When will our precious animals be able to exist without pain and suffering from the hands of their perpetrators?We must act to impact for better lives for our pets.

Only when we expose Psychiatry Roseann. They are the perpetrators of both human and animal abuse and experimentation.

Done. Thanks Raffi

Thank you for cheating Eureka-I won't tell anyone-;-) and thanks Samantha-and everyone. We have these Class B's going full tilt here in MN and it's really a struggle to stay ahead of them. We try to get as many animals out of the last day for shelter situations as possible and move them into foster. This shelter we have here is helpful with that. It's a real battle to get the law changed on the pound seizure, though.Maybe now that they may sit Al Franken in the Senate we can accomplish something.

Oh this is dispicable. Anything to make a buck don't care how they do it, they just do. At the animals expense. I have never believed in animal research. I feel that it is senseless, they ask for funding from the Government to keep their jobs and 1/2 the time, the experiments have nothing to do with research or they do the same research over again to get the funding. It is a dirty little underground world they live in. What the hell are they mixing up in the labs and drinking. I would like to really know. How is an animal experiment to tell us about people anyway. If that was the case then people would be cured from alot a long time ago. It is to keep a fat paycheck we are all paying for with our tax dollars.

If anyone is interested, I just got linked to this site and it has companies we know well that use animals it is
http://www.aavs.org/shoppingGuide.php. There is a pledge on there too to go cruel free. I hope you all will join me and sign the pledge and check out the companies that are cruel to animals.
