this is something i want you to read.
you being everyone.
this struck me, will it you?
(background info: blue is the name of a white horse)
"And so blue remained, a beautiful part of our landscape, very peaceful to look at from the window, white against the green grass. Once a friend came to visit and said, looking at the soothing view: 'And it would be a white horse; the very image of freedom.' And I thought, yes, how these animals have become merely "images" of what they once so beautifully expressed."

--->I think, that there are those who never once have even considered animals' rights: those who have been taught that animals like to be used and abused by us... but there once was a more majestic time for them. a time when horses were free to run vast lands, not cooped up- a time where bulls were animals with confidence, integrity, and dominance, not dominated as entertainment or abused for the empty feeling of power... i don't know.. (the above) was just an excerpt that really saddened me. I wish more people cared. I wish more people actually took time to think...

"They (animals) are in fact completed creations (at least they seem to be so much more than we) who are not likely to change; it is their nature to express themsleves. What else are they going to express? and they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored."

my advise:
become aware. of all you can. <3lucy
