German Shepherd needs a home
December 8th, 2008
Autumn is at the Humane County of Goodhue County and looking for a home:
She was found as a stray, and went to the shelter on October 15, so it’s time for you to go take her for a run around the block, a test drive, and she if she’s the doggie for you. She’s nearly 6 years old, born in July (how do they know???) and she’s up to date on shots. From the shaving on her belly, and her right front leg, it looks like she’s just been spayed. She looks so much like Kenya!

Why do you think they call it ED?

Either way, it’s all the same, corporate whores who can’t get it up! Today, a little accountability.
Today Environmental Defense’s office in Washington D.C. was occupied and re-branded “Environmental Offense.” Yes, the office of ED was occupied by members of Global Justice Ecology Project, Global Forest Coalition, and Rising Tide North America and Rising Tide Ecuador. ED was scoured and tested by Green & Wash LLC, and awarded with a CRAP credit… Certified Realists for Atmospheric Privatization, that is…
Today, Environmental Defense, tomorrow, the Izaak Walton League/Wind on the Wires? The Doris Duke Foundation? (Doris Duke just dumped $750k into National Resources Defense Council for Cap & Trade). The Joyce Foundation? I hope they understand that we know who they are and we know what they’re doing!
The office was taped off as a Global Warming Crime Scene:
Here is the full statement in technicolor from Dr. Rachel Smolker, daughter of one of the founders of Environmental Defense, Robert E. Smolker, taken from the Global Justice Ecology Project site:
Why? What was he foreseeing? I think I understand now:
We cannot afford to wait, or to fail, or to only half succeed at this point.
