The pest heard from again!

Here is the direct link to voting on the Animal Planet's HERO OF THE
YEAR
http://animal.discovery.com/converge...poll/poll.html
You can vote every day!! Isn't that thrilling?!! Remember it's only
till Oct 8th. and it's for Karyn Moltzen and Animeals, and she could
make even more of a real difference in our town with that prize
money. Thank you.!

Thanks,

Hey Joyce, actually I deleted this post because I read the fine print
and discovered a person could only vote once. I was going to post
that fact, plus a remender to those who hadn't voted to really think
about doing so, and even encouraging others to vote for Karyn. So
that's what I just did I guess. I'm not a pushy person by nature,
but I believe she could do a whole lot for our little community with a
hand up from Animal Planet.

I volunteer at Animeals. We have another grassroots organization in
its 2nd year that I was working with called Footloose Montana that is
all about re-educating the public about steel jaw trapping.
http://www.footloosemontana.org/ These folks were talking about Karyn
and what amazing work she was doing. I also helped a woman treat and
find homes for a feral colony she was trapping, because they were
going to come in and flatten the area for a construction project. We
spent a fair amount of time together and when I found out she had
volunteered at Animeals for several years I quized her about Karyn.
After that I felt led to be part of it. Essentially it is a food bank
for animals. They suppliment shelters and rescue groups, the home
bound, ferral colony caretakers, pets of the homeless, the fire
evacuees this summer, emergency situations all over the state. She
works with local vets to spay and neuter as many as funds allow and
would like to take this farther. She's a very public person-right out
there talking about this, putting on fundraisers, likeable,
determined...I think she has the promise of being a changing element
here that folks will get behind. You know, I heard 2 old guys talking
at a cafe about how things just wern't the same, and they couldn't
trap beaver so close in any more because people complained about their
dogs getting hurt. One went into a spiel about how this one fellow
must have put his dog in the trap and then claimed to find it. He
claimed he "worked it out" judging by the height of the dog and the
size of his trap and whatever else. Geez. For the first time we have
the potential for all these different groups to work together toward a
common goal. And maybe spread the Animeals idea beyond Montana. Good
grief...listen to me! I need to go to bed!

Why would there be no men in the running?

Hmmm. Good question. For the first time I went through and read
their bios., and frankly, if Karyn wasn't all about my hometown I
don't know who I would vote for. Each of the 10 are amazing. But no
males. I do see that section on voting for the Cat Hero Of The Year
has 2 men.
