An Introduction to AnimalAwareness

Website (IN PROGRESS):[link]

About Us
Please feel free to join! If you support Awareness for endangered animals, remember Awareness starts with You
Our Goal and Objective:
AnimalAwareness (AA) is dedicated to spreading awareness on endangered species and abused animals through art and literature. We are a non-profit organization/group whose primal focus is to show people of our generation and future ones how many of our fellow animal friends are in dire need to stay alive.

The Team
If you have any questions/concerns please feel free to ask us! Harassment and profanity are NOT allowed in our group. General questions should be answered in our FAQ, but if not, we'll be glad to answer any questions you have. Follow us on Twitter to receive updates as soon as they are available!

Deviants

Hello! Capu here! :wave:

As you may have noticed, we, as the AA staff, have been getting behind on a lot of the feedback, what with the submissions and everything (which btw are still closed for the better part). For that you have my sincerest apologies on everyone's behalf!

We've all been having many personal work that we've been only managing to make time for this not as much as we'd like to.

The problem is with a group as big & still growing as ours, it's become apparent we need more staff to help out.
You have to be reasonably active (not coming on once every few months etc), and as for the rest, that's listed below.

-------------------
How we work: I want to make sure this is all very thorough as I wouldn't want anyone to jump into any responsibility without knowing the full deal! :aww:
~
-Our cause and group is a team effort and we have select roles assigned to everybody. Everyone in the AA staff gets at least one role, of your choice preferably. (first come first serve) Depending on what you want to be in our staff ranking, there are different responsibilities expected.
-You aren't expected to submit any art on any regular basis or timeline but it would always be appreciated of course! As for now its' just going to be focusing on getting staff work done! :)
:star:-Password confidentiality is a extremely important that sharing this with anyone outside of the AA staff is strictly prohibited. Our passwords are universal and we use them for sites like our Twitter etc. This shouldn't be anything new for anyone but just in case it wasn't clear enough! :)

**Please note if you leave the AA staff, passwords will be changed regardless of any reason anyone might have. We can't risk any hacks. Thank you for understanding!

-And as for anything else, if you have any questions feel free to ask!

---------------------
If you want to find out more about us, feel free to browse our pages, etc, before potentially making the commitment, we're all a family in this and we share one thing in common: Our love for nature and its animals and the effort to help make a difference.

So no pressure at all! If you're an animal lover and supporter than read on for the form! :D
---------------------

Positions: (Rangers have the highest expectancy to be active and contributory, Caretakers less so, and Contributors the least. A quick idea of time expectancy AT the moment is:
Ranger: Check in at least once every other day/few times a week, just to make sure everything's running smoothly.
Caretakers: Once every few days.
Contributors: Once a week.

You can spend anywhere from 10 min to an hour, that's up to you, but we also leave the decision of managing the work up to you! If you see work that's unfinished and you're free, we don't expect you to finish it but that'd be very much appreciated! :D

---------------------

The FORM: *= Mandatory

Please NOTE us!


*Position of Interest:
*Expected Activeness:
*Your background with groups (if any, if none write N/A):
*Why you think you are fit for your position:
*Your personal connection for animals/nature (tell us about how you feel!):
What you think you could help out with in AA:
Your occupation (Artist or Writer/Poet):

It isn't un-allowed to leave the staff once you join but it'd be nice if you could stay! ^-^ So please be expected to be dedicated and cooperative! We're all a family! :D

---------------------

Thank you!
-Capu

Hi, I recently discoved a couple of horrifying images taken by a female photographer in bosnia. IThey asked for no money, personal recognition, or anything else: their only wish was to spread the word about the appaling lack of animal rights in bosnia. I would really appreciate it if something was posted or organised by this group that would help her spread awareness of the condition of Animal rights in Bosnia. Those photographs are awful and not for the weak of stomach but if you wish to see, here they are: [link] all I'm asking you to do is write a short journal or something, please.
