With the bad economy, many families have been giving up their pets to shelters - shelters across the country are over-crowded. In the US, 4 - 6 mostly adoptable homeless pets are killed for lack of space. Enter Facebook. Through Facebook, tens of thousands of lives are saved each year from networking death row dogs. Animals on death row pictures are tagged and shared, they go viral, and plans are made to bring these dogs and cats to safety.
However, recently, that is all changing. Advocacy networkers are
being blocked due to the algorithm. Tagging images and inline comments to network with other advocates is blocked for hours to 30 days. FB users are blocked from commenting, which results in more dogs dying every day. Users are being forced to create new accounts, only to be blocked again and again.
LA 4 Animals Foundation is an advocacy group created to stop the killing in shelters, you can check us out at www.la4animals.com We are urging Facebook, to create a system or application within the Facebook system, so that your users can continue to save lives through your network - or figure out a way to not block rescuers from saving lives.

LA 4 Animals Foundation is an advocacy group created to stop the killing in shelters, you can check us out at www.la4animals.com We urge you, with all of those who sign this petition to create a system or application within the Facebook so that your users can continue to save lives through your network. Perhaps you could call it Facebook For Life...that way you could allow users to tag and network away and the marketing aspect would indicate using Facebook for a lifetime. Addressing the trends and needs of your users will insure that you stay relevant in this competitive marketplace. If this is not remedied, someone else will come along and create it, taking away facebook users. We know you can do it Facebook, we have faith that you will and not waste time, given this is a matter of life and death!
