Wolf Hybrids Need your Help

To my family and friends: As most of you know, I volunteer at the Dancing Brooke Lodge, a non-profit rescue for wolf hybrids.  DBL offers wolf-dogs a safe, secure and natural environment to live their lives at. Currently we have 43 beautiful wolf-dogs. We are under court order to vacate our current home by Sept. 1, 2007. As you might imagine, we have had a very busy summer fundraising, searching for appropriate land, finding financing, etc.  To date we have held many fundraisers,  and we have begged, borrowed and sold to raise money to get the wolf-dogs their "forever" home. The co-founders of DBL have even used their retirement money as a down payment on the land.  This would be land that would house our current 43, and many more over time. The land that was decided upon is the top of a small mountain in NH.  Negotiations were moving along, financing looked promising, and we were all getting ready for the daunting task of moving the clan.
However, as often happens in business transactions, little problems came up, and much time passed as we strived to correct everything.  When we still had not received word from the mortgage company by the end of the business day today, we began to get really scared.  You see, in that court order to vacate, if we have not found a new home for the wolf-dogs by Sept.1, then they will be put down, KILLED!!!!!  These beautiful, trusting animals shouldn't have their lives ended because of mans' red tape.
 
We have 14 days to get them a home and so I am personally asking you, as my friends, to help. So many things happen in today's world that make us feel helpless because there is not much we can do about them.  Here is a way you can actually reach out and help this story to have a happy ending. I am asking you to donate money to save these lives, as much or as little as you can afford.   Please see the web site for ways to donate money and other help. The web site is  www.dancingbrookelodge.org . I am also asking you to forward this email to every person you have ever sent email to, and anyone else you can think of.  As this letter makes its way to people who don't know me, I want to guarantee to you that I am a real person, and the wolf-dogs are  real, and in danger.  Please help us to help them. Just think, if everyone who cares about animals could donate even a small amount of money, this will  work.  (100% of all donations go directly to the wolf-dogs.)  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Also, please join us at our My Space page which is www.myspace.com/dancingbrookelodgeinc . Thank you all for your help.

"April  urges everyone to read this and please act upon it by contacting the legislators listed.  IT  IS VERY IMPORTANT"
 If this gets defeated it will set a precident to stop the over vaccination.  If it goes through it will also set a president, one that will very detrimental to our beloved pets. The number of people who respond to this will make a huge difference in the health and well being of all our animal companions.

Pet Food Recall This web site has some really good info on what is happening with trying to get the pet food industry to comply with standards for labeling. Just today
there was news of pet foods being recalled in South Africa because animals there are dying from the same thing. Guess where the food came from!!
April
This came from the jstsayno2vacs list and is from Christie Keith's web site:
"If you're not watching it, you NEED to read the blog Christie Keith is
trying to transcribe as the hearing progresses. Senator Durbin and
Senator Byrd have actually put the screws to some of the people on the
panel! Go read!

I know many of us were pretty cynical that this would be all for show, but there have been some REALLY good points made - points on safety, on labeling, on inspections, on the FDA's mess, and definitely some calling out on the industry."

Alternative Medicine and Healing Threatened

There is a crisis in health freedom. On April 30, 2007 the FDA will close the public comment period on a "Guidance" which will classify every alternative practice as medicine so that only licensed physicians can carry out the procedure AND vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc., will suddenly become "untested drugs" which will be forbidden.

Bad? Real Bad! But public outcry can stop this assault on your health and your freedom.

Spread the word! Tell everyone in your Circle of Influence, professionals, alternative practitioners, nutrient and herb companies, everyone! Let them know how important their participation is to make sure the FDA backs off from this repressive course.

Please share this link with them and urge them to take action: http://tinyurl.com/2u7ghc

Disputed Pesticide to Stay in Stores, This chemical is used to kill fleas in flea collars, when fumigating people's homes and in pest strips to hang in the home. It's also used in the production of mushrooms and in facilities that store peanuts and pistachios. It's related to WWII-era nerve agents (I had been told in the past that it is in fact nerve gas left over from that period.) The government is still saying that it is fine to put this on our dogs and cats, on our food and in our houses.

Dichlorvos is a known carcinogen in California but the federal EPA will allow it to be sold under new restrictions.

NO to Pet Vax Bills S02164/A14253 NY

Urgent action is needed. The New York Legislature has introduced misguided bills -- S02164 and A14253 -- which would require boarding kennels and grooming facilities to obtain proof of ANNUAL VACCINATION "against distemper, hepatitis, para influenza, leptospirosis, parvo and bordetella during the previous year" for dogs and "against feline viral rhinotracheitis, feline calicivirus, or feline panleuopenia within the past year" for cats engaging their services. (Click http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/menugetf.cgi, insert S02164 in the box at the top after "Bill No.", click "2006" and check the "text" box to read the text of the bill.)

If these bills pass, companion animals in New York will be required by law to be overvaccinated in order to board or groom their animals. Please e-mail the NY legislators and urge them to vote against this irrational legislation.
