Today
Posted in Thoughts with tags activist, animal, art, blog, blogging, free, gratitude, hope, life, loss, mother earth, namibian seals, nature, painting, right, seal on July 1, 2012 by allisonlabineBe happy for every moment you are alive, for every moment you are well, for every moment you are free. For in every corner of the world, there is suffering.
Today marks the start of the Namibian seal slaughter – 85,000 pups killed over the next 3 months for their fur. Maybe next year things will change. Thank you to those who tried, who always try to do what is right, especially against great odds.
