Keep up the animal rescue stories!! I run a dog shelter in Costa Rica. Photo, situation specifics, and the OUTCOME =neces
If the outcome is positive, don't worry about those readers who "....don't want to read about/hear about/find out about IT"...when an animal, domestic or wild, ends up in a really bad situation and is rescued, other nations respond because we are a model for them. As an American world traveler, now living in Costa Rica with 53 dogs in my shelter, my take is that we are fortunate to be from a nation that cares, a nation that supports animal rescue groups with brave volunteers and brave paid employees affiliated with both public and private shelters. I notice that we, Americans, are positively influencing and changing the World's "give a sh-t" cultures and convincing them to "Follow the way of the USA" as far as making dangerous rescues of animals....domestic and wild.. bringing the domestic animals to their owners or to shelters to be successfully adopted - and the wild animals released or to proper care until release is possible. A really good animal rescue article has photography, the specifics of the animal, the situation, the rescue, the specifics of the adoption, return to owner, or wild animal release/to professional care until release is possible - each article with a positive outcome. All of these factors are vital to a good, enjoyable article to read before, during, or after dinner. I love all your news stories on animal rescues, even the bloody and graphic articles if that is part of the story. That's our world. It is good to have the majority of the readers walking away with a sense of accomplishment and the prevalent good of man. If you start filtering out graphic and tragic stories so that we only read "coochie-coo" fairy tale ending stories about rescued dogs, war, bombing children's hospitals, thousands of refugees drowning as they seek freedom and a better life, you are then no longer reporting the news of our sometimes very evil world. I want my fellow Americans and my children to read about it as it is, including the good, the bad, and the ugly.
