In My Life
I'm determined to change minds and bring much needed change to the world. I try and do as much as a can to help animals and the environment. Although it sometimes seems daunting, all that needs to be done, if we just try and do a little at a time it will add up eventually.

About Me "My doctrine is this: that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt."
-Anna Sewell

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the next of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."

Henry Beston from The Outermost House
