Imagine you're a Labrador Retriever.

Imagine you're a Labrador Retriever.

A Golden. A German Shepherd, Frenchie, or a doodle of this kind or that.

A loveable mutt nobody can put a name to.

Perhaps even a Beagle — like the fifteen hundred just brought out of a research barn in Wisconsin, who had never in their lives stood on grass.

Now imagine you're brought to a serene, medically based campus to heal and be socialized, so you are a good candidate for adoption into a forever home.

There is just such a quiet, peaceful place in the making—the Greater Birmingham Humane Society’s Oxmoor campus.

GBHS has been working for a decade to raise the tens of millions of dollars needed to create the perfect environment for Beagles and all of the other dogs and cats who need help now and into the future.

Now suppose a foreign corporation run by a tech billionaire builds an AI Mega Factory right next door.

Every hour of every day, this massive, industrial-scale facility would emit 1 Billion Btu of heat, inescapable noise, and electromagnetic radiation, while depleting area water resources by the millions of gallons.

Never mind that Jefferson County has suffered drought 17 of the last 20 years.

That's exactly what will happen unless the people of Birmingham put a stop to it.

Why is this so important?

Because when dogs and cats are rescued, they need an environment built for healing. Somewhere they can do the long, hard work of learning to just be a dog or a cat again.

That’s why we need places like the forty thousand square foot GBHS campus on the shoulder of Red Mountain Park, with lakes, woods, a walking trail and an open plaza — designed around the fresh air and the kind of peace and quiet no mere kennel can offer.

The place is an essential part of the medicine.

And why we cannot allow a 300 megawatt AI Mega Factory to thwart the zoning law in Birmingham’s Oxmoor Valley. Or locate in the middle of a neighborhood that was never zoned for this industrial-scale development.

Even a border collie can’t read a zoning ordinance or testify in a hearing. So someone has to speak for them — and now you can.
