A few days ago we told you how the cat sanctuary housing Michael Jackson‘s tigers Thriller and Sabu was in the path of the California wildfires.

Now, we learn another animal charity is threatened by the blazes.

Linda Blair runs a dog sanctuary in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, the World Heart Foundation.

She’s getting anxious about the fires spreading and coming closer to the grounds.

“The last 24 hours have been incredibly scary and we are no where near being out of the woods. We have been informed that the containment dates for this fire, at this time, are going past Labor Day (07Sept09). This means we’ve got a ways to go (sic) before we aren’t on edge any more.”

Linda is asking for help if the fires reach the sanctuary.

You can follow Linda’s updates on the sanctuary and the fires at lindablairworldheart.org.

“In 1988 I was reading an article on pesticides, acid rain and how we farm animals and that’s what made me go vegetarian. And it’s certainly changed my life. I’ve never had a weight problem since. I don’t change weight. And if anyone knows how old I am, you know that there’s something to it. You just become much more aware of foods and the atrocities to animals, what we’re doing to the animals, the planet; the fact is that everything goes hand in hand. Environmentally, how we farm animals affects the environment, affects the riverbeds, affects the ocean, affects the air, and that’s what a lot of people don’t realize.”
—vegan actress Linda Blair, in an interview. She’s best known for playing a possessed child, Regan, in the 1970s film, The Exorcist.
