Beware of people that are simply petition-pushers. Petitions carry little weight, and online ones are easily deleted by their targets. There are so many better ways to help animals and the environment than signing online petions.  Create websites. Make comments on blogs and web articles. Write letters to editors of newspapers. Write (snail-mail) to public officials. Call them. Research info on laws, precedents, etc. Talk to people you know. Talk to people you dont know. Create Facebook and MySpace groups. Research, create, think! Whatever you can do to help the animals and/or environment, and get others to help you.

While I have created 4 web pages and a 750+ member Facebook group, one person on here is saying I do nothing because I wouldnt sign one petition she demanded. As well as blocking me... what nonsense. The research I have done has been used by many to further our causes for animals. If you feel strongly about a cause, sign a petition for it. There are so many ways to help animals besides petitions, generally more effective. I have signed 11 petitions and created two. They have their place but should be one small part of what you do for your causes, not your only action.

Look at actions and not words.
