Don't Give Up On Us



We're sorry to say that, despite the effort of many humans, we (baby seals in Canada) will still be hunted and unnecessarily killed this year. The hunt will begin within the next few days. There is nothing you can do to save some of us, but you can start fighting now to stop next years' hunt, which will save some of us and our children.

PLEASE don't buy Canadian seafood. If you boycott Canadian seafood, it will send an important message that can save our lives. For more information on Canadian seafood companies, go to http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=136484350&blogID=202744445&MyToken=b1fcd43e-c04b-4ccb-a130-1555fb19b574

Thank you for trying, and please don't give up on the lucky ones of us who will survive this. Please say a prayer for those of us that won't.

Adopt-a-Rescued-Guinea-Pig Month


We are cute, loving and very intelligent pets who need a permanent home to call our own. We don't take up a lot of space and are easy to care for, but need a cage big enough so we can move around. We don't require a lot of time and are great with kids! Go to www.petfinder.com, enter your zip code, and rescue one of us in your area today!

Companies Who Test on Animals

We are animals used in research for common household products and cosmetics. We have stuff sprayed into our eyes, injected in us, rubbed against us, and sometimes we die. This is not necessary, as there are many products out there that are not tested on us, that work very well. Please help save our lives by not buying products from the list of companies below, which do not value our lives, just because we are animals. We have feelings too. Thank you for saving us.

Please adopt us


We are homeless dogs. We are living in a shelter and want to find someone with whom we can share our endless love. Some of us came from very difficult backgrounds, either as strays living on the street or in homes, being mistreated by our owners. Some of us come from loving families who could no longer take care of us for some reason. We are all sad. We love the people who saved us, and are grateful to have a roof over our heads and food, but we miss cuddling on a couch or in bed with an owner and greeting them with love and affection at the end of a long day at work. We promise to be good dogs if you would give us a chance. Go to www.petfinder.com to find one of us in your area to adopt. Thank you for being our angel of light!


Love, Homeless Dogs Everywhere


The picture attached to this entry is one of the many wonderful dogs you can find on www.petfinder.com

Tell the FDA you don't want to eat cloned meat

We are clones, being created to be sold as food. Most Americans would rather not eat milk and meat from cloned animals like us, but for some reason the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering allowing us and our products to be sold in markets near you, without stating on the label that it is from us clones.

Because we are clones, many of us are unhealthy and suffer needlessly. We die at a young age, suffer birth defects, and are treated with antibiotics. Cloned products from us have not been shown to be healthy, so please sign this online petition to save us or at least keep yourself healthy by asking the FDA to label our meat as being cloned.

We need 30,000 signatures by April 2, 2007.

Thank you!

Save Baby Seals from Slaughter


We are happy baby seals living in Canada. Last year, we watched hunters come and kill over 330,000 of our friends and family by clubbing them, dragging them over the ice and skinning them, sometimes while they were still alive. They are coming back this year, and we are very scared.

It is legal in Canada to kill us when we are about 12 days old, when we have not yet learned how to swim and cannot defend ourselves or escape.

The sealing industry claims that it is killing more of us because of an increased demand for fur. Although the U.S. banned the sale of seal fur in 1972, anyone wearing the fur of animals is responsible for creating a demand for fur, which pushes Canadian hunters to club more of us each year.

Please help us by sending a pre-written e-mail to our government officials, who are supposed to protect us, but are allowing us to be killed instead. We need 50,000 of you to speak out for us because we can't do it ourselves.

Thank you!
