I liked this
Something to really think about.
2 questions
Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who
were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had
syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.
Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here
are the facts about the three candidates. Who would you vote for?
Candidate A.
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist.
He's
had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a
day.
Candidate B.
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in
college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.
Candidate C
He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an
occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be our choice?
Decide first... no peeking, then scroll down for the response.
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.
And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question: If you said
YES, you just killed Beethoven.
Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone.
Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading..
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember: Amateurs...built the ark.
Professionals...built the Titanic
And Finally, can you imagine working for a company that has a little more
than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year...
Can you guess which organization this is?
Give up yet?
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to
keep the rest of us in line.

This link goes to the Yavapai Humane Society website. The Humane Society functions as a non-profit organization that helps to end animal abuse and homelessness. They are considered a no kill animal shelter. They earn their money by holding adoptions and bake sales and such. They have a set up for cat adoptions in PetSmart where I am currently employed so I get to see how their adoptions work. Every Sunday they will also come in and show off there dogs for adoption. I always love seeing the dogs (both old and young) get adopted out into caring, loving, forever homes. The Humane Society's motto is "Every animal counts." I think of how many people over look this or just don't care. It makes me think of how only a few of us are willing to help those lesser than us and how those who to can become outcasts themselves. I give kudos to the Humane Society for sticking up for what is the caring and correct thing to do.

In this article from the Furry Flier they talk about puppy mills, anniversaries, their big events, and, of course, the adoptions. Puppy mills is defiantly a big thing to talk about in the animal rescue world. Puppy mills is how most of the puppies come in to the shelter. A puppy mill is basically where greedy people make dogs breed and have a lot of babies so they can make a ton of money off of them. They also have a lot of big events they have going on in IL. They have events like bake sales and walk-a-thons and their annual Tag days. They are celebrating their 28th annual tag day starting on July 28th. Last they have all of their most touching adoption success stories. My favorite part to read in any adoption magazine. To hear how they can make a difference and give a living being a second chance moves me to the core.

Here is an article from Wikipedia that describes the purpose and different types of animal rescues. It is a very good description and it has even helped me to learn more about rescues so I will be able to run my rescue better. This is a very informative article and goes into a good description of how rescues work and what their purpose is. It talks about no kill shelters and non profits and much more. I believe this is a good article for anyone who wants to know more about any type of animal rescue.

Animal Rescue
When I am finished with my schooling I want to own a no-kill animal rescue. I choose this profession because animals are my passion. I want to be able to help them to get off the street and into safe loving homes. I recently lost my dog who was killed by a speeding truck. I do not want any other animals to meet the same fate and the only way I can think to do that is to keep them off the street. I have had my passion for animals since I was a little kid. I have always enjoyed the company of our dogs and horses growing up and my love for them just never left.
I am planning on getting my degree in business management so that when I do have my animal rescue I will be able to run it efficiently. I want to be able to do everything I can to supply for the animals and keep them healthy, happy, and safe. My shelter will not be like other no-kill shelters though. I will give any pet at least one try instead of turning away the aggressive ones or the sick. The only time I would euthanize is if the animal was too sick or aggressive. I want to make a happier place for the unwanted animals in our world.
