With declining economic conditions and increasing poverty for Mexican nationals, it is typical of Americans to organize and support a fund raiser for
animals.

And typical to sit back and dis others' efforts to help that don't fit exactly with your own agenda? C'mon...
Are you saying we should all just let the animals "breed like cats," starve, suffer and die simply because they're not "Mexican Nationals (I thought
they were)?" All creatures great and small are God's creatures and deserve our help. Every year, we use the money raised to help spay, neuter,
medicate and feed animals that belong to Mexican Nationals so they don't have to pay for it themselves. I fail to see how this doesn't help Mexican
Nationals.
We all do what we can to help out wherever we can. There are lots of other benefits in Todos Santos to help Mexican Nationals and we participate in
those as well.
If you want to do something to help the Mexican Nationals yourself, great! Do whatever you can in whatever way you can, but don't just sit back and
snipe at others' efforts to help, especially in "times of declining economic conditions and increasing poverty for Mexican nationals."

Totally agree with you Allan. We are so lucky here in TS to have a large group of people who volunteer for the "whole" community. Last week it was a
huge fund raiser for the palapa society and now we are so looking forward to a fund raiser for the animals.
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

I wonder how fundraising for the animals is taking away from anything or anyone else??? Maybe you should start a fundraiser for your particular
preference in saving the world. And, maybe you have. But darlin, you got too much time on your hands if you have nothing better to do than dis
another's effort to help ANYTHING. And, I guess I can say the same for myself, cuz I just dissed your effort of dissing.
We\'re all here cuz we\'re not all there, mountain stranded time

1. The event is probably the best musical event of the year
2. While I, personally, am not an animal person, it makes sense even to me to have an effective spa and neuter program working here
3. I applaud the organizers for running this event again!
Don't miss it if you are anywhere near TS!

Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

Nothing like being judgmental, huh darlin'? What is the natural extension of this effort, "save the cucurracha"?

So no benefits unless they're "your kind" of benefit?
BTW, when are you scheduling your benefit?

Only that charitable contributions are finite.

Dave, You know you cannot convince a zealot that they have missed the mark. They will revel in the joy of having known they spayed a dog, while
misery among humans goes unchecked. Let them feel good handing out money to a cat. It is soul cleansing for many.

If you go to our web site www.bajawesternonion.com and click on jammin' for the animals you will see all the details. We have some awesome door prizes and also a 50/50
raffle. Last year the winner of the 50/50 took home over $300 U.S. We have a terrific line up of musicians. Last year over 200 attended - we have
every reason to think it will be even bigger this year - so come early. See you there!!!

I dropped a peso into your cup when I spotted you on the curb yesterday. Keep up the good work, mount-a-goat. Good stalking of my posts.
