(yep, that's my status and i am sticking to it...until i drop!)

breeders and hunters and meat-eaters are all over facebook...therefore so should those of us who do NOT believe in killing animals and in flaunting weapons ... be all over facebook, suggesting alternatives to brutal murder.



LOVE IS THE ANSWER...LET US SHARE EMPATHETIC CONCERN AND ENCOURAGE EVERY EFFORT NECESSARY TO ALLEVIATE SUFFERING AND TO EDUCATE AND TO EVOLVE! NOKILLNATION AND NO EXCEPTIONS!

thanks to those of you who share these lives hanging in the balance. and for reminding us that animals have the RIGHT to live.

love this post in my facebook fan group by wonderful Bj Bobbi Jo Rucker...

If I may, I just wanted to share about a wonderful little book about a pet quail that I found at the local library here in Columbia City. It is called That Quail, Robert.

I knew people on here are animal lovers like me, so thought some of you might enjoy this book. It is 127 pages long and good for all ages. It's a true story of a retired doctor and his wife who rescued an abandoned quail egg and hatched it. The little quail grows up living in their house bringing loads of joy to others. So heartwarming! A good read for animal lovers since we have the ability to feel...and be warmed by wildlife/pets.



If you live in Columbia City, I currently have the book checked out so my daughters can read it too. So check back at the library soon.

I just want for others to know that poultry are not just birds; they are animals with emotions and their own set of personality traits like cats and dogs. I've had poultry off and on all of my life and have seen them be real tame.

dearly love Bj...i taught that book to my junior high kids and freshmen back in the sixties and seventies...even way back then i tried my damnedest to spread the word on animal rights and welfare. thanks, Bj...you made my day! and my mom had recommended that i teach it...therefore lots of copies should still be in lots of homes. only had one ornery student who refused to love that wonderful little book and tossed it into the wastebasket??? wonder where he is today? ;)

NOKILLNATION AND NO EXCEPTIONS!' Much respect and appreciation!!...I love your Mom and all she stands for and fights for! She is awesome!"

never would have dreamed that advocating NOKILL across the board would take so much guts...seems really kind rather than evil? wow? now, when we stop to THINK about it, the opposite of NOKILL would be KILL! put a checkmark on one or the other. NOKILL NATION is the preference of more and more of us by the second. (here's another smart word: EVOLUTION!) signed: braveheart! ;)
