What's the last thing you did for animal rights?
4 years ago
| Member Discussions
Hi everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been active in this group for so long!

Just wanted to see what was the last thing you did to help animals. It could be not eating meat, sending an email/letter, signing a petition, protesting, handing out leaflets, etc...

Good topic!

I hope this one lets members socialize a bit more here

Let's see, well I've been vegetarian for over a year so I've got the no meat one covered. I've signed some petitions (I post the animal rights ones here as soon as I find them), oh, and I contacted PETA about a pet store in a town not too far away from me that sells baby alligators (and they have a monkey in the store too, they don't sell monkeys as far as I know though). I gave them the store's contact info (I got a flyer from them in last Sunday's newspaper), so hopefully they'll be doing something about it soon!
Or they'll at least give me some tips on what to do.

I assisted in a research project organized by ALDF. We were looking into the legal rights of rescuers and veterinarians who were volunteering to help animals in the wake of the Katrina disaster.

You can see the results of our work here: http://www.aldf.org/Answers_for_Hurricane_FAQs.pdf (my group did questions 2a through 3e, or at least the questions in there to which we could find answers quickly; some of the answers are still being worked on by ALDF staff). It was a big project, and we only had a few days to do it.

Great stuff!

Super awesome you two! I just got back from volunteering at one of my local animal shelters. It was my first time at this animal shelter and I had so much fun! The entire time I just got to play with two puppies. I'm more of a cat person since I have five at home (we saved 3 of our cats and the other two we got from a friend of my dad's) and well, it was kind of new. I've never been alone with puppies that long so it was interesting. They're just so cute! I definitely want a dog when I get older. I know I'll have some animal around - because of their senses I'd pretty much never have to be worried about my safety.

I think I'm writing a commentary about animal testing for my school newspaper. It's my own opinion so I have no limits, but I'll do my best not to shove it in people's faces because then I might get some bad letters to the editors...
But I'm excited about it!

i have just volunteered for an animal organisation and helped them in getting donations, asking people to donate on valentine's day on the streets and just an hour ago threatened some teenagers who were throwing water balloons at stray dogs.

Thanks for sharing Ruchi and Catwoman! You're both so awesome!

I just posted a ton of action alerts on here and PETA2 (my posts on there are dominating the board, lol). Since I posted them, I took part in the majority of the ones that I hadn't yet participated in. It's surprising how many of the organizations sent out the same info.

  Go to demos...I especially love the lab animal demos here at Emory University, sign petitions, write, fax, call, politicians, donate time and money to NEAVS, HSUS, SpayGeorgia, PETA...help starys in the area, heck I adopted one after I vetted her, including spay. Help educate others about cruelty, and the right way to treat an animal, I am vegan, and slowly getting my husband to drop meat, and at least eat cage free eggs if he has to eat eggs at all.  Readoing up on new laws concerning sanimal care and husbandry here in GA. So I can open my mouth more than I do now.

    I do what I can. Right now I am getting some money together for a more reliable car so I can go to more demos and meetings.

Hmmm...Signed countless petitions , made one of my own, developed a couple of groups here on Care2 , one against animal abuse, the other for people who , like myself, work with animals, currently studying humane law and cruelty investigation, recently wrote a letter to the Governor of New York asking him not to support the expansion of a foie gras production company in that state. Finally, I've also written to my local Representatives regarding animal rights issues. Hope to do as much as I can for those who can't speak for themselves...the animals.

Awesome! Thank you all so much for posting!

The last thing I did for animal rights? Hmmm...I just signed a petition. I've been really focusing on the environment this year - I'm the leader of my high school's environmental club. Hey! Helping the environment in turn helps out everyone!

I've posted things on here for members to participate in. I haven't done anything directly very recenlty though.

I bought a tree from the Amazon with my environmental club at school. The tree stays where it is, but by purchasing it, it'll not come into human harm. If anyone is interested in this: http://rainforestforever.org/

The Last thing I did for Animal Rights

It's really a multitude of things.  First, I wrote and then called my Senators and Representative to support the Polar Bear Protection Act.  Then I started, which I am continuing even now, to post that message on each and every possible appropriate site. If you haven't done that yet, do it now.  It takes so little time.  You'll find the post on this site.  Debra D.  Keep fighting the good fight.

I promoted my petition to stop the Greyhound Racing industry. I am also getting ready to present my 1 hour oral presentation on vegetarism that I have to do next wednesday, in front of my school's environment club.

Wow, good on all of you for all your time and fantastic efforts!

The last thing I did for animal rights was to announce that I'd gone veggie/vegan to all of my groups and advocate that even if people have no intention of giving up meat and fish, that they can still make an enormous difference by boycotting cruel companies and being as animal friendly as possible.

I've also been doing many a petition and pledges.

(yes, I've got a memory like a fish) I have compiled 2 petitions which I fax off worldwide and click on animal sites to raise money everyday.

Next weekend I'm house leaflet dropping 500 mobile phone and also printer cartridge recycling envelopes together with cardboard money boxes, all for various animal charities.

I think that's it lol!

I signed this petition!
