How to Give to the SPCA
Saving the lives of overlooked and discarded animals has been the job of the SPCA since it’s inception in 1824. The SPCA had its simple beginnings primarily to prevent the abuse of carriage horses in the days before automobiles in England. Horses were driven through freezing cold winters and stiflingly hot summers, often with little food, water or rest. The carriage drivers were interested only in making as much money as possible, and would beat the horses if they refused to or were unable to pull the carriages.
The first American SPCA was started in 1866 in New York City and has since added SPCA’s all over the country and the rest of the world. SPCA International seeks to develop and utilize a worldwide platform that both supports independent animal shelters and promotes the safety of animals.
The majority of local SPCA's and humane societies around the world are not affiliated with national organizations, as most people may presume. They depend on funds that are either privately donated, acquired from grants or through major organizations like SPCA International that seeks to develop and utilize a worldwide platform that both supports independent animal shelters and promotes the safety of animals.
There are several ways to support your local SPCA’s. First and foremost are outright monetary donations and supplies. Second are matching gifts. Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift!
Another way is to plan a future gift. Each year millions of Americans make gifts in support of charitable purposes of their choice. In today’s environment, these gifts are more important than ever in helping fund the work of charitable entities like the SPCA. Many have found that time spent considering the best ways to structure their gifts can help them make meaningful contributions while meeting personal planning goals as well.
Finally there is volunteering at your local SPCA shelter. Many who are new to animal rescue begin helping with projects outside of the facility. For instance, they sew scarves for the animals' web portraits, make small quilts and animal beds, organize supply & donation drives, and more. Most SPCA shelters will also be happy to help you find a niche here at the sanctuary, matching their needs with your skills and interests. Volunteer opportunities are wide-ranging and include everything form brushing and grooming the animals to assisting at adoption events. Most ask for a minimum commitment of time from each volunteer.
For the person who is looking for full time employment or to make a career out of the care of animals, many SPCA’s do offer full time positions. Everything from Staff Veterinarians to Animal Rescue Technicians are needed in most shelters on a regular basis. Apply early though as these positions are highly desired.
The SPCA believes that all animals deserve a chance at life in a loving, permanent home and will work tirelessly until there is a home available to every animal in need and euthanasia is necessary only as an escape from suffering, or for the protection of people and other animals.

Help with jacket...!?
Hi, I am looking for a quilted jacket that is similiar to the one the women with the horse is wearing, at the top of the page:
http://www.landsend.com/ix/womens-clothing/Women/Outerwear/Jackets-Coats/Jackets/index.html?seq=1~2~3~4~5&catNumbers=83~141~142~154&visible=1~2~1~1~1&store=le&sort=Recommended&pageSize=12&tab=2&pageSize=12&pageSize=12&pageSize=12&page=2
I would prefer a navy color, but dark green would be fine.. I want the same length as the jacket shown, not longer. The problem is I want an online shop that is UK based, can somebody help me?
Thanks a lot!

The Horse's Mouth - Criterion Collection $22.52 Rated: NASynopsis: The Horse's Mouth is an acting and a writing tour de force for Alec Guinness, who authored the screenplay in addition to starring in the film. Gulley Jimson (Alec Guinness) is an aging artist with a reputation as a genius, though he lives an impoverished life. Jimson has reached the point in his life where he no longer feels any need to moderate his irascible persona -- he has a taste for alcohol and a tendency toward boisterous spirits where the ladies are concerned -- in search of canvasses to paint and commissions that will allow him to live comfortably, and Guinness lives the role to the hilt. Released from jail for some indiscretion, he immediately begins harassing his wealthiest patron, Hickson (Ernest Thesiger), for money. When that fails, he insinuates himself into the home of a would-be patron, Sir William and Lady Beeder (Robert Coote, Veronica Turleigh), and manages to destroy their home and that of their downstairs neighbor with a huge block of stone and some help from a sculptor friend (Michael Gough). Courted by a potential buyer, he is desperate to retrieve one of his early works from his former wife, but even that prospect is closed off to him. Finally, with help from his young admirer, Nosey (Mike Morgan), his friend, Coker (Kay Walsh), and some art students eager to work with the legendary Gulley Jimson, he begins painting his largest canvas of all. The painting is completed and promptly destroyed. Jimson finally takes off in his wreck of a houseboat for the open sea, eyeing the huge hulls of the passing ships as potential canvasses to paint. As he disappears up the river, Coker looks on in panic and Nosey calls after him, declaring his admiration for Jimson and who he is and what his work means -- knowing for certain that he can't be heard. Bruce EderThe Horse's Mouth not only features a tour de force performance by Alec Guinness, but also showcases Guinness' Oscar-nominated screenplay, which takes the film beyond clichéd eccentric character study to a deeper level of examining an artist whose obsession has in many ways left him alone and ruined. Once again displaying his legendary ability to physically transform into his character, Guinness plays the aging artist Gulley Jimson as a man whose desperation to express his creativity has almost turned him into a social outcast. This is not the scenery-chewing, over-the-top performance that one would expect from such a character, but instead a subtle, heartbreaking and darkly comical exploration of the need for artistic expression. Kay Walsh and Renee Houston are also very good as the women in Gulley's life, both getting their moments to shine thanks to the fact that Guinness' central performance is not over-dominating. Director Ronald Neame makes excellent use of Sergei Prokofiev's "Lieutenant Kije" suite, and Arthur Ibbetson's color photography has a painterly feel to it. John Bratby's renditions of Gulley's paintings also work very well, reflecting Gulley's per |
