Is No Kill More Difficult In Big Cities? « No-Kill Communities - 0 views

  • In this post, I look at the statistics and come to the conclusion that the answer to the question “Is no kill more difficult in big cities” is “no.”
  • So why do we keep hearing people say that no kill is a small-town phenomenon that cannot succeed in big cities?
  • I could just as easily come up with a list of factors that could make no kill easier in big cities

  • Big cities have a concentrated population from which to draw volunteers, fosters, and donors, and they also have ready availability of expertise in areas such as marketing and grant proposals.
  • What does correlate with no kill success? No-kill leadership at the shelter.
  • We need to focus on regime change, not on distractions like population size.
  • if we could magically replace every old-fashioned shelter director in the US today with a director who supports no kill and has the ability to implement the No Kill Equation, then we could be a no-kill nation by the end of this year.
  • the impediment was Washoe County’s regressive director
  • One point which needs to be added is that larger cities not only have more resources to draw from, they tend to have lower per capita intake rates.

History of Vegetarianism - Albert Einstein (1879-1955) - 0 views

  • A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security. - New York Post, 28 November 1972
  • "Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from that of their social environment. "
  • "It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man."

On Human-Nonhuman Relations: The Search for Veganism - 0 views

  • Veganism, however, is a principle — that man has no right to exploit the creatures for his own ends — and no variation occurs. Vegan diet is therefore derived entirely from "fruits, nuts, vegetables, grains and other wholesome non-animal products," and excludes "flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey and animal milk and its derivatives."
  • In a vegan world the creatures would be reintegrated within the balance and sanity of nature as she is in herself. A great and historic wrong, whose effect upon the course of evolution must have been stupendous, would be righted. The idea that his fellow creatures might be used by man for self-interested purposes would be so alien to human thought as to be almost unthinkable. In this light, veganism is not so much welfare as liberation, for the creatures and for the mind and heart of man; not so much an effort to snake the present relationship bearable, as an uncompromising recognition that because it is in the main one of master and slave, it has to be abolished before something better and finer can be built. Veganism is in truth an affirmation that where love is, exploitation vanishes.
