Factory Farming Evil – Part 1

Factory Farming Evil – Part 1

Factory Farming Evil – Part 1 – I don’t know the author of this particular piece (I wish I did). I have seen it on social media more than once and I thank whoever wrote it for the courage to put this savage suffering into words. This is a story that needs to be told – read – shared and re-shared. This is an example of the price that animals pay for our selfish ignorance. I like to think of this beautiful cow as “Hope” – may she never be forgotten!

Why Are Canada’s Animal Laws From 1892 – Part 1

Why Are Canada’s Animal Laws From 1892 – Part 1

Why Are Canada’s Animal Laws From 1892 – Part 1 – Is Canada not part of the G7? Are we not a democracy? Why are the wishes of concerned, tax paying Canadian citizens routinely ignored by arrogant political parties? Why is there no political will to protect the most vulnerable in our society – the voiceless? Why are animals “property” – like a chair that you might own? You can decide to destroy it – give it away – neglect it or leave it outside in the snow.

World Animal Day – October 4, 2014

World Animal Day – October 4, 2014 – Human beings have far more in common than not – but we tend to forget that in our constant striving for supremacy – we are right and you are wrong – greed – the pursuit of money and recognition – the need to dominate – corruption – the destruction of our environment by irresponsible corporations and absurd political posturing.

The Vanishing Faces of African Wildlife – Photographer Fred von Winckelmann and poet Andrew Mercer combine their significant talents to make us think about The Vanishing Faces Of African Wildlife – and the pressing need to preserve their safety and their habitat.

The Travel Industry And Responsible Tourism

The Travel Industry And Responsible Tourism

The Travel Industry And Responsible Tourism – Chris Mercer of CACH discusses tourism and how you can make a difference. I know it’s tempting to pet a cub – or walk with a lion. But when you do – you are supporting a lion farmer who will allow that cub to be hunted and “slaughtered by bullet or bow” as soon as it is old enough. This – to satisfy the blood lust of a trophy killer. Travellers often make mistakes because they don’t understand the reality of irresponsible tourism. Thank you Chris Mercer for all that you are doing to help save South Africa’s remaining wild lions!
