WELCOME TO ANIMALS FIRST! Where diversity, ideas and thinking out of the box have value! We are short on rules, but mainly be respectful and learn to accept that others have opposing viewpoints... and be over 18 years of age. Most of all, have fun!
We are here to promote RESPONSIBLE pet guardianship, proper care and nutrition for our animals, and to act as a voice for those who have no voice.

RULES MADE SIMPLE:
1. Treat each other with respect and recognize that we are all individuals with different opinions. Disagreeing with someone's opinion is not against the rules, but learning when to let the argument go is a behavior that we can all learn to accept.
2. No flamers, spammers, trolls, bullies, or basic mean people.
3. All discussions in the Forum should be animal related. For other discussions of a general nature, please post them in the group, Sidewalk Cafe.
4. Please, we don't need or want a ton of excess groups. If you wish to start your own group, contact one of the moderators and we'll get back to you.
5. Most all members are adults, but there are a couple of exceptions to the rules. Keep in mind that not everyone likes to see the "F Bomb" and seriously, if you can't string together a sentence without alot of curse words, then perhaps you should reconsider your reply or post. Therefore, watch the language.. we're pretty liberal here and don't mind a bit of off-color humor, but consider others before you reply. Use the language appropriate for your children, your parents, your neighbors.. you'll be just fine here if you do.
6. Religion and politics are generally not good topics for social networking. Therefore keep your beliefs to yourself!
7. Blogs are meant for you to enjoy.. create your own, have fun and most of all..
8. Have fun!
