Sad when you hear of the tons of food that's wasted that could be used to help those especially countries affected by drought. Tom

Sure is Tom seems it’s cheaper to dump it, than ship to where it’s needed, I readily admit I am not influenced by those ads however desperate they appear, see my reply to Jenna, cheers David

What bothers me about those ads is that it costs the same to give to animal rescue as it does to feed starving children. I'm all for helping both important causes, and I've rescued several animals from shelters, but do they have the same value? Perhaps so... they all need food, shelter and love.

Yeah some ads are duplicitous especially when they want you to start a subscription service to the charity, then I read admin gets the lions share of your donations, this monoku is probably my pixelated view, of which I stand accused, but it also carries some deeper meaning, anyone who rescues abandoned animals are kind souls Jenna, cheers David
