SAVE THE CATS AND DOGS IN SOUTH KOREA

In South Korea, it is common to eat dogs. However, this is not
done in a humane manner but is achieved through
torturing them to death by hanging, beating them
with objects such as large rocks or sticks, strangulation, and electrocution.
It is a very brutal, long and painful death for this poor,inoffensive creatures.
These dogs are squeezed into cramped cages with no room to move and more
often than not, they hear and watch this terrible torture in sheer terror.
Cats are tortured to death by being struck on the hit repeatedly with
hammers by placing them in sacks which are then pounded on the ground.
The pain of these tortured and abused animals must be stopped.

In a world striving for peace and tolerance,
we can no longer continue to ignore
the inhumane torture of Korea's dogs and cats;
acts that are only cold-blooded and fuelled by greed.

"Please! Help me, my best friend!"

Rainbow Bridge


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially
close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our
special friends so they can run and play together.


There is plenty of food, water and sunshine,
and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored
to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed
are made whole and strong again, just as we remember
them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one
small thing; they each miss someone very special
to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together,
but the day comes when one suddenly
stops and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over
the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your
special friend finally meet, you cling together
in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands
again caress the beloved head, and you look once
more into the trusting eyes of your pet,
so long gone from your life
but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...

The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.

Where there is hatred let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.

Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.


Amen.

"As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility
to deal with all species with kindness, love and compassion.
That these animals suffer through human cruelty
is beyond understanding.
Please help to stop this madness."

Richard Gere



"I am in favor of animal rights as well as
human rights. That is the way of a whole human being."

Abraham Lincoln



"The medical argument for animal testing
doesn't stand up. Even if it did, I don't think
we should kill other species. We think we're
so much better; I'm not sure we are.
I tell people, We've beaten into submission
every animal on the face of the Earth, so we are
the clear winners of whatever battle is
going on between the species.
Couldn't we be generous?
I really do think it's time to get nice.
No need to keep beating up on them.
I think we've got to show that we're kind."

Paul McCartney



"If a group of beings from another planet
were to land on Earth -- beings who considered
themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself
to be to other animals -- would you concede them
the rights over you that you assume over other animals?
Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur
in laboratories and are called medical research."

George Bernard Shaw



"I don't have any understanding of a human being
who doesn't respect the beauty of life and that goes
for all creatures that have thoughts,feelings and needs.
I know what it feels like to be hurt,and I don't want
to cause that pain to any other person or creature.
But somehow, in society, we numb ourselves in order
to make money or to feel better about ourselves,
such as with cosmetics or food. We say to ourselves,
I'm going to use this animal. I'm going to say it doesn't
have much worth so that I can allow myself to do these
cruel things. And that just isn't fair."

Alicia Silverstone



"We don't live the lives of Eskimos.
We don't need to kill animals for fashion."

Charlize Theron



" What I think about vivisection is that if people
admit that they have the right to take or endanger
the life of living beings for the benefit of many,
there will be no limit to their cruelty."

Leo Tolstoy



" I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces
results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't...
The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals
is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient
justification of the enmity without looking further."

Mark Twain



" Killing animals for sport, for pleasure, for adventure,
and for hides and furs is a phenomena which is at once
disgusting and distressing. There is no justification
in indulging is such acts of brutality."

The Dalai Lama



" Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is
the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all
other living beings, we are still savages."

Thomas Edison



" If a man aspires towards a righteous life,
his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals."

Albert Einstein



" I abhor vivisection with my whole soul.
All the scientific discoveries stained with
innocent blood I count as of no consequence."

Mahatma Gandhi



" It's really important to me to show the
interconnectedness of things. I always try
to illustrate how environmentalism, humanitarianism,
animal rights - all those things - are one and the same."

Daryl Hannah



" All beings seek for happiness;
so let your compassion extend itself to all."

Mahavamsa



"When it comes to having a central nervous system,
and the ability to feel pain, hunger, and thirst,
a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy."

Ingrid Newkirk - President of PETA



" To a man whose mind is free there is something
even more intolerable in the sufferings of animals
than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter
it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that
the man who causes it is a criminal. But thousands
of animals are uselessly butchered every day
without a shadow of remorse. If any man were
to refer to it, he would be thought ridiculous.
And that is the unpardonable crime."

Romain Rolland



" Compassion for animals is intimately connected with
goodness of character; and it may be confidently asserted
that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man."

Arthur Schopenhauer



" We must fight against the spirit of unconscious
cruelty with which we treat the animals.
Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity
does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them.
It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it.
Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living
things, humanity will not find peace."

Albert Schweitzer



" If you could see or feel the suffering, you wouldn't
think twice. Give back life. Don't eat meat."

Kim Basinger



" Since visiting the abatoirs of S. France
I have stopped eating meat."

Vincent Van Gogh









Dian Fossey



(1932 - 1985)



Dian Fossey was born in 1932. Her childhood was difficult.
She was the only child of George and Kitty Fossey.
Her father drank heavily, causing a divorce when Dian
was only three. She saw little of him afterwards.
When Dian was five her mother married Richard Price.
Price did not treat his new step-daughter well. He had her
eat dinner in the kitchen with the housekeeper until she was ten.
When she went to college, he financed little of her education.
Dian, like many children, loved animals.
The only animal she had growing up was a goldfish.
When the goldfish died, she was never permitted to have
another animal, not even a hamster that was
offered to her by a schoolmate (Mowat, 1987).

Dian Fossey was trained as an occupational therapist and
found a job at the Kosair Children's Hospital in Kentucky.
She seemed to be able to communicate with
the disabled children in ways others could not.
Though she loved her job, she had a desire
to see more of the world, so she borrowed against
her next three-years earnings to finance a trip to Africa.
Of particular interest to her was the excavations
at Olduvia and the mountain gorillas of the
Virunga Volcanoes of Central Africa.

In 1963 Dian took a six week trip to Africa where she
met the famed Dr. Louis Leaky. He inspired her to
study mountain gorillas. Fossey began carefully observing
gorillas in Zaire, in 1967. Soon after, she moved to Rwanda,
and there she started the Karisoke Research Center.
After living there for at least 18 years
among the gorillas, she earned their complete trust.
She was the first person ever recorded to make
contact with a gorilla, when one she called Peanuts,
touched her hand. The gorillas allowed her to sit among them,
watch them play, and play with them and their young.
She soon became very attached to a young
male gorilla whom which she called Digit,
and enjoyed watching him grow and he was
also very fond of her. Fossey's work changed
the way animals are studied in the wild.

A few years later, Dian's beloved friend, Digit,
was attacked and killed by poachers.
In response, Dian started a campaign against gorilla poaching.
National Geographic soon published an article
about Dian Fossey and her work,
which caught the attention of readers.
Many people sent donations to Dian, and with this money,
Dian established the Digit Fund to attract international
support for gorilla conservation and dedicated
her life to trying to save the mountain gorilla.

In 1980 Dian returned to America and went
to work at Cornell University and started
to write a book called Gorillas in the Mist,
which was later turned in to a movie.
After finishing the book, Dian went back to Rwanda.

Sadly, on December 26, 1985, Dian was found murdered
in her cabin at Karisoke. Her death has yet to be solved.
Today, Dian Fossey is remembered for her work and effort.
Her work has showed many people how much the mountain
gorillas need our help. And hopefully,
Dian Fossey will never be forgotten.

You can see her life in the movie
"Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey" (1988) with Sigourney Weaver.
