There are a number of organizations, but I'm going to donate five dollars HERE https://donate.nationalgeographic.org/5forbigcats since i feel confident that National Geographic will spend the money wisely. i'm hoping to do a post on it tomorrow.my heart's love songshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13629303520695044479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-35250332197706779062015-08-03T12:51:55.084-04:002015-08-03T12:51:55.084-04:00I know - that creep.

Perhaps we should set HIM out in the woods and have people hunt HIM?<br /><br />Capturing with a camera is the best way to do it. Take killer pictures.

My dad didn't hunt, but he loved fishing. I understood the theory behind hunting for food, but never like the idea.<br />I've always hated the idea of hunting for sport. Trophies on walls saddened me...didn't impress me, just DEpressed me.<br />It's great to see familiar names here in response to your blog post, proving that my poetry friends all think alike.<br />Hugs, KKay L.
