So I’ve gotten more information on my topic so I’m slightly delayed on writing my notes. http://www.helpinganimals.com. It’s got some info on my topic and it goes into more detail about how some animals get to the shelters; they’re abused. http://www.peta.org has some good info about this too. It shows some pictures about the abused animals (do not view if you’re squeamish or you take offence to animal cruelty). Some of the abused animals are killed but there are those that survive and when and if they get caught for their actions (best way I can put it for school) their animals are taken away from them and sent to shelters and/or vets so they can get better and then be adopted.
Next week I am going to work on my notes again especially now that I have more information.

DUN DUN DUN DUN....

So I finally finished my interview questions and now I’m just waiting for the woman at the humane Society or the woman at the Animal Rescue League to e-mail me back. Maybe I’ll have something by tomorrow? I don’t know, but now I’m going to start working on my notes since it’s apparently “notes week”

RAWR!

So Dorothy B. Zewe e-mailed me back and forwarded my e-mail to her to her Director of Public Relations, Gretchen Fieser. She also e-mailed me back and I have an interview. Now the only think to figure out is when and how. She recommended a face to face interview because it would be more informative, but I have to see when I am able to get over there. She said that if I can’t make it we could have an e-mail interview instead.

?????????

So, I realized that I haven’t posted a blog in a while so here it is.
I'm attempting to work on my interview questions now because I just e-mailed Dorothy B. Zewe of the Humane Society and Cari Ciancio of the Animal Rescue League.
Currently I have 6 or 7 interview questions and I need to think of some more soon so that I don't keep Dorothy and Cari waiting.
