I have NEVER encountered so much drama and judgement from a site before…
Before any one had a chance to get to know me, I noticed soo much judgment being passed upon myself, and for this, I am disappointed. I am not here to change anyone or force them to convert to vegan-ism, and I am definatly not here to judge others. I am here to help share and educate for the animals, I want to be their voice because they do not have one, and most lack thumbs for that matter.
Most of you will choose to ignore my posts, and this is your right, I only post material because I know living creatures are suffering at this very moment, if people choose to ignore it or not, it does not make their crisis go away, this just causes their cries to go unheard. This is your choice, but they do not have a choice, because of us humans and our corporate material society, IMO.
So, basically, if animal related news bothers you, then don’t add me as a friend. I do not have time for senseless criticism like some are e-mailing me. This is my choice to be here not for my personal needs/desires. I do not give you a hard time or judge your lifestyles, and I expect the same, so, please let’s just act like grown ups, thank you!
respect for all- peace, love and light!
I’m still hurting a bit over the loss of a dog I had only known for about 12 hours back in November, so avoidance of all things dog related is a priority for now…But criticism? What’s the point of that? Humans are way more confusing to me than animals…
lol,
Yes, I lost my elderly border collies in november also, I had them long over a decade, one passed from old age and the other 2 hours later from a broken heart…animals do feel compassion, and I still hurt when I think of them, they have taught me soo much!
Respect, love and light!
XXXOOO
A.R. Please don’t let those people affect you,there are many here saying that exact same thing to others.In fact just yesterday I saw a comment by one of my friends in the steam that mentioned some thing similar to what you are know speaking on…First I wondered why that person would put it in the stream,but not for long…then I got a little concerned as to that persons motives,but then I was reminded that the person had the same rights of approval/,and or disapproval to say whatever they wanted to say,and wherever they choose to say it.I’m not worrying about it any longer because I let it go….my advise from a purely practical side of things is that you also let it go my friend,and keep on doing what you need to do.

I only have a couple things in mind when thinking about Vegans that try to convert Omnivores.
1. Ok, I get it that some animals are mistreated when waiting to become our next meal and I agree that problem should be addressed.
2. we are omnivores by GODS design and notice he only wanted us to not eat from the cloven hoof (unclean meat).
He does not expect us to go vegan.
I do not want to get into a debate about the benefits of meat vs vegetable but Proteins from meat gives you MORE than what veggies do.
(amino acids is the full string of proteins).
I will enjoy my hamburgers until the day I die.
Two words sums it all up: Food Chain
If you’re going to be an effective activist you cannot have a thin skin. If you stay positive and make it about the issue and not yourself, you’ll inspire others.
It all boils down to respect. Respect should be mutual. I see the same issue with Atheism vs. Christianity, Republicans vs. Democrats.. it’s all about respect for one another. It also boils down to personal convictions. And when it comes to one’s personal convictions, no one has the right to dispute them.
Just continue to do what you do, spread awareness. Unfortunately this site doesn’t offer an effective “block feature.” I would suggest simply blocking these people who are antagonizing you.
Finally, I adore animals and detest cruelty of any kind done to them.
I think what you are doing is kind and a more than worthy cause. Never once have I felt pushed in any direction by you. I honestly do have a hard time reading some of the posts. Cruelty in any form makes me sick to my stomach. Not what you write, but just knowing there are people in this world who could hurt anyone or anything for no good reason. Seeing that you do post, every time you post is enough to remind that there is bad going on and that I need to help when I am able. I am sorry if someone is giving you grief, that upsets me too.
Hang in there by keeping on with what you are doing. Some of us do what we can for animal friends even if it seems pitifully small against so much need and suffering. I often read and sign petitions from you but even more, I do what I can here where I live in my local community.
