Remembering Phoenix - The Phoenix Fund
Many of us who care about animals were deeply disturbed by the story of the poor pit bull, Phoenix, who was doused with gasoline and set on fire in Baltimore last month. Rescuers tried to save her but her liver began to fail and she was euthanized, leaving her in peace---but not those of us who know that animal cruelty is rampant in Maryland. Poor Phoenix made the headlines, but animal cruelty usually goes unreported and unnoticed by the public-at-large.
Maryland Votes For Animals (MVFA) is committed to making Maryland a safer place for animals through legislation. We need strong animal protection laws, championed by compassionate and knowledgeable lawmakers who will take a stand on behalf of Phoenix and all the animals who need our protection. That's why MVFA has created "The Phoenix Fund." It's our way of reminding ourselves why we work for animals and why we need your donation.
MVFA has no paid staff so every dollar you give goes directly toward our work for animals. Will you join me in making a donation to MVFA today?

Sadly, this level of cruelty, though astounding, is not surprising. We seem to have devolved to the point where we have so little empathy for any other living things that we don't to seem to relate to them on that level at all.
Was it Thoreau who said, “The squirrel that you kill in jest, dies in earnest”? Does it really take that level of philosophical thought to arrive at the conclusion that maybe we hadn't ought to torture other living things?
You can certainly count on my support, please tell us where to send contributions.
