Who WOULDN'T support this change?!

from Sue Lee T.  Vline2  Apr 30

I cannot stand by while others suffer.  And doing so would be unconscionable.   So I do what I can: donate to animal rights groups, write letters, adopt rescues, learn more, spread the word.

WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE?

from Jamaka P.  Vline2  Mar 09

The last time I checked, all living beings were created by One Creator, Who cherishes each and every one, despite what some of us may mistakenly or despairingly think.  Who are we, as the self-appointed crown of creation, to think that because by our own criteria we are "smarter" than members of other species, we have the right to abuse them, exploit them, and/or take their lives?  To the contrary, this shows our inferiority as a species and our piteously inadequate abilities to exercise intelligent thought and compassion on behalf of those who only show us unconditional love and loyalty, and who, contrary to what some may think, were NOT put here for the use of the human species.  To paraphrase Mohandas K. Gandhi, 'the greatness of a nation exists in the way it treats its animals'.  I'm sure I didn't get that quote word for word, but that is the gist of his thought, and it is an informed and eternally true thought, to which I would add that the intelligence and greatness of an individual exists in the way (s)he extends compassion, respect, kindness and understanding not only to friends, the powerful, and colleagues, but also to what some religious leaders call "the least of these".  Think about it.  Someday, YOU might find yourself helpless and voiceless.

Just why?

from Mariah M.  Vline2  Mar 03

Why do people hurt animals??? Animals are like family to many pet owners. Do you see all those signs on the streets trying to locate peoples lost animals and even offering an award?
