One person really can make a difference. The following is post from OCt 8th, posted by "stedmansmommy" http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...light=horrible After reading the article, I sent an email to the reporter that wrote the article. The following is an email I recieved from him today. Below that is my email to him. Jeanie: Can I use the following portion of the original email you sent? I've pasted it below. I can use it without attributing it to you -- I could potentially attribute it to 'a concerned citizen who e-mailed the victoria advocate' -- but i think your thoughts would have more impact if i could tell people who the words are coming from. That said, can i have your last name, and can i attribute the quotes to you? Better yet, do you have a telephone number I can contact you at?

I would like to see the media push for spay/neuter clinics. The majority of the people who are responsible for these animals are too poor to pay to have their dogs spayed/neutered. They probably got a puppy free from a friend of their cousins girlfriend, who's female was not spayed and was kept chained outside, or allowed to run loose. They couldn't say no cause their kids fell in love with it, but they can barely afford to feed it let alone get it spayed/neutered. And so it starts all over. If our local governments provided for free spay/neuter clinics, sort of like gun amnesty, no questions asked, I believe people would get it done. Initially it would cost, but in the long run it could drastically reduce the number of animals in the shelters and the numbers being euthanized, thereby saving enough money to fund the clinics. All it would take would be for one lonely little reporter to start the ball rolling, and make a name for himself. Just think about it. The "Semenza" legislation. |

Great letter!! Wouldnt it be a great thing...free spay and neuter clinics!! For sure the pet popluation would go down...ROLL BALL ROLL!! Dawn |
When one thinks about how many puppies, one female large breed dog can produce , and then let that number grow exponentially, the figure is beyond comprehension. It would have to reduce the numbers drastically, and it should pay for itself in a very short time. It's a matter of addressing the problem, not the symptom. |
Bumping this up |
