Dear Animal Lovers, Advocates, Rescuers & Activists:
Dear readers: this is an incredibly close election. Please be sure to vote. Know that the Harper government has done NOTHING for animals. NOTHING. And the one thing they've HAVE done, is to ensure our Canadian waters are at risk - the most vital life-force for animals everywhere. I'm not happy having to vote for one party in my area, when I prefer to vote for another. But I'm not wasting my vote, and I'm NOT giving my vote to conservatives. I'm voting strategically and I hope you do too.

If you haven't heard about Thanksgiving weekend rescue involving four NY/NY Sanctuaries, you need to. 200 animals taken to safety from the most egregious conditions. Skylands Animal Sanctuary, Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, Catskill Animal Sanctuary, Farm Sanctuary NY and Cornell University all pulled together in a massive effort to help these poor animals. Please consider making donations -- they are desperately needed to cover medical costs. Visit any of these wonderful sanctuaries' websites and donate today. Even $10. Every penny helps.
Our friend and advocate par excellence, Anita Krajnc, of Toronto Pig Save charged with criminal mischief for giving water to pigs -- read about the plans for compassionate representation in this case!
Toronto invests $100K to reduce feral cat population! A-ma-zing!

ANIMALS & RESCUERS IN NEED
|
This gorgeous Bengal x girl is ready to find the family of her dreams.
Tammy and her sister and mom were found as a strays last winter, desperate to find a safe warm place to live.
Tammy is a one year old beauty. She is very energetic, playful, and has dog like behaviour. Tammy would do well with a friendly dog and a house full of children to keep her busy. She is quite sensitive and does best on a natural litter and a grain free food. Tammy is a lovely, chatty companion! Tammy is with Uxbridge Cat Rescue, located an hour north of Toronto.
