“Humans’ convenience, of course! Individuals of the species are snatched from their homes/family/habitat/held in captivity/forced to mate at great physical/ spiritual pain.”

It seems increasingly dogs are attacking humans in response to their slavery.

They are innocent/they are not the ones who raped the earth/they enrich it for us all from the tiniest microscopic beings to the largest ones.

Extinction’ issue. Save the species for whom???

Humans suffer the raping of the earth but animals suffer DOUBLY: the raping of the earth PLUS their own raping by humans.

Some, while deploring animal abuses, on the same breath approve ‘benefits to humans from certain animal abuses’!

As long as buyers, users, attendees at animal performances, etc., keep using, abusers keep abusing!!!

When the right numbers are reached, their holocaust starts all over again!

I hear it’s better to use animal products than synthetics, which are harmful to humans and the earth.

THINK TWICE before using hot ‘merchandise’!!!

AND, wildlife in captivity are also attacking their enslavers AND the public…

This convenient ambiguity at the expense of animals is unacceptable!!!

All animals go through interminable hard labor to produce what humans shamelessly rob from them at great physical/mental pain to them and to their young.

the LAW OF DECENCY!!! Stay within this Law, steer clear of wool/pearl/silk/ fish bone/ fur/ivory/coral/ down/beeswax/honey/ cashmere/ lanolin/ feathers/ camel hair/flesh/milk/ eggs/ fish/ seafood/ other!!!

Humans call animals ‘dumb’… after they robbed their entire own precious world.

Please also remember the pitiful gasping/thirsty little mouths/ beaks in summer.

Ruthless ‘brave’ men armed to the teeth/ with snares, tranquilizing guns, other.

You have not emerged from any “other” and there is no place else for “you” to disappear into. Ever.

Discipline, strictly speaking, is activity carried on to prepare us indirectly for some activity other than itself. We do not practice the piano to practice the piano well, but to play it well.

There is indeed a God that hears and sees whate’er we do.

For I know that many good things have happened to many, when least expected; and that many hopes have been disappointed.

My God grant me love for that which has splendor, but in this time of my life let me strive for attainable things.

You little know what a ticklish thing it is to go to law.

You know, you really can’t beat a household commodity

For thee the wonder-working earth puts forth sweet flowers.
