In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.

The Animal Rights Resource Site, sponsored by the Envirolink Network, provides information for those involved in the support of animal rights. An icon-based menu takes you to FAQs, journals, the latest news, and extra resources. Includes information about the annual International Animal Rights Symposium in Washington, DC. Information on vegetarianism and veganism is also available.
Designed primarily for children, this site is enjoyable and informative for all ages. It contains a massive index of animal photos and information pertaining to each species. The index is searchable by the common name for an animal and by geographic location. Teachers will find the resources pages, maps, and links to other sites useful.
Dogs, cats, birds, and amphibians are featured on this site, along with pet rescue operations and tips on how individuals can aid these efforts. Also find stories, training tips, and product information for your pets. You can even submit your pet’s photo and biographical sketch for possible publication on the page.
Did you know that the average American eats 20 chickens a year? That’s according to Firsching Enterprises, the sponsor of this site. This page includes other “cool chicken facts” and “great chicken connections” (links to other sites/info). Contains links to information on the history of chickens, the poultry industry, and how to raise and care for chickens. Also offers hen and rooster .WAV sound files.
Provides information on endangered species. Contains a large list of extinct species and clickable image maps that identify at-risk species by region.
This sight will come in handy for those who are thinking of getting a dog or cat and need advice on where/how to get started. The site offers information on choosing a breed, descriptions of different types of animal shelters, advice on why you should avoid pet stores, and the truth about puppy mills. Includes links to related sites.
The House Rabbit Society is a nonprofit organization that works to rescue abandoned rabbits and find permanent homes for them. The Society also educates the public and assists humane societies. This Web site offers information about rabbits that are available for adoption, plus pictures and bios. It also offers links to Web sites of HRS local chapters, and provides general information about rabbits as house pets.
Do you believe humans can communicate telepathically with pets? If so, you’re not alone. This site describes one dog owner’s experiences in communicating telepathically with her dog, and includes submissions by other pet owners who detail similar communications with their animals. This page also refers you to reading material on the subject, videos, and workshops around the country on inter-species communication.
This photo- and graphics-laden site features photographic artwork of animals in their natural habitat. It also includes screen savers of nature shots that users can download—for a small fee. Includes photos of other nature venues and links to other sites about nature and travel.
Man is the most intelligent of the animals—and the most silly.

For pet owners who are grieving over the death of a pet or an ill pet, this site offers support and encouragement. One highlight is the Monday Evening Candle Ceremony, a weekly event in which people across the country (who have lost a pet) light candles in memory of their departed companions. The site also includes the Rainbow Bridge story, which provides an answer to the question: “Where do our pets go when they die?” (You might want to keep a tissue handy for this one.)
PetBunny, which includes a mailing list for rabbit owners, is an open forum for people who are interested in discussing rabbits. The discussion includes such topics as diet, behavior, and medical problems. The site includes a few links to specific rabbit home pages.
This site, which offers an outlet for grieving pet owners, includes poems, tributes, and photos from owners who want to share memories of animals. Visitors can also access links to pages that contain tributes to specific dogs, cats, and birds.
