Alrighty so a lot of you on here know that I want a career dealing with animals whether its being a vet, rescuer, rehabilitator, educator, doesn't matter, as long as I'm helping protect or heal animals its all good! So yeah anyway pretty much I go through HUGE moments in my life where I go crazy when I see or hear something about whaling, seal clubbing, animal abuse, etc and start looking up new ways I can help ya know. So I've always been taught that awareness is the best way to help, especially since I'm such a small person in a huge world you know and evvery little bit helps so here are a couple links about some of the things (dealing with animals) that are going on in the world that really need to stop. These links involve articles, videos, petitions, etc. If you decide to check these out and help then awesome! If not, well at least I tried. So yeah, have at it!

Oh and I'm sorry if I offend anyone in anyway possible.

Videos (couldn’t find the really graphic and depressing videos that I had saved on my other computer for you guys to see =[ those hit you hard! But these are good enough but I’ve learned the more graphic, the better)

Whales (Whale Wars I hear is a great show on Animal Planet but I’ve seen clips of it and it makes me cry so I haven’t been able to watch a full episode yet but I’m planning on buying the season on DVD)

And this is only barely scrapping the tip of the ice burg…many other animals like the wolf, tiger, and dolphin are in mortal danger. I know you guys are probably like “pssh this doesn’t matter to me” well guess what, it does, in ways that you would never imagine. If I got started on stats and numbers, this thread would be crazy long and ridiculous and there would be no denying. All my friends and family say that I should be like in politics or some position in more power where I could make a huge difference and fight at a higher level, but I get SOOOO into this that I would end up killing someone on my first day (no joke) just thinking about it and making this thread is making me shake. I know I’m one person in billions and can’t technically do much, but it is better than doing nothing at all. It’s hard to ‘ignore’ that all of this is going on and I feel like I have a duty to spread awareness. I know there are problems with humans around the world, but unfortunately for the other animals (yes human are animals even though 99.5% of society forgets) they don’t get as much attention as human beings and it really needs to stop one day. Hopefully I’ve influenced at least one of you on the forum to help take a stand or even just making one person aware is good enough for me.

I mean what did these animals do to make us human want to hurt them so bad? Oh that’s right, they did NOTHING! And don’t even mention sharks because I don’t want to hear it because they don’t do it on purpose so to say.

Sorry for getting ‘preachy’ but I had to do it. Thanks for dealing with me guys.

And yes I will have nightmares tonight

Oh! And I forgot to mention that while all this skinning, finning, etc is going on, the animals are almost always usually still ALIVE!

Okay I’m done for real now but for real guys please check out at least a couple of these sites and at least become aware of what is really going on if you won’t help.

Together we can save them.

 

Quick question for any admins or mods who may see this---is this thread against the rules???? If it is please tell me

 

I love animals too, I wish there was more I could do to help.

 

yeahh it freakin sucks that this is pretty much all we can really do right now beside sign petitions and such. bcuz of all of this i'm like really bitter and prejudice against japanese people (main hate reason of toyota, honda, etc), people from norway, iceland, canada, and all those areas bcuz i'm so pissed ya know but most of the time i dont even realize i am ya know. it's kinda messed up how all that works.
