Concerning the large scale DMK rescue at hand, a generous volunteer has come forth and put up a web page, a central focal site, containing all contact information and ways to help the rescue. It's being updated constantly. It's a nice tidy way of getting the information out on the net on a mass level that includes core information. It just includes facts about donation and contacts without perpetuating rumors and misinformation, and without overwhelming average people who would like to help in some way but don't know how. I am going to be posting a short note with this link almost daily so it catches the average persons eyes who is not typically online or who is so busy they cannot read dozens of posts put out online to decipher how to help. It's simple and sweet. Please pass this link onto any ferret organizations, animal groups, anywhere that you think might be interested in helping. Make the post/email short and concise because the point of all this is to not preach to the choir, but to capture the majority of the busy public. Attach the link at the end of your emails/posts if you like as well. It's still being built, so the initial home page looks incomplete, but the info is correct and all contact, donation, raffle, etc, info are there on various pages. The volunteer came forth and did this without being asked. She saw a need. Believed in it. And she just did it without bothering anyone since people are up to their ears with work. The information has come from posts by Lori Sies, et al on the FML. It has all been cut, copy, and pasted so there are no mistakes. We are only days into this, so the page will be updated, simplified, etc. On the "Personal donation page", at least at this hour, there is most of the information at a glance. There is a lay out of contacts and the various ways to help. In addition adoption applications/contracts are also on the site, along with contact info about possible transport needs or offerings. As I said it's a work in progress. But this way "something" is up and is a central clearning station if you will for quick information for the public. I'm sure other shelters and rescuers involved have information up on their sites that offer the background story, details, photos, etc. This was just for the majority of the public that needed quick, easy to find answers. Hopefully this will alleviate some of the frustration on the publics part, help hinder the spreading of misinformation, and free up rescuers time. :) http://kesrael.tripod.com/ Wolfy [Posted in FML 5740]
