An important issue here in SC.
So many domestic animal issues would be non-existent if people would just sterilize their pets.
Alternatives in science refers to the horrific animal experiments and testing that goes on for human benefit. Many organizations (NAVS and AAVS and PCRM) are developing new (equally good) methods to bring about the knowledge without the cruelty.
Save the trees!
One of the reasons some people go vegetarian is for the effect factory farms have on our environment. Many people who call themselves environmentalists stop short when the dinner plate is involved. For example, more environmental damage is done from the raising of cattle (their drinking water, crop erosion and excrement) than from all the watering of plant crops for human consumption and human sewage put together.
One of the biggest social platforms with the Baha'i Faith is racial unity.
Plant another tree and be happy!
Not real sure what this means, but it sounds good.
Self explanatory.
I got so tired of people saying that those who didn't support the war weren't patriotic. I wore this to the peace rally. It's actually from a Baha'i source - see the nine-pointed star behind the peace dove?
Yum. I had this long before the current craze for organic food was so popular.
Although there's a lot of chatter about globalization, I don't see enough activity that truly reflects our respect for others with whom we share the planet. The general motto in this contry is, if I can do it and have the money to do it, why not? I'll tell you why not: we are all connected on the planet TOGETHER. Example: companies that destroy the rainforest for a variety of reasons. Where do you think we get most of our new drugs? From crazy wierd plants in the Amazon Rainforest. Who is that going to hurt one day when there isn't a new antibiotic to counteract MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) ... US! There's a saying attributed to Jesus that sort of goes ... whatever happens to the least of my bretheran happens to me. When are we going to wake up?
Ahhh.. my boyfriend Mohandas. He was certainly not a perfect being, but his compassion towards all life forms sings in my heart. Kind of makes me think of the Michael Vick brouhaha.. I guess the U.S. isn't such a great nation after all.
This is one of the shirts that were so popular in the 80's that would change colors in the sun or with heat. The purple becomes a bright pink. God, how long have I had this shirt?
Actually this used to belong to one of the girls. I don't tend to wear it out in public much!
These bumperstickers that say "God Bless America" really tick me off. Is God not supposed to bless anyone else? The old song of the same name was just a patriotic ditty which I can deal with. But in this era the saying means something totally different.
I'm going to wear this the next time I donate blood or platelets (tee hee hee.)
Why do people feel free to take the skin off of others when they have their own?
Our arctic wildlife are on the road to extinction, if not from global warming from human encroachment.
Obvious.
Another message to take animal cruelty out of science.
I can't understand why people aren't concerned about animal suffering. I guess I shouldn't be surprised... they're not very nice to each other either.
No, I didn't find Saeed at an animal shelter!
