Hi. Firstly I would like to thank everyone for joining this group. Thanks everyone.

The group guidelines are as follows:
German: [link] Portuguese: [link]
French: [link] Polish: [link] Italian: [link]
Hungarian [link] Spanish [link]

Guidelines:

1. No pornographic or dead animals will be accepted. (The only exception to this is if it is a picture of a museum animal or museum bones.)

2. Submissions are limited to 2/per week.

3. Only members may submit their works. So please join 1st.

4. No STOLEN works. If caught submitting work that is not your own and you are trying to pass it off as yours, you will be BANNED.

5. No anthro or adoptables either please. No animals doing human-like things either. Thanks

6. Animals must be the obvious subject of any art. If we feel the animal is not, we will decline it.

7. All art must be your best work. Photos that are really out of focus and blurry, or the colors badly distorted will not be accepted. (Changing the colors for a more dramatic affect is fine. This only qualifies when it takes away from the shot.) Drawings must be neat and subject clear. (Example: a cat must look like a cat and not a blob etc. ) And so on and so forth. (I know not everyone is a perfect artist, and we are not looking for the best art. We just want to make sure that what is submitted is something others would like to see, and not just a random doodle.)

8. To make #7. fair you will now need 3 votes either to accept or decline a piece. With a group this large we cannot take time to respond to everyone, but if you are declined (Which I know won't be much.) you can always leave a comment asking why. We will try to respond in a timely manner.

9. Only the Admins and myself may add to the featured folder. This will be for our personal favorites. I am sure all of you will have something in there from time to time.

10. Because of how large the group has gotten, please make sure your works are submitted to the correct folders. If you are unsure where something belongs - ASK, we will gladly direct you to the correct folder. Things submitted into incorrect folders will be declined without redirection.

11. If anyone is RUDE, or DISRESPECTFUL to any of the Admins, fellow members or myself they will banned. I am not going to tolerate it at all, or from anyone. So please respect everyone here.

Watermarks..We reserve the right to decline an otherwise acceptable shot if,in our opinion the Watermark takes away from the shot,or our ability to view it fully.
Note:We accept that you have the right to protect your work,just please use (or place)Watermarks that don't detract from your work
