We rescue dogs & cats when we adopt them from street corners and shelters … And then they rescue us when they inspire us to treat ALL LIFE with just as much respect; when they inspire US to finally become the Kind & Caring people they already know we truly are …

“I am not alone in valuing my life; in being aware of the world around me; in having family and friends that I treasure. And just as no one has the right to treat me as property and take those things from me, I have no right to commit the same atrocities on others … Veganism is a matter of justice, and of fairness, and of doing right by others. And it is not important whether those others have skin, fur, feathers or scales. We have no need to cause others harm, and we can live and thrive while doing our best not to do so … So let us each keep in our mind’s eye the untold billions of gentle victims with their beseeching gazes locked upon us — those in animal shelters, yes, and yet also those in slaughterhouses and fur farms and puppy mills — all of them begging us to do what’s right and moral and true — begging us to go vegan and advocate for the same … Nonveganism supports animal cruelty and nonveganism unnecessary … Be vegan … Thank you.” ~ inspired by There’s an Elephant in the Room
