From his website:

"Are you an individual who regularly finds himself with too many cats and dogs on hand or maybe you're just in need of cash, Whether you've got a whole unwanted litter of mutts or just one cat that doesn't get along with the rest, Email me and do a good deed. Keep it up and you can earn bonus money for quantity.

Still, Don't believe me??? Animals are your property which you can dispose of as you please."

And this:

Some of our various clients include major universities, medical research, pharmaceutical companies, cosmetic companies, defense-research establishments, ammunition proving grounds, and numerous commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry.

WTF? I'm just hoping this is some kind of sting operation.

The pictures of doe-eyed

The pictures of doe-eyed dogs and cats instead of doe-eyed children is a pretty good tip-off to the validity of this site.

I'm sorry, I realize it's not funny in any sense of the word, but I just flashed on what might happen to some guy trying to buy children for medical testing...And it wouldn't be pretty.

[Luckily, DavCo state Rep. Janis Sontany worked hard to not only make cruelty to animals a felony in Tennessee...(she also got it done in Nashville as a member of Metro Council.) Last year she got the definition of domestic violence expanded to include animals...she's also working on holding parents more liable in cases of juvenile animal cruelty...damn wouldn't I love to see her run for Governor sometime...]

For that matter, so does the ALF

Hmmmm

Perhaps there's more than meets the eye.

Thank you for the info, I stand corrected at the moment. ALF seems to feel that the site has ulterior motives that are in favor of animal rights.

On issues like this I tend to take ALF's word more often than not.

Thanx again!
