QUOTES
Older,
younger, anyone can help. We've learned that our legislators listen, and people
with passionate and thoughtful concerns make a difference every day. We've had
constituents initiate legislation, lobby for it, organize meetings and events,
and, of course, call, mail, e-mail and visit legislators to express their views.
It's really great to see how much difference that individuals can make.
I
love all the shows that encourage people to love, appreciate and help animals.
There are more programs about animals than ever, and that pleases me.
I
think everything in my life has led to my animal welfare work.
I had been involved in animal welfare groups, but DDAL presented an opportunity
to actually create and pass legislation aimed at issues which really matter to
so many people. From local spaying and neutering ordinances, to legislation against
puppy mills, to standards to prevent animals from being tested for the sake of
a new cosmetic, we could – and did – make a difference.
for
every dollar spent on spaying and neutering now, $17 is saved and can be used
for other community projects. We work with the animals and the people who love
them.
Killing
an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to
do it. A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put
on her back. Then she's truly beautiful.
