Subject: Animal Planet 11/15/06 - Houston SPCA
Date: November 15, 2006 10:18 PM

On Animal Planet this morning, they showed the Houston, Texas SPCA execute two raids.  In theory, it was identical to what 20/20 showed in June of last year.  The only difference is that no one publicly challenged the actions the SPCA took against the two households.

The first raid was of an older couple - perhaps in their late 50's early 60's (I'm bad at guessing ages) - that had about 110 small crossbreed dogs.  Many were loose on the fenced-in property and many were in the house. The house was cluttered, but I don't remember there being a law regarding good housekeeping.

They handcuffed the wife and put her in a car. The husband ran in the house and got his shotgun.  He just stood outside, held the rifle against his side, pointed straight up.  He made no threats about using it. I'm not even sure if it was loaded.

The cops, all lined up along the fence, all drew their guns quite dramatically and took a threatening shooting stance. You know the one - legs spread, knees bent, both hands on the pistol held with arms outstretched in front of them at face level. Another cop ran to his car, pulled out what looked to me like a portable canon (heavy duty rifle), jumped up on another car's trunk, then roof, and took a stance pointing it down at the man.

I understand that there was the potential of a problem, so I am not minimizing what they did --- just that it was sooooooooo  dramatic and phony looking.

They called the people hoarders. The cops told him to give up the rifle and he said no, that if he did, he knows they're going to shoot him.  But he did give it up - through it over (rifle still pointed upwards) to the man.  They then grabbed him and slammed him down against the car's hood and handcuffed him.

The final result was that the SPCA took all the dogs - the dogs all had great weight on them BTW - and said they would put them up for adoption.  The man was charged with a weapons violation but they were not charged with animal cruelty.

Ummm - is this the America our forefathers wrote about in that thing called the Bill of Rights and Constitution?   Hmmm?

Then the second raid was at the home of an elderly woman.  She was sitting in her living room in a rocking chair - scared to death - and holding onto two or three small dogs on her lap for dear life.  Her house looked clean and uncluttered.  She had a lot of cats.  They all seemed to be in good shape.  They said they found one cat in a room with the door closed - that the woman probably didn't know it was in there and probably hadn't fed it because it was allegedly skinny and dying.  They put that one in a crate but it didn't look to me like it was anywhere near death at all.  Drama - drama.

You saw how they grabbed the cats and put them in crates.  One guy grabbed a cat near another guy's leg.  The cat grabbed the guy's leg and scratched/bit the hell out of him.  He sustained a baaaaad  gash.  That really had to hurt.

After all the cats were taken and loaded on the trailer, a woman from the SPCA approached the woman, bent down, and told her she could keep the dogs.

After the show was over, the cruelty investigator from the NYC ASPCA (blonde female - I forget her name - came on asking for donations. She's the one that participated illegally in a raid upstate NY a few years ago.  It was early in the morning and woke up the family by banging on their window with her gun drawn.  She made her and her husband come outside in their underwear (late November) and did a body search on them, feeling inside their underwear ... while the male cops watched.  The female victim, in her bra and panties, asked to go inside to put some clothes on.  They said no.

The eight year old daughter came outside to see what was going on.  This ASPCA person pointed her gun at the child and told her to get inside.

The only good things about airing these shows is that we and the general public get to view what goes on at a raid - and some day, we will be able to use it against them.  Voila!  Happy day!

This country is getting SOOO screwed up. I cannot believe that we are letting our agencies carry out little wars on citizens like this.
  No wonder the Republicans lost. They have very little to offer in the way of protecting our freedoms. They just let these little agencies and bureaucrats run roughshod over little people, taking their property under false pretenses. Then they have the nerve to say that they are bringing democracy and freedom to other countries. I don't think they even know what freedom and democracy are, anymore, or what people are going through.
  Out here in California they are giving out insane penalties for all sorts of things relating to code enforcement. They just make up the penalties. $600 a day or more is not uncommon. Well, we let them do it to the corporations, and now they want to do it to everyone. See how it works?
  The reason that they are after old people like this is that they know they have assets which can be attached, and they know that they will never live long enough to sue them in court. So, they bully old people. Chickenshit bastards! We should have NEVER let the government have any forfeiture rights in the so-called "drug wars". If you want to see something, go look at FEAR.org. In a few places where the cops have been successfully backed off of forfeiture, these kinds of raids have all but disappeared.
  These are fundraising adventures, to raise money to go directly to the agency.
  Some old guy like that fella in the story is going to use his shotgun one day. It's coming to that. These guys fought in wars to defeat tyranny like this. I'm sure they know tyranny when they see it.

When I first got sattelite (um, which was only two years ago
LOL...don't laugh, I still don't have a DVD player) I thought Animal
Planet was great, my daughter was 9 years old at the time and we
enjoyed watching Animal Precinct, or whatever it's called.

Then I started to see through it...they tell the people that they're
going to help them out, but they end up arresting them anyway.  I only
remember one episode that doesn't make me sick...someone called them
on a shop owner who had a Komondor and complained that the dog was in
poor condition and was completely matted.  Thankfully, the officers
knew what a Komondor was supposed to look like and they left the man
alone. 

I now have Animal Planet blocked, at first my daughter complained, but
she's a little older now so I explained to her all the reasons why we
can't support that channel.

  This is actually very typical of interactions with police, anymore. They arrest everyone and let the courts and lawyers sort it out.
And you mentioned that they are misleading people, using the soft approach to get their confidence, then they arrest later on, after gathering information and building their case. Also, this is very typical!
This is why the criminal lawyers will always caution you never to answer any questions. Usually, it doesn't prevent arrest, and it will probably only get you deeper into trouble. Police often misquote and misinterpret statements or twist your words, so it's better just to remain silent.
You can ask if you are under arrest, and if you are not, then you should remain on your property and inside your home and DO NOT let them in. You can also order them off your property, but of course you cannot force the issue if they don't. They can only get in and arrest with "probable cause". You can ask them what their probable cause is, and it should be specific in nature. Generally, they need a warrant, OK'd by a judge (They can call in for this), OR your consent.
Once you have let them in willingly, you have waived your Fourth Ammendment rights, and sometimes this is the only thing that will get you out of trouble later on.. Reason and explanation will not likely get you out of trouble, at all. But if the cops screw up on their process, and you are not so foolish and naive as to waive your Fourth and Fifth Ammendment rights, you might be OK, based on technicalities of the arrest.
Most of us think that we can let the cops in and just talk with them. In private life they may be more reasonable, but on the job, most of them want to make sufficient arrests to make themselves look good on paper.. productive and aggressive policing, you know. They will err on the side of screwing up your life, and a lot of them have no regrets at all.. In fact, this is "fun" to them.
They may also do things like haze you or try to say tormenting things to incite you to speak or even touch them.
How do I know all of this? Because I went through it. And let me tell you what the one cop said to me, "Because of you, probably all of your dogs are going to die". When he said this to me, he was standing RIGHT next to me, and I am very sure that he wanted me to touch him, so that he could charge me for assaulting an officer. This does not have to be a strike or blow. Only a simple touch is all that it takes. I am not a touchy person with strangers, so I did not fall for it. I just looked at him like he was crazy. I really had NO idea what kind of danger my dogs were in, and actually he was right.. A lot of them DID die after they were impounded. Some from gross neglect on their part, and some because they were running up such a huge bill that I realized I had to cut some of my losses and give up the old and dogs which were not critical to my future breeding program. A lot of dogs died, but many were saved, and got out of there.. I worked to make that happen. God knows,
my lawyers didn't do much! This pissed the cops off to no end, by the way. They like to think that they run the city, for the most part, and I really put a few kinks in their tail before it was all over. The sweetest little victory was getting most of the poor dogs out.
Well, maybe some day I'll write about what happened. For now, just take my word for it. You cannot trust the police. They can lie and deceive and there is absolutely nothing you can believe or trust them in. This is all according to US Supreme Court decisions. The only thing you can safely and reasonably do is to keep your gates and doors locked and shut, do NOT let them in, make no statements to them, and have a good reference on a criminal lawyer, whose number you should know by heart, to give to a trusted friend, who should also have keys to your property. You will get one free call from jail and you need to make it count.
Oh.. About someone having keys to your property... When the police and / or animal control have rummaged all through your things and dragged all your dogs, cats and whatever off to the impound, they will generally leave your property standing wide open.. gates, doors and all, an invitation to looters, vandals and curiousity seekers. We were lucky to have a good friend to come and close our place up. What a Godsend! I still cannot believe that police do things like this, but they do, and they seem to think it's cute and clever.
Also cute and clever, they strip-searched us both.. For what, I cannot imagine. Neither of us had a criminal history at all. Again, I feel that it was done, sort of Abu-Graib style, to dehumanize and demoralize us. It was suggested to me that I take a shower in the jail, and I did, because I was in a daze and wanted to cooperate. I strongly suspect that I was recorded, naked, for later amusement and cop parties or something stupid which would interest cops off-duty.
The demoralization did work very well. I was suicidal for quite a while, but probably more because I was so distressed at the condition of my dogs, once I saw them. That was the real shocker. They were sick, miserable, wounded from fights, overcrowded, frightened, lying in runny excrement, and had puss running from their noses.
I will NEVER trust police and law enforcement again. They are a strange combination of sophomoric idiots, predators and NAZIs at heart. Some of them are better than others and have some vestige of a conscience, but seldom will they intervene. They just want to make it to retirement, so they're not going to rock the boat by doing the right thing.
The greatest irony of all in my case is that I had donated dogs to the police and US Customs in the past and was looking forward to doing more donations after I retired, oinly a few years off. Needless to say, nothing like that would happen now, even if I was still able. It is a moot question, since this screwed up my finances and retirement so badly that I could no longer afford to do it. But let's put it this way.. I get no joy from the idea of having one of my dogs put on a helpless person. And, this has been done with police K9s in the past.

I just wanted to say one thing more.. That the experience of an arrest and prosecution, even the more invasive things like strip-searching and body cavity searches would not bother the street thug or a real criminal, at all. They are made out of a different sort of stuff than the average person, which is in good part why they are what they are and why they do what they do. There have been a lot of studies on sociopathy and criminal behavior to back this up.
  But to the person of average senstivity, or great sensitivity, this process can be so brutalizing, so humiliating and degrading, that it can trigger profound depression and even suicidal tendencies. Don't let anyone tell you that the animal rights activists have not killed anyone, yet. They have, and through legal process! Because there are two aspects of activism.. One is underground and subversive in nature, using clandestine movements and activities such as sabotage and arson. The other is legal activism. And this is by far the most serious kind, but it is completely unaddressed by our society.
  There are already several instances of attempted and successful suicides of people who were arrested for animal cruelty, usually because they were operating breeding kennels or rescues, with many animals. The victims are usually older people. Interestingly, these people may be at a much higher risk due to loss of physical and mental faculties as part of the aging process, and because they come from a time when things like this just were not seen in free societies. Often, they have a deep trust of authority and a sense of decency and pride, which, when betrayed and violated, give way to a sense of shock, shame, betrayal and grief which compells them to take their own lives.
  Many years ago there was an old couple who liked to sit together in the park and feed pigeons. There was a city ordinance against feeding birds in public and some idiot city employee with an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder arrested them. When these old people went home, they talked it over and then very quietly pulled all their curtains and locked the doors and went to bed with the gas turned on.
  It was the same with a famous old couple in Wales, whose "crime" was a lifetime of raising, showing and judging Cairn Terriers. After they were arrested and their dogs confiscated, the two of them held hands on a precipice overlooking a wild river and jumped.
  I wonder where we are going as a society.
  There are things more important than technical observations of the law and the keeping of an orderly society under efficient authority.

From: Beth M (theeternis)

Here is my lovely little anti-twilight short story.
Hope it's funny. If it's not, at least it was fun to write!
 
*In a forest, early in the morning*

Sigma: (breathing heavily) Bez, this is ridiculous. Where the heck are we going-and how long till we get there?
Bez: Quit whining. I told you this would be a nice long hike, and you agreed to come. You could have stayed back at the ship.
Sigma: (incredulously) What? Everyone else left! Your ship is creepy. *the pair climb up a particularly steep and rocky slope*
Bez: It is not. (Points up ahead) We'll meet up with Thande and Matrix at the clearing beyond this rise.
Sigma: (Sighs in relief)
Bez: Oh come on. We've only been going for, what-
Sigma: Six hours! Six freaking hours!
*They argue as they enter a clearing in which Matrix and Thande stand. There are three other adults and one child in the clearing as well.*
Bez: Matrix, will you please tell Sigma that six hours is not a long hike? (notices the strangers) Who are they?
Matrix: (mischievous smile) The little one is a mutant.
Child: I am not a mutant! (turns to adult female) Mommy, tell the metal man I am not a mutant! (pouts) I broke my tooth on him!
Thande: That is usually what happens when you try to eat a robot.
Bez: (disbelieving expression) Thande, did you just make a joke?
Adult female: Excuse me! Your forgetting the important people.
Bez, Sigma, Matrix and Thande: (turn to face female)
Female: (flustered) Well, don't you know who we are?
Bez: Should we?
Female: (loud, rather undignified and childish noise) Oh, Edward they don't know who we are.
Bez: Ohhh...Now I get it. (disappointed expression) Shouldn't you be dead?
Edward: Oh no, no, no. We are immortal, but i wouldn't expect someone like you to know that.
Bez: What? (moves to pull out gun.)
Mutant child: (leaps forward) Wee! Fresh blood! (sinks fang into Bez's arm)
Jacob: No, no! Bad Nessie! drop her!
Bez: Get this freaking monster off me before I blow her brains out! (begins to hit her on the head with gun)
Thande: (takes hold of "Nessie" and begins to pull)
Bez: Ouch! Hey, watch it! (aims gun at renesmee [or however you spell her name!])
Jacob: (realizes Bez will really shoot his precious vampire buddy. Grabs hold of her.) Nessie drop it! That's not nice!
(Thande: (manages to dislodge child and gently tosses her to her parents.
Parents: (are staring into each others eyes and so do not catch their offspring)
Bez: Ewww! (scrubbing at wound) If I become a vampire, I'm going to kill someone.
*simultaneously*
Edward and Bella: Oh your so beautiful/handsome, my most perfect wondrous wonderful vampire person. (begin to kiss)
Matrix: Am I the only one who thinks this is so wrong?
Jacob: (scuttles over to renesmee) Oh are you okay?
Mutant: (crying) The mean lizard thing threw me! I'm gonna bite him! (charges at Thande)
Jacob: (restrains her) No! That guy wouldn't taste good.
*Separately*
Bez: Thats it. I have a bone to pick with you guys. (edward and bella continue to kiss)
Ahem. Excuse me. Hey! (Throws pine cone at them. It hits edward in the forehead.) Oh whatever. (turns to Jacob and renesmee.) You'll do.
Jacob: (still restraining child.) Huh?
Renesmee: I'm gonna bite him! (gnashes teeth)
Bez: (Sighs) First of all, you need to clarify some things. (gestures at edward and bella) why? I mean of all the possible things the universe could have spun out, why this?
Jacob: To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. If you were to ask for my opinion-
Bez: Which I'm not.
Jacob: -then I would say it's destiny.
Bez: You're an idiot. (looks back over at edward and bella) (disgusted expression) Matrix, separate them.
Matrix: (relieved expression) With pleasure. (Walks over to them. sweeps his arm out and gives them a good whack. edward flies into a tree several meeters away, fully imbedding himself into the bark. Bella flies into a nearby pond)
Sigma: You didn't need to do it so harshly.
Matrix: What, are you on their side now?
Sigma: No! I just...oh nevermind.
Bez: There. Now, where were we? Oh right, your little destiny spiel. It's crap. And you know what's even more crappy? (gestures at bella and edward, now in equally bad positions)  Them. One, vampires do not marry humans. THEY EAT THEM. And they like it. And for that matter, so do you. Don't give me any crap about vegetarian this or vegetarian that. Blood is blood no matter how you slice it.
Edward: (has dislodged himself from the tree) How dare you attack my perfectness! How dare you! (pouts with hands on hips)
Thande: You are not perfect.
Edward: What?! And just who are you, Mr. Scalyface?
Thande: You are not perfect.
Edward: Stop saying that! Stop it! (stomps) If you don't appologize right now, I'll be very cross!
renesmee: (has succeeded in escaping from jacob. she charges at Thande once more.) Aaaaiiiiiieeeee! Alien blood! (Attempts to stick fang into Thande's calf)
Thande: (kicks out sharply. child flies across clearing and into Bella, who has finally succeeded in climbing from the pond. They both fly backward into the pond.)
Thande: (disgusted expression) Filthy thing.
Edward: Ooooh, now you've done it! Now I'm going to get you! (starts forward)
Bez: Now, now, lets not damage the fragile vampire. (Steps between Thande and edward)
Edward: Get out of my way! (swats Bez out of his way.)
Thande: (glaring) Idiot. (Grabs edward by the throat and throws him into the forest)
Sigma and Matrix: Yes!
Thande: (walks over to Bez and helps her up.)
Bez: (yelling in edwards general direction) Stupid freak! (turns to jacob) What, you were just going to watch that? I get chucked into a pile of roots by an egotistical vampire and you just sit there? (starts towards him angrily) I ought to-(grimaces and clutches at side. leans against Thande as she catches her breath)
Sigma: (concerned) Bez, are you all right?
Bez: (sarcastically) Ya, Sigma, I'm fine. I think I just broke a few ribs, that's all. I also think some of those ribs are poking into things that they shouldnt, but I'm just fine.
Sigma: It was just a question, you don't need to get all rude about it.
Matrix: (scanning Bez) She's right. (shakes head) I'd fix her up right here, but i don't have the medical supplies. (glares at jacob) I expect you to take full responsibility for this.
Jacob: (Dumbly) Wha-at? What did I do?
Thande: Nothing. And that is why you must pay. (Notices that Bez has begun to bleed profusely) We need to get her back to the ship.
Matrix: (nods) agreed. Do your best to stop the bleeding.
Bez: (attempts to remain standing. collapses and passes out after a few minutes)
Thande: (catches her as she falls)
Sigma and Matrix: (pull out guns)
Jacob: But...It's not my fault!
Sigma: (angrily) Right. You just didn't do anything about it! ( she marches up to him) You're just as responsible. Jerk! (punches him in the nose) That one's for Bez! (punches him in the stomach) That one's for me! (Begins to walk away. Turns back around and kicks him sharply in the shin) And that ones for being a creep! (Marches back over to Matrix. The group of four leave the clearing, moving at a rapid pace.)
Jacob: (alternates clutching at shin, nose, or stomach.)
Edward: (stumbles back into clearing)
Bella and Renesmee: (emerge from pond, very wet and slimy)
*simultaneously*
Edward and Bella: Oh my perfect darling those people were so horrid werent they? oh yes, but they went away, now we can be together! *start kissing*
Renesmee: But I wanna bite that guy! I'm gonna get him! (starts gnashing teeth)
Jacob: (Throws up into a nearby bush)
 
THE END
(In case your wondering, Bez does get surgery in time. From then on, the group had a healthy dislike for vampires, werewolves, and anything related to them.)   

Here's what might happen if some characters I rp, famous and my own created alike, end up stranded somewhere with the Cullens.

It's also found at http://Pippi.pbworks.com/Stranded+With+Vampires and is written in script format, I usually write narrative style for longer, more involved stories.

Stranded With Vampires

Car: stalls

Ameh, driving: "Oh, no, not now, please, not now."

Melanie: "What's wrong?"

Ameh: "Not sure, the gas tank's full."

Melanie: shakes her head.

Ameh: gets out her cell and calls AMA or some other service for dealing with stranded vehicles.

When the call is finished, the occupants of the vehicle decide to get out for some fresh air and time out of their cramped conditions.

When they do, there is another vehicle, specifically a Volvo coming up just behind them. It grinds to a hault as well, and a man gets out.

Ameh and Melanie don't notice this at first, but the two passengers in the back get out, and notice something strange about the Volvo driver.

Pippi: stares for a moment as the man's face and other exposed skin starts sparkling. She quickly turns away to avoid not only the glaring brightness, but to hide the fact she noticed at all.

Pippi: covers her mouth and sneezes.

Ameh: *Looks back* "Bless you - " then notices Edward Cullen's glitter, "What is that doing in the middle of nowhere?" Then she sees the thing move. "Holy...crap...It's alive!"

Bella stumbles out next.

Out the back of the Volvo come a dark-complexioned man, that would be Jacob, and a cute little girl who scrambles off his lap, that would be Renesmee.

Renesmee: "Can I have some blood now?"

Jacob: "Nessie, shhhh!"

Bella: "We're out, but maybe we can get some up ahead."

Capri: is the last to get out of Ameh's vehicle.

Jacob: eyes first Melanie, whose hair style and color are a lot like Bella's, then Capri with her dark complexion.

Renesmee: "Don't look at them, look at me and give me some blood."

Jacob: "SOrry, honey, your mommy and daddy would be better at helping you get that."

Pippi: hears, but can't believe what they're saying.

Ameh: gets off the phone. "It could be more than an hour."

Bella and Edward: meet in front of the Volvo, and forget about it and everything around them.

Edward: "Oh Bella, *Sniff nibble* you smell so good. *Smooch sniff smooch*"

Bella: "And I love you, you are so perfectly beautiful!" *Smooch.*

Edward and Bella: *Smackersmooch-fest.*

Capri: *Mutters in disgust.* "Break it up already. Gah, some people."

Melanie: *whispering* "Ameh, that guy's shining."

Ameh: nods back.

Renesmee: *Decides she likes the look of Ameh, who is blonde and very short for an adult, so looks like a kid from a distance. She runs over to the fairy, shouting.* "Hi! I'm Renesmee!"

Ameh: *Surprised smile* "Well, hi there!"

Pippi: lookes concerned at Ameh, and shakes her head.

Renesmee: "Wanna play?"

Ameh: "Uh, I'm sorry, I've forgotten how."

Renesmee: "Leach is easy. You just pretend you're wading in a lake, and I'm the leach, so I come up to you and drink your blood!"

"Jacob: "Nessie!"

Bella and Edward in unison: "You are so beautiful, you are so perfect." *Smooch-fest continued.*

Melanie: "Unbelievable!"

Pippi, concerned: *Approaching Renesmee.* "We don't play games like that."

Renesmee: "I do!" *Giggles.*

Before anyone can react, the vampire child takes hold of Ameh and sinks her fangs into her.

Ameh: "AAAAAAAA! Help! Get her off me!" *Thrashes wildly but can't remove Renesmee, who is stronger, being a vampire after all.*

Renesmee: drinks.

Pippi: "Let her go!" *Takes hold of Renesmee and pries her off Ameh.*

Melanie and Capri, realizing Pippi has things well in hand, look on, horrified at what they just saw.

Renesmee, to Pippi: "Hey!"

Pippi: tosses Renesmee aside as gently as she can, Nessie is a child after all.

Ameh, shaken and still bleeding: "OMG..."

Pippi: holds Ameh protectively, trying to calm her, but is alarmed at how much her friend is bleeding. Manages to get out her cell phone to call emergency, but realizes she won't need to a second later.

Capri: gets out her cell and calls 911 while frantically opening the trunk to get out the first aid stuff. When the call is finished, she approaches Pippi and Ameh. Starts administering to the injury the best she can manage, it being an artery bleed.

Renesmee: "Mmm," *Sniffs and dares to wander too close to Capri.*

Jacob: "Nessie, darling, no!"

Capri, looking around at Jacob's alarmed call, sees Renesmee behind her, and unlike Pippi, she doesn't handle it gently. She elbows Renesmee violently, causing her to lose her balance and fall backward.

Renesmee: "Waah!"

Capri, horrified and disgusted: *Glares daggers over her shoulder and shouts at Renesmee.* "Try that again and I'll wring your disgusting little cannibalistic neck!"

Bella and Edward, still oblivious: *kisskisskisskisskiss smooooooooooooooooch! "I love you!" "You are so perfect!" "Ooooh, you are so hot!"

Jacob: *Comes up to Capri and picks up Renesmee.* "Nessie, sweetie, you know better than to play games with strangers, I'm your friend, remember?"

Renesmee: "Yes, and you're my very bestest friend in the world! I just need some blood, I'm starving!"

Jacob: "there are still some bananas and potato chips in the car, if you were hungry, you could've - "

Renesmee, angrily: "I don't want that stuff!"

Capri, glaring back at Renesmee: "And I don't want YOU sinking your teeth into me or any of my friends, or anybody within sight, understand!?"

Jacob, to Capri: "I'm sorry about this, mam - what shall I call you?"

Capri, shortly: "Ms. Monroe."

Jacob: "My name's Jacob Black."

Capri: *Ignores Jacob's attempt at friendly chat and looks to Pippi.* "I've done all I can, let's get Ameh into the car."

Pippi moves to help Capri. Together they wrap Ameh in a blanket, and Pippi gently puts her in the car. They decide to stay with Ameh in the car until the ambulance arrives.

Edward and Bella: tongue-kiss.

Melanie: *Looks on, then realizes something.* "You're Jacob Black, is that Edward Cullen and Bella Swan?" *indicating Bella and Edward who are shamelessly doing everything just short of THE act in front of their car. "They're gonna swallow each other at this rate."

"Jacob, chuckling: "Yes, and you are?"

Melanie: "My name is Melanie. If Renesmee wanted some blood, she could've taken some from me instead, Ameh's been through so much."

Capri, snapping at Melanie from the car: "NO! Don't even think of it, Melanie!""

Ameh: "Ewww, no!"

Pippi: "Melanie, come here and stay in the car with Ameh."

Capri, dabbing at her forehead with a tissue: "Where can that blasted ambulance be?"

Melanie: gets into the car.

Ambulance: arrives.

A few more minutes and Ameh is loaded on a stretcher and taken to the nearest hospital.

Capri, to Melanie: "I don't care how cute or hungry that little kid is, don't EVER offer her your blood again, do you understand?"

Melanie, nodding: "I just feel bad about what she did to Ameh, and that I didn't stop it...Again." *bursts into silent tears*

Capri: *Puts arm around Melanie* "That wasn't your fault, it happened so fast that no one, least of all Ameh had any idea this was going to happen."

Pippi: "That's true, Melanie, I thought something was very off about the little girl, but didn't know she would move so quickly and literally sink her teeth into someone."

Melanie: "She's not just any little girl,, now that I know she's being taken care of by that man, actually werewolf Jacob Black, she's a baby vampire, and her father and mother are Edward and Bella Cullen."

Capri: *groans in displeasure, and tries not to look all that rattled.

Pippi, nodding, eyes narrowing: "Like in 'Twilight'?"

Melanie: "Yes."

Jacob: *Taps on the window* "Ms. Monroe?"

Capri, scowling back: "What's keeping you lot here?"

Jacob: "We ran out of gas."

Capri, sighing and gritting her teeth: "Great, just great!"

Jacob: "You wouldn't happen to know where the nearest zoo or pet shop is, would you?"

Melanie: "Ewww!"

Capri, sarcastically: "Oh, sure, I know this place like the back of my hand, and how to fix this car, and how to gas up your car even though we're out in the middle of nowhere... *Exploding* Of course I don't know where the nearest zoo is!"

Pippi, to Jacob: "If you walk in any direction long enough, you might find something." *Puts a hand on Capri's shoulder to help her calm down.

Melanie: laughs at Pippi's wry sense of humor.

Capri: still doesn't crack a smile.

Jacob: picks up Renesmee again and holds her tenderly.

Renesmee: clings to Jacob.

Jacob, giving Renesmee a very affectionate look: "It's okay baby girl, I'll give you some blood." *indicates where he wants her to feed*

Renesmee: bites into Jacob and starts drinking.

Melanie: "Eww, gross!"

Capri: *Beginning to freak, shaking tightly clenched fist at Jacob and Renesmee, shouting. "Go away! Get outa my sight!"

Pippi: *Touches the panicking fairy's shoulder* "Take it easy, Capri...I'll be right back." *Opens the car door*

Capri: "Be careful!"

Pippi: "I will, don't worry." *Gets out of the car and closes the door, then walks around to the side of the car Jacob and Renesmee are on and approaches them.*. "Ms. Monroe's too upset to speak with you, and I can't exactly blame her. But I'm upset with you people for another reason - this imprinting business is indecent."

Capri: "Stay in the car, Mel." *Gets out and follows Pippi.*

Jacob: "I know some people are upset about it, but it's the way things are done in our culture of vampires and werewolves."

Pippi: "Of course that's how it's done in your - society, as is blood-drinking, which is repulsive in another way, but she's just a child. *indicating Renesmee*

Jacob: "I can't help it, she's so beautiful."

"Pippi: "And she's an extention of her mother, who you couldn't have."

Jacob: "She has solved all our problems, miss, - I'm sorry, I didn't get your name?"

Pippi: says her name.

Jacob: "Because of her, Edward and I are friends now, and she and I - "

Capri: looks on the verge of getting sick.

Pippi: "Yes, I get it, Mr. Black, I just don't agree with it. and please, don't give me some speech about how non-vampires and non-werewolves need to be more tolerant and accepting. You might as well be telling all mice to allow any and all cats to get near them."

Renesmee: *Stops drinking to give Pippi a bemused look.* "That's funny, cats eat mice!"

Pippi: "My point exactly."

Jacob: "But some of us werewolves and vampires get along even if we're supposed to be enemies."

Pippi: "Of course you do, the reason werewolves and vampires are historically enemies in the first place is likely because of competition over food, that would be us, human prey, the thing you both have in common."

Jacob: "Damn, you're smart, and brave."

Renesmee: "Strong too. I don't know how you managed to stop me from drinking your friend's blood, I'm stronger than most people who aren't vampires and I'm just a kid, so when I get older, I'll be even stronger!"

Capri: scowling and gritting teeth.

Jacob, to Renesmee: "Yeah, she probably couldn't stand up to Edward or Bella though. "Hey Edward! Come over here, I found a human you might want to take on!"

Pippi: *shaking her head.* "Nothing quite like dodging the issue..."

Edward: *Smooch* "Oh I say, really?"  disengages from Bella for a moment and walks over to Jacob and Pippi, looks at Pippi, "Do I dazzle you?"

Pippi: *Covers face and sneezes.* "A little too much."

Capri: glares at Edward and steps forward, taking a defensive posture.

Edward: "So, what, may I ask, shall I call you?"

Pippi: says her name again..

Capri: "Don't call me at all."

Edward: "Ah yes, Pippi - I think I may have heard about you."

Jacob: "I wonder which one of you could beat the other at arm-wrestling?"

Edward, guffawing: "Me, easily, she might be strong for a human, but I am a vampire after all!"

Capri, to Edward: "If you do anything to hurt her, I'll - "

Pippi: *Turns toward her sufficiently worried friend.* "It's all right, I'll be fine as long as he sticks to wrestling." *Then looks back at Edward.* "Well, what are you waiting for, have at it."

Edward: grabs Pippi's wrist and tries to bend her arm back in a wrestle.

Pippi: *Arm-wrestles back, winning the contest easily, then pitches Ed Cullen sending him flying so he lands on the roof of his Volvo.* "You were saying, Mr. Cullen?"

Edward: "What the!? Aaaaagh!"

Jacob: "Holy shart!"

Capri: bursts out laughing.*

Bella: "Edward!" *Runs over to Pippi.* "How dare you man-handle my most coolest, perfect husband!"

Capri, warning Bella away with a hand: "That's close enough!"

Pippi: "Your 'most coolest perfect husband,' does that mean you have more than one now?"

Bella: "That isn't funny!"

Pippi: "What's really not funny, Ms. Cullen, is the child grooming, blood-drinking and male-domination this vamp and werewolf society practices, and that you're okay with it."

Capri: nods emphatically.

Bella: "I uh, hadn't thought of that. But it's no reason to hurt my Edward!"

Edward: climbs off the roof of his car, looking a bit miffed.

Pippi: "It's hardly my fault if Jacob and Edward's idea turned out to bruise your husband's ego a little."

Bella: "Why you - you - you - " *Lunges toward Pippi.*

Capri: hits Bella with a magic blast that knocks her flat.

Bella: "Aaaaaaa!"

Capri, glowering at Bella and Edward: "You'll get a lot worse if you come anywhere near me or my friends again!"

Bella, getting up: "Edward won't drink your blood, he's a vegetarian vampire!"

Capri: "Bullcrap! There's no such thing. Anyway, what about the rest of you? That monster of yours already tried to suck one of my friends dry!"

Renesmee: *Pointing at Capri and looking at Bella* And she shoved me and made me fall!"

Bella, incensed, glaring at Capri: "How could you do that to my daughter!?"

Capri, rolling her eyes: "Nevermind, you're too young to understand..."

Bella: "She's an innocent child!"

Capri: *glaring, raising her voice to match Bella's intense outrage.* "Innocent nothing - she could've killed one of my friends!"

"Edward: "There is such thing as a vegetarian vampire. I only drink animal blood, so I'm a vegetarian, so more perfect than other vampires."

Pippi: "Since when is animal blood considered vegetation?"

Edward and Bella: *Looking blankly back at Pippi.* "Uh...Um...Duh...Uh, uh, well, uh," *Staring back and forth at each other, still stumped, then at Pippi again.*

Pippi: "Calling yourself a non-cannibalistic vampire would be more accurate."

Edward: "Okay, you win, it's just that it sounds really cool to call myself a vegetarian vampire."

Capri: "No, it just sounds totally idiotic, and I meant what I said, keep your distance!" *blasts Edward this time, then Bella again, and then Jacob*

Edward: *Screams and becoming frightened at Capri's display of magic power.* "I don't know what we're dealing with, but let's get out of here!"

The cullens and Jacob: scramble into the Volvo, but then realize they are nearly out of gas.

Tow service: Shows up, and Ameh's car is towed away to the nearest town to be fixed, and the girls are driven to town as well, leaving Edward, Bella, Renesmee and Jacob behind.

Beware of anyone who wears their "compassion"/"caring"/"kindness" on their sleeve, chances are they are really anything but...

"I'm so compassionate
That I will scream to anyone I can about how I know in my purist heart of hearts that you must be an uncaring animal abuser or that you don't love animals every time you disagree with me and refuse to join me in any part of the animal rights cause from promoting spay/neuter to shutting down breeders, from banning animals as pets to promoting the change of "ownership" to "guardianship" and doing away with pet sales in favor of "furkid adoptions"

"I'm so compassionate
That I'll call you an unfit, irresponsible, neglectful or even abusive pet owner or breeder when you do things differently from me where your animals are concerned.

"I'm so compassionate
That I'd much rather believe every made-up and staged animal abuse tale than do anything to help those who have been falsely accused of animal abuse and victimized far more by their accusers than any animal could have been in their care."

"I'm so compassionate
That I take in all sorts of strange and stray animals and put previous pets at risk of catching disease, but if I think you are breeding too many of your own healthy pets, I'll call you a mill."

"I'm so compassionate
That I'd rather see a world without pets than a world of happier fellow human beings and animals, because I know that animals are always suffering in the company of human beings!"

"I'm so compassionate
That I'd rather see the human race wiped out than another animal breeding in the care of a human being."

"I'm so compassionate and I care oh so very much
That I'll support or commit acts of stealing your animals, or acquire them from you legally and then lie, claming them as my own or as "rescues" or "liberated" and I'll slander you into the ground as an animal abuser so everybody will worship me and my 'compassion' and hate you forever as an animal abuser!"

"I'm so compassionate and caring
that I'll gladly put my own life and the lives of every other person on the road or in the car with me in danger by swerving and hitting a tree or another person just to avoid hitting a stray cat or squirrel on the road."

"I'm so kind-hearted
That if I think you are not doing right by the animals, I will get my animal activist friends to bombard you with hate-mail and/or try to post the most obnoxious or heinous stuff around the net in your name. I will make a nuissance of myself online by sending animal welfare chain letters that demonize animal breeders and owners. If you block mmy attempts, I will sign your email address up without your permission and under insulting nicknames to animal extremist news letters, dating, porn and other sites I may like but you obviously think are sick and lame."

"I'm so compassionate
That I sit dry-eyed through an account of a missing child, the death of a parent, or hearing about traumas that people suffer such as child abuse, rape, murder, but my eyes well up and brim over and I start heaving great sobs of sorrow when I think of those poor, poor bees being raped and forced to breed by the beekeepers to make honey, and the poor dogs and cats who are pimped out by breeders because PEta told me so!"

"I'm so compassionate
That every time there's some kind of natural disaster, I cry and scream for everyone to help the animals because I really couldn't care less about the human beings who are killed or had their lives devastated. and I blame humans for everything that has ever gone wrong with the environment and climate anyway."

"I'm so compassionate
That my pleas and efforts to help humans reunite with their pets after a disaster is not out of concern for the people, but only for the animals who I feel incredibly sorry for.

"I'm so compassionate
That I look at a human tragedy and scheme up the most ludicrous ways to exploit them, all so I can tell you how to live your life. I really don't care that people were maimed or suffered terrifying, prolonged, agonizing deaths, I see the shooting of a cow or bear, or the squashing of a cockroach to be far worse."

"I'm so compassionate
That I see victims and survivors of terrible events as worth less than chickens!"

"I'm so compassionate
That I'll force a vegan diet on my cat.

"I'm so compassionate
that I'll do my best to traumatize your kids into a vegan diet and alienate them from you by telling them you're a murderer because you own a fur coat or anything made of leather."

"I'm so compassionate
That I'd like to force you to eat a diet of things you hate even though you might rather starve and I don't care if veggies give you bad gas, bloating, and allergic reactions."

"I'm so compassionate
That I'll call you a child abuser for feeding eggs, dairy, and especially meat to your children."

"I'm so compassionate
That I'll threaten to poison you and your kids or may actually go through with it because if you eat animals you deserve to get sick and die a horrible agonizing death."

"I'm so compassionate
That I'd like to shoot the kids who shoot ducks."

"I'm so compassionate
That whenever I hear about a bear, cougar, or tiger attacking, killing, and partially eating a person, all my tears are for the animal who must've been starving or encroached upon and I feel no sorrow for the hapless human or their family.

"I'm so compassionate
That I'd sooner save extinct wild dangerous tigers than humans who are overpopulating the world like a cancer. I'd rather save a man-eating tiger and put people including children at risk of suffering a grisly painful death. After all, the loss of one child is nothing and the world absolutely needs tigers living in their proper habitats.

"I'm so concerned, caring and loving
That I'd rather animals go extinct in the wild than live in the care of humans other than myself."

"I'm so compassionate
that I think it's okay to kill lab workers, slaughter house workers, and doctors that perform abortions."

"I'm so compassionate
That I rejoice in the suffering and/or death of anybody I consider an animal abuser, from lab workers to hunters to exotic schefs."

"I'm so compassionate
That I get a huge belly laugh whenever an animal kills a person I hate and judge as an animal abuser, even if I never met them."

"I'm so compassionate
That I admire and feel for an individual who I consider to be noble and caring for refusing to eat meat, but I gladly overlook the fact this person killed and maimed a countless number of people by an exploding bomb.

"I'm so compassionate
That as a member of law enforcement, I'll tread lightly around killers and rapists and let them off with a slap on the wrist, but I'll fake social visits in order to get into a home and persecute, abuse, torture and bully to the fullest extent of the law and then some - any pet owner who owns the wrong thing or is disabled or too poor to spend scads on their animals! And I'll be proud of myself for tasing and half-killing some poor disabled woman for owning some animal I don't want her to, and not to my ridiculously high standards!"

"I'm so compassionate
That I'll rob the grave of a family member and steal their remains until the breeder of guinea pigs in that family stops breeding rodents for lab experiments!"

"I'm so compassionate
That I think cutting down a tree is more grievous than selling a child to a brothel."

"I'm so compassionate
That I think you deserve to get raped if you ever owned or wore fur."

"I'm so compassionate
That I wish some disease or disaster would wipe out all of the human race except for myself, of course, and then I get what's left!"

"I'm so compassionate
That I'm telling you I am and you must believe me."

"If you haven't given voluntary human extinction much thought before, the idea of a world with no people in it may seem strange. But, if you give it a chance, I think you might agree that the extinction of Homo sapiens would mean survival for millions, if not billions, of Earth-dwelling species ... Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental." --"Les U. Knight" (pseudonum), "Voluntary Human Extinction," Wild Earth, Vol. 1, No. 2, (Summer 1991), p. 72.

Note: Coronado pled guilty to the charges stemming from the 1992 MSU arson case but even so, PeTA donated $45,200 to the Coronado Support Committee in 1995. During the previous year, while Coronado was still on the loose and living underground, PeTA granted a loan (not yet repaid) to Coronado's father for $25,000.

"When you're a 20-something grassroots activist, and you're deciding how to spend your time and money to make a difference, it makes a lot of sense to cause a million in damage with just $100 of investment. That's a better return than any other form of activism I've been involved in." Rodney Coronado, LA Weekly, August 29, 2003.

"Setting fire to the feed truck falls within the work they the ALF do. It was most likely done in an effort to cause the most damage possible to the farm without hurting anyone or any animals. What these farmers do to chickens is terrorism -- what we do is not." David Barbarash, Associated Press story filed after the arson of a poultry truck in Indiana caused $100,000 in damage, July 3, 2000

"I will be the last person to condemn ALF the Animal Liberation Front." Ingrid Newkirk, PeTA's president and founder, The New York Daily News, December 7, 1997

"In a war you have to take up arms and people will get killed, and I can support that kind of action by petrol bombing and bombs under cars, and probably at a later stage, the shooting of vivisectors on their doorsteps. It's a war, and there's no other way you can stop vivisectors." -Tim Dailey, British Animal Liberation Front Leader

"In England we do have some problems with legislation that prevents us from buying certain products, but over here you don't have the same excuse. You've heard Black Panther leader Mr. Bobby Seale: you're allowed to bear arms. Why are you here now listening to me? You can go out and get animal liberation! Robin Webb, British Animal Rights Terrorist, speaking at a Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) rally, Edison, New Jersey, November 30, 2002

"We're a new breed of activism. We're not your parents' Humane Society. We're not Friends of Animals. We're not EarthSave. We're not Greenpeace. We come with a new philosophy. We hold the radical line. We will not compromise! We will not apologize, and we will not relent! ... Vivisection is not an abstract concept. It's a deed, done by individuals, who have weaknesses, who have breaking points, and who have home addresses!"

"The $10,000 microscope was destroyed in about 10 seconds with a steel wrecking bar we purchased ... for less than $5. We consider that a pretty good return on our investment.? ALF memo about destruction of lab at U. of Oregon Oct. 1986

If a car being blown up in a driveway or animals being liberated from a lab scares them, then I would say that fear pales by comparison to the fear that the animals have every day. The kind of true violence that these animals endure at the hands of people at Huntingdon leaves me with little sympathy. Kevin Kjonaas, National Director and spokesperson, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA, (SHAC USA); spokesperson, Animal Defense League; New York organizer, Viva! USA; as quoted in A harsh animal-rights campaign targets NJ firm, workers. Chris Mondics, The Philadelphia Inquirer, July 14, 2002.

" behind every corporation there are people who have homes and liability and privacy issues." Kevin Kjonaas, (SHAC) Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty leader and spokesperson, quoted in the Mercury News, San Jose, California, May 10, 2003

"Last night in San Diego a bunch of townhouses were burned down, and reporters from two corporate TV stations just asked me, 'What good does that do your movement?'... If that hadn't happened, you wouldn't be here tonight. People willing to risk their lives to protect the environment by destroying buildings built on the habitat of endangered species make people take notice... Fire is a very sacred power, one of the key elements of our planet...We use fire to cleanse ourselves, and when we address buildings and institutions that have no other purpose but to destroy life, fire is the only way to stop them. When people ask if someday someone might get hurt by one of our actions, I ask them why they don't get so concerned about the people who are killing animals for a living. That is what the terrorism in this society is. Destroying property to protect life is the most sacred thing we can do." Rod Coronado, Earth Liberationist, convicted arsonist in 1992 Michigan State University firebombing and beneficiary of PeTA funds, speaking "Revolution Summer" in Hillcrest, CA (a suburb of San Diego), August 1, 2003, the day a $50 million fire credited to the Earth Liberation Front torched an apartment construction project, Zenger's Newsmagazine, 2003.

"A lot of people think that -- Oh my god, that's going too far, you know. People can support bringing animals out of labs, but they can't support arson. Well, I'm sorry. I'm not here to, to please people. I'm not here to win the support of people. I'm here to represent my animal relations who are suffering this very second. And I don't care what anybody says about what I do to achieve their freedom."

"Huntingdon Life Sciences is going to close. You can't close it with those evil riot police there, but they're not always here! It's not always daylight ... Come here when it's dark, when there's no moon, with people you can trust! There are individuals in there who need you to do that! But when you get them out, don't leave the equipment or the building standing either! Smash it! Smash it! Smash it once and for all!" Robin Webb, British Animal Rights Terrorist, speaking at a Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) rally, East Millstone, New Jersey, outside a medical research facility, December 1, 2002

"So-called activists who talk to the police disgust me, and I think one of the major reasons the animal liberation movement has not made more significant gains is because many activists do not understand the evolutionary nature of this movement. We're fighting a major war, defending animals and our very planet from human greed and destruction. There is no room for collaborators." David Barbarash, Spokesperson for the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) No Compromise, the journal of the Animal Liberation Front

"Bank executives have had their yachts sunk behind their houses. Cars have been blown up; windows have been smashed; offices have been stormed. We're tired of yelling at buildings -- no one cares. We're tired of yelling at executives while they're in those buildings, and allowing them to go home and forget about us who are out there that afternoon -- we're going to their homes. We're doing what's effective. We're shutting this company down." Lauren James, Organizer, "Conference on Organized Resistance," American University, January 26, 2003

"I am convinced that we can shut down a lot of these animal abuse industries whether the public agrees with it or not.

Craig Rosenbraugh, recipient of PETA funds, Spokesperson for Earth Liberation Front (ELF) statement, August 1, 1999

"A burning building doesn't help melt people's hearts, but times change and tactics, I'm sure, have to change with them? If you choose to carry out ALF-style actions, I ask you to please not say more than you need to, to think carefully who you trust, to learn all you can about how to behave if arrested, and so to try to live to fight another day." Ingrid Newkirk, PeTA's founder and president, Interview in ALF quarterly Bite Back, February, 2003

"Why should any one of us feel that 'it shouldn't be me taking that brick and chucking it through that window? Why shouldn't I be going to that fur farm down the road and opening up those cages?' It's not hard; it doesn't take a rocket scientist. You don't need a 4-year degree to call in a bomb hoax. These are easy things, and they're things that save animals: And so I want all of you in this room to, A) Question not just what is right and wrong, but what is effective, And B) why can't all of us be doing it? I think the animal rights movement is strong - that's my opinion. But it's time to start flexing our muscles." Kevin Kjonaas, Spokesperson and National Director, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA (SHAC USA) "Animal Rights 2002" convention, June 30, 2002

" I openly hope that it hoof-and-mouth disease comes here.

"Perhaps the mere idea of receiving a nasty missive will allow animal researchers to empathize with their victims for the first time in their lousy careers. I find it small wonder that the laboratories aren't all burning to the ground. If I had more guts, I'd light a match." Ingrid Newkirk, PeTA founder and president, The Chronicle of Higher Education November 12, 1999

"Even granting that we humans face greater harm than laboratory animals presently endure if ... research on these animals is stopped, the animal rights view will not be satisfied with anything less than total abolition." Tom Regan, The Case for Animal Rights, 1983

"Even painless research is fascism, supremacism." Ingrid Newkirk, PeTA's founder and president, Washington Magazine, August 1986

"If we really believe that animals have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course we're going to be, as a movement, blowing things up and smashing windows ... I think it's a great way to bring about animal liberation ... I think it would be great if all of the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it's perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows. ... Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it." Bruce Friedrich, PeTA's director of Vegan Outreach, Animal Rights Conference, 2001

"Throughout the late '80s, me and a handful of friends just like you people here, we started to break windows, we started to slash tires, we started to rescue animals from factory farms and vivisection breeders, and we graduated to breaking into laboratories ? As long as we emptied the labs of animals, they were still easily replaced. So that's when the ALF in this country, and my cell, started engaging in arson." Rodney Coronado, convicted felon for 1992 Michigan State University firebombing and PeTA funds beneficiary, speaking at SHAC rally, Edison, New Jersey, November 30, 2002

"Animal liberation, of which the anti-vivisection movement is a part, animal liberation is not a campaign. It is not a struggle. It is a war!

"Getting together three or four friends of mine, we came back a week later to that farm, we broke into the main laboratory, we trashed every single piece of equipment, we stole documents and lists of fur farms across the nation. And we started a fire in an experimental fur farm, an experimental feed building, where they manufactured the experimental diets which were the focus of research at this farm. And that fire destroyed all the equipment, and in the ensuing raid, the raid that happened caused enough damage that six months later that lab was forced to shut down. That was five people, folks -- once again maybe like twelve hundred dollars, a couple weeks of planning, five people. But that wasn't the end. I knew I had to continue, and for the next -- oh gosh, a little over a year -- we took out, one by one, every recipient of what's called the Mink Farmers Research Foundation. It's a foundation whose sole purpose is to aid research to benefit the fur farm industry."

We hit Washington State University's Eastern Washington experimental fur farm. We did get seven coyotes out of there, six mink, and ten mice ? We burned down a fur farm that was on the market to be sold, in Oregon also. We went to the Michigan State University's experimental fur farm program and destroyed thirty-two years of research, by using fire once again, and rescued two mink from there."

"In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love, and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from a perilous life on the street. But it is also important to stop manufacturing "pets," thereby perpetuating a class of animals forced to rely on humans to survive." -PETA pamphlet, Companion Animals: Pets or Prisoners?

"I don't use the word "pet." I think its speciest language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship enjoyment at a distance." -Ingrid Newkirk, PETA vice-president, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.

Animal welfare VS. animal rights

Animal welfare is animal rights, the non-vegan version.

"Not only are the philosophies of animal rights and animal welfare separated by irreconcilable differences... the enactment of animal welfare measures actually impedes the achievement of animal rights... Welfare reforms, by their very nature, can only serve to retard the pace at which animal rights goals are achieved." Gary Francione and Tom Regan, "A Movement's Means Create Its Ends," The Animals' Agenda, January/February 1992, pp. 40-42.

"The theory of animal rights is simply not consistent with the theory of animal welfare or other approaches that reject the rights view and, more importantly, embrace animal exploitation. Animal rights means dramatic social changes for humans and nonhumans alike; if our bourgeois values prevent us from accepting those changes. then we have no right to call ourselves advocates of animal rights." - Gary Francione, Director of the Rutgers Animal Rights Law Clinic: Animals' Voice, VOL. 4, NO. 2, pp. 54-55)

"I despise 'animal welfare.' That's like saying, 'Let's beat the slaves three times a week instead of five times a week'." Gary Yourofsky, founder, Animals Deserve Adequate Protection Today and Tomorrow (ADAPTT), PeTA's national lecturer, quoted in "As Threats of Violence Escalate, Primate Researchers stand Firm", Chronicle of Higher Education, Washington, DC, November 12, 1999

"The major success of this decade the 1980s has been the reapplication of the concept of rights in the human population to nonhuman species." John Kullberg, president, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, as quoted in Charles Oliver, ?Liberation Zoology," Reason, 22, No. 2 (June 1990), p. 24.

"As long as humans have rights and non-humans do not, as is the case in the welfarist framework, then non-humans will virtually always lose when their interests conflict with human interests. Thus welfare reforms, by their very nature, can only serve to retard the pace at which animal rights goals are achieved." Francione & Regan, "A Movement's Means Create Its Ends," Animals' Agenda, Jan.-Feb., 1992

--

The only difference between animal welfare and animal rights is that animal welfarists don't necessarily go far enough for the vegan animal rights movement by shunning meat-eating, the wearing of leather or fur, or the

Humans are classified in the animal kingdom because we have more in common with many animals than we have with any plant or mineral. This classification is not meant to put humanity down on a level with other animals and advance animal rights and other radical anti-human movements.

The animal kingdom is divided into various groups such as vertebrates and non-vertebrates, mammals and non-mammal species. Once these lines have been drawn, it is considered a gross error and possibly even dangerous to assume a species belongs to one category particularly when care of that species is involved. Of course, there are many more classifications within the animal kingdom, a rat is not a pig, is not a dog, is not a boy.

On this basis, it is time to establish another line which must never be crossed if humanity is to have a chance against the dangerous anti-human sentiment that is animal and environmental activism.

People (humans) VS animals.

Animals are animals, and people are people.

Animal rights/welfare activists claim we are all animals, and there are many activist groups and individuals who wish to put animals above humans as deserving of even the most basic of rights.

Language is one very important tool they are using to attempt this goal.

In an article titled Watch Your Language, Charlotte McGowan, Newton, Massachusetts, calls attention to this disturbing trend:

"I would like to make some observations about language. The animal rights people want to change language to help them in their quest to give animals legal standing and we are helping them. Time to stop."

The following are animal rights/welfare terms that have managed to be picked up and believed by the general public thanks to shoddy media publicity that touts animal rights dogma as fact, and the sentimental tendency for pet lovers to anthropomorphize, not wanting to realize the truth about how dangerous this cutesy trend actually is in advancing the animal rights agendas. It is in your best interest to reject all of these.

explanations below.

1. "Adopt" - Acquiring animals from another person, breeder, pet store, or pound. Animals are not people. They are bought, sold, given away, and acquired. Human children are adopted...

Ms. McGowan addresses the misuse of this term in her article, saying:

"Adopting - this is a term used for humans. We don't adopt animals. Sorry, rescues don't offer animals for adoption either. They offer them for placement. They re-home them. But they aren't adopted. If money changes hands, they sell them. A shelter here in Mass grosses over $700,000 a year selling imported shelter strays, mutts and feral street dogs. They go for $350 a pop. They don't rescue in my opinion, they keep product in the store! They have a big so-called not for profit 501(c)3 business. If we start calling it like it is (and I do) believe me you are going to feel so much better.  Now if a purebred rescue collects money from someone for a dog, they are taking money as a placement or re-homing fee or they are asking to be reimbursed for expenses related to the re-homing."

McGowan  gives a call we all need to heed if we are to maintain the right to have our own animals in our own homes, and have a choice in which animals we may keep as pets.

"Let's drop adoption. Animal rights people love us if we help them. Let's stop helping them."

2. "Foster" - Taking in an animal,again using a word meant to apply to children - fostering is for children, not for animals.

Charlotte McGowan agrees. Though she mentions dogs specifically in the following statement, it holds true for all animals.

"Fostering - This is a term used for children taken by the state and put in the care of people not their parents. We don't foster dogs. We provide temporary care for displaced dogs. Sorry if you find that awkward but we can all benefit by retraining ourselves."

3. "Referring to animal(s) as "Child" "furkid" "furchild" "for-legged children" "furbabies" "*insert animal species)-child/kids" any reference to an animal as a "child" "son" or "daughter" "little sister/brother" or "big sister/brother" if the animal came along before the child, and even as "grandkids" if your pet has given birth, or your grown children have acquired pets - This is an attempt to remove the words "pet" and "owner" from our vocabulary, and our rights to keep and see animals for what they are - animals.

This trend is extremely common among pet lovers, but it's a push to give animals equal status to humans, a very large part of the animal welfare/rights agenda.

"What we must do is start viewing every cow, pig, chicken, monkey, rabbit, mouse, and pigeon as our family members." Gary Yourofsky, Humane Education Director, PETA, The Toledo Blade, June 24, 2001

This is the same Gary Yourofsky who says:

"Every woman ensconced in fur should endure a rape so vicious that it scars them forever." Gary Yourofsky, "humane education lecturer" employed by PeTA, published Thursday, Jan. 24, 2008 in The Shield, the student newspaper of Indiana Southern University. Yourofsky is a convicted felon that spent 6 months in a maximum security prison in Canada. http://media.www.usishield.com/media/storage/paper605/news/2008/01/24/Opinion/Special.Editorial.Animal.Rights.Ethical.Veganism-3164767.shtml

Referring to humans as "skinkids" and "two-legged children" is implying that there is a belief that animals are children that have fur, scales, fins and feathers.

Ms. McGowan has this to say:

"Words that do not belong in the language at all - furbabies, furkids, fur children. All of these terms make animals into children who (gasp) need guardians, adoption and fostering."

4. "Guardian" "pet parent" "mommy" "daddy" "care-taker" "steward" of animals - the animal owner. Unfortunately, many people think it's kind, warm, fuzzy, and cute, failing and often not wanting to realize this is helping out the animal rights in their goal to have us  view animals as children, and eventually give up the right to keep animals at all.

On the subject of animal "guardianship" VS. animal ownership, Ms. McGowan says:

Guardian - legal term used for the legally responsible person caring for a minor child or incapacitated person. I think we get this one. We have to fight Guardian language in animal ordinances tooth and nail because a guardian takes away ownership from the owner. If you own a dog it is yours. If you are a guardian, you are not an owner. You are a person or entity with legal care responsibility. If dogs have guardians instead of owners, we no longer have ownership rights.

5. "Owned by" or "slave to" - As opposed to "I own." Many people think this is cute again, but animal rights dictates that we don't own anything, we are intruders tresspassing on land the animals own.

6. "Companion animal" - Pet. The term 'companion animal' was coined by none other than Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder of the animal activist group PEta, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, because she wants to get rid of pet ownership. She shuns the word pet and we shun the word 'companion animal'. Read her statement, she uses several animal welfare/rights extremist terms in this little diatribe alone:

"I don't use the word "pet." I think its speciest language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship enjoyment at a distance." -Ingrid Newkirk, PETA vice-president, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.

"Liberating our language by eliminating the word 'pet' is the first step ... In an ideal society where all exploitation and oppression has been eliminated, it will be NJARA's policy to oppose the keeping of animals as 'pets.'" -New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance, "Should Dogs Be Kept As Pets? NO!" Good Dog! February 1991, p.20

"In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love, and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from a perilous life on the street. But it is also important to stop manufacturing "pets," thereby perpetuating a class of animals forced to rely on humans to survive." -PETA pamphlet, Companion Animals: Pets or Prisoners?

"Pet ownership is an abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation." -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, Washingtonian, August 1986

"It is time we demand an end to the misguided and abusive concept of animal ownership. The first step on this long, but just, road would be ending the concept of pet ownership." -Elliot Katz, President, In Defense of Animals, "In Defense of Animals," Spring 1997

"Let us allow the dog to disappear from our brick and concrete jungles -- from our firesides, from the leather nooses and chains by which we enslave it." -John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of A Changing Ethic, PETA, 1982, p.15.

"The cat, like the dog, must disappear..... We should cut the domestic cat free from our dominance by neutering, neutering, and more neutering, until our pathetic version of the cat ceases to exist." -John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of a Changing Ethic, PETA 1982, p.15.

"As John Bryant has written in his book Fettered Kingdoms, they pets are like slaves, even if well-kept slaves." -PETA's Statement on Companion Animals

"One day we would like an end to pet shops and breeding animals Dogs would pursue their natural lives in the wild." -Ingrid Newkirk, Chicago Daily Herald, March 1, 1990

"You don't have to own squirrels and starlings to get enjoyment from them ... One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals. Dogs would pursue their natural lives in the wild ... they would have full lives, not wasting at home for someone to come home in the evening and pet them and then sit there and watch TV." -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, Chicago Daily Herald, March 1, 1990.

7. "Forever home" - A rescuer's way of '"screening" people from owning animals. If you can't absolutely guarantee that you and your home will be here or that you won't become sick or otherwise unable to care for the animal for the rest of its life, you're not a 'forever home' and not good enough to own a pet. The truth is nobody can or should be expected to make such guarantees, life happens and sometimes things change and are beyond our control.

8."Responsible" - This word is often used in conjunction with "pet owner" "breeder" "farming" in exactly the same way other disclaimer words are meant to point out an abaration, as if "responsible" owners are the abaration and the special rarity while "irresponsibility" runs rampant as the norm in animal ownership. What talking about "responsible" pet owners does is accusing most ownership of irresponsibility by default while claiming a select few are the "responsible" ones. It also gives the animal welfare fundamentalists any excuse to call you "irresponsible" for any and all subjective opinions held against you.

9. "Ethical" and "reputable" - These words are used in conjunction with 'breeder' in exactly the same way. Oddly enough, 'reputable' is even used by "rescuers" to judge one another as well. This is because although they may unite against any average animal owner or breeder who does not call themself a "rescue" even "rescuers" disagree about animal care, and will tear down the next "rescue" as abusive.

10. "Rescue" - acquiring animals to either keep or place into new homes. This term is particularly nasty toward any previous owner because every time you claim to have 'rescued' an animal, it is insulting the previous owner. For it to be a true rescue there has to be some serious and immediate danger involved that the animal is being saved from. I.E. A kitten up a tree or puppy down a deep hole. Most pets aren't in danger except for sicknesses and accidents, and that should be no reflecction on the owner. Too many people buy animals from others who for whatever reason can't keep them any more, then turn around and claim to have 'rescued' the animals.

11. "Refuge" and "sanctuary" - Placement home or facility. Like the word "rescue," "refuge" and "sanctuary" when applied to surrendered pets, slanders the previous owner as something the animal needed to seek "refuge" or "sanctuary" from.

12. "Animal rights" - a term associated with the most extreme animal activist groups. These groups are known for committing very unkind actions toward fellow humans in the name of "compassion and kindness for animals" while attempting to stop the wearing of fur and leather, the eating of meat, and the keeping of exotic pets. What isn't as well known about animal rights groups is that they want to stop all pet ownership, including that of dogs and cats, end all medical research that is done in order to save life, and the use of any and all animal products. Animal rights groups are known for veganism. They take The most extreme stance that animals should have rights, and more rights than humans. This is why they call it "murder" when a person eats meat, but they don't make a peep when a cat kills a mouse, wolves kill caribou, and lions kill zebra etc.

Some animal rights believers keep "companion animals" and still feed  them pet food made from meat and animal products. Normal pet foods. They call this necessary for their 'companion animals' which must eat right, and should have the right to eat what's best for them and what they like.

They seem fine with supporting the meat industries to feed their animals, but not to feed themselves or other humans. To them, it's good if an animal eats it, but it's evil if a human eats it.

Others feed their carnivore and omnivore "companion animals" specially formulated vegan pet foods. They don't seem to truly have the animal's interest at heart, and are willing to put their companion's health in jeopardy with a bad diet in order to not support the meat industry. There is serious contension among the animal rights/welfare factions over this.

13. "Animal welfare" This is actually animal rights, the non-vegan version. The only difference between animal welfare and animal rights is that animal welfarists don't necessarily go far enough for the vegan animal rights movement by shunning the idea that animals are property, meat-eating, the wearing of leather or fur, or the use of animal products.

Animal welfare is a slightly less extreme sect of animal rights, because they have more in common with them than not.

Animal welfare activists may be pet owners and breeders, and definitely "rescues" interested in fighting to keep their own animals, but they will be among the first right along with the vegan animal rights to spread animal abuse tales without question, go after anybody they believe might be "irresponsible" as an animal owner/breeder, even "rescuer.

Animal welfare activists tend to condemn pet stores, believing they get pups from "puppy mills," call their animals "furkids" use "adopt" instead of buy or sell, and pass around e-petitions associated with ASPCA and other animal rights groups such as FOA (Friends of Animals,) IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare,) Best Friends, In Defense of Animals, even Green Peace, HSUS  and PETa. Whatever tugs at their heartstrings no matter who originally started it, they get behind it, not knowing or caring that they are making deals with the devil to fight a largely distorted, even non-existent evil that is said to be done to animals.

 They often work in and boast about what they call 'rescue'. Many don't sell animals, they "adopt" them out...for a fee, of course; screening potential owners, making it as difficult to acquire a pet as it is to get into Mensa for most people. Many will not let you acquire an animal unless you buy two, or promise on your life that you will get that animal a play mate of its own species. Like the more extreme animal rights, they often view animals as little children that need as much attention as a child, and that a human cannot fulfill this need.

Animal welfare activists have been known to round on people based on nothing but malicious rumor and gossip, staged scenes and doctored up pictures. Or else they use the suggestion method, that is, they tell you a huge sob story about animal abuse/neglect, making sure the tale grows worse and worse as they tell it. Then they show you a picture and tell you what's in it, even if it's really not there. The plan is that you're supposed to be so gripped by the emotion that comes from their horror story that you will see non-existent mounds of fecies and sad animals even when the picture shows otherwise. You are every bit as likely to hear wild myths about dog-flaying and cats being boiled alive in Korea from animal welfare as from the vegan animal rights activists. They are as likely to pass around news releases from extremist organizations that claim to save some species from the brink of extinction. They'll applaud this, without looking into the heart of the organization itself, to find that the organization
is working against animal ownership, especially when it comes to anything exotic - animals other than dogs and cats.

14. "Animal protection/advocacy" is really the same as "animal welfare" and "animal rights" just called by a different name.

"15. "Screening" Animal welfarists who have animals to 'adopt out' screen by asking millions of questions that, if not answered exactly to their satisfaction, they brand you as a terrible person and do their best to barr you from ever getting a pet, all based on their erronious beliefs that everybody is more likely to neglect or abuse rather than take care of and love their pets. It's their way of 'saving' the animal from going to the new owner who didn't measure up to the demands of the pound or rescue that has the animals. Some animal welfarists even go as far as to demand you will your animals to someone else upon your death, and if you don't do this, you're not fit to own a pet.

16. "Backyard breeder" - The term "backyard breeder" is particularly nasty, because it is very anti-family and anti-pet. It's designed to make people think of the slob who keeps his dogs in the backyard, constantly breeding dogs and keeping them in bad conditions. In truth, a real backyard breeder is nothing more than a family that has a dog or cat which has a litter. So, animal rights/welfare people are actually against anyone owning pets that breed even once, unless of course they are the pet owners themselves.

17. "Puppy mill" - A term made up by the animal rights and welfare activists, especially the so-called Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to slander all dog breeders and kennels.

Ms. McGowan states:

"Puppy Mill- There is no such thing. Puppy mill is a slur, like the "n....." word. Let's stop using it. We hate substandard kennels. We want all dogs to be kept well. Well kept dogs are well kept dogs whether they are in kennels or in homes. It isn't about how many dogs there are it is about how well they are kept.

18. "Factory Farm" - a farm. It could mean anything from a small family farm to a commercial farm, if they want to smear any farmer, they call it a factory farm

Ms. McGowan observes:

"HSU$ calls all farms factory farms. When have you ever heard them talk about or care about family farms?  Now they call all breeders puppy mills. They try to mumble in a remote footnote that there might be some good breeders but for them it is all about shelters and if not shelters rescues. Do you get it? They use language to slander all animal use and all dog breeders.  Their mumbled lip service doesn't fly with me."

Other terms designed to stir up hatred against anyone anywhere who owns and breeds animals:

19. "Broker"
20." "Collector"
21. "Horder"
22. "Roadside Zoo"

All these terms are meant to paint any individual who is a victim of an animal welfare/rights smear or misguided, naive person's zeal to be an animal hero, in the worst light possible. If you have too many cats for your neighbor's liking, they can call you a 'horder'. If you breed your dog even once, you could be smeared as a 'backyard breeder'. If you are an animal breeder, they call you a 'mill'. Even people who don't otherwise buy into the animal rights agenda, jump at any and all chances to call the next animal owner one of these intentionally derogatory ar-invented terms. Everybody loves to tell and believe animal abuse stories, true or not. Some people gossip and hurl these terms around in order to try stomping out their competition. 'I'm selling this animal. Whatever you do, don't go and buy from Breeder b. He's a mill.' Others do it to make themselves feel taller than the next person. 'I love my animals. But look at Owner C, she's a horder and abuser!' 'Look at me, I just RESCUED 1000 horribly abused
and neglected animals from Person D.' 'A warning about buyer E: she's got too many animals, she's a collector and can't possibly take care of any more.' 'Don't sell to her!' You can even get slapped with the 'mill' term if so much as one of your animals has an infirmity or a condition. A 'rescuer' could slander you as a bad breeder or owner if one of your cats has an eye or ear infection. "Shut down H's operation, he's a roadside zoo!"

The animal welfarists don't want you to question this and realize that they are actually pushing to get rid of pet breeders and ownership altogether, and they are slandering the family as a place to raise a pet.

23. "Spay/neuter/fix" something strongly urged as part of the animal rights agenda to end pet ownership. They push to get animals 'fixed' by exaggerating and distorting tales about 'pet overpopulation' and tell lies about health hazards of not 'fixing' your animal.

24. "Innocent animals" - Highly emotional term used by animal welfare/rights activists stricken with a distorted sense of pity for animals. Animals don't come 'innocent' or 'guilty' these are human atributes.

25. "Wild animal" - Yes, even this term has been corrupted for use in the anti-exotic animal ownership agendas.

In reality, a wild animal is an animal that is born and living in the wild, and would certainly act wild if caught, and have less of a chance at thriving in captivity as a result.

Exotic animals which are not born in the wild may not be considered technically domestic, but that doesn't make them wild in the true sense. There are exotic animals that are tame and friendly, and make even better pets than some domesticated animals. The only difference between an exotic pet and a domestic one is that exotic animals generally lack a long history of being so commonly born and bred in captivity.

26. "Let an animal species be that species" - This is an animal welfarist way of looking down on the next person for taking care of their animals differently from them. It is an anthropomorphic idea that suggests animals have an understanding of human concepts such as "Who and what am I?" They do not. "Let the animal be that animal" is as dangerous as the anthropomorphic idea that animals are furkids. It seeks to further an agenda to sever human and animal ties by assuming an animal is not allowed to "be itself" in the care of its owner.

It is also ridiculous, because no animal species becomes or decides to pretend to be a different species, ever, regardless of its environment. A dog will always be a dog; it can't be anything else, it IS a dog. a cat will always be a cat because that's what it is, a cat. a monkey will always be a monkey, because it IS a monkey.

Just because some people don't allow their animals to take over their house, does not turn those animals into something other than their species. You are not stopping a dog from being a dog by doing what you can to prevent them from chewing up shoes and peeing against furniture. You are not stopping a cat from being a cat because you try to prevent it from scratching up the furniture. You are not stopping a sugar glider from being a glider or a rat from being a rat by not letting it loose in the house where there is a lot of potential for it to get in trouble without close and constant supervision.

Only human beings have the concept and the ability to "be" something, and even that does not extend to another species. A human can act like a dog, but that doesn't make that human turn into a dog. We may say "I'm being a cat for halloween" which means we are choosing to dress up in a cat costume and say "Meow!" a few times on one day out of the year. Animals simply don't "be" anything other than what they are, even if some pet owners put their pets in silly doll clothes and costumes for Halloween or anything else. You might dress your cat up with bunny ears, but your cat is not "being" a rabbit, it is simply a cat dressed up to look like a rabbit. A dog or monkey wearing baby or doll clothes and being pushed around in a stroller is not a dogkid or monkid, it is not your child, it is still a dog or monkey, yours or someone else's pet. Animals do not turn into something else, or pretend to be something other than what they are.

Yes, some species are disguised to look like others in order to avoid predation in the wild. That is not "pretending/being" That's how the species was created for the purpose of survival.

27. "Shelter" - the pound. Shelters as in those for the homeless and battered women are for people. The pound is for animals.

28. "Rainbow Bridge" and 'Rainbow angel' - Animal has died. Some of these people actually believe their animals are angels watching out for them and they will one day meet across the "rainbow bridge" and let's face it, they just can't deal with the fact that their animals die. Yet, many of these same people can carry on for ages, telling tales of animals screaming and dying in agony while the "life drains out of their eyes" when the animals in question were not their own and were thought to be abandoned or abused.

29. "Angel" This term has two meanings in the animal welfare world, one to describe a person who has reached the coveted status of animal hero by "rescuing" and especially sacrificing a great deal to save an animal. You won't be considered an angel for having an animal put down that is living an unnatural life in pain that will only worsen if it is kept alive. You would be considered an angel if you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on medications, surgery, or other treatments that are not necessarily even cures, for a sick hamster, feril cat, a 30 dollar rabbit or stray mutt.

"Angel" also refers to any and all animals, because every animal is considered practically a deity or at least as precious as children, often more so, by these people.It is always pure and innocent, and without any faults, therefore, must be saved at all costs, regardless of the toal that takes on the human or the animal itself.

Animal angels are sometimes referred to as "rainbow angels" after they die. Then, they have reached the equivalent of sainthood to animal welfarists, and must be mourned very publically for years to come, especially if there is a belief there was any suffering or abuse involved. Animal welfare people are seen talking about how hard they cry and how they just can't carry on after their animals die. They are comforted by their peers, who express nearly as much traumatization, whether or not these friends have ever had any physical contact with the animal during its life. By contrast, the death of a human receives very little recognition or mourning, unless the human in question perrished in the act of trying to save animals, or was known as a staunch animal advocate. If a human who is judged as an animal abuser dies, there is no mourning, instead, there is great glee from animal welfare activists.

30. "Vivisection" and "vivisector" - surgery, surgeon, animal research and researcher. Medical history throughout the ages is barbaric but the animal researchers of today have means of making themselves and their animals as comfortable as possible. Ancient surgeons didn't have these means. Nor are they anything like the truly cruel quacks of the past such as Mengel. But animal activists want people to believe that if you work in animal research, you are a sadist just like Joseph Mengel.

Vivisection can even mean a spay or neuter. It means surgery on a being....

31. "speciesism" - Looking out for our own species. Animal rights activists claim this is as bad as racism, but every animal species looks out for its own species first, it is not racism, it's natural.

32. "Dog fighting" "cock fighting" and "blood-sport" "bait-dog/animal" - Way overblown, highly emotionally charged terms to plant images in people's heads of dogs and roosters being torn apart for entertainment. "blood-sport" implies blood is always shed in a recreational activity involving animals, even when there isn't any blood being shed. "bait-dog" caters to the animal welfare myth that small dogs, especially strays are being snatched up by "dog fighters" to be used as training prey for large breed dogs to kill. This myth has grown into a parallel one that is equally bogus.The claim is that when you have your animal put down, you must stay with it or else the vet will not kill it, and instead, send it to a research facility, where it will live out the rest of its life in sheer agony. Even more convoluted is the myth that the vet is actually a broker who sells animals meant to be put down to dog fighters, or to rendering plants where your pets get turned into pet food.

Not true.

Cock and dog fighting is illegal and practically non-existent. But animal welfare groups know the size of the emotional wallop from a "Stop the dog fighting!" campaign is massive enough to dupe the public into clammering to get a so-called anti-fight bill passed, which doesn't stop any real fighting. Instead, it only punishes innocent animal owners with ridiculous restrictions. You may not be allowed to keep your birds in a certain type of flight, because the anti-cock fight bill deemed it a flight used to keep fighting roosters, so the environment itself might make you a fighter, and therefore, it's bad. The outlawing of treadmills for dogs to run on by anti-dog fighting bills would hurt kennels that use these treadmills to give the dogs their exercise. You may not be allowed to own a smaller dog if you own a pitbull or rotweiler, because you could be accused of using a bait dog. That is no different from making it illegal for cat owners to keep pet mice.

This is big brother on steroids, mascarading as compassion for animals.

33. "Canned hunt" - an animal rights/welfare myth about shooting animals in cages and the like. If you own a vast amount of property and you shoot a coyote to protect your livestock, you could be guilty of the 'canned hunt'. Or killing your own excess animals could mean that as well. But the animal rights radicals would have people believe that canned hunts as they describe them with animals being put in cages and shot for entertainment is a reality, and a common one.

34. "Trophy hunting"

35. "Poaching"

"Trophy hunting" and "poaching" can almost be used interchangeably. It is a slag against all hunters. The intent of these terms is to stir up hysterical kneejerk reactions from the public, by making them believe hunters are running rampant in the wilds, killing everything in sight for proffit, and that hunting activity is always slobbish, illegal and irresponsible.

Chances are excellent that if you encounter any reference to "trophy hunting" and "poaching" eco-animal zealotry is involved. If not directly, it has influenced the media source, the law, the politics somewhere down the line. Keep in mind these are the same forces that wish to ban animal ownership, agriculture, and the use of animal products.

36. "Encroachment" - This term is used by environmentalists and animal rights/welfare activists who believe the earth belongs to the animals and that humans are a blight of invaders.

37. "Earth raper" - A most offensive term used by eco/animal-activists who claim to love the planet and everything on it except their own species, the human race.

"We encourage others to find a local Earth raper and make them pay for the damages they are inflicting on our communities... Furriers, meat packers, bosses, developers, rich industry leaders are all Earth rapers ? We must inflict economic sabotage on all Earth rapers." Craig Rosenbraugh, recipient of PETA funds, Spokesperson for Earth Liberation Front (ELF) statement, August 1, 1999

The liberal misuse of the word "rape" by these activists is disturbing and suggests they definitely have pervurse, ill intent on their minds.

If you keep bees, you are guilty of be rape according to Peta. They see it as forcing the bees to breed and make honey for you, which equals rape in their eyes.

Not only is this an insult to beekeepers, it is also an insult and trivialization to people who have been raped or know of others who have.

Peta has a terrible track-record for this sort of behavior. Its "Holocaust on a plate" demeans and trivializes the lives of anyone who suffered directly or indirectly because of the holocaust.

One of the most infamous quotes from Peta:

"Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughter houses." -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, The Washington Post, November 13, 1983.

38. "Zoofile" or "zoofilia" - A term for beastiality, an abaration in human behavior, but some if not most animal activists would have the public believing it is rampant. Just as you don't have to be cruel to get accused of animal cruelty, you don't have to engage in the sick behavior of beastiality to be accused of it. If you are in charge of animals, and you happen to see them having sex, that is enough for activists to accuse you of zoofilia, animal prostitution and whatever else they can come up with that makes you sound as sick as possible.

"Dog breeders are pimps" - a HSUS magazine article

39. "Global warming" - animal rights/eco/environmental climate myth designed to scare people and put the blame on humans as usual for the terror of the so-called greenhouse effect.

40. "Climate change" Same as above, only designed so they can blame any dire weather predictions on humans whether they come true or not.

41. "Greenhouse effect" 'greenhouse gases' - All part of the global warming myth touted by animal rights and environmental extremists. All too frequently believed by the general public, thanks to the media eating right out of the hands of the radicals again.

42. The "murder" of animals - 'murder' is a human killing another human. Only people get murdered, animals get killed.

43. "cannibalism" - when referring to humans eating meat. This is one of the more laughable terms because it's only cannibalism if you eat your own species. But to the vegan animal rights activists, it's cannibalism if a human eats any animal species. Animal welfare/rights activists do not call it cannibalism if an animal eats a human or some other kind of animal. So, we're 'cannibals' for eating chicken but chickens aren't 'cannibels' when they eat grasshoppers.

44. "Dead animals" or "dead animal flesh" or 'carcass' - Meat. This is designed to make meat eating sound inhumane and gross. Again, it's natural behavior for omnivores, and humans are for the most part, omnivores. There are those who choose to eat only plant matter, and that's their choice, but they should mind what's on their own plate and let other people eat what they like.

45. "Jail" or "prison" - A cage.

46. "Concentration camp" - Any facility that houses animals being targeted for a very bad smear campaign by animal rights/welfare extremists.

47. "Slavery" - This is a particularly malicious smear against farmers, pet owners, working animal owners, and also a terrible insult on any actual slaves and their human descendents today, just as is any reference to concentration camps, and comparisons to the holocaust is very tastelessly insulting on people who lived through and died in WWII and Hitler's hell.

48. "Those who can't speak for themselves" 'silent victims' or 'innocent animals' - Terms used by animal rightists designed to villify any human in any human/animal association, but especially where any animal death is involved. They only care about human death if it can be used to tout their agenda of stopping the ownership of animals.

49. "Cruelty-free" - Much as the general public wants to stop cruelty, most people are definitely against real cruelty, beware of anybody spouting how 'cruelty-free' they are, because it means they are animal rights radicals. And animal welfare/rights activists love to tell everyone, though they are very short on actually demonstrating this, how 'compassionate' 'caring' 'cruelty-free' and 'anti-cruelty' they think they are. This is also a put-off as it assumes the rest of us are not anti-cruelty.

The trick is to determine what is real cruelty. animal rights/welfare activists will call you cruel for many things, what you wear, what you eat, what animals you keep and what environment you keep them in. People routinely get their character ripped to shreds with false accusations of being "cruel" and "inhumane" for simply feeding the wrong kind of pet food according to pet activists. You can even be called "cruel" and "irresponsible" and worse if you have to give up an animal due to sickness, or someone developing an allergy to the pet in your home. So 'cruelty-free' for them may mean the ending of pet ownership, meat eating, depending on which branch of the animal rights agenda the particular person or outfit is talking about.

Animal welfarists commonly blacklist anyone they believe should never own an animal, and rarely is it because of genuine cruelty. Mostly these crusades come from misunderstandings, differences of opinion and very subjective judgemental and misguided calls to action against innocent people by animal welfare activists.

This could be because you do not subscribe to their beliefs such as pets are children or that all animal research is wrong and unnecessary, or that you stood up to show support for someone who was falsely accused as an animal abuser in the past. It doesn't matter if the animal welfare activists have met you in person and seen you handle animals. If you oppose their view on anything concerning animals, you are more likely to be viewed by them and their friends as anything from "irresponsible" to "dog fighter!" or that you might decide on a whim that you no longer want your pet, so you'll turn it over to be "tortured" in animal research.

Even finances and having a physical limitation can get you in trouble with animal welfare activists.

You may not have a large enough dwelling or yard, or are unable to take a dog for as many walks as the activist wants. You may be rejected as a potential owner because you are deaf and may not hear the animal when it wants or needs to get your attention. If you are blind, you could be barred by some activists from owning a small exotic animal such as a ferret or chinchilla because of your disability to turn it loose in the house for play time and keep an eye on it. Giving the animal attention and the best care you can otherwise is not good enough for these activists. As far as they are concerned, if you can't do things their way, you are not fit to own that animal and it is up to them to make that judgement call, not you.

In some cases, not only do animal welfarists refuse to let one of their animals go to you as a new owner, but they have even been known to tell as many animal breeders as they can to refuse to sell you an animal.

Sincere anti-cruelty and compassionate people never boast about how compassionate they think they are. Honestly caring and decent people hold human rights as precious to them and to others, and only seek to stop real cruelty where it exists. They do not go around trying to dictate how others live and interact with animals based on vegan and non-vegan animal welfare agendas. They don't need to be referred to, and do not call themselves "animal welfare/"rightists"/"protectionists"/"activists"/"advocates" etc. They do not need to shout from the roof-tops and wear badges on their sleeves saying "I CARE FOR ANIMALS!"

50. "Humane" - same as above, if anything involving animal activism is calling itself "humane" it is deceptive, and working to end human rights regarding animals.

Where do you think all these racist campaigns against Asia for eating dogs and cats, horrendous false animal abuse accusations and animal ban proposals calls to speuter all pets, change the word "owner" to "guardian" and "pet" to "companion animal," outcries to save the animals whenever a natural disaster hits and many people including children and infants are in danger of losing their lives, calls to end any and eventually all aggriculture, fishing, hunting, the use of working animals, come from?

Activist groups and companies touting themselves as "humane"

51. "You don't care about the animals!" - Typical animal rights browbeating of someone who disagrees with them, proves them wrong, or even dares to doubt any horrid tale of animal hell they tell.

Raids and lies about animal abuse occur far more frequently than any real animal abuse, and people have had their lives ruined by these accusations, hate campaigns and even death threats by animal activist groups.

PEta might stop slandering KFC - if KFC paid them enough money to shut up. But the company refuses to pay PEta to stop lying, so PEta continues to attempt to infiltrate, stage, and lie about KFC's abuse of chickens.

The internet is teeming with false animal abuse tales, along with photo-shopped pictures, or even very manipulative wording by the animal activist telling the tale, doing their best to make the reader see or not see whatever they want them to see.

Those sad animal abuse commercials with the sad-eyed puppies come from organizations that would take away your pets and call you an animal abuser in the blink of an eye. Those posters and commercials are staged, outdated, and organizations such as PEta and HSUS regularly victimize and dupe people in the name of saving animals. They play on ego as well, using words like "angel" to describe anybody who "saves" an animal, especially when appealing for you to get animals from the pound instead of buying one from a breeder. What this actually does, is promote their agenda to eventually end pet ownership altogether. No breeders, no more pets...Except for the pound imports from other countries to keep up the myth of "overpopulation" going and the pound proffits coming in.

The media plays into the public's fears of exotic pets, every time a tiger bites someone, that one story is hyped all over international TV, while the millions of other positive experiences with exotic pets get shunned from publication. The animal welfarists don't want the public to think about what they're really supporting when they are scared into screaming for animal bans. Exotic animals are not just tigers, they are pet fancy rats and mice as well as anything else other than a domestic dog or cat.

24. You enjoy making people who struggle against cancer and other grave conditions feel selfish for using modern, animal tested medications. In addition, you use their situation against them in order to promote your vegan diet, telling them some hooey hogwash you got from some twisted food-cop/animal activist group press release or chain letter, about how going vegan will get rid of their cancer, chemo therapy never works, and eating anything meat, dairy or eggs will kill them.
25. You think the Alaskan Iditirod is cruel, but fire-bombing somebody's place of business is cool.
26. You see hunting, fishing, and rodeo as disgustingly sick and exploitive, but you get a huge belly laugh or at least a very satisfied sense of 'justice' whenever a human being is injured or killed by a wild animal or bull.
27. When a vehicle hauling livestock is in an accident and the driver gets killed or seriously injured, your only tears are shed for the animals in that vehicle.

38. You yank a candy bar out of a three-year-old child's hand, claiming it's bad for them and some animal died to provide the fat - while you feed your cat vegan cat food because you can't stand meat in the house.

40. You can't distinguish between cattle feed and the food for the third world.

46. You are awe-struck at lions, wolves, or any wild animal carnivores showing their strength and stamina as they take down and eat their prey while it's still kicking - yet you sob crocodile tears over an animal's quick and painless death if some human benefits from it.
47. You package yourself up in a giant container that looks like a huge meat tray, strip and throw yourself on a pretend barbicue, put infants in turkey roasters or platters with all the trimmings, and other similar tasteless stunts in order to stop people from eating meat.

57. You'd rather see a stiffer penalty for cutting down a tree than molesting a child.
58. You think women who own or wear fur deserve to be viciously raped.
59. You repeat horrible and sometimes campy gory stories about animal abuse that never really happened and then get terribly upset with anyone who dares to set the record straight and shatter your self-image as some sort of animal saint.
60. You believe all animals bred and living in captivity have overpopulation problems while the animals living in the wild utopias are all on the very brink of extinction because of humans.

68. To promote veganism you memorize the names of twenty famous and brilliant vegetarians from history and make heedless reference to them every chance you get, forgetting that most weren't actually vegans and thus didn't share your beliefs to begin with.

69. You won't eat scallops or clams, which don't feel pain, even though you base your diet on preventing animal pain.

73. You are thrilled in your belief that you will live such a long and healthy life, but have a hard time finding someone to spend it with due to your 24 1/2 - 24 - 24 1/2 figure.
74. You drive through the ghetto, and when the poor people there take one look at you, they offer you their food stamps.
75. Your lack of B-12 and essential amino acids causes you partial loss of vision, which has the odd effect of making certain passages in the bible unreadable to you beyond what you can take of the book to twist into suiting your vegan idiology.
76. You're really good at smuggling narcotics because the depressions between your ribs are so deep.
77. Three months after you start your vegan diet, your father is happy because he thinks you are cutting weight for the state wrestling championships.
78. When you poop, the stench can clean out a skyscraper.
79. You scream about how eating animals will kill humans prematurely while drawing noxious fumes from your (clove) cigarette into your lungs.
80. You leap on the food-cop bandwagon and join the cry to ban everything that tastes good while hyping as many bogus studies and statistics as you can that tell you why organic food and any other current "health" trend is the only best and safe thing while fast food is a heart attack on a plate that will make you gain a ton just by looking at it.
81. You get mad when reading 68-80 because it's so not nice to joke about pitfalls of a vegan diet, yet you love anti-hunting jokes, and think it's fine with you for PEta to hand out flashcards that depict meat eaters as obese slobs who are all going to die of heart disease and get what PEta and you think they deserve.
82. You get mad when reading 68-80 because as a vegetarian, your feelings have been hurt. so you consequently are too cheesed off to find any of this list funny, ranting about it being nothing but crap and so on.
83. You're into some really creepy and sick activities I.E. bondage&discipline, domination/submission, in other words, inflicting pain on yourself or someone else with your/their consent - but can't find a master or slave with only vegan, non-leather accessories.
84. Virtual BDSM isn't real or disgusting enough for you, So, you instead get your jollies watching faked up PEta videos and reading horrible stories about animals being tortured or you participate in acts of staging abuse for the camera while shouting to anyone you can how compassionate and caring for the animals you think you are.
85. You think it's horribly cruel and depraved to keep or breed animals as pets, livestock or working animals, but you vigorously defend BDSM, polyamory or any other icky lifestyle choices you're into.

87. You've actually considered pipe bombing the producer of "B.J. and the Bear" due to his heedless exploitation of animals.
88. You would save a bright dog and leave a disabled child behind if you had to choose which to save.
89. You go to release hawks, eagles, owls and vultures from what you have judged as the horrid captivity of the facility designed to promote a better understanding of these animals and are genuinely shocked that the raptors would rather rend flesh from your bones than go flying around you in gratitude for freeing them.
90. The last thing you ever see in the wild is the untamed bear/wolf/large cat that you claimed you trusted and would never ever attack you.
91. You proudly but naively proclaim yourself to be a friend of all animals or that all animals are your friends.
92. You believe all domestic animals that are not considered "show quality" registered with ACK etc are the only animals to be allowed to breed. All others are considered junk animals which were always the result of some "backyard breeding" (term you use to condemn most anyone who has bred any animals) even if they are in good health, and no one can judge that better than you can, because you need to be the great animal hero.
93. You consider it incredibly vain, selfish, and abusive to keep breeding animals, and to breed them for specific characteristics, even good health and temperment. You live by the "Don't buy while others die" motto that promotes the shutting down of animal shows, breeders, and shops, while hounding people to 'adopt' from 'shelters' instead.
94. You believe guide dogs are poorly treated slaves that need to be liberated from their owners who must be cruel to actually let an animal help guide him instead of depending on people taking time out of their busy schedules to help out.
95. You believe pets are slaves and/or that farm animals are slaves in concentration camps.
96. You consider humans killing animals for food to be as grevous as the holocaust or 911 or any human tragedy.
97. Your idea of mercy is stealing dogs and cats, killing them, and leaving their bodies in dumpsters.
98. Your idea of good entertainment is swapping animal abuse stories. The gorier and more outlandish, the better, even if there's not a grain of truth in them..
99. You don't question or disagree with any myth, chain email petition or tale of animal suffering because you're terribly afraid some animal will die somewhere and it would be your fault. You guilt-trip anyone similarly if you find them questioning, disagreeing with or refuting animal rights rhetoric. To even think about the possibility let alone find out the abuse tale was a lie totally blows your status from hero to fool, and that's unbearable to you.
100. Your idea of compassion and how to be a good person is to start or join a gossip fest against an animal owner you have decided is irresponsible or cruel, or an establishment that uses animal products. You hope to stop them from ever owning another animal and do your best to make sure people believe every gory, twisted, distorted or just plain stupid false accusation you can dream up.
101. You give out personal information of people you claim are abusing animals and demand that everyone bombard them with hate mail.
102. You start a fight that you lose, and then you attack people with presumptions of animal abuse, not being Christian enough when they disagree with you about animals, and act as if you were the one being victimized in order to try bullying the others into submitting to agreeing with you.
103. You believe in saving the animals by abusing the humans.
104. You actually wish for disease or some other disaster to come along and wipe out the evil human population.
105. When a natural disaster such as a hurricane hits and relief is underway, you try to do one better and put out a call to "Save those poor animals!"
106. You gladly believe anything that villifies and promotes hatred of your own species, the human race.
107. You delight in the suffering of humans either inflicted by other humans or especially by animals.
108. You have an uncontrollable fear and rage that some human, somewhere, might be happy. This must mean some animal is being cruelly exploited somewhere. So, your mission is to squeltch all happiness by making people feel bad for being human. This means spreading as many wild tales of gloom and doom about animal abuse, overpopulation of unwanted pets and of humans, the destruction of the environment, and the end of the human race - possibly all in that order. You top that off by saying it is all their fault, then you lament the first several scenarios while awaiting the last - the end of the human race with a sense of puritanical self-righteousness and a kind of perverse delight.
109. Nothing man or God does concerning animals can come close to satisfactory for you. You know so much more than they do!
110. You either hate religion that's centered around the Bible or else use it as a tool to tout your animal rights views.
111. You read stuff like this and get angry instead of getting a good laugh out of it.
112. You read stuff like this and respond by posting your own list somewhere that isn't really funny or interesting at all.
113. You read stuff like this and get upset because it's too accurate a description of you for comfort.

When I went to pay for my new "ducky muck" shoes in Goodwill, the
STUPID girl behind the counter said "oh, do you hunt?"

WHAT?!?!! (excuse me while I throw up)

I said "I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT HUNT!!! I'm part of a duck RESCUE
network that SAVES ducks and that's what these shoes are for!!!"

The STUPID girl says "oh, I raise my ducks to eat them... but, I have
a pet turkey I'd never dream of eating."

It took every ounce of energy I had to not jump across the counter at
this STUPID white-trash redneck woman... I just had to say "we don't
need to discuss this issue any more then... I don't eat birds, I'm a
vegetarian."

Sometimes it's really hard for this city girl living in the "Redneck

You see, Rebeca, the "rescues" want to "rescue" ducks and deer from humanity
so they can die out in the wild from overpopulation and starvation as well
as disease, and even more importantly, those ducks need to be "saved" from
hunters so they can get ripped apart alive by wolves and coyotes that need
to eat and are far more cruel at killing than any human hunter worth his/her
salt! Now THAT is "compassion"!

:P

Geez, that "rescuer" post is going into the 'terminally stupid' section of
the site I'm working on. Duckgirl should've been shown the door for throwing
such an idiotic fit over a simple question.

Subject: Bev Millers final farewell......................

I just wanted to thank everyone who sent flowers to Bev's Memorial
Service yesterday. They were just beautiful and so appreciated by
all her family. Bev's Mother Virginia is having a really hard time
dealing with both the loss of a daughter and a granddaughter. Life
isn't suppose to be that way. Also, thanks to everyone who sent
beautiful memorials to her guest books. Thanks Arlene and Merr Klink
for her beautiful tribute websites. As always Arlene, you went
above and beyond with your kindness.
Bev was cremated and her ashes were buried at Dana's feet. Now they
truly will spend eternity together in the arms of Jesus guiding us
and protecting our beloved Boston Terriers.
In a couple of weeks, I will be going to Hiawatha to pick up Bev's
personal dogs and foster dogs and bring them back to Texas. Since
Gary is now blind, he will be moving to town to live with his
brother and can only take one dog with him. Dana's Boxer Gunner has
already moved in with Tonda. He is now 13 and the picture of health.
Bev and Gary have done such a wonderful job taking care of him since
Dana died.
And to the typically classless, poor white trash person Stinky that
sent these emails to public lists and ones much nastier to many of
Bev and my close friends, I have a few words for you now that the
morning period is over.
Nothing would make me happier than for you to drive to Hiawatha in
your economy car and meet me face to face at Bev's gravesite when I
return. I will be happy to email you the time and date and then I
can give Bev the gift of finally lowering myself to your level and
giving you a good lesson about respecting the dead. Please be sure
to bath, shave and put on clean clothes for a change, because I do
not want to dirty my hands anymore than I have to by giving you this
lesson. I will be the one in the Lincoln Town Car and I will not be
hiding behind my computer spewing venom like you do.
I doubt also that Ebay cares one way or another that all this got
posted. Just to let you know, Ebay is a website where people buy and
sell things. Sometimes you just can't teach stupid.
This is the last I will say on the subject but I too, am entitled to
one email as a response.
Edalee

PERMISSION GLADLY GIVEN TO POST MY RESPONSE ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO

For those of you who are still in denial, here is incontrovertible
proof
that Mary Stickney is a thoroughly vile and despicable excuse for a
human
being. Here is a conversation between her and her equally loathsome
friend
Joan Stambaugh, gloating over the death of Bev Miller, a caring and
compassionate woman who didn't have a mean bone in her body, whose
life's
mission was to save and rehabilitate Boston Terriers released from
puppy
mills.

It is simply not possible to get much lower than this. It's bad
enough that
Mary was so cruel and hateful to Bev when she was alive -
particularly in
the aftermath of the tragic death of Bev's daughter, Dana - but to
at least
not have the decorum and good taste to remain silent after her death
if she
couldn't say anything nice, is beyond my comprehension.

Mary Stickney is a woman completely lacking in breeding or manners
and
doesn't have an ounce of human compassion toward her fellow man or
the
animals that are unfortunate enough to come into her House of
Horrors.

I hope that this will finally make people wake up and see what a
walking
pile of human debris she really is. Mary, you are not fit to utter
or write
Bev's name. You should hang your head in shame.

DEATHS---HIAWATHA

Beverly June Miller, 60, of rural Hiawatha died Saturday morning,

She was born in Horton, KS October 20, 1944 to Robert and Virginia
Miller Carter.

Bev attended school in Hiawatha before moving to California. While
in

Boston&#8217;s, but she also became a breeder.

In 1977, Beverly and her family returned to Hiawatha, where she took
over the family business with Farmer&#8217;s Insurance. Bev
continued
her love of Boston Terriers by volunteering numerous hours and
opening
her home to Rescues.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Dana Maselter, her
father,
Robert Carter and her grandparents, George W. and Marie Miller.

She is survived by her mother, Virginia Carter, a daughter and
son-in-law, LaTonda and Johnny Goodson , granddaughters, Megan and
Kristin all of Hiawatha. Also surviving are granddaughter, Nicole
and
her husband, Adrian Lee, a great-grandson Kaiden all of Clovis, N.M.
Gary Davis her companion for years, survives of the home.

Memorial Graveside Services are planned for 1 p.m., Wednesday, June
8,
2005 at the Mt. Hope Cemetery in Hiawatha. Pastor Jim Akins will
officiate.

The family will meet with friends from 7-8:00 p.m., Tuesday evening
at
the Chapel Oaks Funeral Home in Hiawatha.

Memorials are suggested to Breast Cancer Awareness or the Boston
Terrier
Rescue, all of which may be sent in care of the funeral home, 124 S.

More Animal Welfare "Rescue" Moronics

And yes, this is yet another all too typical demonstration of how "rescuers" act. This time they're turning on several of their own - including the one that harassed the pet shop worker.

I tried to get rid of seriously foul language, so if I missed anything, sorry, but I just did replace-all on any terms I could think of that might have been there.

These animal welfare "rescues" do what they do best, sniping at each other because of appearance, a lot of them are real buttkissers for the food-cop agendas too, and attack fellow "rescuers" for perceived obesity, which is just as much of a crime in the animal activist mindset as animal abuse. Along with that, they are downing one another over animal care, with false animal abuse stories and poems flying. Notice how they claim the next "rescuer" is false or "pretends to run a sanctuary" etc.

If you look beyond the grade-school insult calling, you can see the animal "rescue" welfare message at work that says "I'm the very best, I care about the animals, and the person I hate, does not and is not a real rescuer" etc.

Joan, Joan the big fat crone

Did nothing at all but bitch and moan

And chain rescue dogs to a pickup bumper

And no man in the world would ever hump her.

*****************************************************

Little Poodie, poorly bred

Badly groomed, incorrectly fed

Belongs to Kim, drunk out of his head

And was purchased because poor Missy's dead.

***********************************************************

Stinky, Stinky in the nude

Had porkchops to be barbecued

It put her guests right off their food

And she couldn't understand their attitude.

**********************************************************

Stinky, Stinky feeding raw

Forgot to let the muttloaf thaw

So she cooked some mac and cheese

And served it with a can of peas.

************************************************

Mary, Mary lost her cherry

On the tenth of January

And the recipient of this easy lay

Decided he was turning gay.

************************************************

A doctor said the weight of Joan

Was getting near the danger zone

He told her she must slim and tone

And leave those Snickers bars alone.

Joan, Joan,
You live in fear
Of getting caught
With your hand up your rear.
---
You treat your dogs
No better than shit.
And then wonder why,
Upon your feet, people spit.
---
All you do
Is bitch and moan.
That's why we call you
Joan, the Groan.
---
You gorge your face
With greasy meats and sweets,
While we all mourn
The puppies you beat.
---
Where, oh where
Could my bunny be?
First, on Joan's grill
And then rotting in her belly.
---
When, oh when
Will the horrors end?
Hey Joan, ***sticking up middle finger***....
SIT -N- SPIN!

For a handsome player.
But she was so ugly

  Stinky Mary went to the mill
To fetch some poor dog for breeding.
The dog was worn out
  From all the litters she's had.
For that, Stinky gave her a beating.
---
Back to the mill, Stinky went.
"I want a good dog for all the money I spent!"
"Gimmie a young dog," Stinky did shout,
As she scratched her @$$ and picked her snout.
---
On their way home,
The dog made Stinky mad.
So Stinky beat her
For being so "bad".
---
Once they were home,
Stinky threw her in a crate.
The dog tried to get out,
But she couldn't escape.
---
"Where's my dinner!?!?!?!," Kim did yell.
Stinky told him to go to hell.
She went online to harass everyone,
And once she was finished, the dog was gone.
---
Stinky looked for the dog,
But all she found was Kim
Sitting on the couch
With a full belly and an evil grin.

And her fat @$$ busted the concrete.
As Stinky Mary tried to help her up,
Groanie Joanie nibbled on her feet.
---
Snotty Tiffy grew so jealous,
Because Groanie wouldn't share Stinky's toe-jam.
So, to shut the bitch up, in Tiffy's mouth,
A rescued easter bunny Groanie did cram.

Eats her meals with a silage fork
Every time she takes a dump
Has to have the septic pumped.

And gave a rescue forty whacks
And so as not to be out done
She gave the puppy forty-one.

Cynthia, Cynthia, trashy and impure
loves a crunchy man all the more,
all day long he smokes his dope,
as she sits and loses all hope.
Maybe one day he'll go out to play,
and she will get herself a new lay....
 
Sweet and clean, the man of her dreams
and upon her cheek, he regularly creams.
Tall, and handsome, white and pure,
he shove "old chocolate" out the door.

  There was one a bitch named Lynn
who's tongue hung to her chin.
She was starved and sick,
even tried to chold old hubby's (offending word deleted).
 
Then one bright day
to the AR group's dismay
she creeped to the butcher shop
and there the spittle began to drop!!
 
She spent her government funds
on some big steaks and seasame buns.
Quickly she ran back to her house
and cooked them up for her cheating louse.
 
After he ate his big dinner,
and poor Lynn looked all the thinner,
Stephen called up his lady love
and toward the door gave Lynn a shove.
 
After exchanging words or lust,
Stephen left Lynn's @$$ in the dust,
and off to the woman he chose,
he left Lynn crying and blowing her nose.
 
He spent a night with a real body.
And, BOY, what a 'hottie',
unlike tht bitch he loathed at home,
THIS WOMAN HAD MEAT ON HER BONES!!!

I don't chain my dogs out, but they DO sometimes come outside with me when I am out. You are making a total @$$ out of yourself. But then again, you've been doing that for the past two years day in and day out. Now, you promised. Bring your fat dierrere to MD. Looks like you're wimping out tubs.

the anger of the typical racist person of this day and age who realizes
that times are ever changing for the better and there's nothing that you
racist dim-wits can do about it! HAHAHAHAHA!  We are moving forward,
Joanie Groanie, into a time when there will be no pure race. It's
coming, you moronic bigot! But you just go on ahead and stay in your
little dream world with the rest of those prejudice bubbleheads over
there in KKK land; wallow in your misery with that fat, lazy,
good-for-nothing you dare to call husband; and, in the meantime, I'll be
here in the real world basking in the pleasure of knowing that you're
such an irritated little worm cuz you know you can't get to me and
enjoying my sexy @$$ fit -n- trim husband who has buldging muscles and
flat abs cuz he doesn't soak up the couch all day every day like that
jello loaf you're married to. Please do continue to display your
jealousy and unhappiness, Joan, as it never ceases to both entertain and
amuze. LMAO!!!!!!!

I have been asked to send this out all over the internet. I posted this to a few groups and got a huge response!! Please share as you see fit. This is about a visit to PetLand in South Point, OH on Nov. 1, 2006....
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
I was on my way to WV to do some computer work for my dad and decided to stop and kill some time and stretch my legs. Well, instead of going to the WalMart close by, I figured I'd go take a look inside the PetLand I spotted close by.....
 
Well, I walked in to a very small but tidy store, crammed with all sorts of pet supplies and cages and tanks to sell the new pet owners. I made my way back to the animals along the back wall of the store. Oh, the puppies they had there were just too numerous to even try to name all the breeds--I do recall Peke, Pug, Dachsie, English Springer Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel, Greyhound, JRT, Poodles, Mini Schnauzer and Chihuahuas. There were many more too, even a French Bulldog!!
 
As I made my way down the length of the puppy display, simply disgusted by the diahrreah the pups had, some were even lethargic, others were acting like they had been given a stimulant as they bounced all over their cage, I hear a young man "May I help you with the Puppies?"  I turned to look at this fresh-faced kid, and shook my head, "No, not with THESE puppies."  He came closer and said "We have the finest selection of pups around this area and they are all from excellent breeders from the Mid-West." I paused a second, "Oh, is that so??"  "We have our pups vet checked and do not accept them unless they are in perfect health", this young man boasted. I said "Really? So what is this stuff I keep seeing linking PetLand and Puppy Mills all over the internet?" He pauses a second to think, "Must be a rumor, we get our dogs from private breeders who take pride in their litters." 
 
At this point I was ready to just smack this kid for being stupid and gullible. I nearly died laughing at this crap too but it was too sad to be laughed off.
 
"So, are your pups AKC registered or what?", I asked with honest sincerity. "Oh, our boss does not think AKC is the highest standard of the breeds so he prefers to take only CKC, ACA and a couple other registeries. As you can see, we have excellent pups here", this young man goes on with his sales pitch.
 
At this point, I had heard enough trash talk and that was when I let him have the WHOLE story on these pups and their origins.
 
"Do you honestly expect me to believe that AKC is the 'lowgrade' registery? Let me introduce myself before I continue. My name is Joanie Stambaugh, from McDermott, OH, and I am a dog rescuer specializing in small seniors,  PUPPY MILL Dogs and special needs dogs. My rescue is Joanie's Lil Senior K9 Sanctuary and Placement and I currently have 4 Mill dogs in my house that came from some of those illustrious Mid-Western Breeders you speak so highly of. Let me tell you, if you have NOT seen a mill dog, I can tell you all about them. I have had them come in to me with NO social skills at all, matted so badly you couldn't tell one end from the other, so sick they could barely stand, no teeth or lower jaws from the lack of proper care and the females being bred so much that their little bodies re-absorb their  jaw-bone in order to have calcium for milk. Oh, I can tell you about a friend of mine in NE who gets them and some have their faces broken up from being kicked and brutally beaten by those wonderful breeders you speak so highly of. I can go right on with a list of things that would make you want to vomit but I know EXACTLY where these pups were born--Puppy Mills in the Mid-West!!! If you decide you want to learn more about those hell-holes, I will be more than happy to introduce you to my poor Mill Survivors and show you website after website with pics of these places and the ACTUAL conditions these pups came out of."
 
This kid is soooo convinced of the good work these Millers do that he tells me that their pups are the best in the country. They are genetically sound and have NO health problems. He even says they were made to watch a video on the horrors of a real puppy mill but it wasn't so bad..... I could have went through the roof!!
 
I stood there a second and then looked him in the eye...."Have you seen these places yourself? Have you seen the actual dogs that come out of those mills? What they send you here are the cleaned up versions of the mill dogs. I recommend a site for you, NoPuppyMills.com or better yet, go to the HSUS or PETA sites and type in Puppy Mills for a list of sites and info on these "doggy concentration camps" and have a look for yourself. Also, all of the puppy purchasers who have paid anywhere from $600 to $1500 for a pup from PetLand and then spent thousands more to save the dog's life, tell them how sound and healthy their pups were too. I have seen the reports, read their statements and in NO way do I condone selling of Puppy Mill Pups to the unsuspecting public."  At this point, the kid is so blown away by the info he is hearing that he asks me if I am for real. My response--You better believe it!!
 
At that point, I decided I had said more than enough. This kid had a look on his face that said plenty. I paused before heading out the door, "If you think I am joking, please do check out the info on those sites I mentioned or Google Puppy Mills and see what you find..... Oh, and see, I was right, you can't help me with THOSE pups....."
 
This happened Nov. 1, 2006 in South Point, OH at PetLand.
 
Yours in rescue,
Joanie Stambaugh
McDermott, OH

Animal "rescuer" acquires a dog and makes up sad abuse lie about previous owner to make herself look good, and gets ill-gotten glory and pats on the back for it.

Today at the Flea Market, there was this skanky young couple walking around leading this little guy. He is an unaltered older Pug boy. Anyway, they were trying to sell him for $50. I felt sorry for the dog and stopped them and offered him a treat, which I carry in my pocket for those customers who bring their pets out shopping too. Anyway, you could hear his guts growling before you got to him and he was starved. This boy didn't want to leave because he was so hungry and wanted more to eat. Well, the more I messed with him, the more convinced I was that he was blind or at least partially. Well, he is pretty much blind, he sees shadows. The lady transporter, Teresa, does some evaluations for Scioto, Pike and Adams Pounds and she checked his vision, did the same things I had, and she looked at his eyes. Yep--he is blind!!
 
He is as sweet as he can be and loves everyone he meets. There is a chance that he may have a home in the near future, after he is neutered and given his shots, with Teresa's friend who recently lost her Pug. If he can get a loving home, then I have done my job.

Re: My new friend, Elmo
good for you for taking him from them.  512 Re: [Slammers_R_Us]

Re: My new friend, Elmo
He is super-sweet and just a great little dog. They bring in dogs often and I think I am going to let the OH SPCA in on this one and see if they can find out...

The "I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY" Chain Letter

There's so much wrong with this that I don't even know where to begin.

It's a chain letter story which has been circulating since at least as far back as Nov. 17, 2008, when it first slobbered all over my screen. So this dog has been sitting in the kennel and "rescuing" the same woman every day, since then, for as many times as this story has been forwarded.

It's supposedly from the point of view of a homeless dog, who believes he has "rescued" a human simply by existing ever so sadly until she comes along to take him home.

Talk about anthropomorphism to the hilt. Not nearly enough detail was written to explain whether this dog is supposed to come from a pound or a breeder, (a favorite target for abuse by animal rescuers) but it seems to be a bid to put animal "rescue" back into a really phony altruistic light.

So...this dog "knew" this human needed help, and didn't want to show her he had a bad sad past, but was only concerned for her future - uh, this is a dog we're talking about, right?

Oh well, I guess my pets have "rescued" me too, many times.

They could've left everything out but the bare details of the human looking into the kennels and needing to get a pet, and the human/animal contact and affection, the tears in the woman's eyes at the joy of getting a pet, without all that other doggy-feely nonsense.

On a more serious note, the story appears to be touting "Adopt an animal from the SPCA! or "Rescue a dog from a bad kennel and boost his self-esteem!"

Let's get this straight, animals are not little fur people. They may show preference for one person over another, but please, a dog isn't going to wish to spare the feelings of the pound workers or try to hide his supposedly sad sad past from his new owner so she won't cry any more. A dog is not going to be concerned with his own future let alone that of any other being on this earth. A dog is an animal.

Warning, sickly soppy chain letter animal story below, read at your own risk. You may laugh at how pathetic it is, or you may get sucked in and cry over what you perceive as the dog's altruism, depending on which side of the common sense fence you're on.

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.

I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someones life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate
for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.
So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.
