The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. -Mahatma Gandhi
On November 18, 2011, it became legal to slaughter American horses for human consumption in the United States. What?! Americans don’t eat horses. We ride them, groom them, love them, use them in therapy, and make movies about them. Imagine sitting through two hours of War Horse, only to watch "Joey" get slaughtered after his brave and heroic service. Unthinkable? Think again.
I thought I'd share with you some of what I'm doing to change the world... at least what I hope to.
Someone once told me, "Lower your expectations of others and you'll be a much happier person."
Well that may be true, but it's not part of my makeup. I'm forever hopeful that others will care about and act on the things that I care about.
We all have missions we're on and have something we wish to share with others. I thought I'd share with you some of what I'm doing to change the world... at least what I hope to change.
Frogs Are Green
Simple life lessons learned through the eyes of Scout.
Every Sunday morning I let my dog Scout, take me for a walk. I figure for everyday of the week this dog minds his manners, he can have a sniffing adventure one day of the week. And that is exactly what he does: He sniffs his way all around our neighborhood. I drink my coffee at his long sniffs and enjoy his tail wagging happiness.
A few months ago I put Scout’s needs on the back burner and I learned a few life lessons from this sweet canine.
Plus, ex encounters, lactation science, amazing va-jay-jays, and 8 relationship killers.
10 must-click love and relationship links: brothel hires male prostitute, 8 relationship killers, first date food, animal performs oral sex on itself, buying shoes for a guy.
Breaking up and starting over with a canine in tow.
I realize there are people who don't understand, who think loving a dog is a cop out. I listen to my parents sigh when I talk about paying for a dog walker. I hear the undertones of their comments implying not-so-subtly that this type of concern and obligation should only be displayed towards people, namely children. But as it is with all things in life, you can't anticipate who will walk in and who will walk out and what impact the coming and going will have on you.
NBC rejects suggestive PETA commercial as obscene.
Do vegetarians have better sex? Vegetarians behind People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) say their meat-free diets make their sex lives superior, but NBC will hear nothing of it.
The network rejected PETA's racy "Veggie Love" Super Bowl commercial, saying it depicts a level of sexuality exceeds their standards. (Was it the suggestion of asparagus penetration or the suggestive pumpkin licking?) Actually, NBC submitted a blush-worthy list of additional shots to be cut before the commercial is resubmitted. It included "touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli," "pumpkin from behind between legs," "rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin," "screwing herself with broccoli," "licking eggplant," and "rubbing asparagus on breast." Lucky for Love Buzz, the commercial doesn't exceed our standards.
