Here's the deal. After a situation between myself and another Forum member, I felt somewhat challenged to try to bring about some positive change from it. This morning, I had a small idea, and I'm willing to try it here on the Busse Combat Forum if y'all don't object. (open to ALL BladeForum.com members who wish to get involved. 
) This is completely separate from the matter that I mentioned above, so PLEASE do not use this thread to start that discussion, this is for POSITIVE actions ONLY, PLEASE. Cool? (...Seriously, if a negative discussion begins here, I will LOCK this thread faster than a MOD. PLEASE don't make me do that.)
And... I also wanna see some tasty Busse KNIFE PORN to help get everyone PSYCH'D for BLADE'07, OK? Please????????
Excellent!!
Ok... Recognizing that abandoned pets of all types pose serious problems in many areas, and MY personal feelings about killing these animals... I want to raise some money to donate to a few worthy organizations who support catch and release spay/neuter programs so that A.) the animal may live out its life, but B.) not be able to contribute to the population in that area, which after 1 generation, will seriously help to reduce the population of the target animal, ie. cats & dogs.
Also, I'd like to donate 1/2 of the proceeds to one or two 'no-kill' shelters for all types of abandoned or rescued pets, whether adoptable or not.
I'm a rescue cat... Won't you help my Daddy help other abandoned pets???
I will match all of your donations dollar for dollar up to $1000.00 ... Which will hopefully equal $2000+ for worthy organizations to help both abandoned animals, and also to help control feral animal populations through non-lethal methods. If this meets with success, I may decide to increase my end. I figure that the best thing to do is just get your pledge to donate now and then after I return from BLADE, pick the best 2 or more organizations & post them here for you all to consider their worthiness, and then ask for your pledged donation amount$. I will want to be able to document the total amounts and all accountable receipts here for all to see, and I want to make sure that these chosen Org.'s have these funds ready for use well before the Labor Day crunch... Let's try and make a little positive change happen. Little guys need love too. :thumbup:
Also, I need suggestions for WORTHY honest, not for profit/ non-profit organizations that fit these criteria, PLEASE! I know a few, but would like to hear about any new nationwide organizations that I am not aware of yet. I will also hunt down a few and post ones I find that fit for your consideration.
On a side note, my 4 cats were adopted from a no-kill shelter in Pennsylvania, called The CatAngel Network. All are spayed/neutered. All are only allowed out when I'm home to watch them, and all wear collars with 2 bells and a rabies ID tag to give little critters an early warning to avoid a confrontation. Cats are natural predators with instincts, and I do what I can to discourage them from hunting. (jingle_jingle! LOL)
Thank you for your consideration. :thumbup:
