I like this Idea

Honor · « **Reply #51 on:** September 03, 2005, 07:58:00 PM »

small update:

just in case any of you would like to know (and since it's your zoo you're designing) the American Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is the charity I'm donating to, when our final numbers are in. The exhibits don't have to be finished, I just need to know the maximum # of animal's in the zoo. I'd like to donate as soon as possible.

Anyway, for your information, the HSUS main website can be found here:

HSUS

and the page where you can donate for Katrina (hint hint) can be found here:

Katrina Relief Donations

When all is said and done I'll send a link or post a picture of whatever confirmation page/email they send me for you all to see, as a symbol of everyone's hard work.

Spiderghost you may do the Lemurs and I am sure that it will not be soon as the map is somewhere. I think bluekittySC still has it.
Snowstalker I have marked you for the Polar Bear.

Thanks!

Umm...how do we access this zoo? Because I can't find it. :erm

Honor · « **Reply #54 on:** September 04, 2005, 02:09:24 PM »

when it's your turn to add your exhibit, the zoo will be emailed to you as a zipped attachment from the person who had it before you. When you're done creating your exhibit, you'll save it and email the zoo to the next person on the list.

Yes, but right now they're helping the animals without homes and food, and all the injured and sick animals from Katrina... you can make a donation that specifically helps the Katrina Rescue efforts, and it is being well documents that HSUS is actually helping the animal Katrina victims. So regardless of how I (or others) may personally feel about HSUS that's why I'm donating to them for this.

(and btw, this site isn't exactly objective themselves, I'm noticing themes in what they choose to say about organizations and what organizations are chosen to be "documented". Regardless of my own feelings on any of those organizations,I don't like the fact that this site obviously has their own agenda. A better place to do research on charity organizations is here (Charitynavigator.org). )

Yes, HSUS looks cute and fuzzy on the outside, but the site I posted is behind the scenes.

this is the last time I'm going to respond to this as it is getting OT.

I am not donating money because I necessarily like or approve of HSUS. My own personal feelings have no regard on the matter. If you read my previous post, you would see that I am donating SOLELY because they are the main organization that is helping out the animals which are suffering from hurricane Katrina. I also stated that I am donating to a specific fundraising effort, in which all proceeds go to the hurricane efforts and NOT the HSUS directly. This is about the animals who are suffering from the hurricane, NOT the HSUS.... they are simply the means to an end right now.

The website you mentioned, whether they are "behind the scenes" or not have their own agenda as they seem to oppose any groups aimed at animal "rights" and not animal "welfare". Again, my personal feelings aside...the site you posted is not completely objective and therefore they are bound to put information in a light befitting their subjective feelings.

But again, that is NOT the point. The point is, the HSUS is spear heading the effort to help the animals from hurricane Katrina, therefore, I am donating for THAT cause and that cause only.

Way off topic, and please remember; we are trying to stay positive on this topic.
Keep it fun and have fun!

Update:
bluekittySC is working on the map and will get it out as soon as possible. I understand she is not feeling well, so please be patient.

Honor · « **Reply #61 on:** September 05, 2005, 08:23:12 PM »

13 animals and 12 exhibits. yay! But there's more space (right Zoohio?) anyone else want to sign up?? :lol

Fox · « **Reply #62 on:** September 06, 2005, 02:23:03 PM »

I would really love to make the Girrafe exibit but i have no idea how to send or recevie the Zoo .?.?.

wow this sounds great! I can't wait to see the outcome

zoohio · « **Reply #64 on:** September 06, 2005, 04:57:16 PM »

Fox, the giraffe has been done already. You may pick another animal.

Donation Update..

Ok all, I just wanted to let you know that as of now, including Fox's pending animal, the zoo will have 14 animals and 13 exhibits. It seems to be dwindling down, and the sooner the charities(all of them) get the money, the sooner they can help out animals and people. Therefore, as of now I will donate $15 (14 animals + 1 for the animal I would do if I could...or because I'm weird and like even numbers) to the HSUS and will post a copy of my confimation letter/webpage/email here.

BUT that doesn't mean you can't help!! For any animal that is added onto this quilt I will still donate 1$ (I wish I could do more, but I can't) to the HSUS (Humane Society of United States) solely towards the animal rescue efforts needed from Hurricane Katrina.

14 animals are pledged already, there's still 18 more left to be done! and $18 more potential dollars!

Also keep in mind that for every exhibit in the zoo Zoohio is donating $1 and Blue Heron is donating $2...AND Blue Heron's company will match his donations. So every exhibit counts.

Thanks again guys

Whoo hoo!

zoohio · « **Reply #68 on:** September 06, 2005, 05:47:43 PM »

Update:

I sent the Relief Quilt map to Tyto and we will get back to bluekitty when we can. Rednotdead is next ont he list after Tyto. While the zoo is across the big pond in the UK, it will go to pepe_starr. Then it comes back to elefriend here in the states.

Thanks again for being patient.
And a special Thanks to Honor for her Donation that was sent already!

Tyto alba · « **Reply #69 on:** September 06, 2005, 07:46:04 PM »

OK, yes, it just came in, I'll get to work fairly soon, and woohoo Honor! :w00t

Bengal · « **Reply #70 on:** September 06, 2005, 08:13:21 PM »

I too would like to contribute. Could I do the giant panda please?

Bengal · « **Reply #71 on:** September 06, 2005, 08:14:10 PM »

I too would like to work on the zoo...could I do the Giant Panda please?

Oye, sorry for that, I pressed the button too many times I think.

Peacenote · « **Reply #72 on:** September 06, 2005, 08:25:15 PM »

If there is still room I would like to work on the zoo, and add peafowl to it.

The only thing is I may have to work late a lot this week and if that's the case it might take me a couple of days once I get the zoo. I hope this is OK.

EDIT: If peafowl are already chosen, let me know, and I'll pick something else.

zoohio · « **Reply #73 on:** September 07, 2005, 03:25:40 AM »

I have updated the list at the top and have added both Bengal and Peacenote1.
Thanks, and I am sure will see something from Tyto Alba shortly.

Also, to update Honors mention of Blue Heron and my donations; my share will be given to Blue Heron (my best friend). This way his company will match the total of both ours together!

Blue Heron · « **Reply #74 on:** September 07, 2005, 04:16:26 AM »

I think there will be room for everyone that wants to take part. So, don't let that be a concern. If nothing else I will have Zoohio start a new map. I want everyone to participate that wants to. I want for the company that I work for to pay. So, the more people participate the better for fun and better for money. Thanks to all those are taking part.
