I also, though I wasn't going to bring it up, am a bit irked at her choice of cause celebre.Part of me feels bad, objecting to saving the cute puppies and kitties. But you know what? A LOT of people save puppies and kitties. Because it doesn't take much to save them; some time, a towel in the corner, and chow. What are is the shelter going to do with a thousand bucks; buy ten years' worth of kibble?
Again, I'm a pet-lover, I adopt mistreated and abused dogs rather than sweet pedigree puppies. (Two times out of three.) But I'd wish it'd been another cause. An abused and battered womens' shelter, or heck, the hurricane victims.
Sorry, I'm not coming across very clear, and possibly unnecessarily nit-picky and self-righteous. It's only because it's late and I'm about to turn in. My original point was: word.
