My Testing Ground: Starting My Animal Website

I'm glad to see another person who is concerned over animal rights issues...been working on the site a bit more today..and plan to work some more now...I happen to be a member of PETA, and am involved with issues that The Humane Society and ASPCA bring up

Thank you Sweet I will do some more work today as this is still at Baby Stage to but I thought it would be good for you all to follow it as it grows waiting for Pictures from you lol Love and Hugs

Like I said this website is in it's baby stages....but yes, wouldn't mind you having a link on Gissi's Web.... Took a quick peek at his Christmas web...it's beautiful :)

Thank you ....I took a break from it for awhile but plan to work on it again..real soon..

I'll look into that website host....this is my first time using freewebs...I usually use tripod...and it's a whole different way of working and building a site than I'm used to..

I know, I tell all my friends to adopt pets from a local shelter instead of buying them at pet stores, not only are they cheaper but they also tend to be more social. I have gone to pet stores where the animals look so depressed and not happy at all, I don't think the employees spend enough time with them to develop their social skills. I mean who wants to buy a puppy is they are just gonna mope around and not engage in interaction. Also some pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills, which is not a good place at all. Their parents are treated horribly most of the time and the sole purpose of them is just for breeding, they never get to spend time with their puppies... they get snatched away once they can be sold. A lot of pet store also don't provide proper care, sometimes instead of hiring a veterinarian to take care of the sick animals they just have an average employee administer a shot or give them some pills. My friend has bought pets from pets stores and they end up dying so fast compared to when he bought animals from shelters. I just think shelters are a better place to get animals, because the people there aren't hired to take care of them most of the time they are volunteering, meaning they want to take care of and spend time with them, they aren't just worried about getting paid.

And thank you pattie for joining up on my site.. :)

Thank you..I did check it out and I saw that link you have about the companies that do/don't test on animals...yes, people who don't see animal cruelty then think we who do love animals as being crazy or something--well I'd rather be crazy than cruel

I've done some more work on the site...all day and night, and added pages to it..on the home page I even give a notice that the photos I choose were the less offensive ones, but felt I had to use them to make a point...I added links of all the places that is the companies that do and don't test on animals..yeesh--a lot of work! And I haven't even gotten to the section of the animal organizations yet!

LOL--believe it or not those were the "least" distressing photos...you should see some of the photos and videos out there...not for the squimish at all

I added some more pages to my site...this is definitely going to take me awhile to do the site completely...even added a bit to the "homepage"

Thank you...I've added a bit more to the site..been working on it all day and night...I really have a project here..but worth it :)

Thank you AmbiePam...The photos I placed there were actually the least disgusting believe it or not..I've been working on it some more and added a few more pages..yeesh, I haven't even gotten to my listing of animal organizations that are pro animal yet... :(

Hehehe..I'm a bit bleary eyed now..I've been working a lot more on the site all day and night--added some pages to it...this is SOME project I've decided to do, but think it will be well worth it when it's done

Thank you...I've been working on the site all day/night and added some more pages to it--so much more to do..yikes haven't even gotten to the listing of animal organizations that help animals..but I think it will be worth it...Those photos I posted were the least offensive..looking at those types of photos are really gut-wrenching...how can people do this??

Of course..by all means Be happy to share at another forum

Don't worry...I'm way behind too... :(

Thank you meme...I have another website of the same name but with a different webhost and I think it came out better??

I completly agree with you. I would rather spend more money if I am sure that the product wasn't tested on animals. I'm a frugal person, but it's saving money is less important for me than testing products on animals. Unfortunately, I don't know the comanies you've mentioned. Maybe they are not popular or even not available in my country. cheerio:).

I found out another cosmetic company that doesn't test on animals is Almay and Bonne Bell--Almay is expensive than the brand I usually get...but heck, I'd rather spend a little more from a company that doesn't test on animals, rather than one that does

mary kay is another that does not test on animals and they have great foundation this is not a plug I used to sell it but gave up.. but i really do like there make up and skin care its competively priced and as I said they don't test so thats a huge bonus

PS - You may be interested in adding how people are responding to the "fad" of selling "wolf-hybrids". These hybrids are like a bomb waiting to go off...a mixture of exact opposite genetics (one wanting to stay away from humans and civilization, the other seeking affection, etc) they are at constant conflict within themselves and kill and maim hundreds of children per year. To "get" a true wolf dog, a person stakes their "female" in heat out in the wild areas where wild wolves frequent, and MOST of the time, the female is killed during the encounter. I am a strong advocate AGAINST wolves and hybrids in captivity. America can't handle the domesticated breeds they have already created, why introduce new threats at the expense of our families and the awesome creatures themselves?My little blurb about it and a link to one of my favorite canine specialists who calls them "Kid Killers": http://www.k-9campus.com/wolf-hybrids.html

Thank you worldwise...I worked some more on the site all day and night...it's turning out to be a big project but well worth it I think..and thank you for signing my book :)

Yes farm factory is horrendous..I've seen some of the videos about it and it makes me really sick to watch them..PETA has a lot of videos about this..maybe you could add the link to them on your site?? I looked at your site...Scooter was a beautiful "baby"--and oh, how I hate when people think we're "nuts" cause we grieve over "just a dog" or "just a cat"--no compassion at all these people!!
