It is extremely expensive to rescue these animals, nurse them back to good health.  Ask any horse owner and they will tell you, that it is extremely costly to keep and take care of a horse, as their needs are so great.  This is why NHT needs your help! http://www.punk.co.za/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1776 Next time you get handed a free sample of Listerine mints or product of the sort, do yourself a favour and Go do a search on some of the ingredients, mainly Aspartame*.

"I am an individual who hangs out with the other side of the youth. Not the drug-infested or alcohol-driven, rather the individuals who live for live music performed by local bands and who generally have a good time. Personally I think there is not enough exposure for these bands. The 'punk' and 'metal' scene has vast talent in our very own back yard - like One More Riot and Lethal Strings. People get a disillusioned impression of local bands because they have heard of bands like Neshamah, who apparently call themselves Christian. In other words they use the Church and so forth to swindle money out of the youth and in the process make atrocious music. http://www.punk.co.za/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1435 I hope everyone remembered Anti KFC month...it is the merry month of May.
