This is the third-largest conbtract animal testing company in the world. Every day, an average of 500 animals die whilst being forced to inhale or ingest disinfectants, tanning lotions, toxic chemicals, coffee sweeteners, diet pills, weedkillers and much more. Video footage has been taken of employees violently shaking and punching a four month old beagle and dissecting a conscious monkey. An estimated 12800 animals died in the testing of the artificial sweetener Splenda alone. We cannot ignore this. We cannot turn away as if nothing is happening. We cannot let this continue. It is our responsibility to speak out against this barbaric injustice. Every living thing is entitled to do just that - live. Being kept in a cage at Huntington Life Sciences until the experiments kill you is no life. It is Hell.

An interesting fact from their website, please consider referring to this in your correspondence:
"Annual trade between the three states (NY, NJ and Connecticut) and Canada has soared to almost $50 billion (U.S.). That's up almost 300 per cent over a 12-year period and would, if this region were a country, be enough to make it Canada's second-largest trading partner."

ANIMALS inspire LOVE. ANIMALS ARE PURE LOVE I implore everyone to offer to the Universe but "A Moment In Time"; a moment of synchronous, silent, yet united reflection of prayer and meditation for those souls who love so unconditionally, and ask for nothing in return. For those souls who are truly the masters of spiritual evolution, yet suffer so universally, and with such torment, by the hands of the human animal. And, for those souls who have passed and have finally found eternal peace. Let us, all together, harness the powerful energies that we all possess to change the tide for the "Innocents" forever. It only calls for: "A Moment in Time". Marijo Anne Gillis WAG NEW YORK FOR THE ANIMALS

The following petition (which ws started by Nicole) was forwarded on to several people in Care2 and I am forwarding it on to you! If you could sign only one other petition ever again, this is the one to choose. Its mission is :
"to stop the killing of adoptable animals in shelters. We are asking that every county in every state stop euthanizing adoptable animals in shelters. Every day there are thousands of animals that are dragged into gas chambers, stuck with heart sticks or euthanized by lethal injection. There are approximately 5 million dogs and puppies and many more millions of cats and kittens that are needlessly put to death every year in this country alone. America needs new and relatively obvious laws-- such as laws making it mandatory to spay and neuter every adopted pet and outlawing puppy mill breeding. These two changes would drastically reduce the huge numbers of animals being taken in to the shelters annually. Most people care deeply for their pets and for animals in general, but they are unaware of how many are put to death--some by horrifically inhumane means every day. Please sign this petition to end the currently legal and inhumane killing of these loving animals--they are counting on us to save them! Thank you for caring and signing this petition."
So you see what an undertaking she is asking us to take on. But what a glorious feeling we will have when the impossible is achieved! And we can do it! It takes effort by everyone, to contact not just their friends, but their friends of friends! And anybody not even associated with Care2. This grassroots effort could really give us the miracle these animals need. Thank you for caring.
In 1990, an estimated 12 million animals were being euthanized in shelters across the country. Today, that number is 3.7 million. That’s a fraction of what it was, but there are still far too many pets being destroyed each year. The only way to stop 3.7 million needless deaths is to stop overpopulation, and the only way to stop pet overpopulation is through spay/neuter.
If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem. In the time it has taken you to read this, 60-70 dogs and cats have been killed and trashed. Don't let your animals contribute to this American tragedy. SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR DOGS AND CATS Every year in the United States, millions of dogs and cats are killed in our Animal Shelters because there simply are too many of them and not enough homes. If your cat or dog is having litters of puppies or kittens and you think you're finding all of them permanent and loving homes, think again. Statistics show that when puppies and kittens leave your home and grow into young, and even healthy, adult animals, they are discarded by the millions along our roads, in our streets or they are surrendered to local animal shelters, where the vast majority of them are killed by lethal injection. And then they are trashed. Like yesterdays garbage.
Day after day.. each one the same,another year older a little more lame left out in the weather with little protection my body is sore and hot with infection in the freezing cold or the searing heat with nothing but wire beneath swollen feet my food bowl is empty my water dish dry What did I do?? please tell me, why? the litters come and the litters go where do they take them? I don't know... is this a bad joke? or a horrible game? I have no home not even a name no one to love me no one to care no one to bathe me and brush my hair my teeth are rotting my eyes are encrusted where are the people to whom I'm entrusted? I cry every night... so afraid, don't you see? could this be the life God intended for me? someone, speak for me I am losing my will take me out of this hell called a Puppymill.....

I looked at the people trying to see anyone I know.
The people looked at me and started to bid. I wished I wasn't here, just wish that I'd hid.
Then off from the back of the room I did see. The face of an angel looking right straight at me.
The angel raised her arm and began to shout. I'll take her myself, I'll pay that amount.
Then I was carried away to a cage one last time. I'd tried to be good and committed no crime.
The cages were opened and dogs left that place. When my cage was opened I saw the angels face.
She picked me up and held me even though I smelled bad. I knew by her voice the angel wasn't mad.
Then off to this place that I now call home. By her side I will stay and never more roam.
I must have been blessed some time long ago. Because when she holds me tight I just seem to glow.
I often times think about my life long ago. Rescue people are really angels you
They save us from places called puppymills you see. I pray all my brothers and sisters will someday be free.

I am the voice of the voiceless: Through me, the dumb shall speak; Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear The cry of the wordless weak. From street, from cage, and from kennel, From jungle and stall, the wail Of my tortured kin proclaims the sin Of the mighty against the frail.
For love is the true religion, And love is the law sublime; And all that is wrought, where love is not, Will die at the touch of time. And Science, the great Revealer, Must flame his torch at the Source; And keep it bright, with that holy light Or his feet shall fail on the course.
For he who would trample kindness And mercy into the dust-- He has missed the trail, and his quest will fail: He is not the guide to trust. Oh shame on the mothers of mortals Who have not stopped to teach Of the sorrow that lies in dear, dumb eyes, The sorrow that has no speech.
Oh, never a brute in the forest, And never a snake in the fen, Or ravening bird, starvation stirred, Has hunted his prey like men. For hunger, and fear, and passion Alone drive beasts to slay, But wonderful man, the crown of the Plan, Tortures, and kills, for play.
He goes well fed from his table; He kisses his child and wife; Then he haunts a wood, till he orphans a brood, Or robs a deer of its life. He aims at a speck in the azure; Winged love, that has flown at a call; It reels down to die, and he lets it lie; His pleasure was seeing it fall.
The same force formed the sparrow That fashioned Man, the King; The God of the Whole gave a spark of soul To each furred and feathered thing. And I am my brother's keeper, And I will fight his fight, And speak the word for beast and bird, Till the world shall set things right.

My Philosophy
“This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed.” -D.H. Lawrence
What Gives Me Hope
"Some day, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides, and gravity, we shall harness the energies of love.... Then, for the second time in the history of the world, humanity will have discovered fire". --Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
