Re: OT: US military killing dogs in Iraq/please read!!!!
please first contact bonnie at the www.militarymascots.org website. organizations like hers really advise against such action as it only leads to more operations like vector control I believe it is called--and more dogs and cats are killed in roundups with such reasons as rabies, etc given. A case like this would be different is it was stateside but this happened way out of the public's eye and away from constant monitoring. yes it was horrible but you don't want a backlash where some brass says, just get rid of all the damn mutts already so there's no publicity period. - Original Message - From: BONNIE J KALMBACH [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 4:18 AM Subject: Re: OT: US military killing dogs in Iraq I would pass it on to anyone who loves animals.

Re: OT: US military killing dogs in Iraq (real action you can take that can help and not cause any harm)
If you REALLY want to help animals being killed by this war, sign up to foster a military pet here: http://www.operationnoblefoster.org/ The AMERICAN cats and dogs of soldiers who are being deployed over seas have no where to go but to be dumped or sent tolocal animal shelters who are already over-run by animals, and so,many of them are being killed. These are American pets, healthy, loved, and wanted, but who, because of this war, have been forced to be dumped by the enlisted men and women who own them. If more people would foster them, that would immediately saveTHOUSANDS of lives that have been effected by this war, right here in our own country!!! I firmly believe in saving the Iraqi dogs and cats, but it seems hypocritical for us to be going after people for not saving those animals when we haven't even saved the ones in our own country yet! This is one of the reasons WHY the Iraqi people hate us so much, because we go over there and try to tell them how to live, and control their country, but we don't even hold ourselves responsible for the same issue happening right here at home! I'm not trying to turn this into a political debate, but really, do we even have the right to complain when we can't even save our own animals here?! Think about it, and then go sign up at http://www.operationnoblefoster.org/!

Re: OT: US military killing dogs in Iraq (real action you can take that can help and not cause any harm)
I agree about fostering military animals. But, this is not a case of us criticising how "they" treat "their" animals.American soldiers were shooting"their" animals. There's nothing very hypocritical about it. It's pretty forthright, cruel, and hateful. Those kinds of behaviors are not going to win much support for America from anyone. I just don't understand why if someone is going to act in such a despicable way they videotape it for prosperity? I've received a lot of email and read a lot about the military pets. It is an awful situation and I know that there are many, many soldiers serving our countrywho have lost a pet through no fault of their own. But I have heardtoo that it's a pretty common occurrence in military townsthat soldiers(and their families)just turn in what they have whenever they get restationed and get something new when they move, and then turn around and do the same thing again.The warwith Iraq then turned the problem into an all out disaster.I support our soldiers in their work, but in regard to animals, I'm surethere are responsible and irresponsible pet owners in the military just as there are in every walk of society. t[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you REALLY want to help animals being killed by this war, sign up to foster a military pet here: http://www.operationnoblefoster.org/ The AMERICAN cats and dogs of soldiers who are being deployed over seas have no where to go but to be dumped or sent tolocal animal shelters who are already over-run by animals, and so,many of them are being killed.

Re: OT: US military killing dogs in Iraq
if you go to the military mascots page and read the stories about some of the mascots, it's even more heartbreaking when some military brass then vetoes an animal being shipped stateside when the necessary money has been raised. it costs big bucks to bring an animal back-the vet bills, transport, etc--and remember the military is not paid big bucks. barbara - Original Message - From: Cherie A Gabbert To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 11:41 AM Subject: Re: OT: US military killing dogs in Iraq I am sick and weeping for those dogs.BONNIE J KALMBACH [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://usmilitarykillsdogs.allsupportgroup.info/www.elephants.com Have a purrfect day Cherie
