SeaWorld set the slaves free!

I have been to so many anti-SeaWorld protests I have lost count...
Also to the beautiful "Light Brigades"
where we form words with led lights letters
to be held on freeway overpasses!
I love this form of activism!
my dear friend Ellen Ericksen is the organizer
I help her getting the materials and posters there
we arrive about 1 hr earlier than other activists
and listen to the quiet streets, I always wonder if
I would listen to the cry of help coming from the
captive orcas, dolphins, penguins, sea lions, and other prisoners.

I prefer to speak for Dolphins and Sea Lions, as everybody else focuses on orcas

Me, wearing some strange sunglasses, and my dear friend Mary Peifer

San Diego Light Brigade, a beautiful and great form of activism!

Committed activists outside SeaWorld San Diego demanding Animal Liberation!

My first Light Brigade encouraging people to watch Black Fish I was the #4!

Imagine my joy and gratitude

when I saw beloved Morrissey's band wearing SeaWorld Sucks
t-shirts at his magnificent sold-out-instantly concert this past
August 20, 2015 in San Diego.

Thank you beautiful Morrissey and your band for speaking against SeaWorld!

Thank you Morrissey and your band, for always speaking for animals!
Now my heart is fuller knowing the animals
have your wit, your pen, and your heart on their side.

Now My Heart is Full from the night I saw beautiful Morrissey in San Diego.
I have two big wishes, to see all the animals free and to see again one day
this talented big-hearted beautiful man sing live again!

Save Water, Eat Plants!

I am proud and thankful to be part of the Truth or Drought team
I design many of the graphics, the leaflets and lawn signs

lawn sign design, so many people in California got our signs!

I am so humbled and thankful for all the people displaying our lawn sing on the front yards!

I do this as a volunteer on my free time,

not that I have much as I work full time as a graphic designer

but since I became an activist for the animals

I truly enjoy working on graphics or talking to people

about not eating animals, or using them on any abusive way

or going to protests...

just as the other members or Truth or Drought
we all volunteer our 'free' time...
we are a small group (mainly 3 people, lately 2 others are helping too)
we created this group to open people's eyes
to the fact that animal agriculture is causing the
devastating water shortages in California (and the planet)
All of our research is fully sourced by scientific research!
Here the latest graphic I created under Lorelei Plotczyk's supervision
and her superb research work. She writes and researches all the
graphics for T or D. I only make them a visual reality.

It is plain and simple: We (the entire planet) are running out of water. Animal agriculture uses a LOT of water and creates all sort of environmental problems, and needless cruelty & suffering, for both animals & humans. We can eat the plant protein directly and save water, stop the suffering, and heal our planet. Nowadays you can find vegan hamburgers in every supermarket, they taste better than the 'real' thing too and are healthier, you can find chicken-less chicken, all sorts of non-dairy cheeses, you can find cow milk substitutes (or make your own), you can find vegan cakes, cupcakes, donuts, pies, pancakes, etc. etc. etc. So if you eat animals is only because you are OK with violence, cruelty and destroying the planet, see?

Rescue dogs in 9/11

I have just arrived to the USA in late 2000

from hectic violent Mexico City which was MY city

but a man showed me a gun once and the city

was just getting impossible to live in...

San Diego appeared to me as a paradise beach city

quiet, calm, and for once, I worked just 2 blocks from

the apartment I was renting, very close to Balboa Park

I was very lucky and found a position as Creative Director

at the San Diego Blood Bank, at first, I didn't

appreciate the job... working at a non-profit

helping 'save lives', how arrogant I was...

but then it came the saddest morning of any September,

the TV was on while I was getting ready to go to work

the news this time, instead of cartoons, or and old b&w film...

I heard about a plane crash... nobody knew what happened

why a plane crashed into one of the twin towers?

and live I saw it... another plane crashed too!!

now, we know this is not an accident, is not a coincidence...

it is extreme violence and hate at its worst...

I ran to the Blood Bank, by the time I got there,

barely 20 minutes after the attack,

my boss at the community relations dept had issued

a press conference, calling all San Diego blood donors

to give blood in order to help the victims in New York City...

I will never forget the lines of donors surrounding the

building to help, for weeks, donor kept coming.
Strange how the worst in humanity,
woke up the best in humanity, strange twisted species we are

The San Diego Blood Bank was the 1st blood bank to

help the victims of NYC...

And today, I remember all those dogs what we barely saw

on TV or read about, the most selfless species and the closest

to us cruel humans, here this wonderful article and 

picture of real heroes, the ones that only get paid with a pet

a smile and love, selfless tender creatures
today I write and remember the rescue dogs of 9/11.

Bretagne, Last Known Living 9/11 Search & Rescue Dog Honored With Dream Day

I am sure she wasn't afraid, as dogs are pure love and will do anything to help!

Heroes on four legs, with fur and tails

Peace, peace love, love.
Never war, never murder.

Please humans stop killing each other.
Please stop eating the animals!

Let's all species of this planet unite and help each other.

Not kill and eat each other.

Donuts and LPs

Today is a good Friday!
I am going to Moncai vegan tonight
and will get donuts! 
[a vegan donut, because why have a cruel donut, when you can have a kind donut?]
And I will be buying the new Low LP Ones and Sixes
From a local record store Off The Record or M-Theory
[support your local records stores, they are disappearing!]

Low's new album: Ones and Sixes

'Sample' song: What Part of Me?

What part of me don't you know? What part of me don't you own?

Why have a cruel donut when you can have a vegan donut?! Thank you @moncaivegancafe #vegan #crueltyfree #donuts

Literary Gato Strikes Again: Morrissey

Herr Gato has a great taste in books!
He picks distinguished yet unusual authors
His latest choice is Morrissey's Autobiography.
A superb read where the iconic singer
and brilliant, compassionate man
writes with no rules and complete honesty,
as he lives his live: no chapters, no index,
strangely and deliciously long paragraphs
that begin making you want to cry, laugh by the 3rd sentence
 and cry again. As artful as his songs!

Morrissey protects and speaks for animals, Herr Gato knows it and thanks Moz.

As have chronicled before, Herr Gato has chosen authors
such as Kate Chopin and her book The Awakening
and legendary Paul Bowles and his Let It Come Down
Herr Gato gas gone as far as reaching Furry Nirvana
with Buddhism classic Autobiography of a Yogi
by Paramhansa Yogananda.

Herr Gato likes feminists banned books, great!

Herr Gato loves dark bleak set in Morocco novel!

Reaching Nirvana, the furry way

Oh I love you my Herr Gato, who arrived from a dusty alley
to teach me with your superb literary choices,
yet no doubt, Morrissey's pick is the closest to my heart.

song song song

Life Without Buildings!
New Town!
Great band!
Great song!

Meat obsession, Milk obsession

"We are devastating our health, our planet...
with our suicidal obsession with animal protein."

"Animal agriculture, including dairy (and all dairy),
is destroying our planet."
Fight climate change, go vegan!

Del Mar Race Track is Death Track

Horse racing is a terrible and cruel industry.
Read the real story:
Horses used for racing weigh more than 1,000 pounds, yet they are supported by ankles the size of a human’s. In the U.S., horses are whipped and forced to run on tracks made of hard-packed dirt at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour while carrying people on their backs. They are pumped full of drugs intended to mask pain so that they keep running long after their stressed or injured bodies would tell them to stop. They are bought and sold to the highest bidder numerous times and carted from coast to coast, and half of them are eventually abandoned to slaughterhouses.
Please read more on this issue.

This past Sunday 3 activists and myself went to
 ‪#‎DelMarRaceTrack‬ to educate people
on the cruelty of this industry.

14 Horses Dead at Del Mar in 33 days of racing,
it was so hot there but the horses don't get a day off,
they run under the influence of drugs, beaten.
How is this a sport?

We have as many protests and outreach through
the racing season. Do you want to help?
Share the information on the cruelty of horse racing.
And do NOT participate on any events that involve
animal cruelty or using animals for entertainment!

"Horse being euthanize on the track. The curtain is erected so the spectators don't have to suffer"

A prior protest/outreach this month at Del Mar Race Track

Morrissey in San Diego / Meat is Murder

I finally saw live one of my favorite singers of all times!
Morrissey, who doesn't eat animals
who is against animal abuse
who is against human abuse
who is against policy brutality
and excesses of life, a truly compassionate
and highly original man from Manchester.
as he says:
"Nobody can be that hungry as to take away
the life of an animal who wants to live!"

More coming soon but for now
Meat Is Murder #MeatIsMurder
What Is Your Excuse Now? #GoVegan
 
this beautiful creature must die
a death for no reason
and death for no reason is MURDER
and the flesh you so fancifully fry
is not succulent, tasty or nice
it is death for no reason
and death for no reason is MURDER
