“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Animals were not born to be exploited, mistreated and murdered. They were born just as you and I, and deserve to live their life from start to finish. This is their right, just as much as ours. ~ Unknown


Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction. ~Charles R. Magel


The question is not, "Can they reason?" nor, "Can they talk?" but rather, "Can they suffer?" ~Jeremy Bentham


Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game. ~Paul Rodriguez


Get a feel for fur: Slam your fingers in a car door. ~Anonymous, on the use of steel traps to capture fur-bearing animals, cited in Audubon, November 1990

Welcome to animalcare, we are a new community (created on December 21st 2005 and opened on January 9 2006) who care for animals and believe that the mistreatment of them is utterly disgusting. We know that by creating this community we aren't going to make a huge impact and altogether rule out Animal Cruelty and that isn't what we're aiming to do. The purpose of this community is for Animal lovers to unite and express their love for Animals by posting photos of our own Animals, holding competitions (theme weeks, perhaps wild animal photography, maybe fiction writing or animal icontests), having discussions and helping each other become aware of animal related things they perhaps don't know about. We strive to help and inform so don't hold back when posting (we'll try our best to answer your pet problems, etc, etc). You will find information about the mods and their pets here. It also includes an optional introduction form for our new members, or old members that havent introduced themselves yet!.

Rules
- One thing that I've noticed in my time of watching and participating in Animal Rights communities, is the 'Vegetarian Debate'. A certain amount of people on LJ believe that one person cannot truly care about Animals nor should they have the right to fight for Animal Rights if they eat meat. Perhaps I'm writing from a biased point of view (however I'm trying my hardest to write this from the perspective of a fence sitter), but this community isn't about whether your a vegeterian or a herbivore, this community is about Animals and Animal Rights. That being said, I don't want any discussion or debate of this topic in the community, we all care about Animals here and we're all part of the community to help fight for them.


- If you disagree with a topic posted and feel the need to debate or express your disagreement, please go ahead, unless the poster has specified before or after the body of the post that Debate and/or Expression of Disagreement isn't appreciated. However that being said, keep in mind the rule below.


- No spamming, flaming or being disrespectful or rude to anybody. We do not tolerate racism, sexism, rudeness, etc. This behaviour will result in an immediate ban.


- Please keep any pictures exceeding 500 x 500 behind cuts to save member's friends pages. If you're unsure of how to do so, you can find out here.


- Promoting is allowed, however keep it to a minimum and keep it animal related, as this isn't a promotion community. If you are unsure about promoting, talk to chalk or kisslock.
