My Public Apology
Sep 3, 2006

Dear Care2 Members,

Since most of the people I know are here, I like to take this opportunity to make a public apology to all the people that I have hurt in the past during my time here in Care2.


It has been my main objective to advocate the protection of all animals since the very day I became a Care2 member. However, it seems, at times, I have let my emotions of anger on humans, driven by compassion towards animals to get the better of me. And because of that, I have said things or done things via my actions and postings in many groups that may have hurt or have angered certain people or individuals. Please accept my sincere apologies to everything that was done before. I promise that from now on, I will make improvements and conduct everything including my actions and postings with the utmost respect.


I am thankful that through the humane education program provided by the Humane Society of the United States and other well intentioned individuals or groups, I have come to realize the importants on the way or method of approach to be taken if it's going to be taken seriously by others. Each individual is unique deserving our respect while sharing information with a mutual understanding for each others emotions, believes, opinions and / or suggestions.


I have aslo opened a group called, "Humane Living" and I am cordially inviting everyone to visit or better still, join us in friendship:


Humane Living is about bringing into thought in the many ways that we can make the most humane of choices in our daily lives whenever possible to the best of our ability. Humane Living does not limit veganism as the only way. We also like to welcome other ideas of humane living such as raw veganism, fruitarianism, vegetarianism or simple choices that has no ideologies at all. I believe, we should always be open to welcome all opinions and suggestions that can contribute to our goals and end results to help us live a Humane Lifestlye.

And to those who wish to continue eating animal products, I appreciate it that you have realized that not all animal products are equal when it comes to animal welfare. Each industry has its own abusive practices, and some are much more cruel than others. For example, the chicken, egg, turkey, and pork industries tend to be far more abusive to animals than the beef industry. And a growing number of producers are raising animals without intensive confinement. Refining your diet by choosing cage-free animal products, instead of the conventional factory farm products that fill most supermarket shelves, will help to diminish animal suffering. Thank you for making that choice. You have also considered humane eating and should be commended for the achievement that you are doing to the best of your current ability. Better something than nothing right?

 

Every hour in the United States alone, one million animals are killed for human consumption. Thus, for those who have decided to at least cut back on your animal consumption by only 10%, approximately one billion animals would be spared a lifetime of suffering each year. And from the bottom of my heart, I wish to thank you for taking that important step.

    



the energy in humane = empathy

Nick, our our most valueable friend,
I have and had all admiration of your contribution to Care2 as a determined animal rights champion.
I am sure that all your friends friends of friends--- and members of care2 have such a respect and love for you.This is my humble opinion.I know there are such people so enthu about your approach to the animal rights and humane living. This is an excellent way of presenting a tough issue.In my earlier comment I have expressed this clearly.
I do not have much time for Care2 yet I steal --rob time off my precious sleep time for Nick and the Care2.
I remember either you or some other Good Samaritan
has put forth a suggestion of meatless day a week. Thats great.
Can I suggest something as an an preface-- a not as an appendix? It is WEEK ENDs As HUMANE DAYs!.
Can I start a Group with this Motto and Objective and Group title??
I congratulate you for your humbleness ( I'm sure you are highly educated person) in apologizing for a thing or two to all the Care2 members.
Blessed are they that are Meek-- for theirs is Kingdom of Heaven.
Before that time they have a special niche in all our hearts. Nick, you are an asset for the Care2.!!
