MARY L.	Sunday, 10:04 AM Joanna D. Brownie needs a home 5:23 AM Dear Friends I'm forwarding a message - I have no idea where the dog is but the message moved me so much... Message from Brownie I am a 7-8 old year handsome boxer, My mom was put into a home with Alzheimer’s about a year ago and my dad needs to be with her but he won’t leave me, he refuses to until I find a home or foster family. You see my mom is about 90 years old and dad. well he is a trooper at 92 years old. I want to help my mom and dad by pleading for someone to give me a loving home. My aunts and uncles all say they “don’t need another dog”, so they can’t help. Please help this may be their last Christmas together; If you can help by fostering me or giving me a lifetime loving home please contact dogs@classysassypaws.com Oh yeah I will be completely vetted, up to date on all my vaccinations, neutered and micro chipped.

MARY L.	November 21, 2009 9:56 AM “Urgent! Please help. Cats & Dogs getting killed by Poison on a very cruel way!” Urgent! Please help. Cats & Dogs getting killed by Poison on a very cruel way! Target: Government of Egypt Sponsored by: Isabel Breidebach Background (Preamble): Hurghada is a growing tourist town at the Red Sea in Egypt. The city has a lot of stray dogs and cats. The government and private people try to get red of them by dropping toxic baits on the street. This is very cruel for the animals an very dangerous for humans as well. Hurghadas boarder is on three sides desert and on one side we have got the sea. The problem is easily to get under control by sterilisation and castration of this animals. Poisoning them makes the problem worse. This procedure doesnt cause the minimizing of stray dogs and cats. It is pushing this problem to the top as it is proved in worldwide examinations. This decrease of animals is causing more stray puppies or kittens for the next born generation because of increasing the food for the animals that survive. The problem will be double within one year and sterilization and castration is the only possibility to get red of this problem futurewise. The financial costs therefore havent to be carried by the government. There are enough volunteer organizations that are offering this service for free. It just needs the approbation of the government. Dear Signers, I wanna reach with your help and support that the governor of Hurghada will agree to stop the poisoning of stray dogs and cats by using toxic baits. This baits are very cruel for the animals, and a very high risk for the citizens as well. Strychnin or even a stronger poison is used for this toxic baits on the streets! Methomyl pure is declared as an insect poison but it is a contact poison as well and often used in pure form or a mix for this baits. We feel this is a invasion of privacy for us, our children and our private pets. The people dont feel safe to leave their houses and to know there can be toxic baits containing Strychnin or even more toxic ingredients everywhere on the street. Poison is easy to get with underhand deals. This is like an invitation for terroristic activities as well. [ send green star] [ accepted]

MARY L.	November 10, 2009 9:04 AM Spain prepares for cruel bullfighting eventDear mary Every year in mid November the people in Medinaceli, Spain, gather to "enjoy" an event of unspeakable cruelty. For the "Toro Júbilo" balls of "pitch", a sticky substance derived from petroleum or plants, are attached to both of the bull’s horns and set on fire. A cheering crowd of blood sports enthusiasts harasses the toro de fuego or “bull on fire” once it is released onto the streets. The balls burn for hours and hurt the horns, body and eyes, causing terrible suffering. In some instances bulls ran against walls in a desperate attempt to escape the unimaginable pain and suffering. Click here to email the Spanish authorities and urge them to stop the Toro Júbilo. This event takes place this weekend. We need your support to stop it. Help us to make bullfighting history! Many thanks. [ send green star] [ accepted]

They do such great work for the street dogs in Bulgaria. They do not deserve to be outlawed by a few petty minded locals. Please sign in support of their work.
