Dear Friend -- With your help, we've made tremendous strides toward ending the cruel Canadian seal hunt. Each spring our fearless ProtectSeals team travels to the ice to document the cruelty for the world to see. The world is outraged and our seafood boycott has resulted in millions of dollars of lost revenue for sealers. This year, we'll continue our fight on several fronts. Today, I wanted to share this message from Paul McCartney with you, and ask for your help in persuading the European Union to save millions of seals from a brutal death.       Wayne PacellePresident & CEOThe Humane Society of the United States   Trouble with links or images? Want to share this email? Use this link:https://community.hsus.org/humane/notice-description.tcl?newsletter_id=19212843   Dear Friend, Like me, you’ve probably seen the horrifying images of helpless baby seals being beaten and shot for their fur. Wounded seals left to suffer in agony. Conscious pups sliced open. And the reason for their pain? So that someone can sell their fur. For so many years, we’ve tried to stop this senseless brutality. Today, you and I have a chance to stop this cruelty forever.   Twenty-five years ago, the European Union made history when it ended its trade in products from newborn harp seals. Commercial seal hunting in some countries came to a virtual standstill, and countless baby seals were saved. But the hunters began to kill the pups when they were slightly older -- and the products from those seals are legally traded in the EU. Today, some commercial seal hunts are twice as large as they were when the EU first took action. But there is new hope for the seals. The EU is considering ending all seal product trade in the European Union, regardless of the age of the seals. This move would save millions of seals from brutal slaughter, and help put a final end to commercial seal hunting globally.   Right now, the EU is asking people around the world to submit their opinions on the historic proposal. Please take a few minutes today to tell the European Union you fully support a ban on seal product trade.   I’m lucky: I was able to visit a harp seal nursery in Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence before the hunters descended. The sight of mothers and their pups on the pristine ice is one I won’t forget, and I’ve committed myself to working to preserve that wondrous spectacle for generations to come.   Commercial seal hunting doesn’t simply cause unimaginable suffering to the seals; it is also dehumanizing and often dangerous work, contributing very little to the incomes of the hunters. A European Union ban on all seal product trade would force nations where seal huting has taken place to invest in real alternatives -- jobs that will provide safe and sustainable futures.   Lets work together to make a better life for seals and people. Say no to the cruel trade in seal products in the European Union. It doesn’t matter where you live -- your voice counts. Please take action to save the seals today.   The deadline for the European Union to hear your views is February 13. Sincerely, Paul McCartney   "Please take a few minutes now to tell the EU you support a ban on seal product trade." —Paul McCartney    ]]> 2008-02-07T23:43:00Z monnie Buzznet hsus http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/2/2/8/5/0/7/1/thumb-2285071.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/2/2/8/5/0/7/1/synd-2285071.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/2/2/8/5/0/7/1/mob-2285071.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/2/2/8/5/0/7/1/gallery-2285071.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/2/2/8/5/0/7/1/large-2285071.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/2/2/8/5/0/7/1/feat-2285071.jpg monnie 0 400 http://www.buzznet.com/groups/hugsforcharities/links/37131001/

As we look back on the past year, we are filled with gratitude for all North Shore Animal League America was able to achieve for our animal friends in need. With the help of committed individuals, the League accomplished so much in 2007. North Shore Animal League America is proud to be the largest no-kill pet rescue and adoption organization in the world. We've accomplished this by remaining true to our mission: saving the lives of unwanted pets in need of food, medical treatment, and a caring touch and placing them in homes where they will be loved and nurtured. Your 2007 tax-deductible gift can do so much for vulnerable animals today and in the coming year: ]]> 2007-12-29T21:35:00Z monnie Buzznet http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/9/2/2/9/5/1/thumb-1922951.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/9/2/2/9/5/1/synd-1922951.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/9/2/2/9/5/1/mob-1922951.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/9/2/2/9/5/1/gallery-1922951.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/9/2/2/9/5/1/large-1922951.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/9/2/2/9/5/1/feat-1922951.jpg monnie 0 200 http://www.buzznet.com/groups/hugsforcharities/journals/32122631/
Snopes says it's reasonably accurate. Subject : Taxes   So how many billion dollars on the war in Iraq? And how much oil would it have produced if we had not gone to war?   This is too true to be very funny   The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.   A billion seconds ago it was 1959.   A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.   A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.   A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.   A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.   While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.   Interesting number, what does it mean?   If you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $515,810.   If you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your home gets $1,328,014.   If you are a family of four, your family gets $2,063,240.   Washington, D.C. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??   Tax his land, Tax his wage, Tax his bed in which he lays. Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes are the rule. Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirts, Tax his work, Tax his dirt. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he tries to think. Tax his booze, Tax his beers, If he cries, Tax his tears. Tax his bills, Tax his gas, Tax his notes, Tax his cash. Tax him good and let him know, That after tax, he has no dough. If he hollers, Tax him more, Tax him until he's good and sore. Tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in which he lays. Put these words upon his tomb, 'Taxes drove me to my doom!' And when he's gone, we won't relax, We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!!   Accounts Receivable Tax Building Permit Tax CDL License Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Dog License Tax Federal Income Tax Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Perm it Tax Gasoline Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax) IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) Liquor Tax Luxury Tax Marriage License Tax Medicare Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service charge taxes Social Security Tax Road Usage Tax (Truckers) Sales Taxes Recreational Vehicle Tax School Tax State Income Tax State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Telephone Federal Excise Tax Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Tax Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax Telephone State and Local Tax Telephone Usage Charge Tax Utility Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Watercraft Registration Tax Well Permit Tax Workers Compensation Tax   STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?   Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.   What happened?  Can you spell ʽpoliticians??ʼ   And I still have to 'press 1' for English. I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times   What the heck happened?????]]> 2007-12-14T00:52:00Z monnie Buzznet http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/icons/journal-thumb.png http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/icons/journal-synd.png http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/icons/journal-mob.png http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/icons/journal-gallery.png http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/icons/journal-large.png http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/icons/journal-feat.png monnie 4 300 http://www.buzznet.com/groups/hugsforcharities/journals/32122441/
Watch this slideshow of our biggest victories for animals -- and help ensure they continue in 2008! Trouble with links or images? Want to share this email? Use this link:https://community.hsus.org/humane/notice-description.tcl?newsletter_id=17641244 Click here to see all the ways your actions helped animals in 2007 -- and help us achieve more victories in 2008! Dear Friend, This morning, disgraced NFL star Michael Vick was sentenced to prison for his role in dogfighting. Vick's sentencing caps a period of stunning changes for animals across a wide range of industries and abuses. Take a minute to celebrate these changes -- watch a slideshow of our biggest victories for animals that we achieved together! Thanks to your actions and support, The Humane Society of the United States saved thousands of animals from the cruelty of animal fighting, built even more worldwide support for our campaign to end Canada's seal hunt, and rescued pets threatened by California's wildfires. Together, we accomplished all this and more. Here are just a few of the extraordinary achievements you and I can savor as 2007 draws to a close: The last two states -- New Mexico and Louisiana -- outlawed cockfighting, and Congress passed a seminal law strengthening penalties for animal fighting. HSUS supporters like you also pressured Nike to drop a multi-million-dollar endorsement deal with Vick after his role in illegal dogfighting was uncovered. Horse slaughter was finally eliminated on U.S. soil when Texas and Illinois shut down the last remaining slaughterhouses in the nation. We rescued animals from natural disasters, providing care for hundreds of pets and farm animals threatened by California's recent wildfires. Some of the worst cruelties of factory farming were stopped when the largest veal and pig producers committed to abandon the use of tiny crates and cages, more companies and consumers switched to cage-free eggs, and Oregon's legislature made history by passing legislation outlawing the use of gestation crates to confine breeding pigs. Many more challenges lie ahead in 2008, and we desperately need your continued commitment to confront animal cruelty in all its forms. After you've watched the slideshow, please consider making a generous year-end, tax-deductible gift to The Humane Society of the United States. Your actions and support have truly made a difference in animals' lives. Thank you for standing with us.

He was too cute to resist.   Born at a puppy mill, Mooch became too sick to live. Watch our undercover video and take action today. Dear Friend, The pet store pup was too cute to resist. Mary bought him and named him "Mooch." Two months later, her new puppy unexpectedly died. Seeking a reason for Mooch’s death, Mary went to the breeding facility where he was born. There, she learned the meaning of the term "puppy mill." Mooch is just one of thousands of puppies being bred at puppy mills in Virginia. No one knew the extent of the puppy mill problem in that state. Until now. A five-month undercover investigation by The Humane Society of the United States has revealed a substantial puppy mill industry in Virginia, one largely unregulated and often in violation of state and federal laws. Watch our undercover video exposing these mills today, and then take action. As both USA Today and "Entertainment Tonight" exposed yesterday, The HSUS found breeding dogs and puppies living in filthy cages, urine-soaked trailers, and ramshackle kennels -- often without basic sanitation, clean water, veterinary care, or even protections from the elements. Like many states, Virginia has no kennel inspection program to ensure that dog breeders meet minimum standards of animal care. Across the state, nearly 1,000 commercial breeders produce dogs with little or no oversight and with few safeguards for the health and well-being of the animals. Some breeders are also breaking federal laws by selling their puppies through pet stores without a USDA license. Others are selling directly to the public through classified ads and the Internet, which make them exempt from any USDA oversight whatsoever. The HSUS is urging the United States Department of Agriculture to investigate unregulated breeders in Virginia. Please watch our exposé of puppy mills in Virginia, and then write to the USDA. Ask them to clamp down on that state’s illegal puppy mills. Thank you for all that you do for dogs and other animals. Sincerely,Wayne PacellePresident & CEOThe Humane Society of the United States P.S. Did you or someone you know buy a puppy you think might have come from a puppy mill? Do you know of a puppy mill in your area? Help us track down puppy mills in your state.
