A friend of animals is a friend of mine. To find others who tear up at the visuals based on our knowledge of what goes on...right now as we sit here a beautifully innocent animal is suffering. To find others who share this turmoil in their hearts is a blessing to me. We have to find each other. We have to join as one toward the simple cause of getting others to understand the REALITY of what man still does to animals today in the interest of PROFIT.

My sweet precious mate found a tiny mouse in his juice bottle he left in the shed the night before. The little mouse had to stand on back tippy toes to not drown, the side was too slik for it to climb. I ask Bill what he did and my heart melted with love when he said, " The poor thing tried so hard to stay alive so he let it go." Now how many tough men would do the same? not many i would say, most would of killed it without a second thought.

My son had a couple of teeny hamsters while growing up. He learned to be so gentle with them. They were always fascinating. I remember when he was 13 and his hamster had died. Luke and his best friend asked me to join them in the 21 BB gun salute at the burial. I'll never forget it. They ran out of bbs after 13. He will kill me if he reads this on here! LOL He is married and in the USAF. His heart is so tender that doesn't even fish with live bait! ;0) I was a good mom! and I have great kids.

Real men are kind to animals ♥

Michelle Staples Bertram Russell: A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite.
L. DaVinci: The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.

Put it on a t-shirt and wear it everywhere. Killing animals for food is not sustainable or moral.
