As ISAR’s supporters know, every week we communicate our message and current activities to thousands of people throughout the world via our e-newsletter, postal newsletter, website, blog, Twitter, and online communities such as Facebook and Myspace.
Our most current program is the production of Internet “movies” that will implement our job description: “Law, Legislation and Education Benefitting Companion Animals.”
Our first “movie,” using characters and voices already familiar to millions of Internet users around the world—entitled “Eyesore or ISAR”—introduces to our organization those people who don’t know us (in less than three minutes!).
Please take that little time to access “Eyesore or ISAR.”
If you like it as much as we do, please forward it to as many people as you can, asking them to do the same. See ISAR's latest blog "Eyesore or ISAR" for sharing instructions.

ISAR's prewritten letters-to-the-editor, like ISAR's public service announcements, prove to be an effective means of educating others about the pet overpopulation crisis without cost. ISAR has form letters available (free of charge) on subjects ranging from dog and cat overpopulation, puppy mills, tethered/outside dogs, and the importance of a United Nations Spay/Neuter Stamp.
We ask our supporters to please copy ISAR with your letter after it has been published by your local newspaper for our records.
Professor Henry Mark Holzer interviews Lt. Col. Mark Eichelman about his recent article in 16 Animal Law 153 (2009) entitled "Ringling Brothers on Trial: Circus Elephants and the Endangered Species Act," which discusses the dismissed case against Ringling Brothers circus for allegedly abusing the elephants it exhibits. Much of the Holzer-Eichelman discussion centers around the legal problem of "standing to sue"--that is, who is entitled to bring a case against humans on behalf of animals.
