They have emotional lives, physical needs and drives, and rights to live with fullness and longevity we would hope for ourselves. If we do not understand and believe this, our killer worldview will destroy everything.”<br/><br/> - <em>Will Anderson, from his book “This Is Hope: Green Vegans and the New Human Ecology.”</em>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51160406658http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51160406658Thu, 23 May 2013 20:07:56 +0200carnismveganveganismgo veganfuck vegansvegetarianvegetarianismchangespeciesismspeciesfarmwildemotionsindividualkillerworldhuman<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e2f6e6482aea58a365071dc734c686b3/tumblr_mn9j4deFgZ1rpdwl9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><h1 class="headline"><strong><a href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2013-05-23/restaurants/how-undercover-animal-rights-activists-are-winning-the-ag-gag-war/" target="_blank">How Undercover Animal-Rights Activists Are Winning the “Ag Gag” War</a></strong></h1></p>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51159698477http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51159698477Thu, 23 May 2013 19:55:24 +0200animalanimalsanimal rightsveganveganismtruthjusticeag gagwar<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a917a27e5c739f2a4855cbd04d36dea1/tumblr_mlwbyda9MP1qkml81o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51159485536http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51159485536Thu, 23 May 2013 19:51:34 +0200<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/58e3badfa2edbfd304db0cc540885eb0/tumblr_mn9hssfhQa1rpdwl9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51158109463http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51158109463Thu, 23 May 2013 19:26:52 +0200fosterfoster dogpoemdog<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/36aad99858c9278d1bcce142c5674c4b/tumblr_mn9a3d51Al1rpdwl9o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><h1><strong><a href="http://www.cites.org/eng/news/pr/2013/20130523_un_lra.php" target="_blank">UN Secretary-General’s report on Central Africa links illegal ivory <br/>trade to the Lord’s Resistance Army</a></strong></h1> <h1><span> </span></h1> <h1><span>On 20 May 2013, the United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, presented his Report1 to the UN Security Council on the activities of the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa and on the Lord’s Resistance Army-affected areas.</span></h1> <h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper">The Report has identified the spread of cross-border criminal activities in the sub-region including poaching, mainly targeting elephants, as a growing security concern in Central Africa noting that Cameroon, the Central African Republic (CAR), Chad and Gabon in particular are facing this problem.</h5> <h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper"><span class="messageBody"><span class="text_exposed_show"><br/>In paragraph 9 of his Report the Secretary-General advised that:<br/><br/>“<strong>My Special Representative for Central Africa was also informed during consultations with national authorities and stakeholders in the sub-region that illegal ivory trade may currently constitute an important source of funding for armed groups, including the LRA.

We can’t jump or run very fast, and we can’t carry vast weights like an ant can. We can’t see in the dark and we can’t fly except crammed in a noisy tube like sardines, which doesn’t count. Humans compared to animals are almost totally deaf, and we can’t smell a fart in an elevator by their standards. We are finite and separate, and neurotic, while the consciousness of an animal is at peace and eternal. We strive and go crazy to become more important. Animals rest and sleep and enjoy the company of each other. We think we have evolved upwards from animals but we have lost almost all of their qualities and abilities. The idea that animals don’t have consciousness or that they don’t have a soul is rather crass. It shows a lack of consciousness. They talk, they have families, they feel things, they act individually or together to solve problems, they often care of their young as a tribal unit. They play, they travel, and medicate themselves when they get sick. They cry when others in the herd die, they know about us humans. Of course they have a soul, a very pristine one. We humans are only now attempting with the recent rise in consciousness to achieve the soul that animals have naturally.”<br/><br/> - <em>Stuart Wilde </em>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144397873http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144397873Thu, 23 May 2013 14:36:08 +0200<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8ef8f2cb54aab75d1d5f8ee40aa91d97/tumblr_mn5oym1ueG1s2fzryo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144317610http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144317610Thu, 23 May 2013 14:33:58 +0200<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3e381fd0499de0d4e0b05e95e3d388f4/tumblr_mn6hsdYMlC1rjmpiyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144306554http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144306554Thu, 23 May 2013 14:33:39 +0200<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e437618e2747875ceb85d338f21ace49/tumblr_mn1vrztk8R1qf9tuno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144162746http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144162746Thu, 23 May 2013 14:29:44 +0200<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d4dad1c3b4a5ccbe9445a284348c5114/tumblr_mmzzitEEDj1r3gb3zo1_400.gif"/><br/><br/>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144127036http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144127036Thu, 23 May 2013 14:28:43 +0200<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/35c86ee51ae68a46946e4e1e1ac97e6c/tumblr_mn2o3rzHim1s9qc13o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144075111http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51144075111Thu, 23 May 2013 14:27:23 +0200<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ec50544aecfaf5ac4115fc05bc33a6c0/tumblr_mn389b2cq81r0n5y3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://animalgazing.tumblr.com/post/51143134896/puppy-bull-terrier-by-piotr-organa" target="_blank">animalgazing</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/organa/314985357/" title="Puppy Bull Terrier!" target="_blank">Puppy Bull Terrier!</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/organa/" target="_blank">Piotr Organa</a> </p> </blockquote>http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51143300782http://animalsandtrees.tumblr.com/post/51143300782Thu, 23 May 2013 14:05:36 +0200
