This Poor Endangered Creature's Story Has So Moved Me I Am Going To Donate .....

to her rescue fund. She's elderly now I'd like to think she could have a few decent years left of her life. Be nice if I could persuade others to help her:-)

What an interesting charity, Lb....I've read a little now and will look at more of the work they do.....something that I have a bee in my bonnet about.

I will certainly donate and not just for this cause...the work they do seems so very worthwhile....x

Yes I'll be in that one too, thanks for posting it LB, ..it makes me so angry when I see the way animals are brutalised like this, mans inhumanity to animals is beyond comprehension !!

Thank you so much gness and seekeerz. I notice the charity is registered in the USA but not registered with the Charity Commission in the UK. Nevertheless it does seem to do some marvellous work. It has some high profile supporters as well: the wonderful Brian May, Paul and Stella McCartney, Brian Blessed, Ricky Gervais, Julie Christie, Benjamin Zephaniah, Joanna Lumley and lots more including Annette Crosbie (y?) who works with the Greyhound people. I shall be very interested to hear how Cholita's life changes for the better now. Bless her and other abused creatures.
