I too got the HUA email this morning and wept when I read the stories of these little ones. Although there are some enormous efforts taken by HUA and other organizations, our city, county, state and federal governments seem to want to avoid taking necessary action to make some signifigant changes.

I'm still ticked at the State of Illinois for completely capitualating to the *Pet Friendly* license plate issue. So take the words *Pet Friendly* off if you must but don't stopped offering these specialty plates which would provide $23 each year for each plate for animal welfare organizations. And this is something that requires little or no effort whatsoever.
