"Truth is treason in the empire of lies" Ron Paul
A friend of mine contacted Main Line Animal Rescue to enquire about their campaign in support of the newly-proposed USDA-APHIS regulations. She composed a very thoughtful letter with various well-articulated arguments about the perils of over-regulation:

Why – if you are going after large-scale commercial breeders, are the numbers SO low in the proposed bill? As there is no legal entity of a 'puppy mill", how do you feel justified in using the term for anyone who has more than 4 dogs??? Explain to me just WHERE the next generation of dogs will come from if all breeding is stopped? Also explain, due to the economy, just how you think hobby breeders (who, by the way, do NOT make a profit) are going to be able to afford their breeding programs? Also please explain, IF there are too many animals in our local shelters – then why are they importing from Mexico and other countries? AND – why are they counting feral cats as part of the problem – when they have an important niche in the environmental hierarchy? The feral cats help keep the rat population under control. Remember them? That animal was one of the main reasons many people died in the Middle (aka Dark) Ages – they spread the dreaded Bubonic Plague.
I met a smart young man about 5 years ago who asked me – IF all the dogs and cats are "fixed" so they can't have any puppies or kittens, then just WHERE am I going to get my puppy when I'm old enough???? I didn't have an answer for him. You are against animal abuse – so are all hobby breeders. Yet – you and your "friends" are on the HSUS bandwagon to eliminate ALL breeding. Do you not understand that if there are NO intact dogs – then the outcome will be NO puppies? Do you not comprehend that PETA and HSUS are now essentially the same organization with the same agenda – NO domestic animals and everyone WILL be vegan?

Your email contains many inaccuracies and nonsensical allegations. Please remove me from your email list.
Not signed, with no response to the many well-considered points she politely presented. Not one to back down from Animal Rights nuts with no facts on their side:

Really?? What inaccuracies and nonsensical allegations? All makes total sense to me – but then, I have studied the problem and researched what is happening – rather than blindly swallowing the drivel from the ARses. This so proves what I thought. You're unwilling to think, you totally believe you are experts, and you're unwilling to recognize that maybe YOU are the cause of some or many of our problems. Thank you so much for enlightening me. Don't worry – you are NOT on my email list and I won't be contacting you again. However – I will be letting my friends and anyone else know that you are really a fraud and NOT interested in helping the animals. I do hope you get your jollies and assuage your own egos.
Shame on you

What I'm not interested in doing is wasting my time with your nonsense. If you say or write anything untrue about our organization, be warned, we will contact our attorneys. Please do not respond or contact me again. If you do it will be considered harassment.
Mind you, this is the group that owns the domain name "AdoptDontShop.com"; they aren't exactly open-minded on the issue of the right to keep intact animals and breed them. When confronted with facts and shown the error of their ways, there is not even a perfunctory defense of their malicious and counterproductive actions. Just straight for the jugular….threatening a lawsuit for….telling the TRUTH about them? What a crock of shit.
So, being a great friend, and more than willing to fan the flames of a righteously indignant fire, I volunteered to post the interchange here for all to see.
This group should really be called "Main Line Animal Rights Fanatics"; or perhaps even "Junkies for Tabloid Journalism". They drum up support for their cause through the use of Main Line Melodrama. Remember the Oprah Winfrey show on so-called "puppy mills"? That was produced by Main Line AR Fanatics in conjunction with….you guessed it…none other than Wayne Pacelle himself, the high priest of the cult of the Humane Society of the US. Ritual animal abuse and animal sacrifice are the instruments typically played in their melodramatic performances. MainLiners exposed abusive breeders, but did nothing to turn them in to the local authorities which would have forced them to either clean up their act or shut down. No, it plays a lot better when they have plenty of abused dogs to "rescue". No donations without them!
MainLiners were also involved with the Murder Hollow Bassets raid, where the Animal Control and Rescue Nazis stole her dogs. All cruelty charges against Wendy Willard were eventually dismissed, but in the meantime one of her dogs DIED under the "care" of the SPCA from botch neuter surgery. And, as is typical in all of these animal seizure cases, the dogs were never returned to the owner who was absolved of wrongdoing. She was acquitted but still lost her precious dogs. No true justice was served in this case...particularly not for the dogs who never returned home and who died.
So, see, not necessary to say anything untrue about MLAR, their actions speak for themselves. So SUE ME, Mainliners. I dare ya.

WOHOO you go girls.. Main Line "rescue' is the main support of Bill Smith and his family
ReplyDeletehere is one report about them:
They are radical when it comes to who can adopt their pets, and pets wait for months to get adopted, because they tell YOU who is best for your family.
Started the process in early Nov. and it took us a month to get approved in general, including our yard. We waited for a dog for weeks after that. No word....emailed them....no word....emailed again. IGNORED! Told them it would be great to have this dog by Christmas for my family. Well, guess what, I got a response. Bill Smith wrote back and said he would never give a family a dog for the holidays and promptly DENIED my application.
"Don't bug them......they get nasty! They prey on every word you say.
Horrible experience........I suggest any other rescue, "
bring on the lawyers Bill..
These Mainliners are ignorant and rude. How do they come to have so much power? I despair about democracy when it is so open to power being concentrated and abused just as in any dictatorship.
ReplyDeleteLiz
you will be hearing from my attorney.. TO THANK YOU!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Keep fighting for us!
ReplyDeleteRecently had my adoption application denied because Bill on a dog I was told he personally recommended for me because supposedly he spent an hour driving up and down my street looking for my house (for fence check) and couldn't find it. Funny.. I never received a phone call asking for directions. despite providing them with three ways to contact me. Any reasonable adult would call if they spent an hour on the same street.
