part of their soul remains unawakened"--Anatole France
"Humaneness is not a dead external precept, but a living impulse from within; not self-sacrifice, but self-fulfillment." -- Henry Salt
“Unseen they suffer,
unheard they cry,
in agony they linger,
in loneliness they die.â€

If you add me to your friends, please be aware that I do post bulletins to help the animals. I noticed that quite often after I do, someone deletes me. At first I was offended...now I just don’t give a shit! If a bulletin to help the animals I love so much on your "home page" bothers you, then you must be pretty shallow and I don’t want YOU as a friend.......
"Good riddance!!"
"The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is indissolubly connected to the fate of men."
--Emile Zola
And to all animal lovers, we need to unite for our animal friends.....
The more voices there are, the louder we can be, and then just maybe.....
someone, somewhere will hear us!
And lastly, to all my "real" friends I have now, and the new ones in the future, thank you for being you!!!!
* Bill of Rights for Animals *
1. All animals are born with an equal claim on life and the same rights to existence.
2. All animals are entitled to respect. Humanity as an animal species shall not arrogate to itself the right to exterminate or exploit other species. It is humanity's duty to use its knowledge for the welfare of animals. All animals have the right to the attention, care, and protection of humanity.
3. No animals shall be ill-treated or be subject to cruel acts.
4. All wild animals have the right to liberty in their natural environment, whether land, air, or water, and should be allowed to procreate. Deprivation of freedom, even for educational purposes, is an infringement of this right.
5. Animals of species living traditionally in a human environment have the right to live and grow at the rhythm and under the conditions of life and freedom peculiar to their species. Any interference by humanity with this rhythm or these conditions for purposes of gain is an infringement of this right.
6. All companion animals have the right to complete their natural life span. Abandonment of an animal is a cruel and degrading act.
7. Animal experimentation involving physical or psychological suffering is incompatible with the rights of animals, whether it be for scientific, medical, commercial, or any other form of research. Replacement methods must be used and developed.
8. No animal shall be exploited for the amusement of humanity. Exhibitions and spectacles involving animals are incompatible with their dignity.
9. Any act involving the wanton killing of the animals is biocide, that is, a crime against life.
10. Any act involving the mass killing of wild animals is genocide, that is, a crime against the species. Pollution or destruction of the natural environment leads to genocide.
