I did not want to upset anyone. I came here for help and advice because I really want to dedicate some of me ($ and efforts) to help and support helpless animals.
I have been trying to read and understand and I truly thought that PAWS was created with the animals best interests in mind. I certainly would never want to support something that actually hurt and not really helped solve the problem/issues.
Unfortunately, the information isn’t always so user friendly. But, I think that what I am learning from you all is that PAWS is not the route to go, or at least until they are clearer and more focused. I am also learning that I need to learn more and more and more and then I can educate others. I am also going to donate because: I DO NOT NEED STARBUCKS ANYMORE, that $$$ can go to a better place. And I can also help with writing to officials.
My life so far has given me a few circumstances that have absolutely crushed my emotional strength. I am a very compassionate person, I want to help everyone and I really try to, to the point where it engulfs me. I am so sadden and embarrassed to say, but I can’t mental handle seeing the worst of the worst or any instance where I just could help at that moment. I would be haunted every second and it would absolutely ruin my mental well being. This is why I can donate and write (for now). I truly hope to physically be a part of something, somehow, someday…
