| Bio: |
We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
- Henry Beston
---------------------------------
Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the millions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative -- and fatal -- health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out cards praying for "Peace on Earth."
- Preface from Old MacDonald's Factory Farm, by C. David Coates

+I am a 24-year-old married female.
+Scorpio
+Passionate in beliefs and opinions.
+Loves reading and writing.
+In love with literature.
+College graduate with English BA.
+I work for the Department of Justice -- editing and transcribing court cases.
+I'm veg*n and proud.
+I'm in Lyme hell. It took nearly a year to get a confirmed diagnosis from a LLMD. I had to diagnose myself because most doctors are ignorant to the disease (and many people suffer because of this). I have Lyme Disease, as well as Bartonella (a co-infection of Lyme Disease). Most days I feel ill and wiped out, unless I get lucky and have a 'good' day or, even luckier, a 'good' week or few.
+I practice Natural Family Planning.
+I love my diva cup.
+I try to keep my life as natural as possible.
+I'm a HUGE Disturbed fan.
Run, to where the smallest ray of light will never find you
Run, to where you will not need to shield your eyes
Run, away from all the soulless, heartless fiends who hound you
Run, away and let your memories go blind... - lyrics from Devour by Disturbed
