A Religious Proclamation for Animal Compassion is Unveiled
" Those who make peaceful protest impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.
The more the government or the police try to stop citizens from speaking out against injustice, cruelty and oppression, the more likely things will escelate to violence. "
--- JFK ---
We so stand for the right to peacefully protest - for the purpose of educating the public on issues that concern animal welfare and rights :)
Just as those have the right to peacefully protest against cruelty and exploitation of the human race !

I no longer use language that accepts the current concept of animals as property, commodities and/or things. Rather than refer to myself and others as "owners" of animals, I now refer to myself and others as "guardians" of our animal companions and to animals as "he" or "she" rather than "it". I urge you to do the same.

" It takes a very special person to put in the time and effort to help out the little guys who have no voice ..... and you are also the voice of me and a million others like me who get lost , and distracted in our own tiny little worlds and dont do as much as we should to help stamp out Animal cruelty .... If we forget to pray for the angels , then the angels will forget to pray for us ..... keep up the good work and i'm honoured to have you as a freind. "

For the first time on DVD the controversial classic film shockingly relevant to today
Said Alan Brien of THE SUNDAY TIMES (UK)
"The most impressive film maudit, possibly too hot to handle, is Victor Schonfeld's The Animals Film, a polemical onslaught, stuffed with footage never before shown, and a wealth of newly-shot material often taken undercover, which documents...mankind's degradation, exploitation, and often pointless torture, of the creatures who share our planet.He proves, beyond contradiction, that this behaviour is not just random or personal but part of our organised society, with drug companies, government departments, scientists, military authorities, factory farmers, university research laboratories, for their own selfish ends, for profit in money or prestige.I do not know when I have come out of a screening so moved by the power of the cinema as a medium to transform the entire sensibility of an audience.
IDA on Circus Cruelty
"This is the single most powerful and informative movie about society's treatment of animals. A must see for anyone who cares enough to know"
- Woody Harrelson -
Books
"Alana Stevenson's The Right Way the First Time is a welcome addition to the chorus of positive dog training. Its beauty lies in Alana's direct approach. The book is easy to understand and is fueled by Alana's genuine and obvious love of animals. She emphasizes the importance of educating dogs "the right way, the first time," which is an invaluable refrain. If more and more people implement her suggestions, more and more dogs...and people...will benefit."
— Paul Owens, author of The Dog Whisperer,
A Compassionate, Nonviolent Approach to Dog Training
WITH MY EYES
My prayer tonight is for all who lie down in chains and cages.
Alone and afraid on a concrete floor
Soundless screams lost beneath the clang of metal
Locked in rooms most will never see.
I feel their fear arise in my soul
Ancient yet new...
A primal flame burning against the walls of my heart.
I want to scream an endless note,
Loud and true:
Clubbed,
Forgotten.
Dismembered,
Forgotten.
Gassed,
Forgotten.
Beaten,
Forgotten.
Burned,
Forgotten.
Electrocuted,
Forgotten.
Abandoned,
Forgotten.
Poisoned,
Forgotten.
Skinned,
Forgotten.
Shot,
Forgotten.
Caged,
Forgotten.
Shackled,
Forgotten.
Murdered,
Forgotten.
And with my eyes, they will be seen.
With my voice, they will be heard.
With my hands, they will know comfort.
With my action, they will be free.
Dear God, fill their oppressors with mercy and empathy.
Dear God, instill compassion where there is apathy.
Replace horror with grace.
Bloodshed with healing.
Restore all humans and animals to their natural place.
Liberate all humans and animals from greed, violence and hate.
So that tonight and evermore, ALL may lie down to sleep
unchained, uncaged, FREE
AMEN

Although Jainism is the only religion to consistently advocate against harming any living being, passages against cruelty to animals can be found in the literature of many other ancient religions as well as those that evolved from them; Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Zoroastrianism and others advocate kindness to animals and often prescribe vegetarianism as a way of life.

Shambo 'For Mary Alice'
When you are helpless I will be able
When your head is bowed I am your cradle
Though they take your body, I embrace your soul
By candle light your spirit, whole
Your burden, my strength
My tears, your release
Ascend to heaven, proud beloved beast
Always know that I stood brave and true
For those that live on, I will fight for you
And in your name let each be spoken
N'er this peace, this love be broken.

WHY I QUESTION THE WWF
The World Wildlife Fund (also known as the Worldwide Fund for Nature, or simply WWF) has been actively pressuring government agencies in the U.S., Europe, and Canada to increase the amount of testing that they require for pesticides and other chemicals. The result of the WWF’s lobbying has been the establishment of what threaten to be the largest animal-testing programs of all time.
And that’s not all. As one would expect of an organization founded by trophy hunters, the WWF does not oppose killing animals for sport. The WWF believes that culling (read “killing”) elephants and seals is OK, it supports the slaughter of whales by native tribes, and it refuses to speak out against steel-jaw leghold traps.
Surprised?

" Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: 'Because the animals are like us.' Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: 'Because the animals are not like us.' Animal experimentation rests on a logical
contradiction. "
I am the voice of the voiceless:
Through me, the dumb shall speak;
Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear
the cry of the wordless weak.

Animals, like all sentient beings, are entitled to basic rights in our society. Deprioved of legal protection, animals are defensless against exploitation and abuse by humans.
1. The right of animals to be free from exploitation, cruelty, neglect and abuse.
2. the right of laboratory animals to not be used in cruel or unnecessary experiments.
3. the right of farm animals to an environment that satisfies their basic physical and psychological needs.
4. The right of companion animals to a healthy diet, protective shelter, and adequate medical care.
5. The right of wildlife to a natural habitat, ecologically sufficient to a normal existance and a self-sustaining species population.
6. The right of animals to have their interests represented in court and safeguarded by the law of the land.

Mary Alice is also the Host for the MySpace Group, Singer/Songwriters & Musicians Against The Chinese Cat, Dog and Captive Animal FUR TRADE.
By joining our group, you are showing your support against this cruel trade and do encourage other musicians to join also - in unity we can stop this horribly cruel and totally unnecessary business. Also in the Blog you will find many animal welfare related items which are in need of your support - to help takes just a few moments of your time ... :) !
Message From Maria Daines: CVFA Patron and Official Patron for this group.
How would it feel to have no power to stop a very frightening and painful thing happening to you? How would it feel to cry and not be heard? How would it feel to be crammed into a box with say 30 other beings, and then go on a long journey with no food or water... How would it feel to reach the end of that journey and be thrown from the top of a truck? And how would it feel to then be beaten and skinned? And how would it feel if you were still alive...?
If you believe fur should be worn by animals and not by people... If you believe the fur trade is as dead as all the helpless animals caught up in it, then please sign the petition to give these poor creatures a voice and a chance to live.
Singers/songwriters/musicians/artists, we DO have a voice, and we will use it ! ! !
Dear Mary, Rosa, Mary Alice, Nicola, Lidia and Jari:
You are angels.
On Sept 27th, in Beijing, a young Chinese man and many of his musician
friends stood on a stage in a club full of people young and old, asked
them to remember the foxes and other fur animals who were there in
spirit..........
If one isn't able to take on a dog, or cat into their home FOR THEIR LIFETIME, then they should not have it in the first place. There is no excuse for these thousands of dogs each year to be KILLED because of human selfishness and greed. Don't breed or die while so many homeless die, give one of these beautiful dogs a forever home !

For 30 years, Jan Haagensen has been harassed and her farm in PA invaded with impunity by hunters, and her NO HUNTING signs and fences repeatedly torn down. 10 years ago, she had had enough, and approached the trespassing hunters to ask them to leave, and asked a hunter engaged in illegal hunting to cease and desist. When a hunter threatened to shoot her and her mother, she called police, which sided chummily with the hunters, and later charged her with 5 counts of "hunter harassment". The "kangaroo court" convicted her on all 5 counts. Being an attorney, she appealed to the appellate court and won, and is now challenging the PA Hunter Harassment Statute in federal court as being unconstitutional for inhibiting free speech and violating property rights. If she wins, doors will be open for challenging the equally unconstitutional Hunter Harassment laws of other states.
Jan will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this Friday, July 3, 3-4pm-ET/12-1pm-PT, online live at www.CoOpRadio.org. If you missed it, go to www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr where the interviews are archived. Call-in hotline 1-604-684-7561.
