Mike, here is where you have me all wrong. There is probably no two people more of an animal rights activist than my wife and myself. This is our life's passion and we support many organizations with much money and time.

No, I understood it correctly. You misread it. Companies want the public to have high opinions of them. That's why they give to the community so when they do something bad like kill a few seals, they want people overlook it. I think I remember right you would give the price of a jag (car) for a pet, but you were also all for taking away the health care benifits for domestic help a short time back. Is that correct?

I sure don't see where an employer is any more greedy that an employee who wants as much as he can get from his employer.

I'm not gaining a dime (actually I will lose money). I am causing my company to do something it said it would do, and the benefit goes to my community. You are the ONLY one who has had any negative comments in the thread.
