how I help animals
- First off I have rescued many stray animals & either found them good homes or kept them myself. I have a disorder that prevents me from eating solid food but when I still could I was a vegan. I sign every petition I can find about animal rights. I send e-mails to people who can change the laws & pass bills. I'm open to doing just about anything to help animals. They have the right to a long, loving life. I think that anyone who abuses an animal should get a very very long jail sentence since animals are as innocent as children & child abusers get long sentences, why shouldn't animal abusers? I wish I had the money to support animal rights groups but like I said earlier I'm disabled with a very small pension. Hopefully some day that will change. The only way I donate to help animals is on several sites that have something called lunch money. You earn play money, & there are sponsors who match everything you donate. It's the best I can do right now. those sites are facebook & my yearbook

Neighborhood Watch program
- to start Neighborhood Watches for animals I started a web site, www.sunbearsquad.org, after I read about Sunbear's ordeal. I want to encourage everyone to be Good Samaritans for animals. Download free materials, wallet cards, window signs, door hangers, etc. Learn from the Abuse and Neglect Tutorial. Get information for the Roadside Rescue Kit. Be inspired by animal rescue stories. And always watch and listen for signs of animal neglect or abuse, and call the authorities. If your area doesn't provide strong support for animals in distress, lobby your local municipality for change.

Humane Education, in different languages
- I set up a Yahoo Group called the Multi-lingual Pet Care Library: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Multilingual_Pet_Care/?yguid=48184983 It is a collection of documents in MANY different languages -- on Pet Care, Spay Neuter, Animal Rescue, and TNR (Trap Neuter, Return and Care of Feral Cats). These documents on many aspects of pet care will hopefully be used to educate and inform the many pet owners who belong to the variety of ethnic groups in the United States.

how do i help animals...
- I become a vegan and I buy cruelty-free products. Occasionally I donate money to animal rights/welfare organizations and animal shelters. In addition to becoming a vegan, I entertain my good friends with my delicious vegan dishes when they come to my place. I love cooking and they always enjoy my vegan dishes so much that they are amazed at how tasty food can be without animal ingredients.
