If not killed instantly, the dogs end up wounded and left to die. Shooting, drowning, hanging, and electrocution are just some of the ways countries, particularly those ravaged by war, famine or political upheaval, use to control stray dog populations. Not only are these methods barbaric, they prove ineffective as the stray dog numbers continue to increase around the world.With your help, we can fight the bloodshed. WSPA is already providing much needed mobile clinics fitted with equipment and medical supplies, so dogs receive proper care in rural communities. We're also educating governments and owners on practical solutions like sterilization training and compulsory registration. But as you can imagine, there's so much more to be done.By donating $14 a month to the World Society for the Protection of Animals, you can become a member of the Animal Rescue Team and help save stray dogs and other animals from cruelty.Giving each month is important because it takes time, money and persistence to lobby governments to achieve legislation that outlaws the cruelty of animals. It helps build and establish sanctuaries to rehabilitate the animals you help rescue, and change attitudes to animal welfare through education of children and communities. What’s more, we need your support to help answer urgent calls for acts of such cruelty around the world. So for less than $.50 cents a day you can start saving these animals.

Subject: [MARC] Top Hockey Player Goes Vegan!

 

This is such good news, especially coupled with vegan Prince Felder's having won baseball's Home Run Derby on Monday night after intense media speculation about the effect on his game of going vegan.

Laraque is the star pro ice hockey forward for the Montreal Canadiens and a radio host for CFRN. He has earned his nickname "Big George" as he is 6'3" tall and weighs 230 pounds.

Laraque blogged about his decision to go vegan on July 4th, saying:

"I am pleased to announce that as of today I am officially a vegan. I am grateful for the hundreds of emails I received from vegetarians and vegans showing their support and sharing tips.. As this is a all new for me, I invite you to continue sharing your experiences with me. A special thanks to the Montreal Vegetarian Association for their support.

Finally, I decided to invest time in supporting animal rights. I have already joined various animal rights organizations. I feel it is important to help the living creatures that don't have a voice to defend themselves. I believe that we should all, especially public figures, raise awareness for this cause."

He has also started attending protests in Montreal and he is very big on supporting local animal rights groups. Very cool, eh?
