Take a look at PETA's new TV commercial. Friends in the East say its getting PRIME air time: http://www.peta.org/feat/abc/video2.asp If you want to fight back, donate to the National Animal Interest Alliance and the NAIA Trust (www.naiaonline.org). We need an NRA-type organization to collect money and spend it telling the truth. NAIA has started an on-line Shelter Project that shows ACTUAL disposition of shelter dogs in each state. It's not complete yet but you can see it here: http://www.naiashelterproject.org/charts_map.cfm In Michigan, for example, we euthanize about 50,000 dogs a year, or about 2.1% of all the dogs in the state. Even if every euthanized dog were adoptable and adopted, we would still need about 200,000 new dogs a year to replace the roughly 250,000 dogs a year that die in Michigan (from natural causes). States like Massachusetts and California have done such a good job that their shelters are now adopting dogs from Puerto Rico, Taiwan and other third world countries. We have the truth and they have lies. They have money to put their lies on television. If we don't all act fast, the big lie of canine overpopulation will destroy us. Permission to forward.
