More predators in animal charity than remain in the wild

January 24, 2023 By Merritt Clifton 10 Comments

by Steve Hindi,  founder,  Showing Animals Respect & Kindness Predation,  parasitism,  fraud and outright theft are enormous problems in the animal protection industry that even a 90-day wormer cannot fix. ANIMALS 24-7 in George Santos was a small-timer among animal charity scammers,  and in a wealth of previous exposés,  has unfortunately barely rippled the scum […]

Lessons from Martin Luther King Jr. for animal advocates

January 17, 2023 By Merritt Clifton 9 Comments

by Steve Hindi,  with response from ANIMALS 24-7 For me,  more than 31 years after founding Showing Animals Respect & Kindness,  following extensive frustration in trying to work with national animal advocacy organizations that lacked––and still lack––a work ethic,  the biggest lesson Martin Luther King Jr. taught and exemplified is,  never stop fighting . This,  […]

What animal advocates owe to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

January 16, 2023 By Merritt Clifton 22 Comments

Leading influence on rise of animal rights movement Civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., 1929-1968, in whose honor we celebrate Martin Luther King Day, never had any visible direct involvement with animals or animal issues––but he is justly remembered among the greatest influences on the animal rights movement of our time, and the many […]

Why did the ASPCA pres get $966,004, while we got $9.70 an hour?

January 11, 2023 By Merritt Clifton

We are NOT the ASPCA!!! This is an exposé (and appeal) that Beth & I really did not want to have to write,  but one of our faithful & reliable donors of $8.00 per month persuaded us that we had to –– because donors like her,  for the most part,  are paying not only for […]

The “Thanksgiving” turkey:  object of sentimentality, sarcasm, & sacrifice

November 23, 2022 By Merritt Clifton

Each year a litany of sarcasm accompanies the sentimentality of Thanksgiving by Karen Davis, Ph.D.,  president, United Poultry Concerns   “Nothing so unites us as gathering with one mind to murder someone we hate, unless it is coming together to share in a meal.” – Margaret Visser, The Rituals of Dinner, p. 33.   The […]

November 13, 2022 By Merritt Clifton

Question for ANIMALS 24-7 from a reader:  “Our local animal control agency has proposed a county-wide ordinance to require all veterinarians in the county to report the personal contact information for each person who brings a pet to be vaccinated. “This information is to be used to try to increase licensing compliance, as an attempted […]

How humility can help animal advocates to change the world, by Ed Duvin

June 16, 2022 By Merritt Clifton

Perspective of an old warrior Spending over a half-century in social justice movements, much of it consulting, I have formed some conclusions that did not come down from the mountaintop,  but merely represent the perspective of an old warrior. Were I to identify the most pernicious characteristics I have encountered among justice-seeking activists,  regardless of […]

And right on cue, here come the parasites, by Steve Hindi

March 4, 2022 By Merritt Clifton

“Parasites will be parasites.” Everyone at Showing Animals Respect & Kindness [SHARK] and the Humane Farming Association knew it would happen,  because parasites will be parasites. It wasn’t a matter of “if,”  it was just a matter of “when,”  and “when” did not take long.  But even though it was anticipated,  when it happened it […]
