The need to educate is out there in suburbia, where they think meat is somehow magically produced in the back of the store... packaged for sale. And milk comes from those nice cows in that big green field, already bottled. Educate those people who have no idea what it's like to run a well cared-for kennel, who think that anybody who breeds, breeds unhealthy, genetically malformed pups in dirty filthy cages, but somehow, when those pups end up in a pound are miraculously healthy, socialized and ready for their adoptive home. The public needs to know that HSUS spends less than 1/2 of 1% on direct animal care and over 55% of the donations go to their salaries and their retirement funds, a high percentage (perhaps 40%) of the donations is plowed back into more fundraising, and more than half of THAT goes back into the fundraisers' pocket... many of which are tied back to HSUS. www.humanewatch.org Stormy On Dec 12, 2010, at 7:33 AM, MORGAN LEWIS wrote: Wonder if we could do it on the LIST Morgan Lewis, RPh.

I read everything I can and have called so many different legislators in so many different states. If any of you can be successful in getting 1 ear to listen to you...it is a baby step. We may not have a lot of money in this fight, but we have experience and knowledge and passion. Our dogs/pets are worth it. I want my grand children's kids to have the right to own a dog too.
