Been talking about this on Twitter but...
This broke my fucking heart earlier this morning.
And also made me filled with so much love for animals I can't even begin to explain it.
They. Are. So. Innocent.
And they love, just purely! UGH! I know people think I'm crazy but I don't care. Animals, they're everyone's best friends even if you don't know it. Like, even if you don't know them, they love you. THEY LOVE YOU. And they love each other, unconditionally. FOREVER O_O I just, ungh, I don't want to live in a world without kitties and puppies, I think I'd have exploded from hate of humanity by now without their love to counter balance people's evil.
I started tweeting about places to donate money to help all the homeless animals left after the tsunami and earthquake and got a bunch of replies of places you can donate. (Check my @twitter feed for them all) I ended up donating to Animal Rescue Kansai. Because it was a no-kill shelter just like the one I worked at and was specifically gathering funds to take in new animals left homeless by the disaster.
I know after Katrina people who lost everything, months later even, were reunited with their pets and it made things better. Like, not ALL was lost. You can replace things, but you can't replace your loved ones and our pets (no matter if they're cats, dogs, snakes, spiders, bugs, birds, horses whatever!) certainly count as a member of the family.
Anyway I'm not asking you to buy anything from me, I already donated, but I am asking if you have a pet, be it big or small, and they've ever cheered you up after a rough day, woken you up by bringing you a present of a dead something just to say they love you and you can't be mad at them even tho it's gross. If they sleep curled up at your feet at night, if they lick your face, think about that and if you can, donate something.
ARK takes Paypal, and you can donate as little as $1, that'll buy a can of cat or dog food. And believe me, that counts! Even the smallest donations were what helped keep my shelter alive, especially when we were under the influx of animals from Katrina. If your donation reunites one pet with it's owner, you've changed a life.
So yeah, there's my spiel.
Now um...watch that video then please go hugs your animals.
