RE: Do You Love Dogs? Would You Like To Help Save Some?

in #animals7 years ago

l for one am so glad that you are doing what you're doing, and that you manage to reply to completely unreasonable people with reason and class!


Cheers!I'm from Canada but live in Mexico right now with my husband, @briancourteau. It's so different here, compared to home, how people treat/mistreat their animals. We are constantly buying food to feed other people's pets. There's a couple of 'animal groups' that we are looking to volunteer at because the need is so great. I can totally see in your photos the difference in the poor dog...how can anyone NOT see sadness in an animal's eyes?? And you're right about the percentage of donations from SPCA actually getting to an animal...seems the same for most big charities. So, I am in full support of what you do..upvoted and happy to resteem. Animals are like children; how do you not take care of the helpless?? It's not an option in my books, it's a necessity of being human.

I was replying to you husband and got distracted, so I'll just reply here and you can show it to him, too. LOL

I'm not totally blameless in the whole FB flaming thing. I can be provocative. I did call the realtor out by name, and knew full well how people here in this area would respond to that. I did it anyway, because good grief, you know? Somebody has to take a stand somewhere. But I do get down in the dirt and slug it out with these folks, because the more attention I draw to this issue, the more people in Appalachia I can reach. My rescue gained almost two dozen new FB followers on our page over this ordeal. So to a point, I'm willing to take the abuse. But it's still sad. And it still indicates the social decay in Central Appalachia, that people have their priorities so wrong about so many things, and I really hope at some point we start seeing those realign.
