My neighborhood is not nearly so friendly to animals as Jack's seems to
be. They're not exactly abusive, but very, very neglectful. Lot's of
"Oh we love our dog", while they keep her chained up ignored in the
front yard. It's the main reason our house is overflowing with
fourleggers. When an animal goes missing, most of the folks around here
don't even look for them, (or answer found ads in the paper), they just
go get another one and their old "pets" end up at my house :( . They
don't for a minute understand my dedication, but they usually treat me
with indulgence. They think the way I perceive animal rights is crazy,
but they seem to smile on my efforts anyway. It's very frustrating,
but I keep trying to educate.

Wow, that is encouraging. Know what you mean about people thinking
you are nuts! We don't venture far into some parts of the
neighborhood with out a second or third person along -- but I think
we've felt pretty safe because people kind of treat us like we are
nuts -- and harmless!!
