About Me

Hi there, I truly welcome any new friends. What you should know before adding me is that I post many bulletins that have to do with animals. If this is not something you are into, please reconsider the add. My mission is to save as many animals as possible. Most of the friends on my list are people who feel the same way. We post and repost bulletins for each other constantly. If you want to join in, WELCOME!!!! If you dont mind what I do... WELCOME!!! Thank you for your time and understanding! Chris (OH, PS... I just started a new profile (see my #1 friend spot) for friends, inspirational and whatever it turns into, stuff... the animal bulletins/blogs will be here, the other stuff with be there...)

Awesome painting created by http://www.myspace.com/veganart.."Addressing the real issues of crime, poverty, animal abuse, ignorance, greed and mans lust for violence is far too daunting a task for most people... So we blame the dogs for our social ills..."

-Karen Delise




Karma is the spiritual law of justice Which makes us experience The good and the bad effects of what we do to others So, if we harm animals by killing them, Eating them, or experimenting on them, We will have to suffer analogous experiences Ourselves in the future Or at least have to undergo some form of suffering Only when we ourselves go through What the animals have been through Will we definitely know that hurting animals is wrong So eventually we will develop an empathy A belief in our kinship with all sentient beings Including animals. It is interesting to note, also, That if we are kind to animals, Kindness and happiness flow back to us. The Buddha says that if you perform One act of kindness to an animal, You will be recompensed a hundredfold.

Cool Myspace Contact Tables If slaughterhouses had glass walls, Everyone would be a vegetarian. The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? But, Can they suffer? Until he extends his circle of compassion To all living things, Man will not himself find peace. The greatness of a nation and its moral progress Can be judged by the way its animals are treated... I hold that, the more helpless a creature, The more entitled it is to protection by man From the cruelty of man ..

My Interests

I am a vegetarian working on vegan.
I say this is a fine replacement for meat anyday! (Boca Veggie Burger)

Animal Rights... (I am a total animal rights advocate and wish that everyone would purchase only products that DO NOT TEST ON ANIMALS... The testing that is done, which is completely unnecessary, would literally take your breath away. Oh and people, they are testing on mice, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, etc... It is OUTRAGEOUS and shocking that it is still allowed to go on... Its so easy to switch to cruelty free products. There are SO many! Please see the following links for lists of companies that do and do NOT test on animals: (these are just a few of the many links available)www.caringconsumer.com www.allforanimals.com www.stopanimaltests.com
Animal Rescue... spay and neuter your furry kids and look to shelters for adopting...
Also, consider visiting shelters to play with the animals that are there... Bring a little happiness and stimulation to their days :) It really makes a difference in their lives...
Standing up for the Pit Bull! A beautiful breed getting a really bad rap due to BAD PEOPLE! (there are no bad dogs!)
