Use abuse and discard. That's what those who wage war, gain wealth from war, do when usefulness is no longer viable. Please share this for others to see. These critters deserve the respect they've earned by serving this country. PLEASE GO TO THE LINK & SIGN PETITION! [...]

Circus Act

The more I hear about these dispicable acts the more I am determined to spread the word for these animals.  Some may look away and think there isn't anything they can do to change it.  That is far from true.  We can make a difference by spreading the word to our friends and family.  Maybe they didn't know.  Maybe they didn't realize what goes on behind the scenes.  Now is your chance to spread awareness.  Be the voice they don't have.  I would never take my child to a Circus.  This is not what animals were meant to do.  They are not supposed to suffer for our amusement! [...]

Why I made a Change in what I Buy

Leather and Fur

Because skin is the most economically important co-product of the meat industry, buying leather directly contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses—and all the cruelty involved. Purchasing the skins of cows raised in the U.S. likely pays for the horrors of factory farming, including castration, branding, tail-docking, and dehorning—all without any painkillers. Leather sourced from developing countries such as India and China may have come from animals who experienced untold suffering—such as being dismembered while they're still conscious—since animal welfare laws there are either non-existent or not enforced.[...]

Bear Farming

 This hideously cruel practice must be stopped. 

The Animals Asia Foundation (AAF) has worked tirelessly to address the plight of the thousands of bears suffering on bile farms throughout Asia. After years of campaigning, AAF was able to get the China Wildlife Conservation Association to sign an agreement that allowed for the rescue of 500 endangered moon bears from the worst farms in Sichuan Province. The ultimate goal of the agreement is to work toward the elimination of all bear farming in China and to promote herbal alternatives to bear bile.[...]

Never be Silent

  • Because animals can't ask for the abuse to stop.
  • Because they have their own familes just like we do.
  • Because all skins and furs are stolen from their original owners.
  • Just because it's still legal...doesn't make it right!
  • Because a life at the end of a chain...alone, neglected and forgotten??  Isn't what he had in mind when he was brought home.
  • Because for them this isn't fun... Its tourment.
  • Because there is a compassionate way to do everything.
  • Because they want to be loved to.
  • Never be silent...
  • Because you know this is wrong.
  • Might does not equal right.
  • People who expolit animals may not be ready for animal rights. But the animals are ready! They've been ready! And we better not let them down.
  • Speak for them!  Be their voice!   They are waiting!
