One thing that was pointed out to me recently regarding PETA killing dogs, or the "animal welfare" groups allowing large numbers of dogs to be killed in shelters has to do with their numbers game......They let them die (or do nothing to help with all of their money) because they can say..."We need mandatory spay and neuter...look at all of the dogs being euthanized in shelters" In many states there is no accurate way to account for the actual number of dogs in shelters that are euthanized. They (HSUS, etc) spit out loads of statistics, but they are the ones "collecting" the data.....

We are going to lose, because we are preoccupied with legislation, when what we really need is PUBLIC OPINION behind us. We need to give statistics on how MSN laws do nothing to fix the stray dog/cat problem. We need to demonstrate how these laws have failed, and why. We need to tell the public about dogs being imported, how Peta murders dogs they "rescue" The world needs to know the truth. Thanks Syd In a message dated 8/20/2008 7:07:40 P.M.
