I have worked for 44 years to save animals from the brutality of humans. It has been a long struggle full of love & compassion.

I am a quiet recluse, my life is fulfilled through the books I write, but my voice & words will always be used to help all our precious animal friends.

When we touch a life, we become part of that life, which is why it's important to be with animals. Being part of their lives, even if it's not close up, means we have greater empathy for them. Love and empathy mean understanding. And if we understand animals, we rarely harm them.

Yes I agree with you completely Kirkwood. Thank you. Keep up the good fight.

A chunk of meat is nothing more than a rotting body part, and eating it is interfering with a corpse.

If we were all vegan, this suffering would stop

A beautiful symbiosis between two loving beings.

We don't have to be the same species to share love, friendship and understanding. We just have to open our hearts.

This is one of the reasons I’m vegan 🀍

I couldn't agree more, and there are some humans from whom one could never recover.

Mine too, and I still use it.

A vegan world is a world filled with peace and love.
There are no dark places or grim spaces.
There is only light.

I'm totally in support of this labelling. It's the beginning of installing glass walls on abattoirs.

Beautiful words come from pure minds, and the purest element any human can achieve is the realisation that life - all life - is precious and must be protected, cherished and preserved.
ALL life!

Meat displays in supermarkets are designed to mask the horrors of the animal gas chambers and killing floors.

Humans have managed to develop ways to poison our planet and every species living here. Pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, baits, climate change, agri-chemicals; nothing seems too much. If we stopped poisoning our world it would become a beautiful place for all.

Which only goes to prove, yet again, that all knuckle-dragging bullies are abject cowards.

That's a beautiful story Linda. I wish everyone would be so thoughtful and caring. Thank you for sharing.

Please look out for wildlife. They are so precious, while taking two seconds to brake costs nothing.
