Go to the publishing website www.almadenbooks.com and contact them requesting permission to send these pages to the head of animal control in your area. My thought is that maybe, just maybe, the flower might read 15 short pages and [dare I hope?] want to read the rest of the book. Yes, it's a long shot..... Cyndi, you're the greatest. Don't get discouraged. Great things happen when you least expect it. PS: Alternate plan: buy the flower a R/T ticket to Long Island so he can visit North Shore Animal League. Surely the people there will be delighted to give him the tour. I’m away from home and my Winograd book, so I can’t carry out my own suggestion:

This is a long time coming. Think of our shelter director as the Katherine Harris of shelter directors-this is all about ego for her and her personal agenda. like i said we have great dysfunction in our county and it wasn't until i read nathans book did i understand. I thought it was just us down here. Sp please feel free to email Commissioner Burt and tell him to just read the first fifty pages. One could do that in a few days in the bathroom if they do not want to take time out from the schedule. we have a wonderful group opposing this ordinance made up of rescue, hobby breeders, veterinarians and pet owners and wonderful cat people-all people that love their pets and understand the issues and are willing to help. so we have this shelter director who wants to a martyr. She cherry picked every mean and nasty thing she could do. She told half truths and when we pointed those out they commissioners (except for one ) got mad that we were picking on their staff. This woman has no business running a shelter-she rescued seagulls. This is no way to pull a community together. It is divisive, punitive, sexist and racists. so feel free to email burt-maybe he'll read the the first 50 pages thanks you guys and thanks nancy. life gets really incredible sometimes you are guys are great.

You rock. Someone bought a hundred copies of this book from my Amazon store -- I don't know who, but I assume it was for this purpose, to send to lawmakers. The least they could do, I guess, is READ THE DAMN THING. Even the first chapter. Anything. I'm a dreamer, aren't I? Hey, Cyndi? You rock.

We have commissioner named Bob Kanjian who has taken the time to actually learn the issues. He has spent over 100 hours doresereach and listening. Just so YOU understand what we asking for: we are asking for an INDEPENDENT task force of experts. We would to bring Nathan here but cannot unless out commissioners want him. we want an independent audit of animal control and independent recommendations so we can be an example. this is our shelter director using emotional blackmail the oldest trick in the book and if don't want what she wants we can leave. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/mplayer/m/57029 I have to go to work and will write more later.
