Warm animals
To dissolve your old sweater and donate a frozen penguin or breeder warm jumper can truly master with a big heart.
When last year a ship with full container of oil ran aground off the East coast of new Zealand, blue penguins were one of many animals affected by the oil spill. Once the oil gets on the body of a bird in such numbers, there is a rapid loss of heat, but until their feathers are completely soaked in oil, the birds can't allow themselves to be cleaned. And at the same time, they need to stay warm until the rescuers will do everything possible to remove all contamination from the feathers.
To help animals, shop for knitting "Scans" (Skeinz), in New Zealand, issued a call for help to all masters with a request to link little sweaters for needy penguins. Knitters quilters responded from all over the world!
The titles of the blogs on the Internet shouting "we are the rain of jerseys" "We have reached critical mass" — but Scans kept asking knitters to send in their work to "collect supply for the rescue team if need be."
And it's not the only example of this type of assistance.
Rarely cellular and laying hens manage to escape from the cruel fate and find a new, happy fate. But the center for rescue birds "Little Hen Rescue" in the UK to make that a reality.
The organization works with farmers for possible "other options — alternatives to destruction", and finds a new home rescued the birds after their captivity in the cells. This in itself is fine, but now thanks to the generosity of the knitting club at Monkton Elm (Monkton Elm Garden & Pet Centre) and other artists from around the world, the bird can keep warm in a warm jumper, despite the lack of feathers after years of abuse.
"The hens usually come to us from farms almost bald, without feathers and with serious weight loss," says Miranda (Miranda McPherson), head of the rescue centre. "The bird will quickly gain weight and grow new feathers with the right care, and the recovery period keep them warm, knit sweaters".
By the way, a few large chain grocery stores in the UK like Marks & Spencer and Waitrose have already refused to sell eggs from "cage of chickens". On sale are eggs from a "bird outside the cage", that is free-range. Europe has supported this initiative in January 2012, prohibited the use of the typical of the battery cage for laying hens.
When there is a desire to help, the masters show their originality and inventing incredible things.
For example, to warm a favorite tree in the cold season, especially for him girl knitted warm jumper. "Hug the tree, hold it for a moment. Tie sweater, warm him for the whole winter," says Erica.
