Originally from Ireland, the Faroe Islands (see slide show below!) have been my home since 1990. I love the sea and the rugged beauty of these 18 beautiful islands lying in the middle of the North Atlantic.*************************************************** **********I am a former member of Amnesty International, a vegetarian and a pro-life activist on several fronts. I became a vegetarian in July 2002 when I saw the link between the developement of unborn children and the intelligence and capacity of animals to feel pain. I could not continue to speak out against torture, the death penalty and abortion, yet remain indifferent to the suffering of animals in so many avoidable circumstances, creatures also gifted with the breath of life. Neither could I continue eating meat knowing that the grain being used to feed animals in order to produce meat for human beings could go directly towards feeding many desperately poor and hungry people - to their advantage and with far less damaging consequences for our health, animal welfare and the environment. I ceased to be a member of Amnesty International in 2005 (after years of active membership), having written many letters seeking straight answers to questions regarding their developing policy on "reproductive rights", specifically abortion. My suspicions were proved correct in June 2007, and later in August 2007 when AI decided to support abortion. I cannot understand how an organization founded by a Catholic to defend the defenseless and the voiceless - especially their right to life and security of person - can now support access to and decriminalization of abortion: an inherently violent act against the unborn, women and men. I have a special place in my heart for the many men and women suffering silently from the unspoken pain of abortion and keep you in my prayer.***************************************************** ******** In fact, I pray for all my friends in my space and for all those who drop by to view my profile :) I would like my space to be a place of dialogue. I also hope it will be a source of blessing ...********************************************************* **** ************************************************************ *Save The World - One Click At A Time!
