Animals deserve just as many rights as we do, therefor i dont think major names in make-up and other products should use animals as their testers. Animals are defensless against that and it is wrong to use them. There are other solutions to test things on. In our club we will save the animals no matter what it takes.

It will motivate students to keep education going and not letting any interference come in between. Informing them that there is nothing like obtaining an education because that will lead them to success.

Clean the World!!!

I few weeks ago I went to the aquarium in manteo, the north carolina aquarium, to volunteer. I was there "shadowing" someone in the husbandry department feeding some of the water species there. Some of the time when i wasnt with bret i sat at the touch tank with fred a regular volunteer who educates the public about the sting rays, hermit crabs, etc. When i was with Fred he taught me all about the sting rays and how friendly they really are. Did you know that the only reason a sting ray will attack you is if you stop its motion by grabbing or stepping on it?? i didnt. When 3:00 rolled around it was time for their feeding(which not to brag, but i got to do). As all the people gathered around the tank he began his lesson. He told them of the different kinds we have in the aquarium and he told them about where they live at. What i didnt know was that they live right around the beach, and that they come up to the shores offten. They also get cut and hurt by litter in the ocean and on the shore and many die when they get caught by a fishermen because they dont know how to handle them. There's a certian place where they inhabit most often, i'm not sure what they're called but when you look off the bidges up there you see them areas with grass and water i want to call them a marsh but am not sure if this is the correct term. I want to inform the fishermen of how to handle stingrays and to not fish in the area which they live. Mostly though i want to clean up the beaches not just for the sting rays but for all the animals in and around the ocean, including us humans. I think though that not only should we clean the oceans and beaches but our own towns and cities. Look at the side of the road next time you get in the car. All you'll see is garbage everywhere. My dream is to get together and clean our road and teach awarness about the danger of the garbage. The litter is hazardous to those animals we see/hear and love.

TruckerBuddies Volunteer Shelter Transport Program

Submitted by kbabicki on Fri, 2007-09-21 00:10.

When I was returning home on leave from the military, I picked up three retired racing Greyhounds at a track near my former base and drove halfway across the country with them to their new homes. While the three slept comfortably on the back seat, I wondered if I could make more of this happen on a larger scale.
TruckerBuddies was born at a truck stop in Tennessee. What if there were a way to link overburdened shelters with others who had room-- what if there were a way to link volunteers to the two? What if, after all this, we found a way to get pets off of death row and into people's homes?
TruckerBuddies will work like this: Shelters will be listed based on their need for transport or their willingness to take on needy animals. The two will be matched up, a "sister shelter" if you will. Once the connection is made and agreements are made between the two shelters, this is where the truckers and travellers come in.
Lets say John is travelling from Southern California to Washington, or Betsy is travelling from South Carolina to New Hampshire and have some extra room in their trucks. Both could log on and volunteer for a transport. They could pick up and drop off the pets at a pre-planned location.
TruckerBuddies, though still in its infancy, has the possibility of saving thousands of pets from being put to death. Sadly, all too often there plenty of contacts between shelters but no rides to get them there. We can change this.

The World Conservation Union, otherwise known as the IUCN, is the organization that determines which species are extinct, critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable. They have really informative tables that show you what species are threatened in certain countries, how many species are threatened, and descriptions of why individual species are extinct. You can also search by specie names to see what their status is.

To see the complete 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, go to their website at http://www.iucnredlist.org/
