Hello again to all of you.

Tonight I'll send some information about the terrible world the animals
would fall into if left behind here in Ethiopia. [next post] I do not
want to write about it because it is horrible. I will though, because
you'll immediately see why I would not leave them, and how much they
(and I) need your help.

**SO**
Bid early and often,
up to NOON JAN 2, WEST-COAST TIME.
The auction's been extended, and we're up to $25!

The info's below, slightly updated with  ****new info.****

***** If left behind, the ferrets, dogs, cats, and the injured donkey
would all die nasty deaths within a short time. The mother and baby
donkey would suffer a hard, abnormally short life. *****

**** Here you can see pix of one of my cats, Alula, who fell into a
pit of inadvertent abuse and then was rescued *****

Soon I will make myself describe a few common deliberate abuses.
