The world can be a prickly place, so here is some encouragement. We can and DO make a difference!
“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’
Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’
Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’
But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ “And there comes a point when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Starfish Story
(author unknown)
Once a man was walking along a beach. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Off in the distance he could see a person going back and forth between the surf's edge and and the beach. Back and forth this person went. As the man approached he could see that there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural action of the tide. The man was stuck by the the apparent futility of the task. There were far too many starfish. Many of them were sure to perish. As he approached the person continued the task of picking up starfish one by one and throwing them into the surf. As he came up to the person he said, "You must be crazy. There are thousands of miles of beach covered with starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The person looked at the man. He then stooped down and pick up one more starfish and threw it back into the ocean. He turned back to the man and said, "It sure made a difference to that one!"

Wow! I can't believe I actually found a group that is dedicated to Veganism and Pro-life! I thought I was the only person on this planet that thought like that! (maybe except a really good friend...)
Go people!

| Help a Pro-Life Film-Maker - Vote for His Film! |
[07 Dec 2007|03:41pm] |
Hi everyone, I’d really like all pro-lifers here to support a pro-life documentary maker who is also a good friend of mine, John Hetherington. He’s been working on a documentary that I think could easily become the Inconvenient Truth of abortion. He’s already interviewed prominent pro-life and pro-choice figures – including Canadian figures Joyce Arthur and Dr Henry Morgentaler. This film could be BIG.
John is currently entered in a short film competition which if he wins would give him an internship in England with Academy Award Winner David Parfitt and the Trademark Films Production Team…. Imagine how that could boost his odds of having his documentary recognized on a wide scale – and getting our message out there!
So here’s what I need ALL of you to do: Go to http://shortfilm.projectbreakout.com and register so that you can vote. Then find ‘A Word on the Street’ by John Hetherington and vote for it. (http://shortfilm.projectbreakout.com/media_page/entry_id/45)
You can vote for it 15 times per day – EVERY DAY!
John is currently hanging around 5th and 6th place but in order to pull into the top three (top 3 per week move into the finals), he has to have at least 50 to 60 people who vote 15 times every day. Please be one of them and pass this on to ALL your pro-life contacts and pro-life friends. Let’s make this happen and help our pro-life brother give voice to the voiceless!

| Animal Abuse in Ukraine |
[02 Nov 2007|07:01pm] |
www.MatesMaster.com friends and romance network, the site which is constantly involved in Animal Welfare programs, joins forces with Kiev City Society for the Protection of Animals in protest to the inhumane treatment of animals, abuse and cruelty in Ukraine.
About 156,000 stray cats and dogs are annually hurt, abused and killed in Ukrainian citiesand towns. When caught by the dog catchers, some stray animals are used forpainful experiments.
Stray dogs are often bludgeoned or put to death by electricity or caught using an inhumane poison and sometimes die slow, painful deaths. Instead of putting an animal to sleep with the use of euthanasia (i.e. the act of killing an animal painlessly), the animal service uses dithylinum (suxamethonium chloride), a poison which paralyzes the animal and causes it to die of suffocation in a few hours of agony. There is ample evidence that the poor creatures are still conscious and feel all the pain before they die. It is often the case that animals are beaten with legs and metal sticks, whereupon they are buried or burned alive.
Lots of people witnessed animals being tortured and murdered - little kittens tied up in plastic bags and thrown in the river, people intentionally run stray pets over with their cars, newly born puppies dumped on vacant land without their mother and left them to die.
Stories are endless and make hearts of every Human Being bleed.
Authorities of small Ukrainian communities for ever used and are still using different kind of poison - rat poison and recently they "discovered" a new method of killing stray animals - Isoniazidum (Tubazidum) anti-tuberculosis drug causing cheap, but very slow and painful death

Anyone else feel the same? Being a pro-life vegan makes sense, but at the same time puts me in a rather odd position. Politically, my views are split pretty down the middle. I am having a hard time finding a party that fits my values.

| Unborn children rights and animal rights |
[28 Aug 2006|04:02am] |
This is an article comparing the animal rights activism and the pro-life movement. From my point of view, a pro-abortion animal rights activist is an hypocrite. I don't eat meat and fish because I don't want to kill animals, I won't have sex until I can face the possibility of being a father because I don't want to cause the death of an unborn human being. In both cases my responsibility is indirect, but in any commissioned murder the person who pays the killer is as responsible as the person who fires the gun.
This is the article:

| The position of pro-life anarchism |
[03 Jul 2006|04:55pm] |
Maybe you have alredy read this, anyway this is a discussion about anarchist politics and abortion from a pro-life point of view.
http://www.strike-the-root.com/51/gregory/gregory7.html
I must say that a pro-life feminist politics would be more effective in reducing the total numer of abortions (legal+illegal ones) then this anarchist politics, for the simple reason that an anarchist society requires a high level of moral perfection, and people make mistakes and sins, so it's very difficult to live always to the required perfect level of ethical behaviour. A truly anarchist society is possible, I belive in it, but must be made of saints.

| Muscular Dystrophy Canada |
[07 Apr 2006|08:13pm] |
a guy at my works little kid is doing a fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy Canada... and at first I had thought I should look them up with relation to animal testing. Then I realized I should also check up them in regards to embryonic stem cell research. They support both. =0|
The two charities that I like to support right now are
http://www.watercan.ca - clean water is a basic necessity of life. It is ridiculous to think that in the 21st century people are dying simply because they do not have access to clean water. ....water is vegan
http://www.childhaven.ca - the charity aims to uphold gandhian ideals. They feed the children vegan food, and provide women in need with work - making soyamilk! (Too bad their charity dinners still serve dairy though)
