› Forum › RESCUE EFFORTS FOR SHELTERS › Vote for Lassen and Denali!
I entered a photo of Lassen and Denali into the PetSource spring photo contest. If I win, The Rabbit Haven will get $1000. If you have a few minutes, can you vote for them? Right now we have no competition, but I assume other photos will be added as time goes by.
http://petsource.org/Contest.aspx?contest_id={E48FE836-3F47-47EA-840E-2EA8520FD5E3}

They got my vote.
So stinking cute! I voted as well
Thanks for the votes, guys. The contest allows you to vote once a day for the duration of the contest, so if you remember, vote for them again once in a while.
I didn’t know that, I will vote every day.
Maybe you should put this in the lounge as well, more people may see it and vote.
i voted
if 1000 is going to go to rabbit haven maybe BB could stick it?
I just voted for ya too! There are two more pics up now but I think your sitting pretty, your babies are waaay cuter
Another vote for me.
Me too!
oh shoot! i didn’t realize i could vote everyday… thanks for mentioning it!
Sorry, but I didn’t check your post again until now, thinking I could only vote once.
Voted again!
Favorite saying in an election year: “Vote early, vote often.”
wow, they currently have 43 votes. The closest after that is 17, one is 4 and the rest are 1’s or zero.
ya – they have 47 votes now
And again, number 49.
#53
When is the contest over? You’re winning.
I think the contest goes until May 2nd, so we have a long way to go. Thanks for all of the votes!
56 votes!
I think the contest goes until May 2nd, so we have a long way to go. Thanks for all of the votes!
Yea, but seriously, what is going to be more cute than two lil baby bunnies sittin’ in an alfalfa rack? *Votes again*
And again 79
lisa just got me to vote also.#80 Good luck lassen and Denali
Hi, It’s up to 88 now that I voted. Weird thing – it said 3 times that it couldn’t read my code numbers (that funky typeface of theirs is so hard to get right), but when it finally accepted my vote, it looked like it had recorded all 3 tries!
We need to blow that Baby Faye out of the running.
#95! There are 2 running a close 2nd and 3rd (78 & 73) so make sure to vote daily!
150 and still ahead.
153
if anyone goes on any other bunny forums post it there too i wanna see osprey win!
Even if they don’t go, join up and then leave a message.
Only thing is they might put another rescue group on and they might win.
201 votes and more to come
The dog is only 7 behind Ospreys bunnies.
Augh! Faye is at 216 and the bunnies are at 202 and were pushed towards the bottom not fair!!! That ugly pooch!!! Bunnies must win!!!! Going to go vote….
O.K. Faye is at 218…..something very fishy is going on… Going to go vote again….
I just posted on an Australian rabbit forum for help, so hopefuly they will come on board, no pooch is going to win over Osprey’s beautiful bunnies.
Hey people get your brothers , sisters, friends any one to vote.
124 for me and 125 for mcn
Just voted, but that not-so-cute Faye obviously has a website of people backing her too (Ok, but we’re different. We KNOW the bunnies are the cutest!) I voted. Back again tomorrow. It’s in the 200s, with Faye having only a 30 vote lead or so. We can do this.
We all need to be using a few email addresses if possible. I’m using 3. What pressure we have to beat that dog!
I have also written to the holders of the contest asking them if they can check into the voting of the animals or not. If not(i.e. – 10 votes/hour coming from the same IP address), then we’ll need to flood them just like the others are doing. If they can, then it is possible that our votes will get wiped but with such cute buns AND all of us working on it, we’ll have them back up to 250 in no time.
Markus, as I mentioned on the other discussion in the lounge, wonderful idea. Thank you for taking the intiative!
I put a call out on another rabbit forum here in Australia, I don’t know why it was off topic, but they are helping out. The more the people we get the better.
Hi there,
This is just a private note from me, I am one of the moderators for EB, and saw your request. Sorry it was off topic for the group, but thought I’d let you know that I DID vote for them, and am putting it on my Humane Society volunteers’ list so they can vote also if they want to. Hope that helps!
Good luck in raising money for your rescue group. I live in WA state—the home of the OTHER Rabbit Haven. I know too well how hard it is to raise needed money for taking care of the rabbits we have rescued.
I wish you the best of luck!!
Chris
I asked in another Australian group, which I just found out is actualy an American group for help, this was the response.
I was a little shocked with the second comment.
Hi everyone,
I am new to this message board; I need help with another group I belong
to, https://www.binkybunny.com. This is a very helpful group of people, this
member works tirelessly for rescued rabbits and needs as much help as he
can get. He has entered a competition for his two rescued rabbits that
have just found forever homes, as it says below if he wins; he will get
$1000 for his rescue group. This competition is only for American
citizens but Australians can vote. You can vote once a day until May the
2nd 2008. I know as bunny lovers we would love to help out our fellow
humans in raising as much money as we can for many mistreated rabbits
that have been rescued.
Thanks people
I entered a photo of Lassen and Denali into the PetSource spring photo
contest. If I win, The Rabbit Haven will get $1000. If you have a few
minutes, can you vote for them? Right now we have no competition, but I
assume other photos will be added as time goes by.
> he will get
> $1000 for his rescue group.
Sorry, this is a disgusting demand, knowing that so many people dealing with
rescue, spreading
knowledge on rabbits spend their free time for this, and never ask money or
anything in return for
what they give, some even putting money in it.
Housing, feeding, and medical care for rabbit and other animal rescue
costs many thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars per year. The
labor itself is often donated, and volunteers do not ask for anything
else in return, but vets do not work for free. Medication is not free,
and neither are the food and supplies needed to run a shelter. That is
why many rescue orgs file for non-profit status and spend a portion of
time fund raising in any many they can. Without money to cover expenses,
they would simply be unable to function.
283, that dog is still in front.
Lisa,
I would reply “The money won goes to the shelter, not to the people who run it. It WILL be used to house, feed and medicate the rabbits that the shelter deals with. This is NOT a chunk of cash going directly to the volunteers. It’s going to the buns. What part of ‘He will get $1,000 for his rescue group‘ did you not understand – unless you believe money donated to a shelter via winning a contest is wrong.”
I did reply but it is not on there. It is a weird site, its more of a group than a forum. I did say that it didn’t go to the people but the rescue center. I said that Osprey works tirelessly for rescued rabbits, if i can help in some small way to win the $1000 for rescue then I am happy to help. just like all of us here we want to help as much as we can, no matter where we come from.
I have had a couple of people email me saying that other group will not allow their members to reply to my message, the rules are only questions on feeding and care of rabbits, they have said they can understand goof ball questions, they believe this group is way off base with not allowing anyone to help with winning money for a good cause, being rescue groups. They are going to vote for Lassen and Danali, any help is good.
I am asking for help for Osprey who is a tireless worker for rescued rabbits, at the moment a dog is ahead of Ospreys rescued baby rabbits. You can vote once a day and the competition finishes on May the 2nd.
This is the link.
Click on monthly contest.
If you cannot find the rabbits click above the pictures and tag most voted,
they are called Lassen and Danali by 333 Osprey 333.
I just posted this on another rabbit forum, so cross our fingers we will get more help.
That reply about not asking for money is really pretty funny. Rescues ask for money all the time. If we win the $1000, it will immediately be spent on spay/neuter, vet bills, etc. We have already spent over $1000 on Jossalin, Dixie is close to $1000, and Anzia will be over $1000 soon too. The volunteers donate their time, money to care for their foster bunnies, gasoline, etc. This person has no idea what they are talking about.
Thanks for trying on our behalf, Lisa. That dog picture must have a big group behind it, they are pulling further ahead of us.
You know what’s weird is I was using 3 different user ID’s so I could vote 3 times and now in the last couple of days I can’t place a vote on the other 2. I log out and then log in with the new one and no voting option. Very weird.
Just voted 137 for me and 138 for mcn
maybe it has just started logging IP after markusdark comment knowltons4
Ok now it’s Baby Faye 363 and Osprey’s buns 356! We are catching up! Keep voting!
Kimberley you must be right about the IP. It’s good in one way because it must be stopping Baby Fayes’s people from voting so much.
Lisa that reply I think the person thinks Osprey wants money…What a dorkus…People really need no provoking to go off and get angry about things, if he’d just read a little closer GARSH he would have discovered that was not the case *rolls eyes stenuously*
Osprey 375 VOTES!!
I can safely say they’re not logging IP addresses. I’m thinking it might be cookie related, since i’ve been using different browsers at both home and work.
Lisa, so sorry about the rude person who really doesn’t understand rescues. But thank you for helping! The bunnies are a few votes behind the dog, keep up the persistent voting!
Oh, Osprey, I’ll be sending Rabbit Haven a check next month.
Oh my goodness, we are in front by 19 votes. Keep up the good work people.
now at 429!.yaaaa and in front
Us 429 that dog 406. LOL
Ugh now it’s 430 us and 442 for that dang Baby Faye! Such pressure!
Darn!! How do you make more then one account (for different email addresses?) ?
When I click the link it just automatically signs me in…? baby faye will not win!!
You have to log out and then sign up as a new account BUT I did that and I can’t vote with the 2 other accounts now even though I log out and sign in with the different account. It worked at first and now the last few days it doesn’t.
Darnit
I got us up to within 4 of the dog.
I log out, then sign up with bogus email addresses (such as bbbbgggg@nowhere.com). I currently have my own account plus Accounts Dono1-Dono10. They work on and off. I think that they have some sort of IP thing set up so that only 5 votes can come from the same IP in the same day. I have been able to vote 5 times here at the office and then another 5 at night from home.
Mmmm that’s weird because I can’t do more than 1 and I have 3 differen’t emails…
Keep trying, sometimes we can do multiple log ins and sometimes we can not. I just try to log in multiple times each day.
OK 547 us to 541 that dog!
Gotta be careful. Third place pooch is gaining ground quick!
574 buns to 571 that dog… keep voting!!!
Just voted: early this morning and the baby buns are IN THE LEAD!!! 626 vs. 604
It’s still very close, but whoohooo!
(have you seen those cocker spaniel puppies? Woof. So much cuter than Faye, though still not in the same category as Lassen & Danelli.)
Wow, petsource.org just deleted all of my accounts.
Well now it’s that dog 643 to 642 us.
Keep voting!!! We are 4 behind. 728 to 724.
Ahead: 745 vs. 744 (I broke a tie! Talk about my vote counting!)
746 vs. 744 from my vote!
Me and the buns just raised it from 750-755 Take THAT Baby Faye!
here’s the link:
http://petsource.org/Contest.aspx?contest_id={E48FE836-3F47-47EA-840E-2EA8520FD5E3}
I don’t think Baby Faye is the threat anymore. Take a look at how quickly #3 is catching up. It seems like he’s getting 75 votes a day.
Yeah I saw that this morning but that one was 200 votes behind at the time!
I have 9 accounts but it will only let me vote 5 times.
Whats happened to the voting? they do not show you who is in front anymore.
Yeah, something is weird with the site. The votes do not show up, and you cannot vote anymore. Maybe something is broken on their site or they are doing a backup.
You can vote again, but you cannot see the vote tally for some reason.
I wonder if they are doing this deliberately. Maybe they think seeing the number of votes is creating too much competition???
Or making people suspicious about an ugly dog….LOL
I can’t even log in my email … nothing now!
Really? I can log in just fine. I voted about an hour ago.
My 5 personalities voted again today. 🙂 Keep going everyone, we have to beat that mutt.
Voted yesterday and just now. Still can’t see the tally.
Yep no tally and no being able to sort by most or least votes. That is very odd they did that with no explanation.
I just voted on my work pc … I could not vote on my home lappy last night … who knows what is going on!
That dog needs a face lift LOL.
Dawn xx
I think that they removed the numbers to stop people from flooding the place until their pet was X ahead or so on. So that it isn’t a constant race. However, I have a feeling that after you vote, the pics pop up in the order of first to last. Right now Sophia has passed Baby Faye in votes but it seems our buns are still in the lead.
Funny that…the buns have surpassed and stayed there ahead of Baby Faye after the number fo votes was removed…
You know what’s weird is after you vote, the other two dogs appear next to ours when they have been lower in the order. So it must mean we 3 are still in the lead.
Just wanted to let you know, osprey, that I’ve been voting twice everyday since this thread was started, with the two email addresses that I currently use. In fact, I just got done voting right before coming here, LOL !
I wish you much luck and I will continue to do my part along with all the other BB members :o))
You know what I always thought was funny-when you *could* see the number of votes? How many had zero votes!! Like you submitted the pic and your too daft to vote for it?
Thanks for the continuing support, folks. $1000 translates to a bunch of spay/neuters, which is where the money will end up if we win.
that would be so awesome if lassen & denali won. go team bunny!
5 more votes for me, keep going everyone.
Keep voting everyone, 5 more votes for me.
Why is it our picture is always at the bottom?
The initial sorting is newest at the top, oldest at the bottom. Our picture was the second one submitted, so it is down at the bottom with the old ones.
Click on “Sort by oldest first” that’s what I do. Easier than scrolling for it.
Oh wow that makes sense! I’m an idiot…
Oh stop you are not. At least Osprey was on the ball and got the picture up early enough so it is easy to find.
i think osprey may still be in the lead because it comes to the top when you vote, and although it doesnt say it thats the way it usually worked before they stopped u seeing the numbers
I hope at the end they tell you how many votes everyone got.
I added my 3 votes.
Who knows how the voting system works …. But I hope the bunnies win.
I’m still voting every day too!
And Again.
It seems such a long time for a competition to run …. yes and I agree some people will forget as it is dragging on.
Still …. lets go for it!
Voted again, I seem to be able to vote 5 times.
I’m still voting, just haven’t had much time to post!
GO BUNNIES!!!
Kathy
I did mine too today (3 votes). Strange how it wont accept my vote through my yahoo email.
Keep going everyone, May will be here before you know it.
I vote every day. I bookmarked the site and then put the bookmark at the top of my menu, so that I see it every day
I can only vote once!! I even make a new account every time….
We are in the lead!!
i voted.. i didnt see numbers there again though.. are we winning?
I think we are, every time I vote Lassen and Danali come to the top of the list. 5 more votes for me today.
I’ve been voting every day, too.
I put my 3 in for today …. HUH how come there are so many cats up there …. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr speaking of cats … two toms were fighting and howling outside my bedroom window last night … darn things … you can see where they have been scrapping in the dirt … The neighbour has about 4 next door …. I can’t stand them … they always over my way doing their business in my garden!
One good thing when I had my sister’s dog sleep over … she kept them away hehe.
I manage to get 5 votes everyday.
keep voting everyone!! i think we may be in the lead still
WOOHOO!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUNNIES!
god we nearly have another month to go!
I know, I am trying not to think about that!
Just did my 3 for today … over my lunch break … frittata and salad.
2nd of May is the finish, isn’t it?
My provided had problems yesterday, I couldn’t vote and it killed me.
5 votes today tho.
Oh I added my 3 again …. sometimes I have touble deciphering the text .. does anyone else or is it just ME!
I have trouble with those too. The new capchas on MySpace are impossible too. Maybe I am just getting old….
Yes I have trouble also, I thought it may have been me as I am nearly as blind as a bat. 🙂
5 more again today.
I have trouble too! Sometimes they are a bit too blury and you can’t tell if it is capitalized or not.
Thank godness I am not the only one …. oh another 3 votes for me today.
5 more today.
Keep voting! We want Osprey to win this thing!
Finish line is getting close, keep going everyone.
Don’t forget to vote everyone, that dogs getting close again.
We can’t let the dogs win! Rabbits Rule!
5 more votes. Think we have 5 more days left until we know who wins, I can’t wait.
Thanks for keeping up with this, folks. We are almost there! I keep having this nagging bad feeling that they are going to somehow disqualify me and take away the prize. Keeping fingers crossed!
Plenty of good ***vibes*** and prayers that you come out on top!
Good vibes here too. Crossing fingers for you.
Why on earth would you think they would disqualify you??? We are all legit!
5 more today. Not long to go.
I’ve been putting my votes in all week … there are a few new pics of people’s pets … Baby Brunno the bunny is very cute as well as Pancake coming out of his … Hey but I still voted for those cute white bunnies lol
I hear ya Dawn!
Put in my last vote as it seems the contest closes today.
I hope my deduction about the pet in the lead is the first one shown after you vote. Otherwise, Brunno has gone from being entered yesterday to 10th place.
Must have been my last 5 votes. I am crossing my fingers that Osprey’s bunnies won.
still took votes today… my fingers are crossed for lassen & denali too
When do we get the results??? *edge of seat*
I have no clue, there is very little information on the website. The contest ends May 2, but I do not know what time zone they use. I hope to get email from them soon, I will let everyone know.
oo i just popped on to see if you’d heard anything!! i really really really reallly hope they won
ooo the site now says they won – if you click to vote – the picture is in RED and says WINNERS!
YAY!
YAY! Excellent job by everyone that voted, pats on the backs for all of us.
I was just interviewed by my local newspaper, they are going to do a story about us next week. petsource.org has a new photo contest up, about “Pets at Work”. Hey Markus, want to submit a picture of Maryann and Dono on your desk at work and try to win a prize for SaveABunny?
Just submitted a photo. Hope people like it as it is a lil’ small on the bun side.
I voted twice, they are in the lead :-}
