The Water Meadow

Once Again Mark Stewart Brilliantly Captures A Moment In Time

The Water Meadow – The ramp beneath his feet was made of metal – it was always metal or concrete, never grass or hay, or even sawdust – and the ridges in the metal surface that he had to clamber over hurt his feet, knocking and jarring, adding to the numerous bruises that had already been inflicted. He was beaten with a stick as he climbed; savage blows as harsh as the shouts and curses that also fell upon him, goading him into the narrow, roofed enclosure.

Volunteering – An African Experience

Volunteering – An African Experience

The Highs And Lows

Volunteering – An African Experience – There are few things more gratifying than giving  your time – energy – money and passion to a person – animal or cause that is bigger then you perceive yourself to be. To do a “good” deed – not because you have to but because you want to. Learning the art of giving at a young age is a gift that pays you back many times over as you mature. It was with all the right intentions that a young woman set off for Africa to give of her time and her heart.

ABH – Inspirational Sayings – April 2015 – If there is one thing that I know – it’s that all people who love animals have their hearts nicked or broken every day. But then we focus on the task at hand – which is creating awareness to help them – and get back to doing the job that stirs our passions and helps to correct human wrongs!

Why We Need To Wake Up – Get Involved – And Take Back Our Planet

There Is Rot At The Core Of The Human Heart. I know that many people are wonderful and if you put ten people in a room – I’m betting that at least eight of them are fine, upstanding citizens. Of the eight – maybe one or two are really engaged with the world. The rest are just going along day by day not wanting to rock the proverbial boat. So it seems that we have about two bad guys and a couple of really good guys out of every ten people.

 A Life in Bondage

Elephant Slavery – Part 2 – We owe a debt of gratitude to Lek Chailert of Elephant Nature Park in Thailand for exposing the appalling cruelty endured by Asian elephants. She bears witness to the way these intelligent, gentle animals are mistreated by their owners and handlers. The tourist, trekking and logging industries are to blame for this injustice.

The Tragedy Of Elephant Slavery

The Tragedy Of Elephant Slavery

Lives Denied

The Tragedy Of Elephant Slavery – the desire to be free is a primal instinct in every living being. Why will people die to be liberated? Because freedom is in the DNA of the human heart and soul. So why do we – our supposed evolved species – think that it is acceptable to deny this right to the animals of the planet. We do so in our ignorance and arrogance. Humanity has strayed so far from the innate beauty and dignity of the natural world that we are corrupt strangers on the journey of our planet.
