THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO HELP THE CAUSE TO SAVE ANIMALS. I KNOW WITH TODAYS ECONOMY IT MAY BE HARD TO GIVE TO CHARITY. WELL MANY ANIMAL SHELTERS ARE IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS !!!! THE ANIMAL SHELTERS ARE HAVING TO CUT JOBS AS WELL AND FUNDING IS TIGHT WITH ANIMAL ABUSE ON THE RISE. THEY NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR EVERYTHING FROM BATHING, GROOMING, KENNEL CLEANING AND EXCERCISING !!!! IF YOU CAN DONATE PLEASE GO TO WWW.ASPCA.ORG AND SIGN UP !!! THE MORE HELP THESE SHELTERS GET THE MORE NO KILL SHELTERS WILL COME ABOUT !!!! IF YOU CAN POSSIBLY ADOPT A PET IT SEEMS THE OLDER THE ANIMAL IS THE LESS CHANCE IT HAS TO BECOME ADOPTED OUT. WE AS VOLUNTEERS CAN HAVE MORE ONE ON ONE TIME WITH THESE ANIMALS AND MAYBE A FAMILY WITH KIDS MAY FEEL BETTER ABOUT ADOPTING AN OLDER PET !!!! THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS DIE EACH DAY DUE TO HUMAN CRUELTY AND NEGLECT. MANY OF THESE ANIMALS THAT ARE RESCUED ARE UTHANIZED AS SOON AS THEY COME IN DUE TO THE CRUELTY THEY HAVE INDURED AND SIMPLY OVER CROWDING. WE AS HUMANS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS SITUATION. STOP BUYING IVORY, FUR OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT THAT AN ANIMAL MAY BE SLAUGHTERD OVER FOR THE SAKE OF FASHION AND HUMAN SATISFACTION. ANIMALS BRING US SO MUCH LOVE AND JOY IN OUR LIVES, WHY SHOULDNT WE BE OBLIGATED TO GIVE BACK TO THEM. HAVE YOUR ANIMAL SPADE OR NUETERD. IF MONEY IS A PROBLEM THEY HAVE NEW PROGRAMS IN PLACE. YOU JUST HAVE TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND CARE ENOUGH TO CALL !!! GOOGLE EXTINCT SPECIES AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED ON HOW MANY AND THE TYPES OF ANIMALS THAT ARE ON THERE. WE ARE THE SUPREME BIENGS OR LIKE TO THINK WE ARE SO LET START ACTING LIKE IT AND GET OFF OUR BEHINDS AND GIVE BACK TO THOSE LIL CRITTERS THAT CANT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES !!!!!
