Thanks for noting.

And sorry about the troll.

Care2 Staff:

What does Mexico has to do in this post, when I am trying to HELP the dogs in Texas?

Off topic comments should be flagged and removed when everybody can see the troll is attacking the poster.
Thank You!

Monday July 20, 2009, 10:23 pm
On topic, Bill, on topic. This is about Texas. You wanna talk about Mexico, start your own news and talk all you want. Most people have learned to ignore you, but at least you'll be able to talk and talk and not be stepping on other people's news and toes.

Noted Tere. And thank you for bringing this to everyones attention.

As for those that continue to troll this members submitted articles, and bring issues not related to the article, along with links to articles that were posted "Two years old", and "NOT" related to this article, why donyou spend your time doing something productive that actually helps animals in need, and stop the personal character assasination? It is inappropriate and ill conceived that you actually make a leap of an actual connection in issues that are two years old.

Tere... I am posting the following quotes on aniamls and compassion as the link between humans and animals. Perhaps people just fail to grasp the link because they are so used to destroying those living creatures when they have lost all compassion for anything anymore. Peoples crass, and self justification of cruelty is a hollow projection of ones own disregard for others as a way to heal themselves. If one can make the reach and have compassion for all living things then perhaps they can actually comprehend that we share this planet with other living creatures, and they are not here to be used to justify our own existence.

Wherever it is found, it is a certain mark of ignorance and meanness; a mark which all the external advantages of wealth, splendour, and nobility, cannot obliterate. It is consistent neither with learning nor true civility." ~ William Jones, English Philologist and Jurist

"Many people have learned through relating to animals what it is to care for and accept responsibility for another being." ~ Richard H. Pitcairn, American Veterinarian, Pet Nutritionist and Author

"It seems to me of great importance to teach children respect for life. Towards this end, experiments on living animals in classrooms should be stopped. To encourage cruelty in the name of science can only destroy the finer emotions of affection and sympathy, and breed an unfeeling callousness in the young towards suffering in all living creatures." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady of the United States of America

"The brute animals have all the same sensations of pain as human beings, and consequently endure as much pain when their body is hurt; but in their case the cruelty of torment is greater, because they have no mind to bear them up against their sufferings, and no hope to look forward to when enduring the last extreme pain..." ~ Thomas Chalmers, Scottish Religious Leader

"First they went after the Communists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Communist. Then they went after the homosexuals and infirm, and I did not stand up, because I was neither. Then they went after the Jews, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Jew. Then they went after the Catholics, and I did not stand up, because I was Protestant. Finally, they went after me, and there was no one left to stand up for me." ~ Martin Neimoller, German Pastor who spent 8½ years in a Nazi concentration camp

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ~ Mahatma Gandhi, Indian Statesman and Philosopher

"Of all the creatures, man is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he's the one that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot." ~ Mark Twain, American Novelist

"You have to love animals for what they are or leave them alone. The best thing you can do if you love them is leave them alone and see that other people do too." ~ Pat Derby (1942- )

"What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected." ~ Chief Seattle American Indian Duwamish Tribe

"True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it." ~ Milan Kundera, Czech Novelist

"Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is...whether its victim is human or animal...we cannot expect things to be much better in this world...We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity." ~ Rachel Carson, American Biologist and Novelist

"We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace." ~ Albert Schweitzer, Alsatian Theologian, Musician, and Medical Missionary

"The man who kills the animals today is the man who kills the people who get in his way tomorrow." ~ Dr. Diane Fossey, Woman in the Mists (Dr. Fossey was killed by someone who killed animals yesterday.)

"The quiet conscience is the invention of the devil. No one of us may permit any preventable pain to be inflicted even though the responsibility for that pain is not ours. No one may shut his eyes and think that the pain which is therefore not visible, is nonexistent." ~ Albert Schweitzer, Alsatian Theologian, Musician, and Medical Missionary

"You cannot do a kindness too soon, because you never know how soon it will be too late." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Essayist and Philosopher

"It is as if life had said, 'I am going to send you into a world of cruelty. I shall make you sensitive to pain, fear, heat, cold, hunger and starvation. In this world of cruelty, I shall make you defenseless. In addition, I shall strike you dumb.' This is the kind of world that animals are born into." ~ Grace Johnson, Animal Activist

"All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action." ~ James Russell Lowell, American Poet and Essayist

"Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The roots of cruelty, therefore, are not so much strong as widespread. But the time will come when inhumanity protected by custom and thoughtlessness will succumb before humanity championed by thought. Let us work that this time may come." ~ Albert Schweitzer, Alsatian Theologian, Musician, and Medical Missionary

"To close your eyes will not ease another's pain." ~ Chinese Proverb

"The most solid comfort one can fall back upon is the thought that the business of one's life is to help in some small way to reduce the sum of ignorance, degradation, and misery on this earth." ~ George Eliot, Female English Novelist (Mary Ann Evans)

"These birds and animals and fish cannot speak, but they can suffer, and our God who created them, knows their sufferings, and will hold him who causes them to suffer unnecessarily to answer for it. It is a sin against their Creator." ~ George Q. Cannon, Animal Activist

"Cruelty to dumb animals is one of the distinguishing vices of the lowest and basest of the people - wherever it is found, it is a certain mark of ignorance and meanness." ~ Jones of Nayland

"It is totally unconscionable to subject defenseless animals to mutilation and death, just so a company can be the first to market a new shade of nail polish or a new, improved laundry detergent...It's cruel, it's brutal, it's inhumane, and most people don't want it." ~ Abigail 'Dear Abby' Van Buren Testifying before the House Judiciary Committee in support of the Consumer Products Safe Testing Act, March 1988

"The Animals of the planet are in desperate peril and they are fully aware of this. No less than human beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are seeking sanctuary." ~ Alice Walker, "Selected Writings," Living by the Word

"Love of animals is a universal impulse, a common ground on which all of us may meet. By loving and understanding animals, perhaps we humans shall come to understand each other." ~ Louis J. Camuti, D.V.M., First American vet to devote his practice exclusively to cats

"I abhor vivisection. It should at least be curbed. Better, it should be abolished. I know of no achievement through vivisection, no scientific discovery, that could not have been obtained without such barbarism and cruelty. The whole thing is evil." ~ Dr. Charles Mayo, Founder of the Mayo Clinic

"Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." ~ Elie Wiesel, Romanian-American Writer

"If a good relation with God makes people good and benevolent in their relation with animals, for its part, benevolence toward animals could awaken in man's heart feelings of admiration and praise for the grandiose work of the Creator of the Universe." ~ Marie Hendrickx, Theologian of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

"Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way." ~ John Muir, Environmentalist

"While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?" ~ George Bernard Shaw, Irish Playwright and Critic

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them [other animals] for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the sense we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of earth." ~ Henry Beston, The Outermost House

"The more that people live with animals, the more they know how precious they are and what they do to enhance our lives." ~ Doris Day, Actress, Animal Activist
"All that breathes is precious. Who is to say that the suffering of an animal is less worthy of solace than the pain of man? The spark of life is no dimmer simply because it is encased in fur or leather." ~ Anonymous

Tuesday July 21, 2009, 5:18 am
I agree with Darren,Bill.Why must you always attack,and go off the subject???? Do we see you trying to make a difference for the GOOD? NO!!!! Bill,the only thing I have to say to you is if you dont like what you see,read somewhere else. Thank you very much Tere,noted,signed and I will pass on.

Tuesday July 21, 2009, 8:02 am
Once again, harassing figures appear. Ignore it Tere.......and thanks for helping the animals in TX. Gas chambers are horrible.........even the worst criminals (human form) are treated humanely when put to death......why must an animal suffer such a horrific death when his/her only crime was being born!? Saddens me beyond belief.

Tuesday July 21, 2009, 8:53 am
I don't take sides with nobody ..But Bill where does this news have anything to do with Mexico in it this is about what they are doing in Texas and this is a simple question to answer if they do what you have in reply then post it as news and let people see it or read about it.But this has nothing to do with Mexico this time this has to do with Texas i'm not trying to be rude but just stating how i read and seen it and heard where it was at ..I don't believe in animal killings they have feelings to as we do if a animal is sick or harmful to anyone them they should be put to sleep the right way not the wy they torture them dogs and those ffor who has hand in on stuff like that in the end you will be punished by God for doing it..Have a good day everyone....

Tuesday July 21, 2009, 9:40 am
Bill C. Why don't you just go away and get a life of your own. Start posting your own news stories, and then you can sit and rant and rave about them till the cows come home. Then you can go off topic as much as you like - it is your news story then.

You are blatantly harrasing a member of Care2. There is a solid thread of evidence running through all of Teresa's posts with your name in CAPITAL letters on all of them. And in none of your comments have you ever thanked this tireless worker for the animals for her caring, for the time she puts in. In every country in the world there is a huge amount of animal suffering. No one's backyard is clean; WE ALL KNOW THIS! We also know that we are here to change the world for all the animals, not just those in our own backyard.

Because my backyard is not 'clean' does not mean I cannot sweep the backyard of my neighbour via a news story. And if someone brings Texas to our notice - it is about Texas only. If someone brings Mexico to our notice it is about Mexico only - this is doubly important on a news thread - unlike group postings.

I am going to flag your comments - they don't belong here. In truth - run your own group where you can sprout off about anything on and off topic as much as you like.

You are not behaving like a gentleman at all - in fact your behaviour is so bad that on most other forums on the net you would have been booted out ages ago.

GO AWAY BILL - go smell the roses, and while you are smelling the roses, say a prayer of blessing to all of us here at Care2 who try our dammdest every day to make a difference to some animal's life. We don't have time to sit here and hack away at our keyboards just attacking other care2 members, trolling their every story! Jeezzz, get a life!

If you are lonely and want attention and love and respect, then rather write to someone here at Care2 whom you trust, explain your emotions and get some feedback. It sounds as if you are extremely lonely and very angry at the world. Anyone who spends their life online trolling another member of care2 needs some serious friendship. You can write me if you need a friend - I'm always willing to listen.

Tuesday July 21, 2009, 9:44 am
THIS IS MY FLAG COMMENT
=======================
This story has nothing to do with Mexico. Bill C. trolls around Care2 following each and every post made by Teresa, and then he spends hours bad mouthing any and all of her efforts, and in many posts goes so far as to directly insult her! Why is this man still allowed to be a member of Care2? So many good people have left because he made their online lives here a living hell!

How come Care2 allows this kind of behaviour? It is completely contra to your code of conduct! Please do us all a favour. Ban him for a few months/weeks. Perhaps he will find another outlet for his venom somewhere else on the net, and leave us good people alone, so we can get on with what we do best - saving the lives of animals!

Tuesday July 21, 2009, 11:17 am
Thanks my friends so VERY much, it´s tired to deal with stalkers, because that´s what this man is.

You said it all Eureka in your report. Many people have left because of this troll.

I can´t concentrate in a good cause because this man is everywhere, I ignore him most of the times. But there is a point were enough is enough. He thinks he has a power that make him untouchable, when Care2 Staff ask us to flag the annoying comments and don´t answer. He takes advantage of Care2´s good heart but I think he has crossed the line with so many members lately that his luck is going to change.

I can ignore him as I said, most of the times, but I have noticed, the more I ignore him the more he harass me. So that´s not working at all.

He wants my attention for unknown reasons and he hangs of me for having the attention he doesn´t receive when he post a news noted by 10 people only, he neeeds professional help. Because I don´t recall doing nothing to this individual in the past when he started harassing me with no reason at all, of course in the begining I defended myself, then I ignored him and nothing worked....time for this man to get a life.

He wants my notes "REMOVED" because he want to be off topic, he and his pals work in that way.

But that is not going o happen, because we know that and the staff knows that. Also the staff knows I ignore him and flag him in silence MILLION TIMES. But I repeat, it only makes this man more agressive.

Now, back to subject, I am glad to inform you that we have 737
signatures! and I will not stop because of this words that the person that created this petition wrote:

Sponsored by: Denise Rinker.My goal is to stop the practice of euthanasia by gassing for ALL shelter animals in the state of Texas.

If your heart will allow it, you should do a search, for video on the web, that shows the results of being gassed to death. It is heartwrenching to watch.
Some of the larger animals are still alive, when they come out of the kill box. They are still breathing, or struggleing to breath. The animals, cry, scream out loud and claw and climb on top of each other trying to get out.
It is Horrific to watch.
For any and all of us to stand by and NOT try to do SOMETHING to stop this barbaric practice is appalling.

Often, animals who are put down are lost pets, and were not claimed before their mandatory hold period expired. This happens for many reasons - pets get lost while their owners are on vacation, on business trips, etc. Sometimes pets have traveled so far from home that their owners aren't even searching in the right shelters.
Many pets escape the yard. Some are strays and some, the owner can no longer care for in this economy and are owner surrender, or abandoned on forclosed property.
Must these pets die in this awful fashion because their owners did not retrieve them? Or because they were not adopted from the shelter? Would you want your pet to die that way?
In todays current situation, more and more pet owners, are turning their dogs into the shelter, or turning them loose to be picked up as strays.
Convicted murderers are put to death by lethal injection, but not our faithful companions. How does that really speak of us?




Even though a majority of the shelters in the state use euthanasia by injection, several still use outdated, inhumane gas chambers. Shelter workers overwhelmingly wish to hold and comfort a frightened animal in its final moments of life. That act may be the only kindness the animal has ever known.


The American Humane Association considers euthanasia by injection to be the only acceptable and humane means of euthanasia for animals in animal shelters. The do NOT think gassing is an acceptable means.

Such outdated practices also create public outcry and demean the purpose of an animal shelter.
Space is so limited in Texas shelters that animals don't have much time. Many shelters are currently overflowing...but that is another petition.

"even though the responsibility for that pain is not ours".....I am not from Texas but I am not going to shut my eyes...I just do what I have to do and that is not closing my eyes when I see an unfair thing...if a bad thing is there, even it´s not my country or my person who is affected or who is abused....then I will do something about it. FOR SURE.

Thanks for doing something my friends.
