- Please Help Us, To Help Them -

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us ‘universe,’

But he experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings,

As something separated from the rest,

A kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison,

By widening our circle of compassion,

To embrace all living creatures.”

Albert Einstein

Over four million dogs and cats

Are euthanized, each and every year

They don’t know love, and have no homes

All they do know is misery, hunger, and fear

And they are the offspring, of someone’s pet

Someone, who never bothers to neuter or spay

Someone, who could care less about their plight

Someone, who lets their own pets roam, everyday

Someone, who ignores the unwanted litter of kittens

Someone, who passes those starving pups on the road

Someone, who lives in every neighborhood in America

Educating Everyone in the U.S. is Spay Day USA’s goal

February 24^th, will be the 15^th Annual, Spay Day USA

And we’ve yet to make a dent in reducing homeless pets

Please help us, to help all of these unwanted dogs and cats

Promote Spay Day to anyone, who hasn’t spay/neutered yet

Spay/Neuter is the only workable solution to this huge problem

It is the only 100-percent effective method, of pet birth control

Every loving dog and cat born in America, deserves a good home

And being able to provide that, should be, one of America’s goals

Over 80 percent of the dogs and cats that we rescued

After Hurricane Katrina, were not neutered or spayed

And now, three and a half long years after this storm

Thousands of their offspring, are still homeless, today

Please Participate in This Year’s SPAY DAY USA,

Please Circulate The Linked Website Below – Today;

Numerous Veterinary Clinics and Animal Welfare Groups,

Are Offering Free or Minimal Cost Spay/Neutering For Spay Day.

If I could adopt a kitty, believe me, I would in a heartbeat! An all too important write that needs to be shouted from the rooftops! Too many pets are dying because people won't get their animals spayed or neutered! Tragic! Powerfully penned sadness; keep on speaking out for our furry and feathered friends!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

I agree, help my brothers and sisters, both dog and cat not to make a bigger population explosion than we already have...Sincerely, Rufuz [w00f]

A some relief is to write from Scandinavia, it is very rare to hear about cat and dogs (or others creatures dumped) I don't say it never happens, but the Scandinavian people learn the lesson many years ago, and now one can say that the 99% of the populations abide with the life rules. Although we have also a few weirdos that pluck wings from flies and burn cats for "fun" (they always are caught and you won't believe how much cost them of they parent that little of "fun")
With you my brother, all the way with you.
