silverthorneWhy yes, I am appalled by the pictures of cats and dogs crammed into cages, supposedly in China, for the sake of being killed and/or skinned alive for their fur. Yes, the pictures upset me greatly. Yes, I would like to help pass legislation to end such things.
Except, I don't live in China.
and, I don't approve of your 'sophisticated investigations, public education, effective publicity and sustained pressure on all animal abusers'.
Quite frankly, I rank your 'excellent work' on about the same level as Shock Jocks--effective for the reactionary and uneducated, entertaining and or/fucking annoying to listen to for the rest of us, at best, but never to be taken seriously (and in some cases, should be removed from public eye ASAP).
We won't even go into the irony of you trying to 'save' animals' lives in another country, when your kill rate for the ones you 'rescue' in your own country of origin is 90% or better on any given year. These aren't even the ones you fail to save in your various 'campaigns'--they're ones other people willingly handed over to you, and that you intentionally killed rather than investing some of that donation money into caring for them and getting them adopted out.
So yeah, don't think so. If I'm going to give my money to a charity dedicated to the 'saving' of animals, I have several other choices that I can and do go to. I know they, at least, are actually putting at least some of the money toward, you know, saving animals' lives, passing laws, and supporting humane legislation rather than wasting time into shocking the general public into giving them money for, oh, I dunno, red paint and rotted meat to throw on people and giant fucking freezers to store all the dead animals you 'saved' in years past.
Fuck off and die in a fire, and do not ask me for money again.
Sincerely,
One very cheesed off animal lover.
