Bowling for Rhinos new improved begging post

This Sunday the zookeeper association I belong to is doing our Bowling for Rhinos event! I already have one very generous pledge which I am quite grateful for (something special coming your way, B). But just now I was wondering: how can I increase my pledge amount with so little time to go, without being an annoying beggar? Then I remembered what I did last time: I offered up the chance to make me photograph zoo animals and post them here!

That worked, so I’ll do it again: GO OVER TO MY PLEDGE PAGE, and pledge any amount (I suggest 5 dollars if you feel as cash strapped as I do these days) and tell me what zoo animal you’d like me to photograph and post about.

ALTERNATELY: if you live in the Boston area and would like to bowl with us on Sunday, we have some spaces left. Email me (my email address is in my profile info) your desire to do so (put BOWLING FOR RHINOS in the subject line so I don’t miss it) and I’ll put you on the list. It’s 15 dollars to bowl, and you get food and soda for free; There will be prizes for the best bowlers and for the most pledges raised.

I was wavering but now I'm in. I'll double my measly pledge if you post a photo of a zoo animal eating an invasive species. Has to be a recent photo, no archives :-).

Now that I know I have a job, I donated $5. I like rodents, bats, turtles, frogs/toads, owls, cats, and almost everything else, but don't feel obligated to post something for me.

I donated $10 using the paypal acct I share with my ex. He likes animals too. Picture? Capybara, warthog, something like that

Rhino, horse, tapir, zebra, indricotherium.

Do you think Rhinos should be evacuated from parks in Africa that have experienced poaching? Move them someplace safer?
