One of my best friends mailed this to Victoria Advocate editorials regarding the write up they had on the front page of their Sunday paper. The article the paper published is posted here by stedmans mommy Gotta Read This etc etc. Some of us are from Victoria and were extremely PI**ED by their article!

IN THIS TIME OF POVERTY, PARENTS BEATING AND KILLING THEIR CHILDREN AND ALL THE HORRORS OF ALL THE WARS , SOME IN COUNTRY'S I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF, PLEASE HEAR OUR VOICES. FOR THE PARENTS OF ALL CHILDREN WHO HAVE LOST THEM BECAUSE SOME THRILL SEEKING MONSTER WANTS THEIR FIFTEEN SECONDS OF 'FAME', HEAR OUR WEEPING. FOR ALL THE ANIMALS WHO ARE BORN INTO THIS WORLD WHO ARE THEN STARVED, NEGLECTED, BEATEN AND TOSSED AWAY LIKE TRASH, PLEASE HELP THEM. THEY ARE LIKE SMALL HELPLESS BABIES. I KNOW HOW MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE THERE ARE WHO LOVE AND WORK SO +HARD TO BRING JOY AND HEALTH TO GOD'S CREATURES. MY HUSBAND AND I DO WHAT WE CAN AND FEEL BAD THAT WE CAN'T DO MORE. WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THE EVER GROWING SADNESS OF OVER POPULATION THAT COULD BE SO EASILY CORRECTED. WE ARE ALL AWARE OF WHAT HAS TO BE DONE IF IF ANIMALS DON'T GET ADOPTED. WE ARE IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT ABOUT EDUCATING THE PUBLIC. ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS OF OUR ENTIRE WORLD BUT------------ THE VICTORIA ADVOCATE WENT BEYOND GOOD TASTE OR EVEN GOOD SENSE IN THEIR SUNDAY FRONT PAGE AND OTHER FOLLOWING PAGES.SHOWING FRONT PAGE PHOTOS OF A WOMAN HOLDING A SMALL INNOCENT PUPPY WHO WAS KISSING HER FACE AND I IMAGINE , FEELING FOR THAT INSTANT, SAFE AND LOVED. ALL THE WHILE, SHOWING ANOTHER PERSON , HOLDING A SYRINGE TO END THE PUPPY'S LIFE ON EARTH THE NEXT MINUTE. THE LAST OF THE HORRIBLE TASTELESS PICTURES WAS OF THE SAME PRECIOUS PUPPY , ONLY THIS ONE WAS OF HIS OR HERS DEAD BODY. WE KNOW THE SHAPE THE WORLD IS IN AND IT IS THE FAULT OF MAN. WE KNOW ALSO WE'LL NEVER HAVE A SAFE WORLD AND THAT PEOPLE AND ANIMALS WILL BE HUNGRY AND SUFFER AND DIE BUT FOR THE CARE AND CONCERN OF A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO CARE,
BUT THERE IS NO NEED OR REASON TO HAVE THAT HARD AND SAD FACT PRINTED ON THE FRONT PAGES OF YOUR NEWSPAPER FOR YOUNG CHILDREN TO SEE OR EVEN GRAND PARENTS LIKE AL AND ME. THIS HAS SICKENED AND SHOCKED MANY, MANY PEOPLE. IF I STILL LIVED IN VICTORIA I WOULD CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION AT ONCE. YOU MUST REALLY BE HARD UP FOR NEWS IN THAT TOWN !!!!!!!!! NOT EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM YOU OR SEE THIS PRINTED BY YOU..ALLEN AND JEANNE MOORE GAUGHAN OF SAN ANTONIO, TX.
