My commitment to you: The Cherokee blood which runs through my veins believes in the spirit of the animals. The goal of this site is to protect those who cannot protect themselves but I am just one person. If you would be kind enough to vote for my site whenever you can, that will bring the rank up and more people will find out how to help the animals. It is not about winning a topsite, it is about winning a war against cruelty against animals.
I wish for you dohiya (peace),
~Margaret
I would like to thank my dear friend Karin from JoJo's World for the beautiful graphic. You may take this graphic if you link it back to Animals-the causes:

There are far too many animals being put to sleep because people do not neuter their pets. They are allowed to breed at will. The consequenences are that innocent puppies, cats and even lost dogs are most of the time put in a gas chamber. Most Animal Shelters have not yet began the practice of lethal injection, can you imagine the cost?
The numbers are stagering. Just call your local Animal Shelter and ask how many animals they put to sleep a week and how.

URGENT: 8/22/05 PLEASE SIGN this petition! DOGS BEING USED AS SHARK BAIT!!!
Dogs are being used as live bait on the French island and holiday destination La Réunion! This is absolutely horrifying and not worthy of anyone calling themselves human beings... Please sign this French petition (click "sign petition" to get details in English). I don't know if any international animal rights groups are aware of this and working on the case, but please spread the word! Thanks!
You will see a place that says sign the petition (of course, you may speak French, I don't) and it will pop up...I couldn't stick around to see them skewered myself...China is still skinning them alive (See Voice4Dogs below) and now this! Who will speak for the animals? ~mcr

Why save whales? This is one of the best explanations I have ever read. If you read it, you will be touched.
Then please go to the next link and take action.
Please don't leave without clicking on the above banner.
This has got to be one of the worse cases of animal abuse that I have ever seen. What makes it even worse is that it is LEGAL in China! I have nothing against Chinese people but this practice is heinous and must be stopped. Join me, help me find out if these 'products' are entering the U.S. through our free trade agreement. As of this moment I ban all such products from China. After checking, I have suspect products on my home shelves. It makes me want to become Rambo for a little while. Right after I cried and then feel like throwing up.
UPDATE: I have been in contact with Sandra Edwards from Voice4Dogs:
Dear Margaret,
Thank you for adding our banner/link to your causes site.
Iv'e been to your site and delighted to see that youv'e put on it
asking others to join you find out if these 'products' are entering the
U.S! - because sadly, they are - even though dog/cat furs and skins has been
banned in the U.S. since 2002 - these items are entering the U.S. illegally.
I hope this helps: On November 9, 2000, the Dog and Cat Protection Act
of 2000 was signed, prohibiting "....imports, exports, sale, manufacture,
offer for sale,transportation, and distribution in the United States of dog and cat
fur products." e..
A reward of $500 will be offered for any
information leading to the successful prosecution for violations of the Act.
Under the Customs Modernization Act, the 'importer' bears the responsibility
to provide complete and accurate information to Customs regarding all
imported merchandise.
For further information:
In the US to report a possible violation of the Dog and Cat Protection Act of 2000, please contact
the Commercial Enforcement Branch of Trade Programs,
Office of Field Operations of the United States Customs Service at (202) 927-0300.
Report Suspicious Activity to 1-800-BE-ALERT
Best regards,
Sandra Edwards
NOTE: The latest that I have heard from Voice from Dogs is that they are working on new ways to stop the imports. China has started new labeling. Please click on Voice for Dogs for the most recent information. We must stop this inhumane practice!
