"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man." Saint Francis of Assisi Did you know that most expurrts say that if we do not take care of the environment, we are doomed! Doomed seems like such a harsh word doesn't it? But if we destroy our home (which is what the earth is) what will happen to us or future generations? A famous quote by a Native American Indian says that when all the amimal on the earth are gone, mankind will die of loneliness. It has also been shown that children who hurt animal at a young age are very likely to grow up and abuse their spouses or babies. What can you do?

When people ask you what the ribbon is for tell them.

Some according to the book "Animal Kind" written by Cleveland Amory are backed by hunting groups. If you can get a copy of the book at the local library please read it. It was written in the seventies, but unfortunately not much has improve for our animal friends. In Canada there is the St. Francis Animal Rescue Mission aka ANIMAL RESCUE MISSIONS OF CANADA. I have adopted a kitty, who will live there forever because they DO NOT KILL any creatures in their Mission. I sent ten dollars a month for Susie's upkeep and they send me a picture and a letter telling me about her and her story. They need help, they have many furbabies that are adopted out to good homes, but some are not adoptable and they care for them for the remainer of their natural lives, and this cost money. Here is the address if any Canadian kitties wish to help: Animal Rescue Missions (ARM) 773 Warden Avenue Scarborough, Ontario Canada M1L 4C2 Also in Canada is the INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR ANIMAL WELFARE.
