Missing Pet Network.  Let's get pets back to their HOMES.

  • The MPN is a group of volunteers sponsored by the USDA Animal Care Office, who help people find missing pet animals. It accepts no money, makes no endorsements, and uses no advertising on their MPN web pages.
  •  If you have found a pet, you may list it with MPN.
  • If you have lost a pet, you may list it with MPN.
  • Please urge your state and local lawmakers to urge or mandate that their shelters and NPOs also list foundling pets on the MPN and contribute to MPN's efforts to GET PETS HOME.
  • How great would it be if EVERY missing pet across the country were in 1 centralized location or at least a single network?  One stop pet saving!
  • I consider returning pets to rightful owners to be the first and foremost step to No Kill efforts as well.

Every state needs a MoFed!

Just because I link them:

'Cause I saw it on Dolittler.com and it disappeared! 

There's animal welfare and responsible environmentalism and then there's the animal rights and environmental activists, the pernicious nonsense.  It SHOULD be about what's best for US and the animals and the environment we all share with each other and the animals.  It SHOULD be about balance and science and critically thought through solutions.

Over 1,000 libraries across the United States are Federal Depositories which means they house many books and documents intended for public access.  For example, South Texas College of Law (STCL) is a federal depository.  If you ask them, they say the library is for students and lawyers; however, they are required by law to permit access to the Federal Depository items and, once in the door, if one behaves as one should in a library, they will let you roam and research; ask nicely and sound like you're reasonably informed and you can even get a research librarian to help.  You can locate Federal Depositories at http://catalog.gpo.gov/fdlpdir/FDLPdir.jsp and more info at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/libraries.html

NOTE: Law books are always expensive but the ABA and state bar associations will take anybody's money and most of them have on-line stores now.

I Like Your Attitude

from Tortiball's Why we’re in this

  • I am vehemently opposed — at my core — to the violation of the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
  • I am vehemently opposed to the overrun of government – and quasi-government, or government-sponsored agencies – into the civil liberties of American citizens.
  • I am vehemently opposed to the wrongs that PEOPLE inflict on other PEOPLE.
  • And I am vehemently opposed to allowing duplicitous, and yes, hypocritical, organizations such as PSPCA to continue to dupe people out of their hard earned money thinking that they are “helping animals” when they are actually funding the continued mismanagement of a behemoth, out of control organization that has become mostly about stroking the egos of the people who run it.

How odd to live in an era when we need to spell this out but we do and nicely done at that!

I love honesty!
