Let's get active on saving animals!

Here's some ways you can help without spending a dime.

1) http://www.gopetition.com/online/4021.html

 Petition against Chaining of Dogs for Life. It's so CRUCIAL that we sign for all those dogs living outside everyday...rain or shine, snow or heat, hungry, thirsty, and most of all starving for some sign of human love and affection. (The petition will ultimately be sent to the White House with a poster for the President, and will be available for anyone to use as part of their 'get laws' package.)

2) http://www.petitionpetition.com/cgi/petition.cgi?id=6969

 Petition against sending "unwanted" dogs to research labs.

3) http://www.canadianvoiceforanimals.org/WAG_NewYork.html 

 Petition notifying the Greek Government that we are boycotting all of Greece, but particularly Athens and it’s 2004 Olympic Games because it is “cleaning up” the city by poisoning all stray animals! (Note: to sign Petition/Guestbook, scroll down to bottom of first page and click on SIGN under the GUESTBOOK title and picture. On next page, click on POST…third tab.)

Black Beauty

The humane education video truck has arrived.

Black Beauty, the humane education video truck has been working on behalf of the animals since July 2002. Black Beauty has dvd and vhs capacities (with powerpoint coming soon) and shows footage of animal abuse (with sound) on all three sides.

We simply park at various events, show the public what is happening to animals, give them handouts and other information, and hopefully educate them to change.

We promote a variety of already existing animal rights groups (and their videos and materials), like PETA, Farm Sanctuary, FARM, IDA, COK, SHARK, API, HSUS, Vegan Outreach and others. Black Beauty is the most effective way of getting people to think about animal abuse and change their ways. A picture is worth a thousand words, and these moving pictures with sound are worth millions. We have seen people crying while watching images of the reality of animals' lives and deaths.

Some have told us they had or would turn vegan due to Black Beauty's message. Still others have joined the movement and little kids have even taken information to their schools. So far, we have focused on farmed animals, the circus industry, Huntingdon Life Sciences/vivisection, Premarin foals, and other issues. We plan to start fur/trapping exposes soon.

Here's the problem:

Black Beauty is not cheap. Her initial cost was nearly $200,000, with on-going fees of approximately $100 per event (permits for space, sound, etc.) and $500 per month for storage, $10,000 per year insurance. The message getting out is worth every penny, but we really need your help. We are spending every weekend on the street with Black Beauty, and that leaves little time for fund-raising.

We're willing to put up with the heat, the cold, the street thugs and other problems, but we need funds to keep Black Beauty on the road. Can you find it in your heart (and the hearts of all your friends!) to send a check to help defray these ongoing costs? It will be tax deductible, as the charity funding Black Beauty is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity.

If you can help, please send money to:

Dear Evolution Customers:  Please donate to some of the groups who are on this site even if it is $1.00.  They need the money to continue with the work they do and every little bit helps.  If you don't want to donate through this site you can donate to them directly.  Please help them.  I know alot of you are helping all you can and have many animals to take care of yourselves and very limited funds.  If every one of you would contribute even $1.00 with every order it would make a big difference over a years time.  It adds up!  You will feel good about yourself too!  Consider cutting back in some other area of your life like fasting 1-2 days a week, going without that candy bar or other treat to help the animals.  It will benifit you and the animals.  Some of you who can not house a animal because you live in a apartment or have some other situation going on, please consider helping some animal caretaker who has his/her hands full by going over to help them with cleaning, dog walking, and litter box cleaning ect..  PLEASE, PLEASE, help one of the rescue operations anyway you can.  Thank You.

Lynn Crandall-Weisman, President
