help animals

These two rabbit ladies arrived yesterday and I was glad to notice that they’re quite brave and curious creatures. They weren’t shy to soon go through my whole apartment and they’ve been coming close to me to check up what I’m doing. Pieni (“Little”, even though she’s bigger than Tupuna) seems a bit braver than her older friend.
They’re both less than a year old and they have a very common bacteria disease. Tupuna has manifested symptoms, so she’s getting antibiotics and eyedrops. It has been a bit of a challenge to give her her meds twice, three times a day, but I hope it starts to go better. Besides, the meds only last for one more week so it’s not so bad. They’ve both been eating and drinking and seem to be doing just fine. They’re also pretty darn cute.

But they sure do make a mess! :D I’m letting them run free in my flat, because they’re used to being free. You should have seen the amount of droppings and sawdust on the floor this morning, eh. I’ll probably be cleaning a lot more when they’re here.

^{Tupuna sounds like a chicken, by the way. It’s really funny to listen to her.}

Next week I’ll write a little description about them after I’ve monitored them enough and the animal group will post it on their website. Let’s hope these bunnies will find a nice new home! In the meantime, we’ll see how long they’ll be staying with me~

^{After having this goal for more than 2,5 years I think it’s high time I wrote an entry under it.}
I’ve always been a big animal lover, ever since I was a little kid. My immediate family has seen different pets come and go, but because my mother’s quite allergic, we couldn’t usually keep any animals for very long. But I’ve always been in close contact with animals and have learnt to love them so much. Since I’ve been living on my own I’ve experienced different difficulties when it comes to getting pets, mainly landlords’ restrictions. I’m yearning for a pet of my own, but I also want to do more for animals than just own one.

I think that I normally have a lot more empathy and sympathy for animals than humans. I can’t stand to see animals suffer, I just want to help them all so badly. Unfortunately I can’t save all the animals in need of help in the world, I’m no miracle worker after all. But I sure as heck will try.

I used to be a member of WWF (as a rainforest “godmother”, helping to protect the rainforests and their animals) and Animalia, a Finnish animal rights activism group. But recently I haven’t been able to participate, being a poor student and all. I can’t wait to have more money someday and start my charity donations again.
I try to do everything I can in everyday life to help animals. I sometimes even go so far as to relocating snails if they’re in the middle of the road and in risk of getting walked over. :P I feel the need to protect little creatures that can’t protect and stand up for themselves, and that need is very strong.

Today I saw an ad for a local group in prevention of cruelty to animals and I emailed them. They were seeking temporary homes for homeless pets while they were trying to find them permanent homes. I immediately signed myself up, it just sounded so perfect! I’ve been emailing with one of their representatives and they said that I sounded like a very good canditate. :) We’ll get together sometime soon and see where this goes! I’m very excited about this.

Puppy Farm Awareness Day is designed to raise awareness of puppy farming in Australia.

Many people are unaware that this cruel industry is alive and well in this country (and other countries) and each year hundreds are duped into paying, sometimes thousands of dollars for an unhealthy farmed pup.

A puppy farm is a large dog breeding facility created to mass produce puppies for profit. Likened to battery hens, the breeding dogs are kept in cages or pens for their entire life with the sole purpose of producing puppies for the pet shop, internet and overseas markets.

• Puppy farms contribute to hundreds of thousands of unwanted dogs who are killed each year in Australia
• Puppy farm puppies are more likely to have severe health problems, genetic defects and behavioural issues
• Documented puppy farm conditions include over-breeding, inbreeding, minimal veterinary care, poor food and shelter, crowded cages and lack of socialisation
• Dogs kept for breeding in puppy farms suffer for years and are bred as often as possible before they are killed, or are abandoned to rescue

Dear friend

The blood sport of bullfighting has no place in modern day Catalonia. I’ve joined thousands of citizens of the region in lobbying their parliament for a region-wide ban, saving hundreds of animals a year from a violent end.

Please join me in taking an online action to consign this cruelty to history!

Hunters in New South Wales could soon be allowed to go into national parks and kill native animals including black swans, sulphur crested cockatoos and kangaroos if the NSW Labor party supports a Bill currently before parliament.

RSPCA NSW has condemned the Shooters Party Bill saying it’s a blatant attempt to disguise recreational hunting as conservation.

“There is no possible conservation benefit to be derived from letting untrained shooters loose in our national parks,” said the RSPCA’s Chief Scientist, Dr Bidda Jones.

“If this Bill is passed not only will duck hunting be revived in New South Wales but a host of new animals will be added to the hit list including iconic Australian birds like swans and cockatoos.

“Most concerning is the Shooters Party’s proposition to amend the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act so to allow ‘canned hunting’ on private game reserves, where animals are captured and then released just to be shot by hunters shortly after. The potential for cruelty is enormous.”

Anyone from any country, anonymous or not, can sign this petition. The more the merrier.

Thank you.

I’m still working on this. My website is always growing and I’m finding more and more people with the same goals. Through the site we’ve found homes for over 300 animals.

There is no humane way to kill a whale at sea. The methods used are cruel, outdated and completely contradictory to current international guidelines for the humane slaughter of animals. The intense pain and distress caused by whaling is a fact that can’t be refuted by whaling nations and is the reason most Australians are so strongly opposed to whaling.

So far the WSPA has collected almost 10,000 messages from Australians stating their opposition to whaling on welfare grounds and urging Minister Garrett to be the leading voice on whale welfare.

In the run up to the IWC next month, WSPA is asking Australians to keep sending in their messages. Take action now and Leisel Jones will deliver your messages to the IWC on behalf of all Australians opposed to the cruel practice of whaling.

If you haven’t already done so, lodge your opposition to whaling today to help stop the slaughter of these majestic animals once and for all.

The “Harb Seal Bill” would end this cruel hunt, which is expected to take the lives of 280,000 baby seals this year alone. Seals as young as three weeks old will be clubbed or shot – some even skinned alive.

Please urge Canadian Senators to support this historic bill by adding your signature today. Click here for the Stop The Seal Hunt campaign.

Thank you!
