How we treat animals reflects who we are as a people. Care, compassion, love, understanding… those are the traits that make us human. Let’s start showing it.

(In response to a February 29, 2008 post on the Appleton Post Crescent website on the connection between animal and human abuse)

I am still shocked that Wisconsin does not have a division of the ASPCA, nor any segments in the police departments there for animal abuse and rights.

Well, today I officially received my very own ‘Hit Man’ scam email. I’m so proud!! *wipes small tear from eye*

For those of you wondering, it’s a lot like all those relatvies I never knew I had in Nigeria who have emailed me wanting to leave me money. Except this time, I’m supposed to GIVE someone my money so they won’t go through with the hit AND give me all the tape-recorded conversations from my would be assailant.

As a community - and by that, I mean WORLD community - we need to put more emphasis into no-kill shelters and animal care centers. Too often, I have heard stories from members of the community about taking good, loving, healthy animals to a shelter, only to find out that within a day or two they were euthanized.

There are so many options out there, if folks would only take the time to act with their hearts, instead of their ‘bottom line’. Folks need to get educated, act up, voice their concerns and just plain get out there and help the ones who cannot help themselves.
