I am the director of a very heartfelt documentary film called EARTHLINGS, which is narrated by the immensely talented JOAQUIN PHOENIX and features a soundtrack by the critically acclaimed artist MOBY. EARTHLINGS focuses on humankind's economic dependence on animals, (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment and scientific research). You can learn more about the film by CLICKING ON ANY OF THE BOXES BELOW ...
Who I'd like to meet:
This is the advance one-sheet for the humanitarian film Unity, which is Volume II in the Earthlings trilogy
The black and white picture below is concept art for a film I'm working on. This photo-realistic image was created by the incredible Gretchen Ryan.
Details: 1 Of 2 Stray Black Dogs Spent Months Trying to Rescue Killed:
The young male dog was killed by redneck in white truck but not hit & run accident. Dogs were standing still in road, didn't run out suddenly, evening daylight. Not typical 'abuse' but unless bastard that plowed down dog was blind..intentional.
Live on isolated country rd...but some yahoos are capable of such cruelty after a few beers. I was outside & saw everything. Just filled dishes w/ food & water. Dogs came from field across rd. to eat, but always hesitate until I go back inside.
Driver didn't slow down or blow horn. Death wasn't instant...agonizing yelps haunt me. I'm investigating to find driver...take legal action. Leaving an innnocent animal to die in a ditch across rd. like garbage.
Tried to save him but...it's all I can bear to say for a while. Felt I owed you an explanation for my rambling letter last week. XXOO
Hello Shaun Monson Something terrible happened to one of the 2 black stray dogs I was trying to rescue & I witnessed it. Of course it was a human being's disgusting careless & wreck less actions.. The youngest one, the skinny one that was beginning to get friendlier & was gaining weight is dead.
I have been literally a shut in since it happened late Tues. evening August 25. I can't eat & have to take pills to go to sleep because I keep replaying the nightmare in my head. I'm angry, heartbroken, crying shaking & inconsolable. I'm so pissed off that I want revenge, someone to pay for his death & every other hurt, abused or dead animal when caused by human inflicted cruelty or carelessness whether accident or intentional...I've had it.
Now his best friend is alone, I saw him twice but he looks lonely & frightened. My husband told me life goes on & I must carry on & care for all the other dogs & cats we saved but it's not that easy for me. Ever since I was a little girl a hurt or lost animal would tear me apart inside, I'd lie in bed & cry for days when 'the dogcatcher' came for a stray my parents wouldn't allow me to keep. I can't help it, wish I was stronger & don't know how to shake my deep sadness for this animals misfortune & early grave right now.
I will tell you all who cared enough to give me encouragement when I thought I lost them a few weeks ago more details when I can stop crying long enough & gather the strength to discuss the horrific details.
Thanks for your kindness, at least I know there are some good people in this rotten cruel world we have made for animals the 'lesser important species' in our superior justification of our abuses of them.
I'll be back online soon again this was therapeutic though some of you who may not have read what was going on with this situation might think I'm crazy. Keep your pets safe & close to you. If any living species deserves a heaven it&
“Being all fashioned of the same dust, Let us be merciful as well as just.”
“Among the noblest in the land – Though man may count himself the least – That man I honor and revere, Who without favor, without fear, In the great city dares to stand, The friend of every friendless beast.”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~

The animals are abused behind the scenes- many years of truth Please
stop attending these disgusting acts of abuse on our elephants and
wildlife that should be in sanctuaries and not abused to perform for
your entertainment. Bullhook, Chaining,Denied water and food, Beatings. This abuse should not be tolerated in NEPA!
Altho not going to be sending chain letters anymore,this is beautiful,was sent to me n thought i'd share with you.
Sending this to you to see how many actually read their comments.Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you. Here goes: People come into your life for a REASON, a SEASON or a LIFETIME. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season . LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. Send this to everyone you care for that you have on-li
If friends were flowers Iwould not pick u! I'll let you grow in the garden and cultivate you with love and care so I can keep you as a friend 4ever!! besos xx
