CLOSING THOUGHT - September 2026

We wish all our Jewish friends, and members a Happy Roshanah, and an easy fast for

Yom Kippur.

In New York there was a bill before the City Council to ban horse drawn carriages,

because a person fell out of a horse drawn carriage and was killed. Many horses have been

killed in traffic. The City Council voted it down. Please find out who these Council Members

are, and don’t vote for them in the future.

The Transport Workers Union of America, which represents the Horse Carriage workers,

stated on the Internet that they were happy about the vote. They also said that the Carriage

owners were taking good care of their horses. I would like to see the City Council spend the

night in the stall of a horse that spent the day dragging people around. See how the horse looks,

and how old it is.

The carriages have been around since the 1800s. It is now 2026. What worked back then,

does not work now. It has to be stopped.

On another note, Florida has to be applauded. Governor De Santis signed Legislation,

which strengthens animal protection laws. You can read the article in the Legislation section of

this newsletter. It is a start.

Snowbirds, please let us know when to update your winter address.

Hurricane season is here, and so many animals will die during this season with flooding in

certain areas. Please be aware of the strays during this harsh weather.

Please do not pass an animal in distress. Try to call a local shelter or Rescue Group. You

can google “Local Rescue Groups in your area.” Whatever area you are in, if you put it into

google using these words, usually it will give you the local groups in your area.

We need your pledges monthly. Please send whatever you can. It is sincerely

appreciated. Please if you can make a donation, please do so.

Be safe, and get your vaccinations, and booster shots. There are new strains of the Flu,

and COVID viruses out there. We don’t want to lose you.

Please Remember Our Troops

“We salute you for all you have done.

Your courage has kept us safe.

Your sacrifice has kept us free.

All of America owes you more than we can repay.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are behind you all the way –

From the battlefield. . .to recovery!”

Please remember that we need more Adam, Eve and Sponsor-A-Stray members. Please

pass this newsletter on to family, friends and at your workplace, if possible.

Till next time.
