- About Me:
- I love animals of all sorts. I believe we are here to protect them. We must share the earth with all forms of life. I am the Educational Materials Coordinator for www.harpseals.org. Please check out the link and find out what you can do to stop this barbaric slaughter. I also enjoy knitting and crocheting. I am presently involved in projects to send handmade items to the soldiers overseas and the children in Afghanistan.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
*** Mahatma Gandhi
Shelters and foster homes are completely overwhelmed with trying to care for dogs and cats. They literally have no more space! What does this mean? It means that over 800 dogs and cats or puppies and kittens will be euthanized every hour of everyday. If you don't spay and neuter your pets, this is 100% your fault. No bones about it.
People like me who care for ferals, rescue homeless animals that are stranded or even foster animals have lives, careers, families and our own pets. We use our own time and money to help these homeless animals because if we don't, who will? For every feral cat that is walking around pregnant or every dog that goes into heat, there is an irresponsible human to blame. Not having the money is no excuse. There are spay/neuter clinics in every major city that will sterilize your pet for free. There are low-cost vet clinics everywhere.
For every person that leaves a box of kittens in front of an animal shelter or gives away a litter of puppies in front of Wal-Mart, you are contributing to the problem. If those of us in the animal welfare community could have you sterilized, believe me, we would. As irresponsible breeds irresponsible. Only 1 of every 10 dogs ever finds a loving and permanent home. Only 1 of every 12 cats ever finds a loving and permanent home. There are homeless animals everywhere and this issue is beyond out of control. Many of these animals will literally starve or freeze to death this winter. This is a sad fact that most of society chooses not to know.
If you breed animals and sell them, you are contributing to the death of shelter animals who are waiting to be adopted. So, the best thing people can do is only adopt from shelters (do NOT purchase from breeders) and please spay and neuter your pets. There is no excuse in not doing this, at least none that anyone will find acceptable. Sweet, loving and deserving animals who are waiting to be adopted are euthanized by the thousands. Their only crime was being born. If you will make it your personal policy to be responsible for your pets and educate your own friends and family on this issue, the entire animal population will benefit greatly.
Many members of society burden others because of their own lack of responsibility. No animal or person should have to suffer because of this. It all starts with you. If you are adult enough to pay taxes or buy alcohol, you should be adult enough to spay and neuter your pet.

Isn't Man~
Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife - birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes and dingoes - by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more… Continue

Vegan Philosphy
The term philosophy is often used to mean a set of basic values and attitudes toward life, nature and society. In this sense, Veganism is a "Philosophy of Life," guided by what I envision as an essential core of values and principles:
• Vegans see life as a phenomenon to be treasured, revered and respected. We do not see animals as either "The Enemy" to be subdued, or the Materials for Food, Fabric or Fun that were put on Earth for human use.
• Vegans see themselves as a part of the natural wor… Continue

Pro-life vs pro-choice
I actually left this wonderful (I am back now) site because of getting all hot and bothered about a discussion regarding abortion vs veganism and so on and so fourth. I have one thing to say to those of you who seem to feel you can judge what people, mainly women do with their own bodies, mind your own business. Having been a rape survivor I know first hand what it feels like to be in a very difficult situation! Those of you that get on your damn soap box and preach that being vegan and having a… Continue
