Amanda M.	Introductions March 13, 2006 5:21 AM Hello, Thanks for the invitation to this group. This is a beautiful interface that someone took a lot of time setting up! I really like the idea of a group specifically for animal education (read that as education for humans about animals) and petitions. I agree with the authors that by people continuing to have a voice, petitioning, writing letters, making phone calls, we are heard. In fact I got a personal letter back this week from US Congressman Doggett, who I wrote out of deperation because my own Congress people are so unresponsive, in pleading a case for taking action against USDA for ignoring the laws passed to prevent horse slaughter and to support new legislation to end this practice for good. It shows that they are reading our letters. (He also supports this legislation by the way.) but even those Congress people who dont support our beliefs are listening and tallying our communications so that they have an idea of public sentiment. They always want to be on the bandwagon so lets swing as much support as we can our way. We will begin a reversal in an environment that permits animal abuses. Thanks to all of you! for caring so much about animals. Big hugs! [ send green star] [ accepted]

Tiffany S.	Hello, Hello!! March 14, 2006 4:48 PM *Hello Ladies and Thank you all for joining and participating in our group here! It is so wonderful to know that so many people care about animals !!* Not all of our petitions come from care2. You can search the web for animal petitions to be signed or go to popular animal sites and some of them may have a petition or two! Just look around and also crosspost from other groups you are in or from emails you receive!! Any special news that you come across about animals that you think is worthy to share please post that also.. whether it be positive or negative (meaning vulgar). It is always nice to stay informed about your critter friends too! Knowledge is a good way of supporting them. *So a special thank you to Jacqueline, my dear Mystic, Jennifer, and Cher for joining and your hard work. We all know how hard Cher has been working !!* *And a very,very specail thanks to Kym for inviting so many grest paople!!!!* [ send green star]

Just to let you know a little about myself, I have been working for years now to educate people about companion birds.

MADARTIST O.	hello March 15, 2006 5:49 PM Kym, again, thanks for the star. Just wanted to introduce myself, a dog lover and general animal lover too.

Cheers, Jacki [ send green star] [ accepted]
Tiffany S.	Kym.. you have been busy!! March 15, 2006 7:43 PM *Welcome Jan and Jacki!!!* Jan, your job sounds very interesting! You could start a new thread at anytime to tell us about it.

Liena K.	July 06, 2006 5:03 AM Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Liena, living in Latvia. I work in 2 dog shelters and i`m very active member of 2 Latvia`s animal protection groups. I am the youngest person in Latvia who have ever got cynological sertificate and i study dogs and humans psychology by myself, so in shelter i work with dogs who are aggresive or frightened because of having psychical traumas. As you see dogs are what i care the most. I have a dog who have suffered from violence first 6 years of his life, i took him from shelter before 5 years and now only scars on his body reminds about his past. I have two cats (mama and her daughter) i took them from street before 2 months. As a bonus for my little zoo is 2 guinea pigs wich i took from shelter too. At the moment i`m fighting about philippine dogs, Latvia`s organisations didn`t want to support it so now i`m collecting signs for my petition and actually i don`t care that noone helps me and there is no guarantee that it will be successful but at least i feel that i`m doing something for them! Actually it`s possible that next year i`ll move to philippines ti live there BUT how can i live there knowing that maybe some dog is being killed at my neighboors house for dinner? I belive that together we WILL change all these things in future (near or far future - it`s up to ourselfs). If i can help somehow feel free to ask, i don`t bite, i`lldo as much as i can. And sorry for my english, still learning it =] [ send green star] [ accepted]
Amanda M.	Liena from Latvia July 15, 2006 9:46 AM Hello Liena, You are right. one person doing something can make a huge difference. You are brave to be trying to make a change in your country and not getting alot of support. I hope that people here can support you in some way, if nothing else people who will talk about these issues. I wish you well and Im glad to know there are people like you in the world who really care about animals and take a risk to make changes to help them. Talk to you soon! Amanda [ send green star] [ accepted]

Dave&Tami B.	Hello December 01, 2006 12:21 PM I'm Tami, growing up a very lonely child, I learned the unconditional love of a horse. He saw me through thick and thin, was my confident (he never worried and I got it off my chest), and my best friend. His name was Royal Flight. Dave and I were in agony over his death. Then, we were lucky enough to find a shetland sheepdog, Frisky. I love Dave dearly, but, there was tremendous comfort in Frisky. I suffered a bout of PTSD, and he helped through the hard times when Dave was not home. I swear he knew the exact thing to do to help me through the panic. He lived a long happy life, and tried to stay living even after having terminal cancer. He always thought of me first, and his suffering second. After his death, we found a loving lap dog shetland sheepdog, Bandit, who only wanted to love and be loved. That help ease the pain over the loss of Frisky. 2 years ago, I found an abandoned 1 week old freezing kitten. Dave and I were delighted he survived. He had some injured an eye, and it did not open until he was 2 months old. Like my self, he has physical and mental scars. He has taught me the life is not about the pain and the past, there may be scars, the the future is much better. [ send green star] [ accepted]
anonymous	Introduction May 01, 2007 8:18 AM Hi. I am Jim. I spend most of my time behind the scenes providing income to charities. I give any legitimate nonprofit a completely free way to raise money with no effort. I basically do everything for them to make them successful. I have over 1,500 of the best-known internet merchants on board. Whenever anybody shops online, these stores send up to 25% of the sale to either an enrolled charity, or a basket of the best charities serving each cause. I get great satisfaction knowing that I am able to support so many good charities with the income they so vitally need. [report anonymous abuse] [ accepted]
