I'm for animal rescue programs because I have compassion for animals. Being pro-life doesn't only stop at human beings for me personally.

[Notwithstanding]

I am jaded by a family member's actions.

Her adamant and oft-declared refusal to bear and care for any children is legend - and when she was about 40 she began treating expesnsive stuffed animals as if they were persons.

Then she began adopting dogs.

Then she began "resuing' dogs with severe "mental problems".

Thats when she began paying thousands of dollars on therapy and medicine for the dogs.

Now every spare minute of hers is spent on dogs sports and dog rescue.

And to think what all this energy and effort could have done for children in her community who needed support.
