Quote: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated " - .... Gandhi

Quote: "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "universe", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind o fprison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty" - .... Albert Einstein

The views expressed and articles re-printed may appear to some people new or controversial. All that we encourage is for people to keep an open mind. If subjects are raised of which you are unsure, take the trouble to research the issue fully until you are able to come to sound judgement with which you personally feel comfortable. We encourage feed back, view points and questions. We can all learn something new at any time, all opinions are worthy of consideration and debate. Changing our view point is not always easy but sometimes can be beneficial, sometimes even essential.
