- Cpaulinc Monday, February 11, 2008 6:01 AM Urgent help needed. Not Money Please Cross Post!! Urgent!PLEASE HELP US and "NO" we don't need your Money!! We run a dog rescue shelter in Mallorca, a small island off of Spain. Our shelter has a no-kill policy & although we re-home dogs every week, some of our resident dogs have been with us for years. The animal-abuse level is horrible over here. We regularly rescue and nurse back to health, dogs that have been used for dog-fighting, dogs that have been hung by the neck with the tips of their paws just balancing on the ground to prolong the agony, and generally dogs that have just been abandoned or starved. We successful re-home hundreds of dogs a year to nice animal-loving people on the Island. Next week, Palma Council

plan to close us down. We've fought with them for years, but there's every chance that next week on VALENTINES DAY FEBRUARY 14TH, they're going to send the Police into us & confiscate all of our resident dogs, cats, donkeys and horses. Mallorca is very much an island that depends on tourism, probably

over 60% of the islands income is from tourists. So we've been running a 'COMPLAIN TO THE MAYORESS' EMAIL campaign getting anyone we can to email the Mayoress of Palma & ask her NOT TO CLOSE THE CENTRO CANINO. The more bad press we can get for the Council, the more we can get people complaining to them, the more chance our dogs have to live. Palma can't afford to look like a cruel city. It lives for tourism. The email campaign seems to be working, the Council are dithering a bit & there's now a chance we'll get a reprieve. Between now & Valentines DAY, We urgently desperately need a big push, a huge number of emails & faxes to be sent to the Mayoress urging her to leave our dog shelter alone.With your help we can stay open. With your help we can continue saving the lives of lovely dogs & finding them caring good homes. PLEASE can you email the letter below to the Mayoress of Palma & (most most most importantly) forward this email to all of your supporters and any/all animal lovers you know, so that they will email or fax the Mayoress. Your help is incredibly appreciated & obviously if there is ever anything we can do in return for you, You have only to ask. www.newcentrocanino.com will take you to our website, where you can see what we're trying to achieve. The dogs on the 'For Adoption' page are just some of the dogs that Palma Council plan in killing on Valentines day. www.palmademallorca.es will take you to Palma Council's own website, if you'd like to know more about our city. www.boycottpalma.com is a campaign to try and get Palma Council to give in & allow the Centro Canino to stay open. PLEASE HELP US. PLEASE EMAIL THE MAYORESS OF PALMA.... Here is her email address.. omic batlia oit 010 palmainfo info arxiu infopsoe + please cc your email to centrocanino Fax: +34 971 176185 - Palma Tourist Office Fax +34 971 225920 - Palma Council If possible please cc a copy of your email to: julieford &

to oit (which is the local tourism office)The more we can inundate them with emails etc. over the next few days, the much more chance we have of staying open and helping the dogs and cats. Here is the letter we'd be so grateful if you will send, obviously feel free to change/add to it in any way that you like. --------------------- Dear Lady Mayoress, It is with sadness that I learn that you plan to forcibly close the Centro Canino dog shelter and take away their dogs to be killed. The Centro Canino do not ask for money from you, they ask nothing of you except to be left

alone to try & get on with the good job of finding homes for abandoned and harmed dogs. Please re-consider & allow the Centro Canino to carry on saving the lives of neglected animals. Spain is part of Europe, it is a modern country, please have a more modern outlook regarding animal welfare. Please change you mind and do the right thing. Leave the Centro Canino alone. Thank-you for your time,I look forward to your reply, _________________________ ----------------------- So please send an email to the Mayoress of Palma,

and MOST MOST MOST MOST MOST IMPORTANTLY forward this email to all your supporters/friends & anyone You can think of who's animal lover. We need 100s of people to email the Mayoress & her officers in the next few days. This is an honest chance for You to make a difference, I really believe

that, if you help us, and enough other animal lovers help us in the next week, you'll be helping save the lives of dozens of really lovely,really friendly, intelligent good dogs, not to mention cats, donkeys, horses and elephants. OK - not elephants!! THANK-YOU SO SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP Best wishes, Andrew Benjamin on behalf of the Centro Canino Dog Shelter -----------------------**************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.(http://music.aol.com/grammys/pictures/never-won-a-grammy?NCID=aolcmp00300000002548) No virus found
