WINGS

2.3

out of 5

I'm sadie* and I'm new here. I'd like to just start out by talking a little about what I feel is the most important thing I'm doing right now is. Ever since Jr. High I've been vegetarian. I'm not the kind that is in-your-face-i'm-better-than-you. And in fact that bothers me when I see it. I like animals a lot and since early this last Summer I've been making the hour commute to our nearest animal shelter to help with the cats there. I know it might not seem like too much, but it really feels like I'm making a difference. I usually clean out their cages, show cats to potential adopters, and help people in chosing a companion for their family (it is quite a challenge usually, as every cat is different and every family is different. The chemistry has to be just so in order to ensure things will work out). It's been proven that animals can be very beneficial for people. And I guess I want to help make people more beneficial to animals.

I'm one too. I haven't been one for to long. I live in a house with a lot of animals so I know how you feel about the cages and such. Can you believe that people actually do that though? Do they have no shame? Keep at it!

  • Allison6463 : Welcome JunkTeen and RecyclingLove. You two should check out the forums. They are a great way to connect with other members. Also, you can post a journal telling of some of the activism you partake in, as well as announcements and links. Be sure to check all of those out! :]
