Animal Rights
We are the voice of the earth, sky and sea. We are the tears of the poor and oppressed. We are the blood of the countless murdered. And we are the seeds of the new world to come. The daylight of a new age shines in our eyes and the voice of true freedom sings in our hearts. Ours is the vision of a beautiful new dawn and yours is the nightmare we will wage this war on. So let the fires of justice burn away this plague. Let the rain cleanse this world and let the end come. I can’t stand to the side and watch this hell rise. Watch the forests fall and the animals slaughtered. Watch my brothers and sisters enslaved for corporate greed and if war will bring the end, then war it must be.

“ The two personas – the ovo-lacto-vegetarian (OLV) and the animal rights activist (ARA) — are so in contradiction to each other that they cannot co-exist in the same person.
