<DIV><BR></DIV>>The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough
people to click<BR>>on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food
donated every day<BR>>to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a
minute to go to<BR>>their site and click on "feed an animal in need" for
free! This doesn't<BR>>cost you a thing! Their corporate
sponsors/advertisers use the number of<BR>>daily visits to donate food to
abandoned/neglected animals in exchange<BR>>for advertising. Here's the web
site! Pass it along to people you
know!<BR>><BR>>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com<BR><BR>This was just

fwd: warning re: Animal Rescue Site ("Click for Food")<BR><BR>Rabbits -- and

Homeline Publications is.<BR><BR>A fellow animal advocate did a little
investigating re the Animal <BR>Rescue Site and found the
following...<BR><BR>Cheryl<BR><BR><<<BR>In general, for-profit click
through donations, except as provided by <BR>ethical businesses, range from
useless to frauds.<BR><BR>The Animal Rescue Site is run by
CharityUSA.com. CharityUSA.com, is <BR>a for profit organization owned
by HOMELINE PUBLICATIONS, a known <BR>problem spammer. (See <BR><A

thehungersite.com, <BR>therainforestsite.com, theanoimaslrescuesite.com,
thechildsite.com, <BR>greatergood.com, earthdaystore, and
ecologyfund.com. The <BR>organization has not chosen to provide the
Better Business Bureau, or <BR>anyone else, with information on their
operation.<BR><BR>Quoting from "oThe Charlotte Observer" on

click is worth about 0.2 of a penny. So if you visit the site <BR>every day
for a year, you've contributed a grand total of about 80 <BR>cents.<BR><BR>"If
it's that important to you," Borochoff said, "wouldn't it be more
<BR>productive to make a donation
