        <description><![CDATA[&quot;Take care of people first, then worry about the animals.&quot; You take care of them if you're so concerned about them. I have no kids by choice. Why should I take care of your kids? I didn't chose to make them. You did. Talk with some of these people living on welfare. Many don't want a way out. Their kids even know and understand how to work the system by the time they are teenagers making their own babies. So let's just keep on enabling them. Let's face it sex feels good for everybody, but be accountable and take precautions because if you mess up I ain't raising your kids for you. Talk about a guilt trip. Both kids and animals are innocent. Thank GOD there are people to defend one or the other or both.So as far as I'm concerned, my priorities are sooooooo straight.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[If you personally know of 100 children in your local area in need my question to you is...What are you doing about it? Are you just a sideliner who likes to complain? Put your money where your mouth is because you are either part of the problem or part of the solution and the best part is you even get to chose which side your on. People by the way make choices about their lives and the children they chose to bring into the world. Animals don't get the benefit of making choices like humans do. The problem too is no one wants to be accountable. Not even for themselves anymore. Our society enables victims. You know people like you and what you wrote makes excuses to enable people to be victims but not of their choices though. Don't you know it's my fault or your fault they had more children then they could afford. Maybe we should spay/neuter people too.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ghandi's prophetic statement, &quot;The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated,&quot; was our companion while we developed the concept of DogsInDanger. Ever ask yourself why one can watch a hundred soldiers get shot in a war movie, but be emotionally stricken when seeing those same soldiers shoot a small puppy in that same film? We call them our &quot;best friends&quot;, we put them in places we call &quot;shelters&quot;, then we kill them and call it &quot;putting them to sleep&quot;. Our actions speak volumes of our society and our species - in essence &quot;do evil, recognize the evil, pretend good&quot; works for us, keeps us a functioning entity...going to work, raising our children, taking care of our parents etc, etc. With DogsInDanger.com our goals were twofold, 1) save these wonderful creatures, and 2) shine a mirror on ourselves. In that reflection, I believe exists the path to our advancement as a civilization, redemption as a species and understanding as a thinking being. When one looks into the eyes of a dog on our memorial wall, what we feel will tell more about ourselves than about the dead dog. That moment I hope will become a moral compass, as it did for me, in whichever direction it points. The dogs that died yesterday in our shelters, without a sound nor whisper, now have a voice through DogsInDanger.com, asking us to question, ponder and maybe act.Alex AliksanyanPresident, The Buddy Fundalex@thebuddyfund.orgwww.dogsindanger.com]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&gt;&quot;............................... .........&amp;#9658;I think there are many PEOPLE out there that should be spey/neutered!&quot;I agree wholeheartedly! STARTING with spaying and neutering the ones who've been writing all those completely UNbalanced laws you have in Michigan and states like it!Like I've stated in other posts in this thread, ALL existing life is important! NOT only segments of it. All existing life is interwoven. Upset the balance of Our Interwoven Web of Life and we get what we're seeing happen to Mother Earth at this very moment. Global Warming, Pre-mature Extinctions, Wars for Oil by Homo Sapiens, the whole gamut! Other than Natural &quot;disasters&quot; Homo Sapiens is the ONLY Species on this Planet that's Hell-bent upon DESTROYING it!!! Homo Sapiens are the only ones $#!++ing in their OWN BED!!!And you call animals &quot;stupid&quot;. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Perhaps the euthanasia of animals and how well the public tolerates it is simply a test for the next step in the care of humans. Far fetched? Why? I wouldn't put anything past the people who pull the strings. So many follow like sheep and accept what they're handed because it keeps their TV on and beer flowing. Bread and Circuses. Worked for the Romans and our society is not that much different.I'm against killing any animal simply for expediency. There's simply no excuse for mankind's poor track record with animals.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It is to the point in Michigan that we care more about stupid animals than we do about people.If the DNR ( Department of Natural Resources ) SUSPECTS that you have a poached deer in your freezer, they can walk in and take it, and you, away.  If a COP SUSPECTS that you have a dismembered corps in your freezer, they have to get a search warrant, stating what they are looking for and where they will be looking.If you get caught poaching, the DNR will take ALL the gear you have with you, including your vehicle.If you get caught in a crime against &quot;only&quot; a human, after you get released, you get everything back (except for a firearm).I think there are many PEOPLE out there that should be spey/neutered!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ONE person can NOT save the WHOLE World!What ONE person can do is pick A part of it (albeit small) and work on THAT! You have chosen Breast Cancer. Tony has chosen Abused/Neglected Children. I have chosen Animal Related Causes. We ALL fit together in this Web of Life.The Native Americans view the World as ONE Being that is interwoven. (Yes, I've studied them and their Ideologies extensively and am still learning.) I agree, wholeheartedly, with that view! That said, we are a UNIFIED World of individuals... the politics and religion(s) of Homo Sapiens put ASIDE!...animals and plants included that make up this interwoven Web of Life. We each have our Place and Purpose in this World.This is why at least three of us here have each exposed our own chosen &quot;fight&quot; and fight it in our own ways within the scope of each of our abilities.  In doing so we all win just a tiny bit even if we don't SEE it! E.G.: Helping Tony with ideas he may be able to use to further his chosen &quot;fight&quot;.In these forums and message boards and other social networks we all can exchange ideas that may help the next one fight their chosen &quot;battle&quot;. Another i.e. is the URL you've posted in your Profile here. It's all GOOD! ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[You are HELPING these kids ...and YOU are the ones being treated like CRIMINALS???THAT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG!!! ...One one hand I can see (TO A POINT ) them not wanting these kids put in the home of someone with a KNOWN criminal record, etc. BUT to put y'all through all of THAT and let their parents off with what amounts to simple slaps on their wrists??? ...... THAT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG!!! I hope and pray for you and your family (extended included) that you can find the strength and courage to keep up your fight! IF the news media actually does run into privacy issues (once this guy IS in jail, he HAS no more privacy!  ) maybe you can get them on that then.   OR maybe try to get some direct contact with grass roots level politcos all the way UP, if you have to, to call this situation to their attention. It would be extremely helpful if you could get your community involved so as to take some of the strain off of you, personally. Politicos find it quite EASY to IGNORE just one person, but if they get an agry mob with some SIZE coming their way they have to, at LEAST, look in that direction to see what's coming at them before they continue to chew their cud, $$$grazing$$$ as they go. It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. I just hope that you can squeak long enough to get that grease before you are forced to fall off! What the &quot;State&quot; needs to understand is that not only are they doing an injustice to all the kids they're effectively ignoring is that injustices are being made to those, like yourself that have the balls that you do, that step in and DO something YOURSELVES about the problems of the abused kids.I gotta agree, this whole situation of yours is completely INSANE!!!!!EDITED to correct my usual [u/]...ptoys...TYPOS!... and also to add this:The Animal Website that started this thread is doing its job as well as another. It's helping animals and now may be instrumental in helping abused children as well.There is a CLUE, here! If someone can get the attention of the very real plight of DOGS with a website like that, then why can't the same be done with situations like yours???At very MINIMUM, you or someone in your community upon your behalf, could conceivably, at LEAST, start a Group in Yahoo Groups, hi5.com and/or other social networks to get 'A' ball rolling. Once that ball is rolling and picking up steam then y'all could possibly take the bit in your teeth and RUN with it. ...Just like that website about the dogs!  Only YOUR run will be to even more citizens of your state as well as others in states with a similar disinterest and then to the Whale$ in Political Office! ]]></description>
