Hello

I am looking for people who would like to organise demonstrations on if possible monthly basis in Belgium where I could help and everywhere else also.

They are doing it in France  in 9 cities in Zwitzerland and Italy but we are looking to spread this event all over the world.

They ask the end of all kind of animal uses, all animal exploitation

The idea behind is clearly explained on …

An article that appeared (01/05/2012) in today.msnbc.msn.com said:

"A lawsuit filed in against a New York pet store aims to change the way a pet is legally viwed..."etc.

Though the issue relates to "pet" I think it is still very interesting "to prove the existence of soul" (or spirit) for all animals,  which will only make any sense for those of us, humans that believe in souls and spiritual content in humanas...

In a previous blog post, I suggested that the history of animal exploitation was like a centuries-old ‘trail of tears’ in that, just as the Indian Removal Act of 1830 forcibly separated Native Americans from their homelands, so the treating of animals as mere commodities separated them from their natural lives and habitats. In the case of the Cherokee and other tribes, white Americans sought to acquire their land and the tribes were simply “in the way.” In the case…

During August of 2010, the Animal Planet channel repeatedly televised a documentary entitled “The Last Cowboy,” which narrates the lifestyle, work habits, struggles, and rewards of three Wyoming cattle ranches—those owned by the Stuckey, Hughes, and Galt families respectively. 

Every year at the end of “calving” season, family members must assist in branding each new animal in the herd, which may include as many as 400 “head.” This entails roping, dragging, innoculating, and…

Meat, sadly, is a universal ‘food’, though the particular animals eaten vary from country to country. I purpose that, to support the eating of ANY animal is to globally support the eating of EVERY animal. Americans eat cows, Koreans eat dogs and the Japanese eat whales and none of it is necessary, healthy or humane.
