Never allow your wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of others and live simply so others may simply live
My Pledge to the Readers of this Blog
The progress of social justice is slow and measured. Its growth depends on an increasing number of us becoming aware of the truth and consequences of our actions.
I believe that it is morally wrong to allow our wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of other sentient beings.
I believe the physical and psychological abuse – confinement, social deprivation, mutilation, genetic and reproductive manipulation, and profit exploitation – imposed by us on other animals is morally wrong.
I believe the suggestion that the exploitation of other sentient beings by humans can be achieved without cruelty, violence, or injustice is false and misleading.
As an advocate for all life, committed to compassion and justice, I refuse to take part in the exploitation of other sentient beings or to collaborate with those caught up in such injustice.
I pledge to do my best to live a life that conveys a clear, sincere and uncompromised message that is free of resentment, fear, exploitation, anger, cynicism, and manipulation.
Furthermore, I pledge to continue to support a broad range of nonviolent initiatives and programs that will hopefully one day eliminate the needless pain and suffering we inflict upon all the many wonderful creatures with whom we share this planet.

So where are your wonderful photos on this site...? I very much appreciate your activism, and I am totally on board...but so far, for me at least, I find an audience that wants some art and entertainment, amidst the commentary. I would love to see some personal photos interspersed with the harder messages...the soft stuff gives the hard stuff meaning. I know you must have a huge file of sweet faces to mix into this hard barrage of information. dan
