I just wanted to let you guys know that i was doing some research for a speech to prove that rodeo is not cruelty to animals and came upon the emails that were sent between SHARK and Marianne and I just wanted to let you know that what they had to say was very bogus and I totally agreed with Marianne. I also wanted to tell you to keep up the good work.

Steve Hindi - the founder of SHARK is a convicted criminal. Listening to what he has to say about animal rights would be like listening to OJ Simpson on relationships, marriage and raising children. NOT

I can't really say that I have an opinion on rodeos one way or another. I do, however, see some pictures and video clips on the Shark website that are disturbing to say the least. If what those people say is true, and if their evidence is genuine, such cruelty should stop. If what Shark says is not true, the rodeo people should thoroughly disprove it and have done with it.

Boy oh boy. There aren't many Richard Vinet's in the world and I just found out one of my father and my's namesakes is a godless, bleeding heart half-a-man who allows his hormonal wife to wear the family pants. Since he and Pat seem to have a little extra time on their hands, perhaps someone could clue them in that there are tens of thousands of helpless, needy children in this country alone who could use a little of their, and Michael Moore's for that matter, time & resources. Tell them we'll worry about the darn animals after we get humanity squared away. Where were they in school when the teacher was explaining the food chain? God bless you and the Rowell family for their hearty, pioneering spirit. Family is what matters! Please don't re-print this....I'm supposed to be working!

Vern Lawrence arranged to have it made for me.......I will look at his initials and post it on this website
