‘No animals have been harmed by the purchase of these pins’
From a mailing from In Defense of Animals:
“Being an animal guardian defines the compassionate connection between animals and humans, counteracting the throw-away mindset that society has towards animals.”
– Randy Grim, President, Stray Rescue of St. Louis

Oklahoma Alliance for Animals’ Animal Guardian Campaign
“Advocate Guardianship by wearing the beautiful orange ribbon with a black paw especially made for Oklahoma Alliance for Animals.”
Click on the picture, then “page down” to the very bottom of the page (past the T-shirts), to order a Guardian Ribbon pin:
By ordering a pin through the Oklahoma Alliance for Animals instead of general awareness sites, in addition to differentiating one orange cause from another with the paw print, the proceeds will go to an animal friendly organization, instead of risking a cut going to support animal research!

Orange ribbons are also for animal shelters. They chose orange, because:
“Orange is for people who have a family member in prison, and animals in shelters are in prison. They live behind the bars of cages, and most of them are on death row.
Orange is also an alarming color. Millions of animals are killed every year in this country just because no one wants them. That’s an alarming statistic.”
Also, see ‘Orange Ribbon Campaign to raise Animal Protection Awareness. Wear Orange!’ for pictures of my ribbons, and my recommendations for making enough to share with shelter volunteers and others.
Today’s post bumped ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice’, says God. Boycott fur. (And also, boycott Canadian seafood until they stop their brutal bloodbath of 350,000 or so defenseless seals.)
