My Philosophy
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong -- because someday you will
have been all of these."
~ George Washington Carver ~
"Some ask, with all the problems we face, what matters the fate of dogs? But to me, the question is, what kind of society do we become if our children lose their humanity?"
~ Sergeant Steve Brownstein ~
"Most people have come to prefer certain of life's experiences and deny and reject others, unaware of the value of the hidden things that may come wrapped in plain and even ugly paper. In avoiding all pain and seeking comfort at all costs, we may be left without intimacy or compassion; in rejecting change and risk we often cheat ourselves of the quest; in denying our suffering we may never know our strength or our greatness."
~ Rachel Naomi Remen ~
"One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, 'What are you doing?' The youth replied, 'Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die.' 'Son,' the man said, 'don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't make a difference!' After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said...'I made a difference for that one.'."
~ Loren Eiseley 1978 "Star Thrower" ~
What Gives Me Hope
Seeing positive action from the members of Care2 and myspace - it's contagious
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
I'd start first with educating the uneducated...and work from there.
What/who changed my life and why
Don't laugh, but when I was little, about 3rd grade, I watched Homeward Bound and cried my eyes out. I haven't been the same since in the way I feel about animals, in a positive way. :)

"This is a tribute video to pit bulls to show that they are just animals who undergo cruel abuse and neglect and are now being persectued for a very human crime. Instead of banning this wonderful breed, we should consider putting away the people who are cruel enough to this to them in the first place. Remember when someone can abuse an animal they are more than capable of harming a person. Song is "Savin Me" by Nickelback." -sheltergirl131 www.youtube.com
Following videos from EWWIES on youtube.com
"I will continue to spread the truth about this wonderful breed. Please do the same. Ignorance is a shame.
Song: Avril Lavigne - Keep Holding On"
STOP BREED SPECIFIC LEGISLATION!
"The Great American Pit Bull Terrier. Such a fantastic breed. I just hope one day our world will realize that it's PEOPLE that are the ones who are in the wrong..not innocent animals.
Song: "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor **Explicit Lyrics!**
p.s. Not all of these dogs are APBT, some are mixed breeds, as well as some Amstaffs and Staffys... but every breed you see in the video will, however, be affected by BSL."
