Colorado Critters

“Is not the sky a father and the earth a mother, and are not all living things with feet or wings or roots their children? Hear me, four quarters of the world…a relative I am! Give me the strength to walk the soft Earth, a relative to all that is,…all over the Earth, the faces of living things are all alike.”—John G. Neihardt in Black Elk Speaks

"An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language." ---Martin Buber


The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That's the essence of inhumanity. --George Bernard Shaw


"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being." ---Abraham Lincoln


"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." --Mohandas Gandhi

"I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me." ---Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth



I'll be visiting family for the next few weeks....will comment and post when I have the time. Happy weekend, everyone!
