Coats of Cruelty Making Life Suffer



When greed becomes need, humanity gives way to cruelty; compassion dies; and life suffers at the hands which were meant to protect them. The scene of suffering of live birds whose bodies are ripped and torn for down is an open illustration of this cruelty. And not only do many people close an eye to it but actually wear it – as down jackets.

Ripping off a bird’s natural dress to turn into profitable coats may bring money but the color of that money is red, like the blood gushing from the wounds of the victims who don’t know why they are being tortured, but who do feel the same pain that makes us writhe when someone torture our human bodies.
Needless to say that caring people and anyone who respects life would say “no” to these coats of cruelty who not only keep us warm against winter but also cold against humanity’s warmth.

Heroes Saving Deer in WA


The news of an endangered deer species possibly facing complete wipeout in Washington is alarming and invites serious attention to the matter.

King5.com reported on February 27th that the Columbian White Tail Deer near Cathlamet, Washington, are at risk of serious harm by the Columbia River floods on the refuge this spring. US Fish and Wildlife Manager Jackie Ferrier was quoted saying that the small number of surviving deer – around 100 now – have been at the risk of harm to life after a critical dike started falling into the Columbia River.

So the deer now need to be removed from the refuge, not to mention the millions of dollars that will be lost as flood damages the refuge facilities.

The upbeat news is that rescuers aren’t giving up on these endangered deer. They are being rescued, often one at a time, and transported to the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. These rescuers are the true heroes that aren’t finding nationwide recognition in media that is too busy with flaming gun control debates and promoting vaccines.
