Re: the McKillip horror. I wish I KNEW some good advice for you. I volunteered at a "nonprofit" called Defenders of Animal Rights, Inc. ...also called "Adopt A Pet" that was, at least in the early 90s just aweful, money-grubbing, organization. The owner would destroy dogs and cats while at the same time alluding to being "no kill" shelter. Jim Kovac (owner) would clear the kennels near holidays so he wouldn't have to come in. Cats & kittens were sold claiming they had been tested for FeLV & FIV when in fact they had NOT...infecting several households (FIV) by the way. Animals were NOT destroyed carefully or always humanly, but when we went to the law with PROOF and our affidavits, testimony etc...we were basically told, as long as the animal died then they really didn't have a problem with HOW it was put down. So we picketted for a year and then stepped off. They are prob. STILL bilking old people out of their
wills with the promises to "take care" of any pets left behind.....but hey, the shelter LOOKS beautiful, clean and never full so the general public thinks they are doing a great job.
If you figure out HOW to shut down McKillip, please let me know. (although the video WAS the best idea...that way even if the authorities don't help, you can give it to the news media.....we did that with photos of the abuses at DAR, and put a small crimp in their donations...at least for a while).

That's funny Tamara--actually it was "LMAO" that I meant I didn't get (which Barb then explained), but it now turns out I misunderstoood the orange vest reference --I thought it meant bullet-proof vests. Sounds like everyone in hunting country should be wearing bullet-proof vests! And, looking at the police blotter pages in the newspapers (per a masochistic tendency I have to scare the living daylights out of myself), probably not a bad idea here in Chicago either (I hopped over the pond to your fair country a few years back).Going back to the McKillip "animal hospital" email i sent earlier, all ideas welcome on putting them out of business.Kerry-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: Wisconsin cat hunting: bad and good news!Nah, you're not a "dumb Brit" your just too intellectual to understand it.In the states, hunters often wear orange vests so as not to shoot each other. You see, the hunter is a often a beer guzzling good ol' boy who after consuming enough alcohol to kill a rhino will wander into the woods...or any tree laden area with a loaded weapon and shoot at anything that moves....cars....domestic pets...the occasional tv screen as seen from the window of a family room....each other. The vests are supposed to be orange flags, as it were to alert them that perhaps the verticle moving figure they are lining up in their sites...just might NOT be a deer. Doesn't always work tho...In the states, hunters have been aquitted of killing: just for example: a mother walking her kids to the bus stop....she was wearing a brown coat, white hat and white gloves...the hunter thought the white hat and gloves were the rear end of a deer and plugged her in the forehead infront of a crowd of elementry school children waiting for the bus. It was ruled that because of what she was wearing...the shoot could be deemed justified and the charges were dropped.My parents' 15lb poodle was "mistaken" for a deer, and one idiot even shot at me through the sliding glass doors when I was 12 - but it was my fault you see, I was sitting in my family room watching tv...and...my hair's brown...so it was an honest mistake...luckily he missed me by 1/4".Oh and did I mention that some hunters start as young as 8 & 9 years old. Be thankful for that big "pond" between us and you!T
