Did you know that many animals go missing each year because they panic and jump over fences or break chains and that some even jump through plate-glass windows in order to get away from the terrifying sound of fireworks?
After fireworks displays, animal shelters nationwide report an increase in the number of lost companion animals. Some animals are reunited with their families, but others are never found or are hit by cars or killed in other ways as they flee—not just from huge community fireworks displays but also from smaller displays (like the fireworks at your dad’s Fourth of July cookout).
Thanks for speaking up for all animals!

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.
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.)
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.
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Really? That’s awful. I never would’ve thought of this…
Amazing, the extent of our actions affecting others without our knowing…

I’m glad this is being brought to light. I always tell people about this but they don’t tend to put much merit into what I’m saying.
