Gassing Sentient Beings in 2011?!?
North Carolina is the land of my roots and as of late steeped in religious activities and displays of fervent reverence. How then to explain the manufacturing and distribution of gas chambers…set up in 24 locations I believe… with profits going to a veterinarian/state official? Ghoulish conflict of interest! The videos displayed all over Facebook…

We must speak up … individually.
In response to yesterday’s post, I received the following from Davidson County (North Carolina) commissioner Fred McClure – my reply follows: “Thanks for writing. However, the videos you see on Facebook are not accurate for our county. There is no terror, no pain and animals are put down one at a time. This has been…

Part III: May Need to Revisit the Carolinas After All (2011)
Davidson County (North Carolina) commissioner Fred McClure sent another message yesterday – my reply follows: “Thank you, and we are moving more toward the injection. It is a poor testimony for the citizens of our county that we have 7,000 animals at the shelter in the first place. Irresponsible pet ownership is the real problem…

Experimentation & Research on Sentient Beings (2011)
[Feel free to re-use this letter template and send to the email addresses at the end…] Dear Governor Perdue (NC), I am contacting you to voice my concern regarding the conditions the animals are kept in and subjected to in many of the Animal Control facilities in the State of North Carolina. It has come…

Seemingly Uncivilized…and Perhaps for Profit (Follow-up with NC Governor Bev Perdue) (2011)
Please realize that so very, very many of us are alarmed regarding 24 gassing locations in the Tarheel state, possible conflict of interest if a public official-veterinarian manufactures those contraptions and also runs seminars at Gaston demonstrating with live homeless animals, and selling of Whiteville homeless beings for experimentation and fertilizer products or for rendering…

animals are we all…
animals are we all…why politicians choose to ignore that fact must be as Paul Harvey once stated that the other species never vote. time to realize, elected officials, that the numbers of animal advocates grow exponentially by the moment, and it may be to your advantage to pay attention to all living beings. probably the…

god is present in these beautiful faces…
god is present in these beautiful faces, that we ignore the haunting and pleading expressions on, as we allow other humans to slay these living beings. when we kill, we kill god…we destroy nature…we make ourselves vindictive gods with no concern for the beauty we put an end to…dead is dead. “RIP” is an escape…

beyond all sense of reason…
oh, dear…archery prowess encouraged in “youngsters” and thus the youth were prepared for the opening of deer killing season today? (deer flushed out onto roads and highways as a result.) how sad for all involved. safety seminars conducted so that “everyone” involved will not be harmed? huh? turkeys, flying fowl also scheduled for official killing…

What can you do…to help stop this animal epidemic?
keep spreading the word and hoping against hope that folks get their minds and hearts onto this epidemic which can be corrected…people created it and people must solve it…thanks for caring… okay. so an iPAD sports a highly touted 10 hour battery and thus receives great praise and sells well for around 500 bucks? cows…

I AM A TRUTH SEEKER AND A PUBLICIST FOR TRUTH…WHAT A GREAT CALLING, RIGHT?
From my pal Eddie Mah: We don’t need to eat Protein !!Yes, you heard right. We need Amino Acids so our bodies can turn into useful Protein. Animal products do not supply our bodies with the right amino acids which we can use. When we eat flesh, our body has to break down the improper…

Animals R Us…
ah, so! the absolutely foolish stubborn nature of those who politicize these dangers, which are actually shouting to us every day to please face facts concerning our jeopardized environment, is shameful. tis either apathy or downright denial…both of which doom us. horrid. it is obvious to the naked eye of any who revere the animal…

deer…the most dangerous animal alive?!?!
hateful, duplicitous, double-talking, snake-oil salesman letter in our little local paper today urging year-round deer hunting cuz “deers are the most dangerous animals alive” from a doc who says why pay the price of even one human life of a driver in a car getting killed…cuz his own cars get dented? we have had bizarre…

Symbolizing the chasm…some win big while others lose tragically (2011)
Greenville, South Carolina, is one of the cities which signifies something significant in my life…and I am disheartened that despite its recent spike in achieving opulence, the record number of discarded animals/pets is startling. One wonders why, with the amazing dumping of living beings into the Greenville shelter, that a choice must be made between…

there is profit in so-called animal “over-population”…
there is profit in so-called animal “over-population”…cadavers rendered into fertilizers and pet food incredibly (and gassing machines mass-produced and sold in many states)…not to mention live homeless animals sold for research and experimentation. same with hunters claiming they are all doing us a favor? they love squealing “over-population” so they can play “deliverance” games and…

Where might all of this competition for residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue be leading? 2012
WOW, it seems the presidential candidates better demonstrate that each one of them appreciates animals and treats them allllll nicely. Newt is keenly interested in animal welfare ever since Mitt’s bad press surfaced for carting his dog on top of his woody station wagon 20 years ago. Barack is newly interested in legislation outlawing puppy…

Urge Emerald Isle, North Carolina, to Halt Deer Massacre (2012)
Here is what I submitted in response to this link. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE REVERED LAND OF MY ROOTS? Gassing and ONLY gassing domesticated animals in shelters?

i cry every day…empathy is the only word i believe captures what seems to be missing
Following is a series of excerpts from a Facebook conversation I had last night with a wonderful friend and animal rights activist Trish Chambers: ___________________________ i cry every day…those who brag about never crying or wonder about crying? make me really wonder about their ability to feel and empathize…how sad NOT to cry.

…i am appalled that the more i learn the more i am aware of all the money to be made from an overpopulation of cats, dogs, deer, etc. actually being encouraged…bodies for cash move down more avenues than can be imagined. and those who are profiting speak out of both sides of their lying mouths.…

i shall never ever change my mind…and i feel sorrow for those who refuse to look truth in the face, literally.
need to regroup thoughts to figure out how to reach folks, more and more each day, who can learn to help save lives and realize the beautiful significance of doing so. ULCER ATTACK…again! but stopping the consuming of animals for breakfast, lunch and dinner does help — highly recommend. our entire family now vegan! i…

speak softly or shout loudly…
help to make this a kinder world by speaking up even when speaking up seems to irritate folks occasionally…refuse to accept that deer are “harvested” and beef is “grown” and that any one of us or even one animal are/is expendable… wise up and remember to love, to care, to nurture. sad to say that…

probably we need some “jerk whisperers”…as animals are more difficult to advocate for than can possibly be imagined
so tired of all the thuggery in our country. this is the 21st century and not the dark ages…and no longer a primitive world. disgusted with bullying and weaponry and sheer stupidity. time for punishment of those who seem to enjoy killing and have forgotten how to think and to reason and to empathize. …i…

their magic intimidates the clueless!
cats are too special to be explained or compromised for popular consumption. their magic intimidates the clueless! ;D thanks for that! ♥ =^..^= their sophisticated presence causes those — who pride themselves upon insensitivity — to squirm. felines are other-worldly yet grounded in the importance and possibilities of happy reality. they introduced me to my…

To whom it may concern… 2012
How and why and under what circumstances has the slaughter of sentient beings to save plants and trees become acceptable to civilized human beings? Rationalizations for this mass killing boggle the thinking mind.

empathy/apathy = ?
empathy = caring and relating and becoming actively involved in saving lives and ending suffering. apathy = not giving a damn about anybody but one’s self. empathy is so rewarding. apathy leads nowhere except possibly world-wide disaster.

Status time…no more killing, no more bullying, no more selfishness
status time–just now read a post stating that record numbers of innocent dogs and cats are murdered (yes killing is killing — a catch-all/short-hand term) in shelters every day now. so, if they are dumped due to the economy –and not out of pure apathy and selfishness… well, for starters, do not be intimidated by…

Put others first…all the way from bustling ants to elephants and all the sentient beings in between
amazing how we can do more than we ever dreamed possible…push our bodies, minds, hearts, resources to the limit and beyond. how? put others first…all the way from bustling ants to elephants and all the sentient beings in between. caring and helping to educate and to save lives whether directly or indirectly cannot be topped…

of all the -isms….
what is interesting is that a professor whose lectures appear on facebook said that of all the ‘-isms’, species-ism is the hottest issue…that the volatility associated with this topic is nearly insurmountable. this is 2012, however, and if we begin to live harmoniously and not desperately, the sensible status of no more brutality and barbarism…

Compassion does contain the word passion…
it is a war between good and evil…and apathy…empathy must rule the day. we must never roll over and play dead in the face of cruelty. we must reach those people who have open, caring hearts and urge them to speak up often and emphatically… we can CHANGE those who perpetrate bruitish behavior toward the…

Mr. Stutzman… (2012)
Mr. Stutzman: Extremely disappointed that the votes of a large and burgeoning portion of your constituency do not matter to you.

Received a…

when human nature gets in the way of animal/nature
every once in a while, in a facebook animal welfare/rights/rescue group, you come across someone more worried about their respective group’s “rules” than the big picture. these officious animal folks always make me put my tail between my legs, and i whimper and i go away forever. i was probably, in another life, one of…
