HAH! I got here on schedule for ONCE!
Put your thinking caps on. Money is no object...you are going to throw a party. Why, and who? Elaborate as much or as little as you like, but why and who are a must!
This is easy! Forward thinking individuals in the Legislative, Judicial and Executive branches of our government have gotten off of their collective fannies and passed (and are rigorously enforcing) sweeping reforms in the area of animal welfare. Even livestock destined for human consumption, etc, must now be treated humanely, and companion animals are now considered "family members" when it comes to vet malpractice, divorces, abuse and/or neglect, and all other areas concerning their happiness. Our beloved pets are worth MORE than their "retail value" in the eyes of the law. Owning a mill, whether kitten, puppy, rat, mouse, or bird (or any other ones I'm not familiar with) is now a felony. Pet shops feature rescues. Ferals and strays are considered community assets, rather than vermin, and are protected. Other countries are jumping on the bandwagon and following suit in DROVES! That's my WHY! And OH, what a "why" it is!
And, since money is no object, I'm going to invite ALL of you to a massive TCS Celebration Party...3 days of meeting and greeting and dancing in the streets! AND I'm covering all transportation and lodging. Meals, of course, are included. There's nothing to think about but how happy we all are that animals are finally getting a fair shake!
Yes, I know some of you are vegetarians and vegans, but let's take this one step at a time! It would be a REALLY good start!
