What have YOU done for the animals today?

I wanted to start this thread to remind everyone of the little things that we all can do to make even just the smallest impact in the world....I by no means am an "Activist" but I try to do my part little by little until i decide to get more involved.......Today I talked my maw maw into getting a VEGNEWS subscription for her salon.....I also have a pro vegetarian banner on my myspace....lets not let this thread die out....we need to remind ourselves daily.

 

besides pro activism (protests, letter writing etc.) i always remember to keep my veg & peta magazines and then when im done reading them i donate them to local library so that maybe someone else will be interested in reading them as well. and every month i take some money out of my paycheck and buy donations for the local animal shelter....food, toys, cleaning agents, etc. and.....i always make sure to keep my eyes open for possible animal cruelty cases around my town. every little thing helps.

 

ea..i sve my magazines too (mainly so i can read them over and over again when bored)i may start donating them to the library or a school too......GREAT IDEA.

 

Umm, I fed them, pampered them, took care of Mr. Pigg's "old man issues," told them they were the prettiest piggies on the planet... Oh wait, you meant animals OTHER than my pets???

Today I worked on a lesson plan for my kids... we're starting a science unit on metamorphosis, and I'm working on squeezing as much protect-the-smaller-species emphasis in here as I can. I also got ahold of the director of children's events at our zoo & scheduled a behind-the-scenes tour for the kids in the reptile exhibit

uhhhh.....i didn't eat any today? hey, better than MOST of the u.s. population!

 

homeschoolmama - are your 'piggies' guinea pigs? i have 2 boys and can not wait until their "old man issues"...that is if we are talking about the same thing, yuck

my current project is trying to get my younger sister to become vegetarian

 

Yes'm, they're guinea pigs. I just posted some pics of them in the pet forum! They're under "Meet the Boys."

No, cleaning out an impaction is no walk in the park. It is SMELLY and can be painful for the lil guy if you're not careful. But it's a small price to pay for happy, healthy little sweethearts.
love,
mom

I didn't eat any, that's what I fuckin did...

 

on the average an american eats 274 pounds of meat a year...


i eat about zero pounds a year and about zero pounds a month, zero pounds a week and zero pounds today..

i did make some mashed potaotes with vegan gravy, TVP, and corn all mixed together.. yummy

 

Jeez I gotta say when I see shit like that I just want to eat more fish..Back when I was a ravenous carnivore we saw a peta protest outside a McDonalds and I wasnt even hungry BUT I had to go in get a couple of cheeseburgers and eat them right in front of the FUCKED peta people...peta is a SHIT org

 

PETA has a good goal, they just use the wrong means to get to the end that they are seeking......they have good resources though....I am not a member and won't be until they earn a better reputation, but I do regularly check their website and read their literature.

 

lol I fuckin' love you, man.

 

Well I talked an already vegetarian into going vegan if that counts

My friend, that is, and she said she already feels 100% better about herself, and her body.

 

I don't think PETA are so bad. I used to think PETA and Greenpeace were over the top gimps, but as time has gone on I realised to make the changes they want you have to bully people, as people are stupid for the most part and won't listen to you unless you force them.

 

The other day I noticed my two dogs were scratching at something in the corner in between my shed and the fence, so I went and had a look. There was a little bird behind a brick next to the fence, looking pretty scared, and the dogs were trying to get at it. I got the dogs away from there and picked the bird up, took it out the front of my house and let it go..

 

So will we be hearing about the bird flu in australia soon?
