“I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.”—Abraham Lincoln
All too often religion, which should direct the human spirit toward compassion for all beings, is used as an excuse for the brutal exploitation of animals. Today the human race causes more suffering than has been experienced in the entire accumulated history of the Earth! In factory farms alone, millions of feeling, sensitive, intelligent beings are condemned to an entire life of continuous living hell only ending in unimaginable horrible deaths. These huge factory farms also create a dangerous pollution problem for all God's Earth. The following sites may help with questions about your religion and animals. Hopefully they will help humans to become the truly compassionate beings we where meant to be.Home Gallery1 Gallery2 Gallery3 Contact Artist Animal Links Animal Quotes Animal Bereavement Purchase
