This isn't how the story ends

"At any given moment, you have the power to say: 
This is not how the story is going to end." 
-Christine Mason Miller


Are we, as people, this uncreative? Are we this oblivious to the needs of other creatures?

I don't think so.


This isn't how the story ends. This may just be how the story begins...


Human creativity and innovation... Human empathy and compassion… We have solved and are able to solve so many problems.


Through the choices that we make every day… we can be more conscious, we can be more humane. We can all make choices that have better consequences for animals.


When we know better, we do better.

What will you do? When will you speak against the dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan?

Will you sign a petition? Or speak with your money and never support the dolphin entertainment industry or any captive dolphin programs?

at least


Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. 
And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
- Dalai Lama

The dolphin hunt in Taiji, Japan has begun… again. 

September 15th was the first slaughter of the season.

And my heart breaks… again.
