This is heartbreaking. And I have a big bad ass agenda where the logging industry is in general. At the conclusion of the video, I tried to post my name and e-mail to add support, and it would not allow it. I actually had to 'force quit' to shut my computer down! It could be my service provider (Charter, out here in the sticks)n, but suffice it to say, I am pissed off, and will look at other ways to express my anger and dismay!
Oh, I got a series of chills when the first images of the tribe appeared on my screen. Yes, they should be left in peace. We would not like to see happen to them what so often happens to those that live peacefully in an area that suddenly becomes a valuable resource that can be exploited for profit.
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.
