Has Anyone Yet Posted About Pet Food Stamps?

I don't see that they have, but then I'm dyslexic, so...

Anyway, they're a nonprofit group also seeking to outlaw FORprofit high-kill shelters, and there's a petition about it on the WH website:

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/outlaw-profit-high-kill-animal-shelters/w3hS2CpH

Please, if you haven't already, go there and at least sign the petition. They only have 3 more days left.

Then please send them whatever funds you can. They send dog food to qualified needy families so dogs don't have to be given up or worse.

There were posts before, but not about the petition that I've seen. Here's one: NYC_SKP May 2013 #1

and I love that idea. We all know that our pets are family, and it would devastate us if we couldn't afford to feed them.

Thanks for the petition. I wasn't even aware that there were "for profit" high-kill shelters. I need to look into that. I am not sure that I can comprehend where the profit comes from, but I am afraid to find out.
