I operate a self funded wildlife shelter from my home, and also train people to become wildlife fostercarers. I have also had horses most of my life, and at one time started a horse rescue group when I lived in Queensland.

I have recently started art classes, like to write poetry and prose, read good books, dine out and have just upgraded my digital camera so will be learning how to be a better photographer.

Oh, and I have just "adopted" a orangutan orphan named Natalie - the adoptions only cost $55 a year so if anyone is interested I will give the site addy :)

I have a 13 year old miniature cinnamon coloured poodle called Chloe and a King Parrot named Zen - plus whatever wildlife comes in.

Animals, reading good books, writing poetry and prose, taking photos, playing Pogo games on the internet, forums (I haven't belonged to a good forum for a while so I am happy to find this one).

Cruelty, deceit, wars, G W Bush, corrupt politicians, hunting for pleasure

I have been caring for orphaned and injured wildlife for 17 years now, but don't know if it will count as a hobby as it's hard work :)) I write, I'm going to art class, Pogo Games, networking with internet friends, horseride (although I don't have a horse at the moment), dining out with friends, photography
