Saving Our Animals!

Build a lens to help save endangered species, support animal rights and contribute to charity!



Welcome to Saving Our Animals! Here are the general guidelines:

  • Lenses which very generally about animals but not really about "saving our animals" may be booted or denied. Think more about making lenses on animal rescue, animal rights and welfare, endangered species, pet adoption, charities and organizations that protect endangered animals and habits.
  • Lenses that are purely commercial, which act as landing pages, are poorly-developed (lots of random, default modules), don't contain any original content or which are just blog rants with no links may also be booted/denied.
  • Lenses which are off-topic but donating to animal groups are appreciated in the greater scheme of life, but will NOT be considered to be on-topic for the group.
  • Lenses which are poorly constructed but on-topic will be rejected with a note suggesting what you can do to improve your lens and when you can apply to join again.

Our New Animal Friends! 

Here are the newest lenses that have joined our group and our cause!

I think I could turn and live with animals. They are so placid and self-contained. They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins. They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God. Not one of them kneels to another or to his own kind that lived thousands of years ago. Not one of them is respectable or unhappy, all over the earth.
-- Lord Summerisle, The Wicker Man (1973)

Adopt An Endangered Animal! 

2/3 of all sales from this page go to animal charities

Animal adoptions make fantastic gifts for eco-minded friends and kids love them!

When you Adopt an Endangered Animal, you are supporting Animal Conservation and Research around the world. A portion from the sale of each kit goes directly to support endangered animal organizations such as The National Eagle Center, Earth Island Institute, Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), Wolf Education and Research Center (WERC), Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC) and many, many more.

Each Endangered Animal Kit includes an Official Adoption Certificate, information about the selected animal, poster, stickers, educational activity booklet and on-line access to quarterly updates on the animal and its sponsoring organization.

featured lens But that Puppy is SOOOO cute!!!

First off, I'd like to say, "it has taken me several attempts to complete this lens". Why? Simply because of the topic. I saw the story "Island Dog" on Ellen Degeneres & was touched by Steve McGarva's story. Steve McGarva, who with the help of his...

Animal Rights and Advocacy 

where you can really make a difference

Animal Concerns serves as a clearinghouse for information on the Internet related to animal rights and welfare.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in 1866 as the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today

The Animal Protection Institute advocates for the protection of animals from cruelty and exploitation.

In Defense of Animals - working to protect the rights, welfare, and habitats of animals

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry.

The World Wildlife Fund's mission is the conservation of nature.

Hello my dear and thank you for the very kind invitation to add my lens on Lemur -- An Endangered Species. After reading your specs for this group, I'm not sure my other lenses about animals and particularly my work with the feral cat colony and FCNMHP qualify. Do they? ;-) Good luck with your work with this great group.
