We just LOVE the Stafford Animal Shelter! We can tell you from experience that pets from the Stafford are happy, healthy, and litter box trained...
it's hard to imagine why any of them ended up in a shelter. Here are our Stafford kitties, past and present:
Poppy, our very first Stafford cat!
Sweet little Toots, we miss her so!
Our beloved Bernie . . .
we will never forget him.
Uno Purrbody, boss of the house.
Bob and Charlie, special-needs cuties!
Sly, our most recent gem!
We used to foster every Holiday Season, but we've been cut off!
We just can't handle any more at the moment....
Look at this darling video, we just can't believe how cute this is . . . Herbie with a ball!
Last fall there was an article in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle that so upset Parke,
that he asked me to laminate it and post it in our window. Here is a link to that article: Egg Hatchery Investigation.
Most people have no idea how amazingly cruel the egg industry is.... but thanks to Mercy for Animals,
more people can make more informed food choices today, and truly live their values of compassion.
Marketing terms like 'free range', 'humane', and 'organic' are very popular right now. Don't fall for it.
"The movement toward 'humanely raised food animals' assuages our guilt
more than it actually reduces animal suffering.
When we tell ourselves we’re eating meat from “humanely raised animals,”
we’re leaving out a huge part of the equation.
The slaughtering of an animal is a bloody and violent act:
Death does not come easy for those who want to live." - Colleen Patrick Goudreau
DANCE PARTY!
Happy Earth Day!
Do you REALLYwant to be Green? It’s easier than you thought!
DID YOU KNOW... The meat industry is the most ecologically destructive industry on earth.
The raising, shipping, and slaughtering of animals damages vast areas of land, pollutes huge quantities of water, and is a greater contributor to greenhouse gas emissions than the automobile industry!
In the US: 90% of all soy crops, 80% of all corn, 70% of all grains, 80 % of all agricultural land, 50% of all water resources, and 35% of all fossil fuels are used to raise animals for food.
World Wide
Livestock and Meat Production cause: 55% of all land erosion, 33% of all water pollution,
uses 37 % of all pesticides,
and 50% of all antibiotics.
It takes 16 pounds of grain and 5000 gallons of water to produce only ONE POUND of meat.
You can actually save more water by not eating ONE pound of beef than you would by not showering for an entire year!
Whether the animals are raised conventionally, or are labeled
“Natural”, “Organic”, “Free Range”, “Grass Fed”, or “Cage Free”, The Process of turning Living Animals into isolated Body Parts and chunks of flesh
is the most destructive industry on earth.
One Person CAN make a difference! Every year, a vegan saves 94 lives, 1 acre of trees, and 320,000 gallons of water.
For your Health, the Planet, and the Polar Bears, All you have to do is Eat your Veggies!
