How can anyone look at this and not be affected
to their very soul. I would have posted a few paragraphs but, site won't allow.

International Fund for Animal Welfare

http://www.ifaw.org/WOA/WOA7/US/index.html?msource=DR110521003

Puppy mills, seal hunts, killing animals because they were unfortunate to be born with beautiful fur or just for the sake of a trophy on a wall. Makes me sick and feeling unable to do a damn thing.

In the 60's there was a drive where I worked to 'Save the Seals'. We raised money, sold T shirts, passed out graphic pictures. What happened? Fifty years later - 50! and nothing has changed. :cry:

1. It is a wonder to me why you did those things.
Did you do them because others were doing them?

Someone must suffer the slings and arrows.

3. No - 50 years ago I was naive and

2. I do not have the heart to even look.
Homo sapiens is a murderous species, sadly.
Fortunately, we may make our own species extinct sooner rather than later.

4. Yes, we will.
This year alone the BP Oil spill and the nuke plant in Japan. Those are the first 2 that came to my mind. I'm sure there are others. Katrina of course but, that was Mother Nature or was it the levees that failed?
