You have got to be a troll. Nobody is this off-base by accident. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jls=runbox.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jls=runbox.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Sam Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 10:51 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Slides the cat has gone to kitty heaven To some, the death of a pet is akin to the death of a child, and to others the emotional resources and money spent on animals is a scandal. If the time and energy spent taking care of pets was expended on visiting the abandoned sick and aged, or the money spent on having a pet operated on was paid into the medical account of an uninsured sick and needy human being, so much suffering could be alleviated. It baffles me when someone fains concern (many times via documentary photography) for, example, a bloated, fly covered, starving African child, and then rushes in the Volvo to the Vets to have the dog operated on for cancer at a cost of $5,000. Vanity pets have no place in a world of suffering human beings. Sam S _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
