Thanks Tiffany, perhaps they'll take a second thought next time they want to jump on a bandwagon of any sort.

Hi
I haven't got a reply, yet. so i guess they try to ignore it.
Or nobody cares....
I hoped that they atleast send a little statement.
I wasn't rude but put facts on the table....
I hope it did something......

I'm absolutely sure it did. I've found that letter writing and speaking out against things you don't agree with make a very large impact, especially in the corporate sector.

Well atleast they got back to me see for ur self how:

labradoodle plush dog that is being sold to benefit the American Cancer
Society. You mention in your email that you feel that by promoting this

the dogs. Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns about the "Lucky
the Labradoodle" project with the American Cancer Society. We are
sorry to lose your support of our organization. Your feedback has been
forwarded to the appropriate staff person in your Society office for
consideration. Please be assured that your input is important to us and
helps us improve our services and events.

That's lots of words to say nothing. I wonder if the "appropriate staff person" will ever get back to me? That is if the appropriate person is anything but a waste paper basket. Hmm....Sigh....

They probably think the emails are from a bunch of wacko dog loonies. It's sad they don't take it seriously. The only concern, after all, is the use of the word 'labradoodle'. How difficult is that to change? *sigh* They're not losing support for their organisation...just for that particular campaign.

Every time I see these designer mutts get any recognition, it makes me feel like this is a losing battle. And that's a very sad thing indeed.
