It was absolutely gorgeous!

I have always believed, however, that Conservation is always recommended- smart, responsible and fairly in order and usually non disruptive to nature. Thanks again for stopping by.J.C.

Aren't humans amazin...A Holiday Thought...<br /><br /> Aren't humans amazing? They kill wildlife - birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice and foxes by the million in order to protect their domestic animals and their feed.<br /><br /> Then they kill domestic animals by the billion and eat them. This in turn kills people by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and cancer.<br /><br /> So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases.<br /><br /> 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.<br /><br /> Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and once a year send out cards praying for "Peace on Earth."<br /><br /> ~Revised Preface to Old MacDonald's Factory Farm by C. David Coates~<br /><br /> _____________<br /><br /><br />Anyone can break this cycle of violence! Everyone has the power to choose compassion!
