I am so sorry Roseanne for not acknowledging you earlier!!!!!


It was one of those days.


PLEASE EVERYONE SIGN ROSEANN'S PETITION!!!!!!!!

Monday October 5, 2009, 7:35 pm
Thanks Cher for getting this out there.

Angie pulled out the petition for me and right now since I had already signed it is only 150!!!

Also Roseanne forwarded it to me...lots of great people on this site totally caring people for animals, environment etc...we can get this done, we just have to take the time...don't ever say I don't have time for this, frankly I have stopped a TON of things in my life to get things done on this site for animals and environment.

Only takes one person, one signature to make a difference and we can get it done, I truly believe we can!!!

Thanks again Cher for getting this out there!!!

Monday October 5, 2009, 11:12 pm

To CherC before you note a story it would useful if you contact the bearer of the petition because it avoids replication.I had already noted the story when you went ahead and do the same.This petition has been on the front page and as well as a popular story.Thanks to all you have signed it.

First of all I want to say I had nothing but good intentions when I posted this petition.
It hurts me a lot that a certain person is upset at me because I posted this petition and they think I did it for personal gain!!
I am not nor ever will try to take credit for someone else's work!!!!!!
All I did was try to get more signatures on a petition that I thought needed lots of attention!!!
I didn't even realize it was posted by somewone I knew.
I was only trying to help and now am being told that my apology etc is unacceptable!!!
I am very hurt by this!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday October 9, 2009, 5:45 pm


AND TO TOP IT OFF THEY DROPPED ME AS A FRIEND!!!!!!

UNBELIVABLE!!!!!

THIS IS THE THANKS I GET?????

Friday October 9, 2009, 5:47 pm


I have to say WARNING to anyone posting petitions!!!!

You think you are doing something nice but be careful!!!!

Friday October 9, 2009, 6:17 pm
Well you know what folks Cher does more around here than most others do. Do we all take the time to see if something has already been posted??? I think not. Do any of you realize she post more petitons than most here also??? And someone is gonna walk in her and badger her over this??? Do we double note stories??? I know I DO. I cannot belive this person dropped you apparently they were NOT your friend cher. OMG!!! Do you also realize when you post a petiton twice that you will get more signatures??? Heelloooooooooooooooo anybody home???? This is so crazy..I am beggining to think people are just thinking of their ownselves and NOT the animlas they are trying to support...Do you know I dont care if my crap makes to the front page!!! That is NOT what it is about it is about educating people not who can get to front page first...childish so flipping childish. Yes I am fuming mad...Dont ask people to be your friends if your going to backstab them and hurt them...Goodgod...

I hope all Chers REAL friends sends her a note of thanks for EVERYTHING SHE DOES HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Very IRRITAED GORILLY.....

Friday October 9, 2009, 6:31 pm

What harm does it do if a worthy cause is posted more than once? All causes should receive as much exposure as possible; and all posters should be happy to see that.

Friday October 9, 2009, 6:34 pm
Yes ive seen stories duplicated to mine...BIG DEAL!!!!!!!!! People miss one and they catch the next so what...arrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhh.

Just my point Justy baby...More exposure more signatures....OMG!!!

Unbeleivable....

Friday October 9, 2009, 6:38 pm
Thanks Cher and special thanks to Gorilly for sending me the link. I signed with the following message:
It is time to stop the killing of the animals for your personal gain. We will not give up or go away. We will only stop when the abuse of animals stops.
Also posted to my wall on Facebook.

Friday October 9, 2009, 6:45 pm
Thanks Brad...see more signatures for the petiton...Not that I want signatures but the fact of this post now is...double posting....

Petty and pathetic....Come on...One would be glad to have the exposure...

Vanity it just kills me....

Friday October 9, 2009, 6:53 pm
OOO for crying out loud, Cher! Im deperatly sorry you had to tolerate that trying to get help for animals.

So? for that reason I will not sign the petition... I guess just let the person who wrote the petition worry about gathering signatures to help animals. I will however note the story...

Sorry Cher, Im really not at Care2 very much anymore because of EXACTLY this type of nonsense. Care2 has changed alot. Its not one community for the animals anymore....

so sad, its only the animals that suffer because people are busy bickering. Have a nice Weekend, Cher...

Friday October 9, 2009, 6:55 pm

OH JEEPERS FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!

You guys have to know that Cher is getting all of the news out there!!! In fact, I haven't been on Care2 and read just a couple of comments and I feel supid that people don't have a clue!!!!

There are a ton of stories out there, they have different articles etc, it is CARE2's responsibility to make sure these stories are never copied, but yet they are!!!

In my humble opinion, I have never seen Cher COPY a story nor would in my small brain think that she would.

She is the entire workhorse of this network...Gotta love her for everything that she gets out there and I will fight for her until I get taken off this site.

Cher is the one person that gets some of these petitions out there, to say it is a copy of another story to me is just NUTS. Guys frankly, the more the better!!!!

All of the people that say I have seen this before, "get a life!" There are a ton of stories out there right now that are duplicates, you frankly, in my little mind should be happy that Cher is here doing what she does, getting this news and petitions out to you guys!!!

I, am upset!!!! I got attacked a couple days ago, and jumped off the site, but this is so WRONG!!!

Guys, be happy that this news is getting out there, and you should "Thank Cher for all of her HARD and tireless work"!!! I wouldn't be able to do all that she does and she does it for our animals....be grateful, instead of stating, "saw this before"...YEP and WHOOO HOOO we do see tons of news here on this site that have been out there from one person or another, get a life and just be thankful that these people are getting this news out there!!!

Cher Thanks for everything that you do!!!!! You are an entirely special person and I would beg someone to differ on that one to my!!!!

I just hope the person who did this to you realizes how wrong she is...She lost a good friend and IS gonna regret it in the long run....

Friday October 9, 2009, 7:35 pm

Friday October 9, 2009, 7:38 pm

Friday October 9, 2009, 7:39 pm
OK TOM...before I jump out of the site, you go to the person's profile and look them up. You can request a friend, but, some people don't always respond.

Just learned a TON FROM CHER and she is the Absolute best, when I had a question she was always right there to answer me.

Friday October 9, 2009, 7:41 pm

Big goirlly Hugs to you ALLLLLLLLLL

Friday October 9, 2009, 10:34 pm
Cher - I'm so sorry you're dealing with this after all you do. I wish I could make it better. You set a fabulous example and are my role model. Sending kitty hugs just because they never hurt.

Gorilly Girl, I sent a Green Star to Thomas and it's from both of us. Sent all I could, and for those who already got a green star this week, I'm sending kitty whiskers == ^ ^ == !!

For petitions, the more the better, because it's about getting it signed. Who does anything on this site for personal gain? Signing petitions takes time and effort but we spend the time because causing positive change is worth it. I would hope no one would refuse to accept a sincere apology. Right?

The USA causes more harm in the world than China does. Time to use your political power as U.S. citizens to change YOUR OWN country.

And if you eat meat, have dairy products, have non-free-range eggs, use leather, support pedigree (non-mongrel) dog breeding (e.g. by choosing a pedigree dog), etc., then you can do more for animal rights by changing what YOU do.

Saturday October 10, 2009, 12:43 am
Signed.Thank you Cher.Last year I have created 2 petitions but I was happy when a friend of mine posted this petitions on the news.I was get more signatures!!!!

Saturday October 10, 2009, 3:05 am
To me personally since I deal with Asia in particular, it does not matter who signs and how many are out there. I have signed many and will do so with this one to. The main purpose is to get the help for the furkids there. My friends who live in China need this support and the more the better. After all, it's for the cats and dogs that need ALL of our voices. Thak you to all and everyone that have petitions and who care.

Saturday October 10, 2009, 5:49 am


To the poster who is worrying about other people publicising 'her' petition:

This is a shocking ignorance. Cher takes the time to check through petitions - and then brings them to our attention. I don't care how many repeats of a petition is posted. Once a story drops off the front page very few people actually finds it again. Viral networking is just that - VIRAL. And how does the VIRAL work? By repeated exposure all over the internet. God bless those who take the time to VIRAL it repeatedly.

My FireBull group petition is now listed on several sites - all over the world. I don't care a hoot if my name is not mentioned. I am not here for the ego trip - a petition is about the issue - not the writer of the petition or anyone who publicises it.

And for those who freak out about duplicate stories: The same story could have and often do - a different URL on the internet as more blogs and news sites publicises the story. So yes, the same story can appear twice here at Care2 - the URLs going to different web sites.

I have noticed that some posters though go out of their way to duplicate News stories ((I'm not talking about petitions now) - instead of helping to publicise some of those important issues - keeping it on the FRONT page as long as possible. Two stories about the same issues are much, more difficult to reach front page or stay on the front page than one.

One tactic we do use for important issues is that after a week or so (when the story has dropped from the front page) is to repost about the same issue, but using a different angle, i.e. URL. There is no sin in this either.

For those here at Care2 who are in it for EGO - I plainly tell you - get a life away from y our computer. One's inner self should not be so insecure that one freaks out when someone else promotes your cause. The internet is vast and no man/woman by himself/herself can ever reach the entire internet.

If anyone is interested in how group effort works to publicise a petition then have a peep at FireBull group. Between the hosts and the members we are contacting every animal issue blog, every animal rights organisation and pleading with them to publicise the FireBull petition. And we work damn hard at it. Do we ask for kudos or that 'our name' be chained onto any links or publicising? Dear God no! We ask them to link our petition, and if possible to tell the world about our group and we ask for help to make our group more effective.

Because of the downright bitchiness here at Care2 we have lost some great members in the year plus since I've been here. To those who continuously practise backyard politics here - you do yourself and the causes we espouse a disservice.

Put your egos in a sack, and go and bury it in your backyards. Then ask for forgiveness from all those to whom you've ever made snide remarks, to those where you have deliberately copied stories without reason (find your own news) and to those where you have sought ego recognition when they have dared to publicise your petition.

And note - no one has dibs on any animal horror stories - least of all the issue of some Chinese folks eating their cats and dogs.... There are a gzillion sites on the internet about this.

EEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday October 10, 2009, 6:34 am

Aplogies for the rant - but I'm sure we've all had it with petty backyard politics here at Care2 And thank you to everyone who takes the time and effort to get the news out.

Cher, TY for this and while sometimes I don't get them all (petitions to sign), I do try to get to them. YOU do an awesome job on this care2 site, as well as other friends. Who cares???!! if there's duplicating/noting/repeating/signing other petitions, etc., as long as the job gets done?? I've done that as well in posting a story. Signed and noted. Thanks again everyone.
