1. I think it the article makes the most important points - even w/ the
inaccuracies. The big points that will jump out at people, IMO, is that pet overpopulation is very serious, that the local shelter is a kill shelter and that some people are creating more humane alternatives.

Whiskerville should get some good people who come looking to adopt and some donations, too.

Working with pet overpopulation and rescues strikes me as being a lot like Mother Teresa working in the slums of Calcutta -- it seems almost impossible not to give up when contemplating the depth and breadth of the need. Someone once asked Mother Teresa how she could keep going - she said that she just helped the next person who walked in the door.
