Please help stop this senseless slaughter

I agree that this thread has taken on some venom and everyone should probably just "tap the brake" a bit.

Overall, I agree with Sarah's assessment that someone shouldn't have to sign a petition just to get more information. That's what smacked of "spam" to me. I am convinced however that spankedbrit believes in the cause and didn't see it as spam. But that's just me. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.

I think we get into a danger area when posting "personal causes." It's kind of like discussing religion and politics. It's going to be polarizing, no matter what the cause.

As moderator, I thought about deleting this thread a few days ago, but I really hate to be judge and jury. I want to keep this forum clean and open to everyone and have yet to delete any post or thread. I'd like to keep it that way.

Let's just let it lie and make a note that personal causes are something that can be a lightning rod.
