Hello, my friends! I just wanted to take a moment to point out a new thread I've added: "Inspiring Reads." I'm hoping members will use this thread to post books, articles, poems, etc. as well as use it as a tool to find things to read.  In this way, perhaps we can use them as starting points for group discussions about conservation and animal welfare issues.  Also, in the coming weeks, I am hoping to begin a member survey to get some insight into how often and in what ways members utilize the group site.  That's all for now!
