| Monday, March 05, 2007 the "Humane Society of the United States" The keys here are the "" (quotation) marks. I don't even think they are a United States government entity. Well they fooled me, and I'm sure many others as well. Humane Society of the United States Despite the words “humane society” on its letterhead, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not affiliated with your local animal shelter. Despite the omnipresent dogs and cats in its fundraising materials, it’s not an organization that runs spay/neuter programs or takes in stray, neglected, and abused pets. And despite the common image of animal protection agencies as cash-strapped organizations dedicated to animal welfare, HSUS has become the wealthiest animal rights organization on earth. |

| Sunday, January 07, 2007 Town regulates cockfighting TO ADDRESS the issues hounding the conduct of cockfights in La Trinidad, the Municipal Council passed an ordinance setting the guidelines for cockpit operators and individuals engaged in cockfighting. The ordinance was passed to regulate cockfighting, establishment, operation and maintenance of cockpit in the town and to address the problems brought out by the activity. Specified under the ordinance are the rules and regulations that cockpit operators should comply with before and during the conduct of cockfights. Councilor Jim Botiwey, who is among the authors of the ordinance, said the measure would serve as guide for cockpit operators and as basis for the local government unit to impose sanctions when there are violations. Among the rules is the strict screening of individuals who would be allowed entry to the cockpit arena. |
