First sunset of 2015

Went for a nice walk this afternoon with my mom
a bad picture of a lovely canyon during sunset
in the neighborhood of Mission Hills, San Diego

Adiós 2014

2014 was a great year even if...
I got whooping cough, missed so much work
still, I am thankful to be alive and well
Enjoying the last minutes of the year
with my mom visiting and resting at home
with my 2 bestests friends ever, Herr Gato and Frau Kitty

Frau Kitty and Herr Gato waiting for 2015, and some treats, mostly the treats

having learned about compassion & love for animals.
I got a 'new' look for 2015 too...

Shorter hair for 2015 so I can be even lazier!

I don't believe in new year's resolutions, but if I'd have to
I would like to:
Speak more for the farmed animals we eat,
so people can understand their pain and stop using them & eating them
Sleep more! I don't sleep as much I need to
Be healthier
Read more books!

Adios 2014, you were a great year.
Welcome 2015!

It is Christmas

and we have a tiny Christmas tree
Frau Kitty is enjoying it

Frau Kitty and her Christmas table

I got to wear my Elf hat at work too!

Turkeys alive on Thanksgiving

Please learn the truth about turkeys and spare them for the holiday
they are wonderful birds!
Turkeys are so abused, millions die for this holiday, take a look, is horrific

Horse Races and Rodeos

Two protests today, horse races & bull riders,
what is this fixation with grown men
wanting to ride abused animals?
Both are millionaire industries too.
There is something very wrong with humans,
they don't questions themselves why?
They just do their abusing...
At the Del Mar Race track was so disappointing to
see all these cute women all dressed up with hats,
trying to be 'cool', how cool & hip is to
dress up to go see drugged abused horses dying on a race track?
Humans are just too close to see the cruelty of their ways.
Just question every thing you do,
every 'tradition' you will be amazed by your answers.

Protest at Del Mar Race Track

This 2014 Summer 16 Horses Died in 31 Racing Days!

Professional Bull Riders at Sports Arena, riding bulls is wrong!

Dog meat in the US

"A Los Angeles restaurant has been granted permission to consume and sell dog meat. A Filipino group successfully argued that the banning of the consumption of dog meat violated their religious rights."
http://www.thenewsnerd.com/local/american-restaurant-selling-dog-meat/

This is so terribly wrong, BUT is NOT much different than eating cows, pigs, and chickens... if you walk by China Town in LA you see a lot of lacquered ducks hanging this way, maybe this atrocity will show how cruel is to eat animals, not ONLY dogs, or cats, like the Chinese do.

WARNING!! Scary graphics of dogs looking just like lacquered ducks in Chinese restaurants, of course you don't mind seeing a roasted chicken, well, it is the same kind of graphic, but it is dogs, get used to see hanging dogs in LA, I guess? So you know...

In the Philippines today, there is an abundance of dog meat sold in restaurants and markets. The meat is as sold for as little as $1.30/kg. The trading and selling of dog-meat brings in nearly 3.8 million U.S. dollars per year, and nearly 500,000 dogs are killed for meat every year.

Cruelty-Free Halloween

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween
This cool cat is Against Animal Testing, Vivisection
and other horrors we do to animals on the name of 'science'
Please check the facts on Animal Testing
Most of the experiments done on animals
Do NOT translate OK to human testing

There are many cosmetics, personal care and household products
that test on animals, this is CRUEL and USELESS
Please check this list to buy products NOT Tested on Animals

Help the Animals, Do NOT Use Them, and Be a Cool Cat too

Is Not The Cat Who Needs His Head Examined

STOP ANIMAL TESTING!

Killing animals is finishing the planet

"Livestock species contribute directly and indirectly to deforestation, water pollution, air pollution, greenhouse gases, global warming, desertification, erosion and human obesity, and virtually anywhere you go in the world, the damage done by ruminants, pigs and poultry, and those who grow feed crops for them, is visible on the land. Dry and scrubby Greece, once a nation of woodlands, has gone to the goats. In Brazil, forests are falling before the advance of soybean fields, cultivated largely as beef fodder. In New Zealand, the banks of wild streams are frequently found trampled and muddied by grazers."
