed (8) The nursing home had no doctors on site 24/7 (9) Decubitus Ulcers on both heels of his feet from putting wrong size shoes on him- At later date in hospital they wanted to amputate both feet. (10) Bed Sores Stage 4 that led to his horrific death.
The Nursing Home was found GUILTY of Wrongful Death and Falsifying Records of my father’s death- George Dahmer aka Former Pro Wrestler Chief White Owl in Nov 2012. The nursing home appealed the Punitive Damages and lost 3 times ending in June 2015. This has been a tough and long road but will reach its destination all in good time with your help and support. . Myself and family feel like we have been fined and punished for his death. Slapped in the face.. So Injustice what has happened We Want Total Justice for his family and other Victims out there in Florida.
