Over the last decade, members have watched APNM grow into an organization
they can depend upon to lead the charge for a more humane New
Mexico. Through the years APNM has responded to member’s
tips working to: stop cruel state fair acts like mulediving; stop
the cruel event of horsetripping before it became entrenched in
our state; legally halt the buffalo hunt; and publicize the atrocities
of ITRI, ADC and The Coulston Foundation. APNM has addressed literally
thousands of member concerns, whether it’s delivering a doghouse
to an old pitbull tied without shelter in Quemado, providing presentations
to interested groups, or filming an ADC helicopter gunning down
coyotes to publicize this atrocious practice. Members have come
to count on APNM to be there, to care, and to take direct action.
Similarly, APNM has come to rely on its members.
Protecting and improving the lives of animals in New Mexico is
costly. Although APNM makes every attempt to keep expenses down
by seeking donated services where possible, there are regular
monthly expenses for literature, printing, staff, phones, faxes,
postage, computer-related costs, utilities, office rent, etc.,
as well as campaign-related costs.
Monthly pledges by APNM members have been extremely
helpful in allowing this organization to operate with a sense
of security, an increased momentum, and a vision for the future.
Through the pledge system, members can donate any amount they
can afford on a monthly basis. This can be done by either sending
a monthly payment or having your pledge deducted automatically
through electronic funds transfer
(EFT). Using the EFT system is APNM’s preference, because
it eliminates costly administrative and postage costs. Please
see the EFT form inserted in this newsletter. You can also call
the office if you would like to have additional forms sent to
you.
APNM will be proactive in the coming years by
helping to pass more progressive laws, promoting massive spay/neuter
efforts, and focusing on humane education for New Mexico’s
youth, just to name a few things. Please let APNM know they can
count on you to make it all happen by pledging a regular amount
on the EFT form inserted in this newsletter.
