The Journal
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. (: And yes, I realize it probably ended for everyone a little while ago... Sorry for the delay. Heh.

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 Hairy-nosed Wombat.

The northern Hairy-nosed Wombat, found in Australia, is classified due to a fragmented population of less than 50 mature individuals, and is projected to decline rapidly.

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]

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.
