Hi Anne I love your work and have just read what you wrote about an email, I know how you feel as have had similar sent to me, and so I feel useless because like you would not watch or read them as would be too upset. So I don't think there is much we can do as the person(s) who find these things to send around presumably are doing something to try and help? (well they should be) And I'm not sure how these emails work because how do you know that the original sender will get the message complete with all signitures back? Would they do better go to authorities or am I being very naive here? Any way sounds like your doing a good job raising money for charities well done.
Thank you so much - nice to know I have admirers :)
Well I think a lot of these atrocities are carried out in countries where the authorities couldn't care less. Even in supposedly civilised nations the most dreadful things are apparently condoned by society. For example there was a story in my local paper very recently of a dog brutally stabbed to death because it tried to jump on to the sofa next to its mistress and her boyfriend didn't want it to. This man was given a suspended jail sentence and ordered to do community service. Frankly I am speechless at this. Yes I do feel powerless, but have the very slight consolation that by belonging to Art Helping Animals and selling paintings with donations to charity, I am at least able to help albeit in a small way. We need people though to buy our paintings so we can continue helping so I would like to thank all those who do.
Hi me again.
Yes thought that would be the case (that no one in those countries care less, hence thought I was being naive) well in that case if I were the person starting the emails I might go to the press and talk to charities ect who can help and so get it 'out in the open' not just in emails which I don't think can do allot.
Again there would no dout be allot of problems in doing what I have just said but what can be done?
I don't know, just a thought.
I think you're probably right and we need to push the press to do more and we need to support the charities involved in helping. From my point of view, I really don't think I will be able to open any more of these emails. Still days later I cannot get the words and the images conjured up by them out of my mind.
Me again.
I know it's auful I don't open them either and only last night watching TV heard an other story involving puppies being used to import drugs by oporating on them putting bags of drugs in them and waiting for the fur to grow back and they were only caught because one of them died and was x-rayed, I can't stand it.
And think I will leave it at that now.
*********!!!!
I really can't publish the words I would like to use.
Yes, I think we should leave it now as it's something we could go on about forever.
Many thanks for your interest.
