ADOPT AN ANIMAL

If you are going to welcome an animal into your home, it is important to get them from the right place.
It is also important to recognize that you are taking on a life and must be willing to completely commit yourself to their well being. It should be along the same lines as having a child. Animals live for a long time. They need love, shelter, care, attention, food, water, and commitment just like all of us. Millions of animals are in shelters waiting for you to save them.
They say people with animal companions live longer. They will give you peace and love. They make you feel calm. They will be happy to see you at the end of the day no matter what.
If you are ready to make the commitment, please make sure you do the research and go to the right place.

Here is a link to an amazing adoption center in Canton, Michigan. The Homeward Bound Rescue League is a non-profit, no kill rescue. They accept all breeds. It’s an all volunteer organization. This is the kind of place you want to go to.

After years of hard work, PCRM was able to convince the University Of Wisconsin School Of Medicine to stop using LIVE PIGS in student training.
Now they need our help to save frogs, rabbits, and rats from live testing at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Ninety-five percent of U.S. med schools have stopped using live animals. Encourage MCW to do the same.
The letter is filled out. Just click and that is it.

Food For Thought

Oh man this is awesome.

One of the guys from the Southeastern Michigan Animal Rights Team (S.M.A.R.T.) that I volunteer with was taking donations to put up a billboard to promote going vegetarian. The billboard poses the question “Why love one but eat the other?” with a picture of a dog next to a pig. He has done this before and it’s a great cause wherever the billboard ends up but this placement could not have been better. It’s right on top of a Tubby’s and next to a Wendy’s!! Hahaha!!

This is in Ferndale.

Here is a link to S.M.A.R.T. It’s a great site and a great group of people. You can do as little or as much as you want. www.gosmart.org/
