[PyrNet-L] National Animal Interest Alliance

[Kshoffman@aol.com]

In light of the recent discussion and debate on rescue/breeding, I heartily 
recommend that everyone take a few minutes here and there to read some of the 
information presented at this web site:

<A HREF="http://www.naiaonline.org/">NAIA: Home Page</A> 
http://www.naiaonline.org/getthefacts.htm

From the home page, one particular link of interest (to start with) is 
entitled "Get the Facts".  There are several articles listed by category 
here, including a section of articles on rescue:

<A HREF="http://www.naiaonline.org/getthefacts.htm">NAIA: Get the Facts!</A> 
http://www.naiaonline.org/getthefacts.htm

There is a lot of food for thought here. Whatever contribution one chooses to 
make to ensure the longterm health and welfare of animals, please take the 
time to review some of this material to at least gain a broad and 
well-balanced perspective of the whole issue.  Please don't settle for a 
one-sided or skewed viewpoint that does not have a basis in fact.

We all need to be working together towards this common interest and concern, 
not bickering and arguing amongst ourselves.  I don't see how that can be 
effectively accomplished without gaining a very thorough and all-encompassing 
understanding of all aspects and perspectives of this societal problem as 
regards the health and welfare of animals, companion animals especially.

Thank you for your consideration,
