                      <LI>The license plates were sold with the representation 
                      that the money would be used for spay/neuter and not be 
                      held in an account to balance the State Budget. 
                      <LI>Spay/neuter funds are needed now since postponement 
                      would only allow more and more unwanted puppies and 
                      kittens to be born.  A dollar spent now is much more 
                      effective in reducing pet overpopulation than a dollar 
                      spent two, three or four years from now. 
                      <LI>Not spending the money as promised is tantamount to 
                      consumer fraud.  It is both unfair and unethical to 
                      misrepresent the way these funds are appropriated.  
                      If this were done by a private company they would be fined 
                      by the Texas Attorney General. 
                      <LI>The Budget deficit is estimated at over $25 billion 
                      and $1 million is not going to make a difference in the

                      dogs and cats lives that will be 
                      saved.            

                      <LI>When it becomes known what is happening to the money 
                      in the Account people will quit buying Animal Friendly
