Virginia Release: Fill & Download for Free

I dont know of any states where balloons are outlawed but a few states do have laws prohibiting mass ballon releases. So far those states are California, Connecticut, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia. Released balloons cause damage to the environment, animals, and can cause dangerous power outages. I imagine we will see more states with balloon laws in the future.Balloons Blow - Don't Let Them Go

Why does PETA kill cats and dogs by the thousands instead of finding them homes? Simply, PETA does not believe in pet ownership. Ingrid Newkirk has called pet ownership “an abysmal situation.” She further elaborated on her goal for destroying the human-pet bond: “If people want toys, they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship, they should seek it with their own kind.”“In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of pets altogether,” she has said.Ridiculously, PETA has argued that outdoor cats should be summarily killed instead of allowed to live. In a 2014 interview with the Washington Post, Newkirk argued that outdoor cats would be better off dead because they might contract a future illness or be hit by a car in the future. In PETA’s twisted mind, it’s more humane to just euthanize the animals than for a hypothetical harm to befall them in the future. Similarly, PETA has also argued in court that elephants are better off being killed than living in American zoos where they are well cared for.PETA’s pro-killing attitude is part of its core—and it should shock any animal lover.Proof PETA KillsThe Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) requires all animal shelters to report the number of cats and dogs they take in each year. The records indicate how many cats and dogs were reclaimed by their owners, adopted out, transferred to other Virginia releasing agencies (i.e. animal shelters and animal control), transferred to out-of-state releasing agencies, died of natural causes, euthanized (killed), and how many the shelter held alive at the end of the calendar year. We added the dogs and cats euthanized and divided by the total number of dogs and cats taken in excluding those held only for sterilization surgery to determine the percentage of dogs and cats PETA killed in a given year. In 2009, Virginia modified its policy and eliminated animals held for sterilization from the records.We obtained the reports by filing public records requests under Virginia’s sunshine laws with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The information for years 2004-2010 is also available on the VDACS website for public inspection (animals classified as “other” from 2004-2009 include those reported by PETA as held for sterilization).

May I support the answer criticizing George Washington, happily throwing in fellow founding guys like Jefferson. George washington had false teeth and partly how he composed a set was to line up his slaves and have an overseer pull out the teeth he found appealing. When I slave injured himself picking in the field, he showed the slave how to do his job using one hand rather than give him a day off.He and other slave holding founding guys knew perfectly well what they were doing in their different time. The day the Declaration of Independence was published the largest slave holder in Washington’s Virginia released all his 400 slaves explaining on the front page of the newspaper that he asked himself “Do I believe that all men are created equal? Yes I do. Do I believe that a slave is a man? Of course. And so I can not hold slaves as propertyThere are letters between Jefferson and Washington in which they forecast that they will be judged as villains in American history for holding slaves. It was different times, but same human rights.
