"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated...I hold that, the more helpless a creature is the more entitled it is to protection (by people) from the cruelty (of human kind.)"
~ Mahatma Gandhi
Today is 11-11-11, a landmark day for each of us to commit ourselves, not only to championing the cause of our non-human brethren, but also to do one act of kindness today for whomever is brought our way.
We of the Guinea Pig Nation DECLARE 11-11-11 as: "InterGalactic Compassion For All Day."
(Yes, it is also Veterans Day and we thank those who have served and sacrificed on behalf of our freedom.) Let's extend our sacrifices to include all living beings!
I, MacNutPie, do swear upon a fine leaf of lettuce, to uphold this oath by reminding mom that when people act startled when she tells them about our Guinea Pig Sanctuary, to educate them that we are as entitled to the same rights, to be loved, cared for, fed, sheltered, and treated with the same compassion any human would expect for his or herself and family.
We are family, too!
And, we are compelled to say this, and you are free to respond honestly and take it to heart or not, but PLEASE CONSIDER NOT EATING US!
PLEASE CONSIDER NOT EATING MEAT, FISH, OR FOWL. PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING A VEGETARIAN BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPASSIONATE ACTS A HUMAN CAN GIFT - NOT ONLY TO HIS OR HER SELF, BUT TO ALL OF LIFE AND THE HEALTH OF THIS PRECIOUS, LITTLE BLUE PLANET EARTH, HANGING SUSPENDED IN SPACE AS A BEACON OF HOPE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
For more information about becoming a vegetarian from the standpoints of human, animal, and planetary health, we recommend
The Compassionate Diet by our friend
and mentor Arran Stephens, founder of Nature's Path Organic Foods, North America's largest organic breakfast foods company, and Eliot Jay Rosen. Arran has been our friend for many years
and all proceeds from this book are donated to charitable causes.
