Hey Alicia, I have my PB mail account on Express, not Outlook, my computer is maxed out, I can't load Express and post until I reboot, and to do that I have to close like 30 windows and lose track of everything!

Can you post this to the PetBunny list? It'll probably be better coming from you, anyway, they all LOVE you over there, they'll fall all over themselves to sign up just 'cause it's you. ;) (I'ma ghost).

You can just post it or say your posting it for me or the rescue or whatever you like.

Let me know, thanks!

PB-ers, Help Fight Bunny Discrimination!!

A new very well-funded start-up, ZooToo.com, is really making a lot of noise in the pet world, especially with a ‘Shelter Makeover Contest’ that promises a million dollarmakeover to a winning shelter and prizes of $5000 each to 19 runner-ups.

Unfortunately, not only are rabbits drastically under-represented, it appears they’re being intentionally discriminated against.:( There’s only one rabbit rescue in the running – Midwest Rabbit Rescue in Michigan. Midwest, after much effort, is currently sitting at #12. They have a shot at winning.

But it seems that some Zootoo members don’t consider rabbits legitimate pets and they’re ‘flagging’ tons of posts that earn the rescue points and posting rude comments (referring to rabbit meat and dog training tools, etc).Midwest is dropping in the standings.

(Insult to injury, the company itself features cats, dogs, horses, reptiles and birds on their home page, but no rabbits).

We REALLY need to raise awareness for our little friends, particularly on sites like Zootoo. Awareness means better vet care, more products, more adoptions, more donations.. the list goes on.

The best way to get their attention is to join the site with Midwest as your sponsor (that’s worth 200 points to them) and then do what you can (product reviews, news comments, etc) to continue earning points for the rescue.

To sign up at ZooToo.com (and don’t worry, they don’t spam their members or anything), use the referral site: http://www.zootoo.com/register/referrer/midwestrabbitrr.
If you register with the Midwest zipcode (48170), you can also sign up as a volunteer (another 100 points).

Only one person can sign up per email address, but you can have your whole family join as long as they have different email addresses. It’s only open to US residents, so you must list a US location.

All effort will be appreciated by the thousands of bunnies that go through the tiny, cramped warehouse space That Midwest calls home. (It doesn’t even have a bathroom!)

Rabbits must rule!! More info at Midwest's site...http://www.rabbitrr.org
 
Ok I will copy and post this. No problem.


 
Done!
 
Thanks sas, awesome write up! Did you post this in the zootoo thread- we need as many people as possible crossposting this info.
 
Has anything been posted on Rabbits United about this? I know it's Uk based but they are so big into rescue, I don't see why they wouldn't be interested...
 
micheala, did you get my post (maybe in another thread?) asking (begging!) you do to this?

my computer/internet died when i was doing all this, I thought this one went through???

s
 
Yes please!!

If you can emphasize the 'US addresses only' part with the list of the zipforthe area, that would be great! (We don't want to counsel people to lie, but we can hint!)

Also, I'm trying to get a minute to do a bit of a rewrite where I'd lose the capital letters on 'MILLION' and some exclaimation to put less emphasis on the contest, it looks too cheesy. ;)

Thanks!!

:hug:


edit: Duh, I just changed the caps in the copy in this thread. ;)
 
Ok, it's posted now, I'm not sure how much good it will do tonight (it's 12.30!) but tomorrow hopefully!:D I'm so stupid, I should have put it up there ages ago. :(
 
Sad to say there isn't much interest on rabbits united, a few people signed up and I'm keepting the thread bumped. But Tamsin said UK people are getting deleted (I see no evidence of this, I haven't been deleted) that might be putting people off a bit. :?
 
ARGH!! Having to repost everything!

Michaela, UK people will get deleted if they register as being from the UK or they have a UK extention on their email address. They have to join with a yahoo.com or hotmail account or something. Can you post that?RU would be awesome if they really did a last minute push on that critera.

Remember that even if only two people join, that's the equivalent of 10 or 20 reviews or tons of 'helpful' or news reviews, etc. It's the same asan hour or two of effort!

They all count!

Ok have done that Sas, and it's in my siggie, so I'll post loads, lol!

A few more have signed up, I'll keep the encouragment going, am tempted to start a few threads in different sections, but don't want to spam the forum :shock::p it's in general chat which is the most active part anyway.
