Polo to benefit Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

[Guest guest]

Best Friends, you too !

 

I thought 'Horses' were also friends, so what if not best friends.

 

How can the money which comes out of the use of harsh bits in their mouths

and the use of whips in training and shows benefit a society?

 

Even the organisers and promoters of 'Elephant Polo' for the benefit of the

same polo playing elephants have now come out in the open to say: YES IT WAS

A MISTAKE.

 

Then why repeat this again?

 

Have we run out of ideas for fun raising?

 

Have we gone down so low that we now have to adopt such unfair and unethical

means of raising funds?

 

Or have we decided on which animals have 'Rights' and which animals have

NONE.

 

Dr. John, this issue is non Asia centric as of now but I would appreciate if

this news can be allowed posting on AAPN and may we throw a free and fair

debate with our sensible and esteemed members on board.

 

Thanks,

Polo for Paws Charity Event Benefits Best Friends Animal Sanctuary*In

response to the increased inflow of animals and slowing donations that have

affected many shelters and rescue groups, Kim Snider has organized Polo for

Paws, benefiting Best Friends Animal Sanctuary on October 24, 2009 at the

Dallas Polo Club.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) <http://www.prlog.org/> – Aug 26, 2009 – Economic

uncertainty doesn't just affect people. In the past few weeks, rescue

groups in the Dallas Fort Worth area have rescued over 600 hundred animals.

According to published reports, some of those rescues have cost $75,000. In

response to the increased inflow of animals and slowing donations that have

affected many shelters and rescue groups, Kim Snider has organized Polo for

Paws, benefiting Best Friends Animal Sanctuary on October 24, 2009 at the

Dallas Polo Club.

 

Kim Snider, Founder and CEO of Snider Advisors, said, “When we experience

economic uncertainty, unfortunately, charitable giving becomes a

discretionary expense and is often one of the first cuts a family makes.

Polo for Paws is a great way to give to the shelters in need while spending

a fun-filled afternoon with family and friends.”

 

Polo for Paws, a benefit for Best Friends Animal Society, is being held

Saturday, October 24, 2009 at the Dallas Polo Club. Gates will open at noon.

Polo school will begin at 12:30pm where you can try your hand at riding a

horse and swinging a mallet . The feature match will begin at 2:00pm. Half

time will include flying frisbee dogs and TC Cappel's Dancing Dogs.

Additional activities are scheduled throughout the day. For more

information and tickets, check out the Polo For Paws website at

Best Friends has a simple philosophy: kindness to animals builds a better

world for all of us. The sanctuary, in Kanab, Utah, is home to about 2000

dogs, cats, horses, birds and other animals - both wild and domestic - who

come from shelters and rescue groups around the country and the world for

special care they can only receive at Best Friends. Best Friends acts as a

sort of " Red Cross for animals " , dispatching teams of volunteers worldwide

wherever there is an over-whelming situation. Teams have been sent to help

in hoarding situations, closed down puppy mills, natural disasters, and war.

Best Friends also fought for the lives of Michael Vick's dogs. The court

agreed, sending many of them to Best Friends where some have been

rehabilitated and adopted. Others of Vick's dogs, who will not fully

recover from the trauma, will have a forever home at Best Friends and have

been named The Vicktory Dogs. You may have seen some of them on National

Geographc's hit show, " Dogtown. "
