Bloggers unite for human rights -
There are many great human rights organizations all over the world, but if you want to know something about Amnesty International, please visit AmnestyUSA for more information
Some of the source material provided by Amnesty for BlogCatalog can be found here... Unite-Blogcatalog - you can, obviously, write on whatever rights topic you choose, but you will nevertheless find some interesting and thought provoking material on this page.
Please think of Shi Tao and press the Chinese government to release him and others who were jailed simply for their legitimate use of the Internet. Human rights in China have been in the news, especially with the Olympic torch and Olympics this summer. Now the people of China are suffering from the earthquake and its after-effects and the destruction. Their rulers are making a better job of trying to rescue their citizens than can be said for thosse in Burma.
Our thoughts will be with all the victims.

What have Tigers got to do with Dog Agility Training?
The short answer to the question posed in our title is... NOTHING! But please bear with me and read on...
Make the Tiger Trade ban Permanent
If you care about wildlife in general, and tigers in particular please visit the two different page links [above, and below] now...
Below, also, is a quote from one of the web pages which these links point to -
"Tiger numbers have decreased dramatically in recent decades due to poaching to supply the illegal trade in tiger parts, used in traditional medicines, as clothing for cultural ceremonies and as decorative objects such as rugs.
It is illegal markets in China which drive most tiger poaching and illegal trade. To its credit, China has taken many steps to stem this problem; however, its commitment to ending tiger trade is now wavering."
the Illegal Tiger Trade must end
