Helping animals in Japan disaster

[TiaDanger 0]

It is heartbreaking to see how many animals have been abandoned due to the disaster in Japan. If you are willing and interested, there is a great place to donate called the Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support:

"We are a coalition of three groups; HEART-Tokushima, Animal Garden Niigata and Japan Cat Network. We are groups that have been rescuing and rehoming animals in Japan for many years. Our intention starting this group is to keep animal rescue on the agenda, provide shelter space, coordinate some Earthquake/Tsunami animal rescues, and to share animal rescue related news to the public. Like our individual groups, our collaboration will be staunchly no-kill. Any funds donated will be strictly and explicitly reported as well as expenses. Money and resources will be used strictly for rescue, care and support of animals in crisis due to the earthquake and tsunami. And while I first imagined cats and dogs, we can not yet know what animals beyond that we will be in a position to help."

And please, no snarky remarks about how we should be helping people more than animals, or helping animals here before those in other countries! If you don't want to donate, no worries! But if you do, right on!!

And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant.

No snarky remarks, here. Two of the five charitable organizations I support are working toward the same goal. They can always count on my checks and due diligence to garner whatever support I can for the cause.

It is so important we all support matters close to our hearts and not judge others for supporting theirs instead of ours. If we all supported the same thing, little else would be accomplished.

Amen to that!

I hate when people chastise others for supporting the 'wrong' causes. Katherine Heigl got so much shit for donating a million dollars the no-kill animal shelter cause instead of a human cause.

I hate hearing about how many animals have been abandoned and are hungry in Japan (and everywhere else for that matter). They need homes, food, and love just like everyone else.

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
