True dat!!

Well, I know we all practice that!! I just could never understand how others can be unkind to an animal. Watching shows like Animal Cops & Animal Precinct both infuriate & sadden me.

Great photo, BTW. One of the calendars I have up in my house is called Paw Pals and each month has a picture of a puppy & a kitten together.

Wow, I'd never heard of that quote. Great choice!! :cool:

Cruelty is one fashion statement we can all do without. ~Rue McClanahan

I'm sickened! I was looking at the paper earlier and on the cover was a man who shot dogs and dumped them in the river. Thank heaven they caught him and he's going to jail, hopefully for along time.
And I like the Abe Lincoln/Rue McClanahan quote and pic. :)

That's horrible. :( People mistreat animals more than we know. I wish I could save them all.

Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

Albert Einstein

Every week is be kind to animals week for me. I think it's cool to celebrate these days, maybe give a little extra special attention to your animals this week, but I also think we should ALWAYS treat animals with the love that they deserve. Heck, I'm probably kinder to animals than I am to most people. lol!! Animals are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be sure to laugh at my dog....and to burp in my 2 cat's faces

nah i'm kidding- i would never do that...i love them...but almost saying being kind to animals, gives idiots in the world the idea to not be nice to them...

I know I'm nicer to animals than to people.

I know I'm nicer to animals than to people.

:lol: So Am I.

Both animal abuse and child abuse disgust me. People who make themselves feel big by hurting a defenseless child or animal are sick in the head.

Not to Hurt...

Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals)
Is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough.
We have a higher mission:
To be of service to them whenever they require it.




St Francis of Assisi Poems

I think we should practice that every week.

I def. think so

but yeah, good thing she's here :)

CAT'S EYES

Cats eyes black
Cats eyes green
Cats eyes wide open
for the whole wide world to see

Cats eyes open
Cats eyes bright
Cats eyes closed tight
for a little nap time
