The Journal
Update?
Merry Christmas everyone. <3 Updates to the site and DAFAC coming soon, now that the Christmas rush is over and I should only have two other major busy days left.


Hello guys.
I meant to work on the site this weekend, I really did. But I'm having sleeping problems and other health issues, so bare with me. At least I'm sitting down to write this journal eh? That's something. I might even get some work done tonight, but I doubt that. I'm dead beat tired.

So, I guess you're wondering if that was seriously all I made this journal to say. Don't worry. There's more to it than that.

A big thank you to =Mahado07 for the subscription. It is very much appreciated.

Secondly, take a look at this article. [link]
It is long, yes. But well worth the read and very informative. If I weren't already a vegetarian, this would certainly make me rethink my seafood intake.
The writer's blog is also worth keeping an eye on, as she does many article on animal rights and abuse.

Also, this article is well worth a look. [link]
It is kind of graphic, but not worse than some things we’ve shown.

I need two things from you guys.

1. Questions for the FAQ would be nice. Next time Fallen and I are both on msn I'll probably work on the FAQ with her, until then though, be nice if I could get some questions from you!

2. Also, if you guys have any art that you would be willing to have featured on the site, that would be awesome. Credit will be given, don't worry!

I majorly need to update the member list. In fact, I'll probably just delete it and redo it... That'll only take a couple hours. Heh.

Featured Animal
Hey, Autumn here!
Once a week, we will feature a different endangered animal, and give tips on how you can help them survive.

This weeks featured animal is the Hawaiian Crow.

The Hawaiian crow is classified as critically endangered due to an estimated population of around fifty mature individuals. They all live in the same area, and are declining rapidly due to the decreasing quality of habitat.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to note me! Just make sure that in the subject box, you write 'Autumn'.

Events
Check this site out if you live in the UK, they hold many events. [link]

*If there are any anti animal abuse events happening anywhere, that you know of, please alert us so we can add them to the least. Events can include anything, protests, rallies, get togethers, or even days, such as World Ocean Day. If there are no events happening on those days in your town, try and get people interested and maybe have your school, commmunity, town or city put something together. Don't be scared to speak up.*

Petitions
Help PETA put an end to Iams and it's cruelty. [link]
Help horses, sign an online petition to try and get rid of cruelty to horses. [link]
Help stop KFC's reign of terror over the chickens. [link]
Wearing real fur is wrong, help stop the cruel slaughter of animals for something that is rightly theirs! [link]

*Any good petitions you can show us are welcome. We prefer they be as legit as possible, and not some internet crap that won't ever do anything. Try and find petitions from organizations such as WSPA and ILPH. Yes, sometimes we will have shitty-get-you-no-where-petitions, but that can't be helped. There's only so many good petitions out there.*

Competitions
No current competition.
