From some of the posts I received when I talked about the Boxer puppy rescue, I’m assuming we have a lot of animal lovers here on BadWeb. I’m not a fan of helping those who won’t help themselves. I also don’t like that we interfere in other Nation’s affairs. I’m a firm believer in being relaxed and accepting things I cannot change. Many of the motorcycle riders I have met since I got into this hobby share the same outlook. I believe on doing what I can, for who I can. Some of those ‘people’ are abandoned animals and the Animal Protection League is of that mentality too. In the past couple of months, I have personally saved three kittens and kept two. My parents have the third. We have also saved Sloan from certain death at the hands of a breeder. I do what I can volunteering for the APL, but it isn’t nearly enough. My family saves all recyclables and donates to the APL. Whenever they have a rummage sale, my family donates a lot of non-essential house hold items and I come home to discover some of my stuff missing! Hell, after Katrina, my dad went to New Orleans and helped rescue animals.

Right now, I’m doing a fund raiser for the APL through a poker run at Lake Erie Harley Davidson/Buell on July 27 and I’m bugging you guys for additional support. I’ve raised $200 in two days for the charity and would like to raise as much as possible. I’m hoping that my fellow BadWebbers would like to contribute as even the smallest amount will help.

For donations, I can accept Paypal, but I would prefer a check or Money Order made out to the Animal Protection League so we all know where it’s going. The added benefit is that with the check you have proof that you donated to a charity and it should be tax deductible. Those that may question this can check with the many BadWebbers that I’ve met. The only thing I get is free lunch and waived entry fee if I can get more than $75.00 in donations which will be donated by myself.

Thanks for reading.
