New mousetrap is Muttley's oyster
"tiny dancer" wrote in message ... "(the)duckster" wrote in message news:x7Zuj.11699$N95.7645@trnddc03... "tiny dancer" wrote in message ... snipped Complete article at link posted: http://wral.com/news/local/story/2457173/ In a perfect world, I think this is probably a good idea. In reality, at least around here, our various cat support groups are just happy to get one adopted. They don't ask, people don't tell. Everyone holds their breath and hope the animal gets lucky. The encouraging news is that with education and awareness, conditions for animals continue to improve. Kind regards, (the)duckster I posted the article because I thought it was timely. Saw it a couple days ago, and thought it addressed a couple other issues that had arisen here in the recent past. I've never owned a cat, so I really know very little about their containment. We had cats when I was a young girl, and as I recall they pretty much came in and out as they pleased and certainly there was no money for spaying/neutering back then. That was also in the days when the dog went out with the kids in the morning and didn't come back until dusk. Yes, times have changed. I do agree, education and awareness can only bring about positive changes to the lives of animals. And I am happy for it. I currently have three dogs of my own and spend $000's annually for their care and well being. I give to various rescues. In my professional life as a Licensed Realtor, I have things like puppy mill banners and rescue links on my personal website. Without trying to be a "know it all", I preach animal responsibility where and whenever I can, if not as an animal lover then as a reminder that unwanted, abused animals are a taxpayer expense. Although I do wish more funding, at least locally, could be achieved. The state of and conditions at some of the county shelters leaves much to be desired, unfortunately. Our Animal Resource Center is fairly new and actually pretty nice as far as places like that go. But like all shelters they continue to be overburdened with societies castaways. If it's not a pitbull round up, it's a wave of dumps from the latest Disney movie, PBS series or this year's Westminister champ. It'll take about a year, but you can imagine what the beagle rescue people are thinking: breeders who will ramp up for the demand and the subsequent wake when people realize that dog isn't for everyone. Never seems to end... Kind regards, (the)duckster |

: However, taking a glance at posts in a couple of moderated groups, I'm not seeing any headers which say anything about approval. WHat Melinda appears to be talking about is a header that is added to your message when a moderator of a moderated newsgroup approves the message. Most newsreaders hide the majority of the headers that a post has. Take your post for example. The default set of headers that is shown is: Subject: New mousetrap is Muttley's oyster From: "sionnach" Newsgroups: rec.pets.dogs.behavior If I wanted to see all of the headers, I have to change to Raw Text setting, which gives me all of the headers: Path: uni-berlin.de!individual.net!not-for-mail From: "sionnach" Newsgroups: rec.pets.dogs.behavior Subject: New mousetrap is Muttley's oyster Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 20:48:34 -0500 Lines: 16 Message-ID: References: fphfki$f6f$1 @registered.motzarella.org 622v2 fphi64$jnb$1 @registered.motzarella.org X-Trace: individual.net 0c2yrxuMM4F2tvjQHdBdDQMJ4Pz2NzrDplBAcI1xpIW/eQ1tc= Cancel-Lock: sha1:HSDj6OQPDAafxVGFCxiq7TN9zhQ= X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3138 X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.3198 X-RFC2646: Format=Flowed; Original Now if it was a moderated group, it would have another header that started with: Approved: -- Marcel Beaudoin and Moogli |
