I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

THIS PROFILE IS RATED PG
FOR CONTENT. THERE ARE
SOME MILDLY GRAPHIC PHOTOS
AND VIDEOS
CONTAINED BELOW.



This is a space where
I can proclaim my interest
and dedication to
preventing animal cruelty,
and promoting animal rights,
animal freedom, and
veganism.
If you'd like to learn more
about me personally:
my interests,
favorite music
and movies are on this
page and feel free to
add me as a friend
and send me a personal
greeting. (See below
regarding friend requests.)

I'd like to meet:


People with something interesting
to say AND share about: musical tastes
we have in common,
animal rights, animal freedom,
animal welfare, veganism,
and prevention
of cruelty to animals.


Regarding friends requests:

I'm only going to add you
as a friend if you have a MySpace page
I'm interested in checking on
from time to time. That means you
probably have a common interest
of mine or you've gotten me interested
in you and/or your interests.
Everybody else isn't going to be
added as a friend so if you're turned down,
please don't take it personally.
Although I'm sure you won't,
I'm not that significant in the world,
ha ha ha!

I'm also unlikely to add you/your profile
as a friend if:

(1) Your profile is mostly empty of
personalized biography information
about you a.k.a. it's BOring.
If you don't have anything to say,
why should I be interested in you ?
Talk yourself up !

(2) You openly and noticeably promote
any illegal animal activist activities
or questionable organizations
who are reputed to engage in illegal
activities. I just can't and won't
support that, not ethically and
certainly not in a political climate
where ALL animal activists are hastily
and wrongly assumed to be
"domestic terrorists."

(3) Your MySpace page isn't mostly
written in English, so therefore
I can't read or understand it.
(Nothing personal against you, I
just don't know any other languages,
sorry.)

Animal Abuse From A-Z
Why do you think people like myself
work for animal rights,
the liberation and freedom
of animals?
Below are practices where cruelty
and abuse occur against
animals, our fellow creatures
that share our planet
with us.
A lot of things are going on
behind the scenes of
businesses from many industries,
things that you don’t know
about, things that are being
concealed from you,
that you would find are
the stuff of nightmares
happening to animals.
If you like and care about animals
at all, then these
practices will offend you and
you will want them to stop.
My links below will lead you
to articles where you
can learn about these
abuses and cruelties...
and I hope you will wish to
DO something about stopping
and preventing them
from continuing to happen!!
(Some items on the list
you may initially think are
not cruelties to
animals, but perhaps
if you read some articles
and reconsider some of you what
think you know already
and think about it
from the animals' point of view,
putting yourself in their place,
then you may have
an awakening,
a new realization, and a new disregard
for these practices:
