Newspaper Kvallsposten and Expressen

What a wonderful response to the article in these two papers. 98% positive and 2 % negative I want to thank the newspapers Kvallsposten and Expressen for including animals and making something difficult inspiring in a positive way. "Paw-fect"

Also everyone that wrote comments after the article...we all thank you so much for your kind words and support.

One comment posted to the article was that Mafia are also humans and "animal friends". Yes, but we are talking about a business that is done here, and very lucrative for the criminal element. Of course they love animals as long as there is money to be made. Don't confuse how they feel and treat their own pets with what they are willing to do to unwanted strays to make a euro!

Another poster thought helping animals was a waste when there were so many starving children in need of help. He apparently didn't do good research. If he were to go to my homepage http://www.miamattsson.com/, he could read that we are helping orphans at Centro Laila. Also, my finished manuscript is about children's suffering in the whole world, and also how animals can help to heal children's trauma. But also, how mean children can be towards animals.


But that is like saying to veterinarians, "why not help humans?"
A measure of a society is how it treats all its less advantaged and those without a voice... two AND four legged.

I was really impressed when I read the article in Expressen! This shows that each and one of us can do a lot to make a difference. And I totally agree that caring for animals does not have to exclude caring about children or anyone else.
In my opinion it is more about a persons mind set, if you are a caring person - there are no such limits :)

I will defenitly add you to my blog-list, and read more about your work.

Thank you for caring!
All heder!
