Luvin’ on Dudley … (05/27/17)
This picture (taken a few years back) is of me and Dudley, a remarkably gentle rescued cow who until just yesterday lived at the remarkably wonderful Gentle Barn near Knoxville, Tennessee (Dudley died June 20th from a ruptured ulcer) … I remember how odd it was for me to sit next to this gentle giant and realize that I used to eat the flesh of dead cows; that I used to drink from their udders; in essence that I used to pay my hard-earned money so that they would suffer and die and that my own health would falter.
Well, to that I say Never Again!!!
It was truly an honor to hang out with Dudley, all his animal friends, and his human Care-givers at that amazing animal sanctuary, and I am so incredibly thankful that I will not now — nor will I ever again — do anything purposefully to cause harm or discomfort to any other sentient being.
This is my solemn vow — a vow that is going to be exceptionally easy to keep.
