I am about to embark on the world of animal rights activism. I have been a very big supporter of local animal shelters and the ASPCA (yeah, that danged Sara McLaughlin video got me, I am a monthly contributer!) but have never felt like I am doing enough. Plus when I go to the shelters to help, I leave bawling and wanting to bring every animal home with me. So, while talking to the Humane Society investigators last week, I asked them about what I could do. They suggested that I join the THLN (TX Humane Legislation Network) because they really need more people to fight for better and more defined laws in regards to animal rights in TX. (From what I understand TX is one of the worst states in the nation for these laws). So, I signed up. I haven't really got started on anything yet. I am truthfully a little overwhelmed. I don't know much about legislation and how it all works. I am supposed to be calling a lady to talk with her about all this. She sent me an email telling me "Get ready to be extremely busy!" That kinda scared me a bit.

Is there anyone in YT that is doing something similar? I am wondering what I am getting myself into. I don't mind doing a lot of work, that is what I want to do, but I am not sure I want to turn every bit of time that I am not at work to it. I still have my little furbaby at home that I am about to get into some serious training with, and I have my art that I am trying to start marketing. But I really, really want to help with this. I just wanted to check and see if there were any of my YT friends who could shed a little light on it for me before I get started on it.
