The hope for the animals of tomorrow is to be found in the human culture which learns to feel beyond itself, we must learn empathy, we must look into the eyes of an animal and feel that their life has value because they are alive ~ Earthlings.

The expansion of the palm oil industry is wiping out the last wild orangutans in the world. Palm oil is essentially used as cooking oil and will soon run our cars as bio-diesel. As Borneo Orangutan Survival UK try to save the victims, you can help by not consuming palm oil.

Millions of cats & dogs in China are being bludgeoned, hanged, skinned alive, bled to death & strangled with wire nooses so their fur can be used for trim/trinkets. Many are wearing collars - they were once beloved pets, some of these animals are stolen from peoples homes & gardens, others are lost strays picked up off the streets. Defenceless animals gasp their last breaths for more than 10 minutes after being skinned, they're still alive & in overwhelming shock, able to move enough to inspect their hideous state-they're dying in unimaginable pain. UNACCEPTABLE - THIS HEINOUS ACT OF INFLICTING SUCH UNNECESSARY SUFFERING MUST STOP - THE ANIMALS ARE TREATED WITH UTTER CONTEMPT YET THEY'RE THE VERY THING THAT IS ENABLING THESE CALLOUS BUTCHERS TO MAKE A LIVING.

Conditions on Chinese fur farms make a mockery of the most elementary animal welfare standards. In their lives and their unspeakable deaths, these animals have been denied even the most simple acts of kindness. Millions of individuals are forced to endure the most profound indifference to their suffering and most basic needs – in the name of fashion. China’s colossal fur industry routinely subjects animals to housing, husbandry, transport and slaughter practices that are unacceptable from a veterinary, animal welfare and moral point of view - PLEASE HELP TO STOP THE BARBARIC SLAUGHTER.

If you worry that you have not made a difference - you have, for only those who do not worry about it have not. If you feel overwhelmed, if the weight of problems is too heavy to bear, remember it is a shared burden and the strength of numbers can accomplish much. If you think society and government are blind, it only serves to remind that we need to change one mind at a time, one law after another - we effect change by cooperation, not by isolation. If you consider that we cannot save them all and what difference does one make, you ought to know the joy of the one who is saved.

Mourn those we cannot save, it is a eulogy to their being, do not let their loss be in vain. Be kind to yourself remember your needs, those of your family and friends of every species. If you give everything, what will you have left for yourself or for them ? Strive to be happy and healthy, you are needed, achieving balance in life is a lifelong struggle. We who help those who do not have all that they need, should be among the most grateful for what we have.

Be proud of your accomplishments, not your opinions, the quality of your efforts is more important than the quantity. Forgive your own deficiencies - sometimes your caring is sufficient, everyone can do something, it is up to you to do the thing you can. A kind word and a gentle touch can change a life, if anger wells up within you because people are the problem, remember your humanity and that people are also the solution. Concentrate on specific needs, pay attention to the individual - they make up the whole.

See beyond the unlovable, the unattractive, the impure and the wounded, see that their spirit is as deserving as the rest, help them heal - their eyes are windows to their soul and the mirror of your sincerity. All species, all beings, share this Earth in a chain of life, care more about what makes us alike than what separates us. Policies, rules and regulations are not infallible, apply them judiciously, interpret them wisely, no decision based purely on money is ever the right one.

Listen to your heart, sometimes we have to do that which we are most afraid of, be true to yourself and your beliefs. Family may abandon you, friends may disappoint you, strangers will ridicule you, people shun what they do not understand, help them to understand - kindly, softly and gently. Those who do not respect all life are to be pitied, often the wrongdoer is as in need of help as his victims, forgive and teach by example. Educate yourself or you cannot hope to teach others, no action based in hatred is ever right and anger drowns out wisdom.

Yours may be a voice crying in the wilderness, make it a voice to be respected. Listen more than you talk, be courteous and reliable, learn to ask for help, never waiver from the truth. Know that it takes a lot of strength to cry and with every defeat we learn, all creation celebrates that which is in its own best interest. The children are our hope - nurture them, nature is our legacy - protect it, the animals are our brethren - learn from them.

Your rewards will not be material, but they will be meaningful and the courage of your convictions can survive anything. We are small boats cast adrift on a cruel sea but someday the tide will turn toward a safe harbour. No matter how dark the storm clouds or deep the pain of heartbreak - never forget - we are their heroes.

Jim Willis.
