A Philosophy of Vegan Values
The term philosophy is often used to mean a set of basic values and attitudes toward life, nature and society.
In this sense, Veganism is a "Philosophy of Life," guided by what I envision as an essential core of values and principles:
•Vegans see life as a phenomenon to be treasured, revered and respected. We do not see animals as either "The Enemy" to be subdued, or the Materials for Food, Fabric or Fun that were put on Earth for human use.
•Vegans see themselves as a part of the natural world, rather than its owners or its masters.
•Veganism recognizes no expendable or superfluous species that humans are free to hurt or destroy. Species of life-forms need not justify their existence, nor plead for protection from extinction on the grounds of their potential usefulness as food or medicine for humans. We continue to be burdened and misguided by adages such as "A weed is a plant we have not yet found a use for."
•Veganism acknowledges the intrinsic legitimacy of all life. It rejects any hierarchy of acceptable suffering among sentient creatures. It is no more acceptable to torment or kill creatures with "primitive nervous systems" than those with "highly developed nervous systems." The value of life to its possessor is the same, whether it be the life of a clam, a crayfish, a carp, a cow, a chicken, or a child.
•Veganism understands that gentleness cannot be a product of violence, harmony cannot be a product of strife, and peace cannot be a product of contention and conflict.
•Vegan ideals encompass much more than advocacy of a diet free of animal products, or a fervent defense of animal rights. Veganism excludes no sentient being–animal or human– from its commitment to compassionate, gentle benevolence. To show tender regard for the suffering of animals, yet treat humans with callous contempt, is a disheartening contradiction of Vegan principles.
•John Muir, talking about the natural environment, once observed "Every time I bend down to pick something up, I find it is connected to something else." There is an equivalent "ecology" to our behavior. Everything we do connects to something else; every action touches on the world around us, either close at hand and noticeable, or far away and unperceived, immediate in its effect or distant in time.
•If Veganism has a prime value, it is simply that life-respecting compassion overrides individual issues of custom, convenience, comfort or cuisine.
•If there is a single article of faith, it is that commitment to Vegan values will bring us closer to a world in which the fate and fortune of a planet and all its life forms do not hang on the judgment or the generosity of one species.
•If there is one single concept that both generates and sustains the meaning and the power of the Vegan world-view, it is found in the word mindfulness. As Vegans, we strive to be thoughtful, aware and concerned about the impact of our choices, our actions and our decisions. The fruit of this awareness is inner peace, the quiet strength of ethical confidence, and an uplifting sense of fulfillment.

anything about PARANORMAL.
About me: The danger does not lie in the death of the physical body, as millions believe: the danger exists in the WAY in which one LIVES. There is nothing in the Universe to be afraid of, except our own ignorance and its consequences. We live on Earth to develop our consciousness, awareness and understanding of the specific aspects of laws of Nature and the Universe. What we think we “know” on Earth is just a tiny drop in the Ocean of Knowledge. (Chalko)
I am most importantly an ANIMAL RIGHTS activist.I am VEGAN and yes...I am healthy and get enough protein.It is a compassionate choice. Some people turn their backs on the horrific conditions of animal abuse...I speak for those who cannot speak.
I have a huge interest in anything paranormal. Like most people, it began with many personal experiences. My views are quite respectful. I do not seek or provoke afterlife. I help those in need. I am a Psychic/Medium and Animal Communicator.
I am currently studying and researching Animal Ghosts. I am looking for locations to investigate...My website is in progress...WWW.ANIMALPARANORMAL.COM
Please contact me here on MySpace or my email address Mel@animalparanormal.com
if you have current info on an animal haunting.
When I am not traveling, my day job = ER nurse.

ok, so it's official. My daughter and I are doing Opening Night demo against Ringling. It's July 29 (Wed.) and show starts at 7:30 so we will be there for set up at 6 pm. I really wish you could join us if you do not have any other plans, as this is our first time organizing. We'd love help from a certain tiger if she's free.
thanks Melissa, I will email to get more info. I also think of the demo when I think of Michael Jackson, because that is where we were too. I will keep u posted about opening night, hopefully you can come if you dont have any other plans.
Hi Melissa, It's Crystal from The Ringling Campaign in Onario (6-25)Are you and Virginia planning anything for Opening Night July 29 in Ontario in front of Ringling? My family in very interested in participating if so. I got lots of new recruits since they've seen my pictures of you and the group when we campaigned. You truley are an inspiration for us all to do our part to speak for the animals.
"An infallible characteristic of meanness is cruelty. Men who have practiced tortures on animals without pity, relating them without shame, how can they still hold their heads among human beings?" Johnson, Samuel British novelist
