I have been pondering and I am perplexed.
Perplexed about some of this new information, perplexed as to why this whole fiasco has turned into an enormous Battle of the Egos, perplexed as to how and why so much time, money, and effort could be wasted tearing things and people and lives and infrastructures down — [...]

Srsly – WTF? [UPDATE 3]

srsly-wtf-update-3

There is already an ugly rumor floating around that if the former owners of the Tiger Ranch cats do not claim them at the Clarion Shelter by WEDNESDAY, they will be euthanized.

by Megan Drake
Listen up Philadelphians; forget the politics, forget the personalities and for that matter forget the popularity contests. When it comes to saving voiceless animals we ALL need to put our collective skills, abilities, efforts, money, time, blood, sweet and tears into a cohesive attempt [...]

Valley News Dispatch: LTTE regarding Tiger Ranch

Dear PSPCA…
You have taller buildings but shorter hold times before euthanasia.
You have wider doorways but narrower viewpoints.
You spend more.
You have more degrees but less sense.
You have more employees but less judgement.
You have more experts but more problems.
You have multiplied your [...]
