My Intentions as a Blogger

Hey everyone!

So my aim with this blog is to provide information and make it more accessible to the masses. I intend to draw information about animal abuse and animal rights from all sorts of websites. I will do my absolute best to avoid advocating for a certain group (i.e. anti-fur, veganism, etc.); instead, I intend to only pass along information, and options for you to help the cause if you feel so inclined. Right now, I'm going to be conservative and shoot for 1-2 postings per week. Depending on my schedule and such, it may be more or less. Some of the material I post will not be for the faint at heart. I intend to post videos, articles, websites, and I intend to quote information that I read. Unfortunately, the majority of people are truly unaware of the horrific conditions to which animals are subjected, through no fault of their own. Again, I want to reiterate that I am not trying to push a specific cause onto people. There are too many websites out there that are a major turn off, as they can feel insulting and condescending before the reader even clicks on the page!

I encourage comments of all kinds. I want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. If anyone has any additional information to share, please do so, and do not hesitate to correct me or provide contradictory information! I intend to touch on as many issues as possible, to provide the reader with as much information as possible, so that the reader can then choose which issues most touch his or her heart, and that person can then pursue more information/action on behalf of the problem. To begin, I direct you to the PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) action center:

So wish me luck! I've never run a blog before, and I'm hoping this will end up being successful. For anyone who even stumbles upon my blog, thank you for reading! The only way to solve the animal rights problems is to educate those who are unaware, which is exactly what I hope to do!
