Because of Ringling Bros., Atlanta may lose its animal control services! That means no stray dogs and cats will be picked up and no injured-animal calls will be answered. Why? Last year, Fulton County, Georgia, banned the use of bullhooks, which are used to hit and jab elephants. Fulton County provides Atlanta with animal control services, and Atlanta has adopted all of Fulton County’s animal protection laws, including the bullhook ban.
But Ringling Bros. is trying to convince Atlanta not to enforce the law, and if Atlanta officials listen to Ringling Bros. and fail to enter into an animal control services agreement with Fulton County in order to prevent the bullhook ban from being effective, the city risks losing all animal control services in Atlanta.
Contact Mayor Kasim Reed at kreed@atlantaga.gov and urge him to immediately sign an agreement for animal control services with Fulton County that will ensure that all the animal protection laws are enforced, including the bullhook ban.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
