There's never actually going to ever BE an "event," either live or streamed. It's all about gathering the names and email addresses of those who "RSVP." It wouldn't surprise me actually, I used to work in PR and I know that this stuff is gold. And I also know that I've just got to get on that mailing list. One thing I love is crazy spam in the spam box. During the last great FFL astrology "debate" I got my chart re-drawn by some website that gives you a free reading, and then asks for payment to learn more of your future secrets. What I didn't bank on was the amount of spam I'd get for extra readings including one for my dog! I nearly went for that, maybe it had some advice for when to give her biscuits or when to keep her in to avoid the postman's lawsuits. But I'm also convinced there is a good market for things like that because of this girl I knew in the TMO. She had a very elderly and poorly cat and even though I offered to wring its neck she would spend an inordinate amount of money on it including on yagya's! Has the world gone crazy, I wondered, it's bad enough they sell highly expensive prayers to people and claim they are "sophisticated and precise Vedic prescriptions to neutralise forthcoming negative trends" but to claim it might work on animals is insane. The only trend a fifteen year old cat has to look forward to is a miserable death. Nowt so queer as folk, they say. There's no surer way into someone's pocketbook than through their love of a pet. But I am not sure I agree with you that yagyas would be any more or less effective on humans vs animals. For all we know they work on vacuum cleaners and toilet plungers as well.
