[ send green star] [ flag for review] Jackie P. H-E-L-L-O to all !!!!!! Thursday, 8:57 PM Hi there. I was invited by Melanie B and want to say Thanks for the invite.I may never have found it by myself. A little about me.........I have been married for 16 years, I have 2 girls,ages 6 & 7.They are quite the handful. Along with them I have 3 dogs;Plott hound,Bassett hound and Shar pei X. 3 cats,2 ferretts,2 rats,1 guinea pig,a beta fish,4 chickens and a rooster. Obviously I love animals.All of my animals have been rescue cases.It is a part of who I am.I work with several animal shelters,and do foster care. Some day I would like to start my own sanctuary,but for now I stick with helping other organizations out. Working with these places I have seen some really sad stuff.I have seen first hand what complete disregard some people have for the life of an animal. That is why I am happy to be a part of this group. We really do need tougher penalties for animal abusers. To many people get away with it or they get a slap on the hand. Sorry, I have a tendancy to get going and just keep on goinglol Its nice to be a part of the group and I look forward to meeting alot of you. [ send green star]

Susan F.	August 29, 2006 10:13 AM Hi, I just want to thank Simone for the invitation. I believe one person can make a difference, but when you have a group-the difference can be made quicker, especially when you come to the aid of those who cannot speak for themselves. I believe God or whatever you wish to call your higher power put all of us here on earth for a purpose, one of them being to look out for each other, especially his four legged ones. Hope everyone has a good day and thanks! [ send green star] [ accepted]

Salama S.	Hello from Sydney September 02, 2006 12:00 AM Hi Ross, I am so pleased that I 'met' you today and thank you for inviting me to join this group. My name is Salama I live in Sydney. I am deeply distressed over the level of animal abuse that has become part of our society today. If we cannot learn to appreciate and value animals we cannot ever appreciate human beings. We have become so desensitised to suffering and cruelty and animals cannot speak for themselves. [ send green star] [ accepted]

	Welcome all new faces.. September 09, 2006 9:32 AM and to ALL new members. Hi Salama! Its great to meet you too! I know what you mean...and more. Ive just had another ugly encounter with a drunken animal abuser living across my street.Some of the other members and co-hosts know about my problem with this a-hole. I am at a loss what to do but to go at great lengths to have him put away!.He came to our gate and verbally threatened us again.He told us he doesnt care about the Animal authorities at all. So he has yet again challenged me and my family!. No worries. See in Malaysia, like it or not, the Bumiputras (Malays) are the ruling government and people. Fair or not its reality. I dont agree with much of it even though I am a Malay myself. But in cases such as this, I will take advantage of my status as a Malay(Bumiputra) and take this a-hole the whole nine-yards if you wants too! Sad isnt it that such people exist. And he abuses his animal at the same time. Dont know who else he is abusing?!! He has NO idea who he is challenging...and I always win! [ send green star] [ accepted]

I 'm happy to be amongst people who feel the same as I do. Its not easy doing things alone, its definately best to unit for a common cause and give a loud voice it and I'm hoping this will be our result in this group. United we stand and you know the rest. We are here to support each other with enthusiaism, for the same reason, to set the animals free from abuse. Thanks for accepting me. Eleni [ send green star] [ accepted]

Jen H.	Hello January 17, 2007 7:07 AM I have been with this group sometime but noticed I haven't said hello before. I am Jenny from the UK. I think it is appalling and distressing to read about the terrible things people do to animals and I am sure petitions signed by lots of people on here must do some good. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Samantha O.	Just saying HI January 17, 2007 7:14 AM Hi Everyone.Thank you for the invitation to this wonderful group--with probably the saddest of stories,but the best and most determined of members. I am so fantastically happy to be here among so many like-minded people where hopefully we can make a difference for some of the animals and alleviate some of the suffering. I must admit I find many,most, of the stories soul-destroying, so I usually cry until I can't cry any more then I start writing letters and signing petitions and emailing politicians. I fight every animal cause I see but I am really trying to abolish sow stalls and vastly improve conditions and procedures in intensive farming at present. I have found putting a concentrated effort into one place yields better results than trying to tackle 50 causes all at once (which of course I do because you can't miss even one animal out that needs help) and the pigs really need to get out of the stalls.Even if it is only for an hour a day, that would be a start. The mind-numbing insanity that befalls them and all other unnaturally confined creatures is horrific and well past cruel and unusual. Animal husbandry and animal farming is not a forestry industry and these animals cannot,should not,MUST NOT be grown like that; they must be afforded the R.S.P.C.A.s 5 freedoms. The same for all confined creatures. If we cannot abolish these evil systems then perhaps we can at least get reforms in that allow them to express their natural behaviours,and eliminate the useless code of conduct/ practice and extend animal cruelty laws to ALL of these animals not just a select few. They are ALL suffering,not just a select few. I find it so ironic how long it takes government to look at a proposal to pass a bill where animal wefare is concerned (ESPECIALLY if it is a 'food product') then give extended time to implement useless reforms all the while these animals are suffering intensely. I don't believe any 'normal' person would think it hurts an animal more when it is owned as a pet than when equal or worse pain is applied when the animal is behind locked doors. This attitude of having no cruelty laws for farmed/produce animals is akin to exceptional neglect and therefore abuse and therefore condones cruelty of the worst kind. We need to make the powers that be admit they are doing the wrong thing and get them to improve conditions and impose harsh financial penalties and forfeiture of the animals in the worst cases, the same as domestic/pet animals. If you abuse it you will be banned for a certain period from owning animals and there goes their livelihoods for x months, no income. People would soon stop abusing their animals if they were hit hard in the pocket /chequebook,and take better care of them. Let's hope some of it comes to fruition this year. Great work all you animal lovers. Nice to be here with you all. Many voices can make a loud and compelling arguement. Samantha O. BYE! [ send green star] [ accepted]
	May 01, 2007 6:49 PM 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. [ send green star] [ accepted]
