DO YOU CARE ABOUT ANIMALS? If you do, then let's talk.  You can see from my home page (the pictures of my kitty cats above and references to my affiliations with animal-welfare organizations below) that I care about animals, too.  I desperately need your help.  Animals are being tortured and killed in laboratories throughout the United States.  For example, egregious, heinous violations of the natural rights of monkeys are occurring at the University of Florida.  See the Web site at http://universityofflorida.us .  I have posted some appalling photographs on the Web page at http://faculty.UNG.edu/bfriedman/bfried/AnimalLab/index.html .  Before you click on that link, be aware that these photographs are horrifying to look at--so traumatic that I can't post them on this page.  If they are horrifying to look at, imagine what it is like to experience such terror.  Please don't let this continue.  There is no civilized human being who cannot recognize this incomprehensible savagery as being immoral.  Write to me at bfriedman@UNG.edu .

URGENT

PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS.  Reproduction creates many more animals than there are people to care for them.  Stray animals live lives of hunger, loneliness, and desperation.  PLEASE HELP STOP THIS TRAGEDY.
******
Don't buy a pet.  Adopt a pet.  Save a sweet, loving little cat or dog from being euthanized.
******
Contact your local humane society for more information about these and other topics pertaining to the welfare of animals.
******
In Georgia, for information about discount-priced spay/neuter procedures, visit the Web site of Spay Georgia, from which one may obtain a discount certificate.
