Animal Welfare Links

    Please Note: I am NOT an advocate for Animal Rights. I think that those that use the term "activist" take things too far. I do, however, believe in Animal Welfare. Some of the links I have included on this page link to other sites. I do not want to exclude these pages for having animal rights links as they have other great links as well. Know that I am not trying to promote these animal rights activists.
