You wish! I am an Israeli and a cat lover. My youngest, Tuli, was adopted from a shelter. people here simply don't give money to animal charities. The biggest org does annual fundraisers with a couple of local celebs, but even they struggle. I buy cat food for shelters from time to time and feed the strays around my house. This is what I personally can do.

Lisa, perhaps we should, before writing down something, think. But firstly: I am a great animallover, not jewish but living in Israel and also for more than 30 years active in the animalworld. I know what is going on here and you cannot accuse the Israeli people for not loving animals or being bad to them. Not even the one who was ruynning the mentioned in the article place. She just went "overboard", which in no way I justify. I am too busy with my place, with is the oldest one in Israel and come and hav a look. It is beautiful, with 24 hours staff, including doctors, nightwatchman, adoptionpeople, kennelmaids, et cetera. We have a problem to make ends meet as indeed we, and all the organizations, are depenmding on donations and they are few. Going now to your remark about money given by the United States, this is a fable. Israel, and probably the other recipents of help from the States do not receive anything for not giving in return. The return means that the jobs keep open on

I agree, LisaFleming. Israel is a wealthy country on its own, so why does 1/5 of all foreign assistance money go to them? Their problem is the same as ours. They have 18 families in Israel that own most of the wealth, where we have 8 families that do. And all of these families connect right back to the Rothschilds.

please don't spit hate in the comments of this lovely article.. Its just..really pathetic and sad..

Israel doesn't use that money because it isn't its purpose and it's funny people think it's "free money". the US government gives the money to SPEND BACK on US military industries, research JOINED military tech & as "compensations" for not letting Israel sell tech to countries the US don't agree on. -- Pretty much every city in Israel has a rescue NGO and as far as I noticed some NGOs get every couple of years a small sum of money from the gov' but it's far from optimal. I think it's pretty much the same everywhere in the world.

AMEN!

hey, Lisa! Do you know why we really give tons of money to Israel? I didn't think so! Israel is our, the USA's first line of defense in the Middle East. They are the knights in shinning armor on the front lines of democracy. Every other country in the middle east hates us. That's right, HATES the United States. So, either read up on your 20th century history or SHUT UP!

I had the same thought. What's to stop this shelter (and owners) from doing it again?
