Purpose

Hey guys, I've just created this blog and I'd like to share with you my motives and purpose for it, and my hopes for what I might have the power to do. Plus a little about me :). I have been a dedicated Animal Rights Activist and Vegetarian for about 5 years. I'm an actice member of PETA2, I've volunteered at animal shelters, my local ASPCA, and I currently volunteer at E.P.O.N.A. (Equine Protection of North America.) Epona Horse Rescue is an organization based on the premise that all equine and other animals should live free from cruelty, neglect and abuse.* I urge you all to help this organization in whatever way you can.

According to the United Nations, raising animals for food generates more greenhouse-gas emissions than all the cars, planes, ships, trucks, and trains in the world combined.** MEAT'S NOT GREEN. To learn all the facts and to sign a petition to get all meat labeled with a warning that clearly states that meat is the number one cause of global warming, head on over to:

This is it for now, more facts to come at a later time. I know this post wasn't entirely informative or interesting, but be assured there will be more to come. I plan on extensively researching the meat industry, the way they treat animals, how veg*nism helps the planet, etc. For any ideas, suggestions, comments, contributions, etc. send me an e-mail or leave me a comment. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to read this, and I sincerely hope you will continue to read.
