That's a great idea Sam, but I'm not sure you'll get a huge amount of support from GFY ... there's as many 'cat on fire' movies posted here as there is porn!
I run an animal rights website and work with a few groups here in Australia but generally its a very disjointed movement. ASPCA is the best place to start to find local shelters in your area ... every $50 helps, and you adopting your pets from the pound in the first place is the BEST thing you can do. But you could also help a great deal by volunteering at your local shelter or pound. All of the animals that people abandon have to be taken care of, brushed, cleaned, cages swept, food provided etc etc
I am going to ask for guests to my xmas party this year to bring along a tin of pet food to donate to a shelter nearby. That's a nice easy way to get people involved without asking for cash or too much.
You can also lobby your local politicians in regards to animal welfare laws ... WSPA recently took a petition to the UN to attempt to get animal rights defined in the same clear way as human rights. Find your local independant politician who has a passion for animals and see if you can help out ...
Hope that helps ;-)
