winterbadgerOne of my friends has a link in their profile to a simply terrific website that I want to promote too.
It's Herorat.org, which publicises and supports the work of training and supporting rats who help detect landmines (by smell) to aid in de-mining efforts and other rats who detect TB in sputum samples, helping in early detection and treatment of tuberculosis. I think I will donate to support a rat--these are both very worthy causes, and having little ratty guys do these jobs helps lots of people with (apparently) very little risk to the rats.
Even Nicholas, pictured above, supports this band of heroic rats! (OK, I asked him if I could say he supported it, and he sort of glared at me because I haven't gotten catdinner yet, but I'm sure he *would*...)
