All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence" ~Mahatma Gandhi ************************************************"The animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth"~Henry Beston, The Outermost House, 1928 ************************************************"To a man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable in the sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man who causes it is a criminal. But thousands of animals are uselessly butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. If any man were to refer to it, he would be thought ridiculous. And that is the unpardonable crime". ~Romain Rolland, Nobel Prize 1915PLEASE HELP ZEKE!!!!!"HUMAN FREEDOM, ANIMAL RIGHTS - ONE STRUGGLE, ONE FIGHT!"Full petition link -http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/674149185?z00m=99 055..1176684796

"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer."-- Ken Kesey *******************His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, Andy Warhol, Oscar Wilde, Dylan Thomas, Richard Burton, Debbie Harry, François Truffaut, Sir Christopher Frayling, Rex Harrison, Dirk Bogarde, Vincent Price, William Blake, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Edgar Allen Poe, Haskell Wexler Brian Eno, Leslie Kenton, Salvador Dali, Owain Glendwr, Sir John Soanes, Orson Welles, Aubrey Beardsley, Jack Cardiff, Stella McCartney, Dr Phibes, The Krell, Roger Corman, Nicolas Roeg, Ken Kesey, Powell & Pressburger, Luchino Visconti, Elio Fiorucci, Cindy Sherman, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Michelangelo, William Friedkin, Jean Cocteau Terry De Havilland, Barbara Hulanicki & Biba, Anoushka Hempel, Verner Panton, Frank Lloyd Wright, Vince Clarke, Kit Williams, M.A.C VIVA GLAM, ONE Campaign, WSPA, GREENPEACE, P.E.T.A, Heart Of The Wolf, KWF Wolf Conservation.
