Ethical treatment for animals AND humans!

Here's some food for thought: 1968 was the year I decided to find out why people were hungry in the world. The experts were telling us that the population problem was the cause of scarcity. But were we really out of food? Did we really have to throw some people out of the lifeboat? The truth was that we were feeding a third of the world's grain to livestock, and with very little return. It was about POLICY not scarcity. I wanted to put flyers all over campus, saying, "Wait, we made this mistake--we can unmake it!" That became my first book, Diet for a Small Planet, in 1971. ~~Frances Moore Lappe, 64, activist, Small Planet Institute, Cambridge Massachusetts.

I love what my horsey friends are doing, but I thought it might help to have some positive, beautiful pics up of these majestic creatures instead of the dreary horrid pics that break ones heart. "We have almost forgotten how strangea thing it is that so huge and powerful and intelligent an animal as a horse should allow another, and far more feeble animal, to ride upon its back."---Peter Gray "With flowing tail and flying mane, Wide nostrils, never stretched by pain, Mouths bloodless to the bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod A thousand horses - the wild - the free - Like waves that follow o'er the sea, Came thickly thundering on." -- Lord Byron
