Thank you Micki - your opinion means a great deal to me. My frustration is in personal agendas. Isn't it about the animals - I don't care if I am reduced to picking up dog s***. Isn't it better than allowing a dog or cat to languish in their own feces. If I was an animal owner and threw a dog or cat in a kennel for 24-7 wouldn't I be up on animal cruelty charges?
