Judy,

I just wanted to let you know that I support you 100%. I know all about rescue and know first hand how difficult and frustrating it can be! I applaud you and your efforts and I admire your strength and determination. Years ago when I worked with the Vancouver Humane Society, it was well known by all of us that you never ever deal with the SPCA. We never sent an animal to them or used their Veterinary services etc. For so long now, the truth has been covered up and now thanks to AAS it has been revealed! I thank you for the message board as well, it takes a lot of work to run and maintain it I am sure. To this day I simply do not understand how trying to alleviate animal suffering meets with so much confrontation. How can people just turn a blind eye on the truth? And why does it seem so hopeless sometimes? I can truly say that it is so amazing to see all of the animal rights groups and rescue groups out there, things have really changed over the last 10 years and with people like you and the AAS they will be changing for the better even more! Education has been and always will be the best way to end the suffering and help make the necessary changes to protect the animals! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your hard work!
