I recently received an email from a friend who needs help. She is attempt to raise funds for the Italian Greyhound Rescue. Located in the UK, the registered charity (#1104157) is well knonw for its rescue and rehoming program for mistreated and abused Italian Greyhounds up and down the country. They have really helped the breed in the past and, with a little help, will be able to rehome more Italian Greyhounds in the future.
They need used postage stamps, but not just UK ones. They can be from anywhere in the world aslong as the serrated edges are intact so leave a little paper around them. If you can send any through to her at all then please drop me a line and I'll give you the address to send them to. Any and all contributions of postage stamps would be much appreciated.
The Italian Greyhound Rescue needs our help so please just take a couple of seconds to rip the stamp off the envelope when you receive a letter. It will make a difference and help these wonderful people to continue to do an excellent job.

Stop The Skinning Alive Of Animals In China!!!
I originally posted this on Lou's Gorgeous Greyhounds but this message NEEDS to be sent so please spread the word as far as possible. Something MUST be done.
With the Olympics on the horizon in the very near future, China has come under scrutiny from various different angles. If it isn't the smog and air pollution then it's the human rights issues. However, I want to draw attention to something else. i want to draw attention to the barbaric treatment of animals.
Now any greyhound lover that has looked into the slaughter of greyhounds in Asia will probably know that greyhounds are skinned and eaten there. This may be horrifying but it is completely true. However, at least the greyhounds are dead before they do that. This may not sound like a plus point at all, but it is when you consider this next fact.
Did you know that 2 million, yes 2,000,000 cats and dogs are skinned alive for their fur every year. They then die in the most horrific way because they are not put out of their misery. They are instead left to die.
There is a petition that you can sign on the Care2 site. This is the direct link. Please please sign it as they are looking for 2 million signatures, one for every cat and dog treated in this barbaric way.
We must put a stop to it now!!! After all, could you imagine the two gorgeous creatures below with no fur? No? Neither could I. This brutality has to be stopped now so please support it... for the sake of all of our furry friends.
