Before I get accused of putting canine before human, I do feel that more can and should be done in the area of child assistance. Regarding those of us who choose to get involved with supporting animals and animal rights, we all have our own personal reasons. Due to my position as a Human Resource Manager for the Army, I also worked for many years as a court appointed advocate for both women and children who have been abused. It is not strictly a civilian problem, it is just not so widely publicized.
I chose to work as a volunteer for various satellite agencies for the ASPCA. There is a lot of funding for the agencies that provide the advocacy for abused women and children that comes from both state and federal levels. The primary (all of it in most cases) funding received for the support of animals and animal rights comes from charitable donations from the private sector.
Finally, I also chose to leave the advocacy programs for women and children ONLY because there are so many rules, regulations and restrictions from the courts that actually hinder progress for many of these children by forcing us to leave them in the deplorable situations because more and more the courts are ruling in favor of NOT breaking up the family unit.
