Sad

Hopkins County, KY has a 79% kill rate and the director of the Hopkins County Humane Society wants to keep it that way.

New Heights of BSL Stupidity

I've heard some pretty wacky BSL laws, but Mashpee, MA is debating enacting one of the worst ideas I've ever heard of: if enacted, the law would require that newborn pups of restricted breeds be turned in for destruction. What kind of madness is this?

Pup My Ride

I posted last week about the most recent Pup My Ride transport, and this week I got to meet two dogs that have come back to BF for medical treatment - Fancy, who has one of the largest hernias I've ever seen in a dog of her size, and Beauty, who is missing her lower jaw. Both are settling in nicely and are very, very sweet! Soon they'll have their medical issues sorted out and they should both get great homes. Fancy reminds me a lot of my Ginger.

You're still getting a ticket

Do my dogs at least get a cookie?

Eyes up, man! Eyes up!

And that experiment was so successful...

Eternal Earth-Bound Pets

You've committed your life to Jesus. You know you're saved. But when the Rapture comes what's to become of your loving pets who are left behind? Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind.

Well, you can't buy it.

Thanks, Stew!

Really?

Springtime!

When we finally get a health care reform bill, I fully expect Congressional Democrats to lead the country in a chorus of "Springtime for Hitler", with special guest star Newt Gingrich as Franz Liebkind.

It's in the bill!

Blue Lion Animal Rescue

I'm finding lots of really cool animal rescues lately, here's another one: Blue Lion Animal Rescue is a 35 acre ranch in Yoder, CO that specializes in rescuing giant breeds (100+ pounds) with "questionable temperaments". The founder's story is also quite inspiring. Definitely on my list of places I need to visit someday - and hey, they take volunteers! I love big cranky dogs.

I do have a weakness for the small rescues that take older animals and animals with special needs... check out Irving House in Long Island, NY.

More Contact Info for Philadelphia Eagles Sponsors

Oddly enough, the Eagles seem to have removed the list of corporate sponsors from their website. Fortunately... teh Google, I haz it. Let's get straight to the festivities using the current information from the Eagles' website. Links go to contact information/form whenever possible.

VERY IMPORTANT: Don't be rude. It's not likely the Eagles consulted their sponsors prior to signing Michael Vick, so this is pain they did not invite upon themselves. Simply let them know, politely but firmly, that you cannot use their products/services while they provide financial backing for the Eagles.

Got additional contact info? Twitter? Let us know in the comments.

First and foremost, don't forget to contact the Philadelphia Eagles themselves.

The American Red Cross (Note: what the hell is the Red Cross doing using donations to sponsor a football team?)
Twitter
UPDATE: The Red Cross has been removed from the Eagles' list of sponsors on their site. However, we have no confirmation from the Red Cross that they have withdrawn sponsorship, so until then... game on.
UPDATE: A spokesman for the Red Cross says that they were listed on the sponsors page by mistake. This would certainly makes sense given that charities don't usually sponsor football teams and god knows there were lots of other mistakes on that Eagles' sponsors page, including links that are downright wrong. So it looks like the Red Cross is off the list. They do have blood drives in conjunction with the Eagles but I do not believe they provide financial support to the Eagles, and I don't see any problem with the Eagles hosting blood drives!

UPDATE: Have found some media sources that list Staples and Canon as sponsors - can anyone provide confirmation of this? I have confirmed that Staples used to but have no confirmation of current sponsorship. Canon's sponsor web page does not list the Eagles.

UPDATE: Twitter Tip!
When using Twitter to contact companies, don't start your tweet with their address, put it a little further in. This way all of your followers see the tweet, which helps more people discover the boycott.

This tweet will be seen just by Pepsi:
@pepsi Please reconsider your support for the Eagles, I will not be buying any Pepsi while you sponsor them.

This tweet will be seen by Pepsi and all of your followers as well:
Hey @pepsi, please reconsider your support for the Eagles, I will not be buying any Pepsi while you sponsor them.

And finally... hug your dogs today. Help some less fortunate ones by volunteering for your local shelter or rescue group (who could probably find a use for any products made by the companies above that you'd like to get out of your house). Please consider donating to groups you respect with the money you won't be spending with Eagles' sponsors!

Okay, next time I'll use sunscreen
