A message to Michael Vick Posted: 20 Jan 2010 09:52 AM PST Thanks to @SueRostvold for showing me this video. It was done a few years ago, when Sick Vick was still an Atlanta Falcon – before the NFL or the Falcons took any action. Even so, I’m certain @jonnystranger speaks for many of us.

Helping pets in Haiti after the earthquake Posted: 20 Jan 2010 07:44 AM PST There are a number of organizations that are accepting donations to help the pets and animals that are suffering due to the earthquake in Haiti. Whether you choose to send money to a charity specifically set up for pets, or one that will help the people of Haiti, please send something. American Humane Association American Veterinary Medical Foundation The Animal Rescue Site ASPCA Best Friends Animal Society They’re asking for donations and volunteers. Christian Veterinary Mission I believe this one uses the money to help people and pets. Humane Society International Fund for Animal Welfare SPCA United Animal Nations World Society for the Protection of Animals Donations from the United States Donations from other countries Tips for giving online: Give to a registered charity with 501 (c) (3) status Designate your donation.  If you are mail a check, write a note in the memo section of the check specifying how you’d like the money used (ex: for pets in Haiti). Avoid telemarketers and email requests for donations – quite often these people are scammers and have nothing to do with the charity they say they represent. Follow up by checking with the charity to find out how they helped. You can usually do this by visiting their website. If you’re interested in sending money primarily to help the people of Haiti, see the Charity Navigator for a list of organizations that are accepting donations.  You’ll also find more tips on help you make sure your money is used to help people and pets in Haiti.
