Animal Rights

"Without a global revolution in the sphere of human consciousness nothing will change for the better."  Vaclav Havel

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty." Thomas Jefferson 

October 15, 2011 - Occupy Wall Street has grown to Occupy World - a movement for social, economic, and political change. If an international crusade is successful in uniting the diverse activists and organizations, and if there’s an ethical revaluation of current values, perhaps there’s hope for all of the oppressed beings and our Earth. A capitalist lifestyle and its global practices have brought us to the brink of destruction. Animals used as resources, routinely and wrongfully condemned to diabolical abuses and death. Why? For the economy, for man’s end. The impetus for reform is a moral one and begins with you. The innocent and voiceless cannot unite and speak for themselves, so I do. Carmina Gooch
