That would be so cool. I haven't seen that movie in ages. It's such a good film.
Totally. Isn't Mount Whitney near there, too?

The best part about Lone Pine is that there's not much light polution. At night, with no moon, you can see the milkway. It's awesome. I camped out there once, it's truly stunning.

Out of curiosity, why? I worked at the Hawaii Human Society for 1 day during high school. They showed me 'the chamber' (empty, no animals) and I had to leave. They also showed us a film w/ before and after pictures and couldn't take it.

I wish they would show either:

Beverly Hills Cop II, Charlies Angels: Full Throttle, Dragnet, or even Toxic Avenger 4


Location, location, location :D

First of all, I don't find the prospect of killing a non-pet dog or cat any more emiotional than killing a non-pet cow or chicken. So I don't have that objection that many have that somehow dogs and cats are uniquely deserving of protection.

But I certainly don't have a problem with no-kill. It is just that most places have neither the space, funding, nor staffing to properly manage the phenomenal quantity of such animals it would be necessary to house humanely. For cats sterilize and release is frequently an acceptable option (depending on need to protect local native habitat) but that won't work with dogs at all). Even if broad education and promotion programs result in adopting out every animal available the places still eventually fill up with animals that in good conscience can not be adopted (and BFAS has this problem, slowly their kennels fill with dogs they can't adopt out and they have a huge amount of space but it is still limited by funding and staffing).

You should have stayed longer at he Hawaii Humane Society because then we'd likely have a "small world" connection. My first landlord in Hawaii was a crazy old lady (and I mean that literally) whose only purpose in life beyond filling her house with junk was getting HHS and the City of Honolulu to stop euthenasia and implement a sterilize-and-release program for cats AND dogs. She was down there pretty much all the time for the previous 20 years.

For awhile, we were looking to get a dog in Hawai'i. So I visited the HHS several times a month looking for a dog to adopt. There were a few protester types around on a number of occasions. I'm sure she was one of them.

The BFAS looks like a cool place.

I have a bunch of BFAS publications. Another crazy cat lady gave them to me to read. They have a great facility and, if I'm ever in the area, I will drop by.

Netflix movies to animal euthanasia. This thread needs to be listed in the derail hall-of-fame.

We did our own outdoor screening twice in Monterey. We did 'LOTR:FOTR' in our friend's backyard and 'Master and Commander' in another friend's backyard. It was fun.
All we needed was an LCD projector and a big sheet.
When I move back to CA, we should plan one of these. We'll just do it ourselves. I'm sure CoasterMatt or Moonliner or GD could make us an LCD projector.
:)

We did a backyard screening of To Catch a Thief at Andrew's a couple years ago. LCD, white sheet, PVC frame. It was a lot of fun.

I'd like to see March of the Penguins at.....

Oh, never mind.
