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…  |
Nicole - Trying to understand legislation is never easy for anyone and no one is upset. Topknot is giving her opinion and there is food for thought on what she has posted and I am sure other people could come along and say some of her comments are incorrect because of interpretation of the law. I have been reviewing this legislation for a long time myself and I do see problems and so I continue to read all I can. Whenever something comes up like this it is important to read both sides and ask questions so you are fully informed.
If you do a google search regarding Breeders against PAWS you will pull up many threads but be careful of the dates.
Remember, you can only save one dog at a time.
