'Eating Animals': A Book to Digest
Jonathan Safran Foer has burst from his comfortable cocoon in the world of fiction writing and thrown four feet into the tussle over the food we eat in America through his first work of nonfiction, "Eating Animals."Talk Back: Veal Calf Cruelty
Reaction to The HSUS’s undercover investigation exposing callous animal cruelty at a Vermont slaughter plant was universal: absolute disgust. Today, I post some of your responses.Halt the Trade of Endangered Species
At stake is nothing less than the continued existence of critically endangered species, as well as preventing international trade of threatened species at risk of becoming even more imperiled.From California to Ohio: A Year After Prop 2's Passage
A year ago today, voters in California sent shockwaves through the world of agribusiness by approving Proposition 2. The vote has reverberated, just as we hoped it would.One Lone Voice Against Animal Welfare
I’ve been encouraged, even heartened, by the swift and broad reaction to The HSUS’s recent undercover investigations of wanton animal abuse. That is, with one inexcusable exception.Caught on Tape: Cruelty to Calves a Wake-Up Call
More details about our undercover investigation of Bushway Packing, Inc., a plant in Grand Isle, Vt. that specialized in slaughtering days-old calves discarded by the dairy industry for “bob veal.”HSUS Investigation Uncovers Veal Calf Abuse, Closes Plant
It’s always deeply disturbing to see the mistreatment of animals, but there’s something even worse when the victims are babies and seem so utterly vulnerable and frightened.Man Bites Shark Protections
Earlier this year, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Shark Conservation Act, but the U.S. Senate has not yet taken action. This appears, in part, to be due to objections by fishing industry representatives in North Carolina and Virginia.Redoubling Our Efforts in West Virginia
"It's only illegal now because of the puritan sense of a few people who don't find it an appropriate sport," said Bradford Parker, a spokesman for the West Virginia Association for Gamecock Sports in an interview with the Charleston Gazette....Talk Back: Queen Tillie, 50 Things To Do
Many readers responded with excitement to a before and after story posted last week about a senior Chihuahua who was among more than 700 dogs rescued from a Kaufman County, Texas puppy mill in August. Here are some of your...WELCOME TO ANIMALS FIRST! Where diversity, ideas and thinking out of the box have value! We are short on rules, but mainly be respectful and learn to accept that others have opposing viewpoints... and be over 18 years of age. Most of all, have fun!
We are here to promote RESPONSIBLE pet guardianship, proper care and nutrition for our animals, and to act as a voice for those who have no voice.
Concordia cum veritate...In harmony with truth

“Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts.” ~ Martin Buxbaum
There is a fundamental tenet held among most animal welfare and animal rights advocates that we accept as incontrovertible. That precept was perhaps best articulated by Mahatma Gandhi when he said, “the greatness of a nation and its moral progress is best judged by how we treat our animals”. This principle expresses the belief that when a community is compassionate enough to care about the needs of its animals there can be a reasonable expectation that the bar is raised on how we care and treat one another.
We are delighted to invite you to visit our friend and novelist, Harry Porter's website!

“For us, the animals are understood to be our equals. They are still our teachers. They are our helpers and healers. They have been our guardians and we have been theirs. We have deep obligations to them. Without the other animals, we are made less.” Chickasaw novelist and poet Linda Hogen

IN MEMORY OF RAIN
The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears. ~Arabian Proverb
Don't Cry For The Horses
By: Susan Humphrey
They were ours as a gift, but never to keep,
As they close their eyes forever to sleep.
Their spirits unbound,
On silver wings they fly.
A million white horses,
Against the blue sky.
Look up into heaven,
You'll see them above.
The horses we lost,
The horses we loved.
Manes and tails flowing,
As they gallop through time,
They were never yours- they were never mine.
Don't cry for the horses,
They'll be back some day.
When our time is gone,
They will show us the way.
Do you hear that soft nicker?
Close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses,
Love the ones that are here.
I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?" God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. "I have done something," He replied, "I created you."
The Animal's Savior, Jim Willis 1999
"Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." - Kahlil Gibran
