While I'm working on a follow up of the Arlington animal seizure case, I'd like to provide you with a couple of "promos" because you all need to be MORE informed and MORE active in helping yourselves and all the animals you love or may love in the future; else you may not get to do so for much longer. Here goes...
First, I encourage you to go vote for "no limits" at this poll. http://www.polldadd y.com/p/1621399/
Join some groups, sign up for their newsletters, learn and start pitching in to help.
1) Responsible Pet Owner's Alliance (RPOA) http://www.responsiblepetowners.org/ And from them:
TX-RPOA E-News
From RPOA Texas Outreach and

"Animal welfare, not animal 'rights'
and, yes, there is a difference."

No one can say that the American Kennel Club doesn't "get it" anymore!
Check out these wonderful flyers picturing a future without dogs. You may
substitute any other pet species mentally because the "animal rights"
extremists want to eliminate all of them. Please support RPOA in our Texas
endeavors to stop this radical agenda. It is our membership who make all
things possible.

4) Post your favorite groups, organizations, and links in the comments or send them to me at PJBoo9@yahoo.com so I can set up a page of links. Let's share. (Just FYI... I generally delete emails after reading them unless the author asks me to retain their contact information. The blog comments are maintained by the freebie server I'm on so may well be stored forever even if I delete it. Of course, nothing sent into cyber space ever truly disappears even when deleted as I'm sure you all know.)
We all procrastinate but we've procrastinated too long in protecting ourselves and our pets so get started TODAY and, if you're already "in", find some more time and energy and get to work!
