And this is why I love you, babe. Unfortunately, there are many idiots in the world that give everyone a bad name.

Wow not even sure where to start with it all. These companies are exstremists basically. It kills me when I see these videos because they are sooooo good you really do want to send in cash. Do some research on PETA...quite frankly its scary. They kill over 90% of the animals that they "save". They have links paying money to terrorist organizations that blow up labs. Now...do I like animal testing....no...do I understand a need at times...well kind of. Listen I am the biggest liberal when it comes to tree hugging and animals. Some would say over the top even. (though very conservative with other views) But companies such as this are just scary. Look at HSUS.....less than 2% of the money that they bring in (which is MASSIVE AMOUNTS) is funneled down to the local shelters. Oh they tell you that they are saving animals....but in reality they are paying lobbiests to do their bidding.

Let me tell ya....3-4 years ago before I ever did some investigating if PETA asked me I would of stripped for pictures for them. (you know those ads) But someone turned me onto doing some research and that is how all of my knowledge changed. That is why it is so important to educate ppl in regards to these organizations. Educate ppl that when you go to Pets Mart and donate that dollar. What are you REALLY paying it towards?? I try to tell eveyrone about these organizations whenever the time presents itself. You do not even have to go into a huge amount of detail. Just tell them to do research on it. If anything it will make them think.



Ok...off my soapbox now....lol:rolleyes: sorry carry on...:oops:
