Keep Their Memories Alive!

This page is dedicated to the abused, lost, and homeless pets in the world. I had intended to use this background for my own departed loved ones. They were very precious, each in their own way! They, however, will be remembered with love and fond memor- ies of the time that I spent with them. The pets listed here are the forgotten or would be forgotten. These are the pets who would be forgotten but for the compassionate souls whose links are available, countless others and you. They are also those whose lives were treated as meaningless by their tormentors. Many of my cats had gone through abuse before I adopted them. None of them were sub- jected to some of the horrors dealt to these helpless babies whose only sin was to be born of a species not human or for that matter, to be born! Warning: I do have a tendancy to rant about this subject and I hope you won't be put off by it! It certainly isn't a tirade against you (far from it!)! If you stick around, you'll find out my reasons!

I had no idea that these senseless tragedies had occurred until I started surfing! Know what? I am furious! With this site, letters & emails, I've made a begin- ning but there's so much more to be done before the government acknowledges the voices of its taxpayers! I'm so ashamed that I didn't jump in sooner! Please don't make the same mistake that I did! A feral colony's tragic story.

Soundtracker's Take It To Your Heart! I've barely scratched the surface with the accounts listed on this page. Soundtracker's heartache page lists many more examples of human barbarity. Dogs starv- ed and used as food for fighting dogs, more feral cat tragedies and abuse of indescribable proportions against other species' are available on this page! Your help would be invaluable if you're willing! I hope you are!

To: Animal Rescue Remember the countless millions of unwanted dogs & cats killed every year!

Why animals? There are a lot of great causes out there that need our support. I choose ani- mals as my main cause for many reasons. For one, animals are innocent. They have no clue as to why their lives have suddenly be- come a living nightmare! In fact, they will never understand! The capacity to rationalize isn't there and never will be. Animals do have feelings that can be hurt just as easily as those of anyone else you know. Don't believe me? Take cats, for in- stance. The emotional region of a cat's brain is identical to ours! I think it's safe to say that they feel just as deeply as we do, espe- cially since they constantly prove this little tidbit! Animals have neither a voice nor a choice! They are entirely at the mercy of their tor- mentors (of lack thereof)! Though things are starting to look a little bit better for their rights, there's still a long way to go! As they can't speak for themselves, they need our help! In most states it is a misdemeanor to deli- berately harm an animal. Why? Heck if I know! It would seem that lawmakers feel that an ani- mal's life is of little importance. I don't and can't agree with that! To me, life is to be respected. Animals kill for survival. Only human beings kill for enjoyment! It seems to me that they have one over on us. Veterinary care is a small price to pay for the uncondi- tional love our pets give in return! Pets are beneficial to those who love them. It's been repeatedly proven that a pet's love and companionship can ease stress, thereby low- ering blood pressure. Of no value? Please! What about your pet? Is he or she the next to be taken for some sadistic human animal's pleasure? Imagine you pet in one of the situa- tions, above! Would you think the perp should be let loose on the unsuspecting public? I love animals anyway but this is the thought that haunted me. What if one of these outrages had happened to one of my cats? If these reasons aren't good enough, how about self preservation? It has been proven re- peatedly that serial killers start by torturing animals. Do the names, Ed Kemper, Jeffery Dah- mer, Peter Kurten and Art Shawcross mean anything to you? These men all started with animal torture and murder before moving on to the human victims. Click here for more information about the con- nection between animal abuse and serial killers! Here's your chance to make a difference! Sign Action Cat's petition to make animal abuse a felony! What if you are strapped for cash? There are still things that you can do! It costs nothing extra to send an email and a stamp to send a letter but there are online petitions as well that only take a little time to fill out! Ok, Ok, end of rant!!! No more browbeating, either! All I ask is that if you haven't al- ready committed yourself to action that you'll at least consider it. It's for their sake as well as your own! Most of all, thanks for putting up with me!

Many thanks, also to Glenda Moore for the wonderful memorial graphics!
