Re: YOU - helping animals!

I put a flyer about the Petco hamster derby in the girls' bathroom at school. I also made my own e-mail template for an e-mail to Petco about the hamster derby and put it on a website I made. I'm unsure if anyone sent it besides me, though.

I sign many, many on-line petitions and have also created some. I've also sent those e-mail template things places like PETA, HSUS ( I think they're the one I'm thinking about,) and the ASPCA has. I usually don't edit them, though. The one time, my e-mail was marked as spam, and I sent another one that had a word that I shouldn't post here on it.

I plan on going vegetarian once I am away from my mom who would never understand it without showing her some disturbing videos that I'm unsure if she'd actually like me watching. Right now I am just trying to eat as less as possible.

I also have a Neopets guild and a website about pet stores.

A few years ago, I used to have a neighbor with 2 hermit crabs. They really neglected them. There was no food or water in the tank. I thought one of the shells were empty and accidentally took the crab home and put it in with my other hermit crabs. When I realized it, I was stupid and gave it back, thinking I'd get into trouble if I were caught. I sent food over with it. I hope it had a good night inside of my plastic container. Back then, I didn't know how to take care of hermit crabs, so I had some in a plastic container. Plastic containers are too small for hermit crabs and don't hold enough humidity for the hermit crab.

I also took in a hermit crab whose owner didn't want the poor thing. He is still living in my 20 gallon-long tank.

In one of my classes, we were using books that we were allowed to write on the front inside cover, and I put links to hermit crab and guinea pig care.

I post adoptables on guinea pig sites, too.

When a pet store around here is doing wrong, I usually e-mail them. I always make sure to mention profit as well as welfare. I try to be as nice as possible so they might listen.

On someone else's computer, I put Goodsearch as the default search engine and set it to search for a shelter kind of near me.

I made an image about Pet Supplies Plus and put it on my Neopets profile, myspace, and wherever else I was able to put it. I have to start that again, because they aren't doing well again. I have to see if they listened to my e-mail I sent them about using water bottles, first, though.

I was going to set a frog of my neighbor's free, but it had already jumped out of its container. It was on their porch. I was either going to steal it out of the container or pay a few dollars for it.


One time, I made a fake craigslist ad that stated it was giving away things that are bad for guinea pigs. When someone replied, I told them that I threw them out once I found out the truth.
There are probably more ways, but I have to think of them.
