Elizabeth and Karen and Jonathan, What is the status of this article? this email is so entangled with OTRS and everything else, I cannot untangle who said what to whom and where it ended up.

Yeah, just found out today. I've emailed back to ask whether other rescues have been invited - and if so, who has accepted. I'd still worry about spca's publicity.

How about just "False" and "True", or "They said" and "The truth is"? -----Original Message----- Date: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 8:22:22 pm To: "Mickaboo media advisor team" <media-advisors(a)mickaboo.org> From: "Jonathan Harris" <jonathanharris(a)earthlink.net> Subject: Re: [Media-advisors] Lies and Misstatements draft Just to clarify - "Lies and Misstatements" wasn't meant as a title for the document. It was only a subject label for discussion. I agree phrases such as "The Biggest Lie" and "Ridiculously False" are confrontational. Michelle had asked me to write something that responded to POPA's misrepresentations in a dispassionate voice, and those phrases do cross the line. We are in a confrontation, however, and while I agree our truths are strong enough to stand on their own, I'm not sure taking an entirely "positive" tone and burying the fact that these points are rebuttals is what is wanted here and now. Mickaboo's integrity is being attacked, our practices misrepresented. It is appropriate (and sufficient) that we respond to these lies in a dignified way with fact-based arguments. But I believe we should *respond* and be clear about that. We have a tougher argument to make than our opponents because we're trying to overcome people's naïve preconceptions as well as to counter POPA's scare tactics and

I would not bank on that one happening. Appears to be a CAT adopt-a-thon. Not a multi-species adoption event. And I'll have just landed from a two week business trip. I'll see if someone wants to volunteer to be there - but ofhand, this does not appear to be the best ue of our volunteer resources.

If we can arrange a presence at the SF SPCA adoption fair in a few weeks, I think that will be a perfect hook for a press release: a current event, working with a shelter in SF, that can be leveraged to summarize what other kinds of partnering we do with shelters.

revised title: "Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics" -----Original Message----- Date: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 1:14:40 pm To: media-advisors(a)mickaboo.org From: "Jonathan Harris" <jonathanharris(a)earthlink.net> Subject: [Media-advisors] Lies and Misstatements draft Here is a draft of the proposed "Lies and Misstatements" document. I did not answer every absurd point the opposition made, but tried to dismantle what I thought were the worst ones and the main ones they have woven together into their paranoid narrative. It is longer than I wish it were. It may be OK for our Web site. But if we want a 1-page informational flyer, e.g., it should be pared down. Another set of eyes probably could do that better than I could. You may want an entirely different introduction, or none, depending on the purposes for which we want to use the final version(s). Needless to say, the document also should be checked for the specific facts/statistics mentioned and the precise wording of certain terms.

Since the San Francisco Animal Welfare Commission first mentioned adding small animals, including birds, to a proposed ban on the sale of dog
