For the Greater Good

"Trying to minimize the amount of cruelty you participate in, I think, is healthy for anybody to do. And it doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. But I think making the effort makes a difference. Making different choices, even a couple of days a week, makes a difference."
- Lisa Edelstein

The campaign is on the site; they're asking for donation urgently. My whole paycheck went there this and last month. If it closes I'll be torn.

Thank you so much for the link puttage. It's an amazing list. I have to make one too, or maybe I'll just make a post pointing people here?

I would be totally cool with you linking people here. I mean, if you want to make your own list, obviously go for it. But this could be like our little joint-venture list if you want?

As of right now, is it better to make a donation than to adopt? Or do both benefit equally?

To make a donation. The food supporters dropped them.
