Sorry to hear this news. But you are right: everyone does need to have a plan in place "just in case". And the more dogs you have, the more detailed your plan needs to be. Hope y'all are able to get all of them satisfactorily placed.

The Collie Rescue Foundation, on whose board I serve, has been involved in the dispersal of a critically ill breeder's collies, so I haven't had time to think about much else. Now that it is over I intend to get it done. We all need to make arrangements for our dogs, even if we intend to live forever!

Brenda, everything I've gotten says "tonight". Wonder if they pulled it? BTW, I sent out the NAIA vet letter over the weekend to about 14 clinics.....probably about 20 vets altogether. I hope that it at least makes them think.................... Have you had a chance to send yours out yet? I changed up the letter just a little bit -- added a paragraph about the ACC. If you want a copy, let me know and I'll email it to you.

This is a little late (seeing as how it's on now), but it's still important to let CNN know EXACTLY how you feel. I've never watched CNN............ and I certainly wouldn't start now.

CNN is set to air a full hour special tonight called _Jane's Fight for Animal Rights_ (http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/issues.with.jane) . It features representatives from the hardcore animal rights fundraising groups, PETA, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Sea Shepherd, In Defense of Animals, Farm Sanctuary, and Mercy for Animals -- not one of which represents mainstream values. It also includes cameo appearances from celebrity spokespeople for animal rights, Bob Barker, Pierce Brosnan, and others used to legitimize extremist views. Media depends on ratings to stay on the air, so it's understandable that TV networks sometimes select groups whose media-grabbing antics and out-of-the-mainstream views makes them newsworthy, at least as representing a min ority point of view. What makes CNN's show so reprehensible is their lack of balance, their lack of providing people representing the majority view the opportunity to refute extremist claims with fact-based evidence. The result is that CNN's show is providing radicals a platform to be seen as America's go-to resource when it comes to animal issues. Thus, PETA, a group that has refused to condemn violence committed in the names of animals, HSUS, a group with a spokesperson who said his goal is the abolition of agriculture, and Sea Shepherd whose leader, Paul Watson was recently placed on Interpol's International Wanted List all get free publicity and the CNN bully pulpit. It's vitally important that you tell CNN how you feel about their program and about the groups they've selected to represent animal issues. CNN needs to understand that pandering to sensationalism not only hurts the people who actually care for animals, it hurts the animals thems elves. Let's use this opportunity to educate CNN about the animal rights agenda and how it differs from true animal welfare.
