It has been said that in years to come, we will look back on the times we are now living in as barbaric, as times without awareness, times without access to Truth, Love, Freedom. Time where humans lived without respect to Life.

Most of us here reading this sit warm and comfortable in homes with electricity and running water.

We have some food available to eat, we have churches, libraries and support systems nearby.

At the same moment in time, billions of people live desperately in survival modes. 

They do not have access of continuous clean water nor electricity, many do not have homes, nor any place they consider themselves to feel safe; many are on the brink of starvation and death. 

Their lives are at the whim and mercy of the elements and players that interfere and make changes in the environment beyond any control.

The beings on Earth live at the mercy of selfishness and greed gone rampant and normalized. Corporations and monopolies have taken over every industry. And there is one industry which has taken the lead in harnessing pure destructive force against the Earth, animals and all Beings: The Animal Agriculture Industry. 

Human reliance on meat, dairy and all animal products has created the following threats against Life:

• Deforestation
• Disruptions of river & stream systems
• Water pollution 
• Air pollution
• Fishery depletion
• Species Extinctions
• Depletion and destruction of soil
• Over consumption of water
• Carbon emissions & climate changes
• Dead ocean zones
• World hunger
• Human obesity, illness, diabetes
• Societal and psychological effects

 "National Geographic–along with countless other sources–cite that, “The biggest driver of deforestation is agriculture. Farmers cut forests to provide more room for planting crops or grazing livestock.” Plant-based agriculture used to feed animals bred for food drives up the amount of resources consumed by crops – “intensive livestock production requires large quantities of harvested feed. The growing of cereals for feed in turn requires substantial areas of land” – while grazing animals such as cattle place additional stress on the state of Earth’s forests, especially the Amazon Rainforests."

Large scale growth of food to feed to animals, for humans to then eat: this is destroying eco-systems across the planet. 

Every time you purchase a product from a company that supports the animal industry, you too are supporting this and contributing your money, your energy, your power, into that destruction.

Why do we make this choice?

Why do people feel that they NEED to eat animals, dairy and eggs? 

Do we really believe that our need for those things is more important than the sustainability of the environments that we each call Home? 

I pray for every human to become educated on what is really happening on this planet, 

so that every person may have their own chance to choose if they will be a part of the destruction?

OR a part of a solution!?

The animals cry out to us, beyond sound, beyond touch or sight.

There is a resounding symphony of pain, betrayal, loss, fear, heartbreak, abandon and complete disregard...

If you are reading this then the Animals have a message for you!

Humble Yourself.

Please reach out and connect to any Animal Spirit that resonates a recognition for you, 

Ground into the Imagination...
What would it be like to be a deer? a crow? a rabbit in the field?
A bear?
A Lion?

the Animals Love us and each has a unique qift to share with us, if we open ourselves to Listen.

If you don't know what animal to reach for, ask the Universe to show you, and open yourself up to receive the mystery.

If you see an animal in pain, suffering, in abuse, lonely, angry, confused or lost

Please offer your Love and Healing light to the animal, and allow your Heart be a bridge of connection
So that we each individually can heal the pain we have caused the Animal Kingdoms

And bow our heads to our dear Friends and allow them to teach us their ways

May we All remember Ourselves and each other 

May compassion and True Love carry us hOme together
