I'm just... sick. Absolutely sick.
I posted a link on my FB profile just a short while ago ( http://spcalapresident.blogspot.com/2011/03/military-families-forced-to-leave-pets.html ). As a summary, apparently, military families in Japan are being offered the opportunity to flee the country as long as they leave their pets behind... to be euthanized.
I... I'm literally sick from this. How can we call ourselves human and ask this of people? How? I thought there were lows to which we could not sink. I was clearly wrong.
Anyway, the link that I posted is to the blog of the spcaLA president, Madeline Bernstein, who very eloquently expressed her own horror with the situation and provided a link to contact the White House ( http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact ) so that all others could do the same. I took advantage of that to write a letter to President Obama in the hopes that it will find its way to someone who can do something about this situation. Please... please do the same.
For those of you who need or want inspiration... here's my letter from before I had to prune it to fit the required 2500 characters. Read it. Share it with whoever you want. Send one of your own. If enough of us raise an outcry, maybe they'll do something about this lunacy before its too late.
( Read my letter to President Obama... then please write your own. )
