The MOVE is ON … (08/15/15)
For the past several hundred years, we humans have been steadily waking up; steadily allowing the wise & caring stewards of life that we were born to be slowly yet surely come into being … We did so in the anti-slavery movement that blossomed in the late 1800’s, we did so in the women’s rights movement that blossomed in the early 1900’s, we did so in the civil rights movement that blossomed in the 1960’s, we did so in the gay rights movement that blossomed in the 1990’s, and we are doing so in the animal rights movement that is blossoming even as we speak.
Groups like Direct Action Everywhere are growing rapidly; exponentially increasing their membership and exponentially increasing both the volume & the fervor with which they champion the rights of the downtrodden & the tortured & the abused. This latest wave of cruelty-protestors & compassion-activists is the greatest & the most important social justice movement that our world has ever seen … It is gaining strength every day — and it is critically important that it do so. For unless the way we treat animals radically shifts from callousness to compassion, from death to dignity, egregiousness to equality — then our own species will perish as well.
My Friends, for the sake of the animals screaming for mercy & moaning for reprieve, for the sake of the health of all those you love and all those you cherish, and indeed for the sake of the survival of life on Earth as we know it — this movement simply MUST succeed … and it must succeed soon.
And succeed IT CAN … Won’t you please join us in making it so?
