THE DIVINE LOVERS: RadhaKrishna

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, & then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~ Harold Thurman

"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men." ~ Alice Walker, The Color Purple





"More than 4,000 gallons (15,000 liters) of water are needed to produce a single day's worth of food for the typical meat eater. In comparison, an ovo-lacto vegetarian requires only 1,200 gallons (4,500 l) of water, & a vegan needs a mere 300 gallons (1,135 l)."
~ Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook






"Giant livestock farms, which can house hundreds of thousands of pigs, chickens, or cows, produce vast amounts of waste. In fact, in the U.S., these 'factory farms' generate more than 130 times the amount of waste that people do… [& have] polluted more than 27,000 miles (44,000 km) of rivers & contaminated groundwater in dozens of states."
~ Natural Resources Defense Council



"At U.S. feedlots & factory farms, more than a trillion pounds of manure are deposited every year. On that scale & at such concentrations, a perfectly natural substance can become a toxic one."
~ Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation



"I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her"
~ Ellen DeGeneres



Before you see a DOLPHIN show, consider >> this.
"Animals are God's creatures, not human property, nor utilities, nor resources, nor commodities, but precious beings in God's sight. ... Christians whose eyes are fixed on the awfulness of crucifixion are in a special position to understand the awfulness of innocent suffering. The Cross of Christ is God's absolute identification with the weak, the powerless, & the vulnerable, but most of all with unprotected, undefended, innocent suffering."
~ Rev. Andrew Linzey
