About Me I joined Care2 last year but just recently returned. I have been so busy with other projects I havent had time (or a decent computer) to continue everything. I am bac though and have met some wonderful people here!! I wish I hadnt stayed gone for so long!
The most important thing of all in my life is my passion for animals. I believe in respecting other living things~ I dont buy anything that is tested on animals or has any animal ingredients. I do not wear animals. I do not eat them anymore either, and I am healthier, physically, and emotionally. Im not perfect.. I am still learning everyday. Exploiting animals is one of the ugliest, ignorant, and most destructive things we humans can do not only to the animals, but to our own health, the environment, and the health of the earth itself. ********** coexist respectfully ********** I am a local Representative of Dogs Deserve Better Rescue and this is a full time volunteer "job" for me. DOGS DESERVE BETTER is a nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained dog, and bringing our 'best friend' into the home and family. DDB is a voice for chained and penned dogs, whose sadness speaks only through the eyes. As the days become years, many of these dogs sit, lay, eat, and defecate within the same 10-foot radius. Chained by the neck, they exist without respect, love, exercise, social interaction, and sometimes even basic nourishment. They live as prisoners, yet long to be pets. Would you for one second choose to live the life of these dogs? No matter what reason is given, the bottom line is that it is NOT ok to chain a dog for life. Dogs should not have to live chained or penned as prisoners, yearning for a place in a family, craving acknowledgement, respect, and love. They DESERVE BETTER, and we as caretakers have the obligation to provide it for them. Please consider today how you can help the dogs in your neighborhood. If you see a chained dog or a penned dog daily, it is time to take action. Please join Dogs Deserve Better today in taking a stand against this mistreatment of dogs. Volunteer your time or start a branch of Dogs Deserve Better in your area. Become a member and help us prove there is strength in numbers. Help with community awareness by hanging posters, showing the chained dog video, wearing one of our colorful t-shirts, or applying a sticker or magnet to your window/car to educate and provoke thought in those around you. Place brochures and doorhangers throughout the community. Donate to our cause through the donations link or via snail mail. Take a stand when you see dogs living chained or penned. Speak gently to the caretakers, sharing your convictions and information about Dogs Deserve Better and ways they can improve life for their companion. If you are not comfortable approaching caretakers of chained dogs or penned dogs, use the doorhangers or send us the names and addresses of the caretakers and we will send information in the mail. You will remain anonymous. If you are here because you currently keep your dog chained or penned, we applaud your efforts to give him/her a better life. If you need help, contact us at info@dogsdeservebetter.org. We will help you. Start changing the way you and your community think about the chaining and penning of dogs today. Join Dogs Deserve Better to take a stand and make life right for all dogs everywhere! NO CHAINS!

My Philosophy
What Gives Me Hope vegetarians/vegans, animal activists, people who help rescue animals on any level...
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Make it a felony to hurt any animal for any reason. (Dangerous animals attacking would be humanely caught and euthanized if they couldnt be rehabilitated, of course)
What/who changed my life and why A PBS documentary on factory farming...It was so casual about the suffering I cried the whole way through and those images are burned into my memory...It was horrifying to watch these people with no souls walk past the animals crying for freedom. They were in helland here was no help.
What Bugs Me Those who hurt others weaker than them, indifference, cruelty, Any one that would hurt an animal, People who chain/pen up thier dogs
