Beyond Speciesism Written by Flavia Ursino Coleman and Friends.
“Spirituality equals non-selective compassion”
A Tale of Two Cats
My regal friend of mystery
She tells her tale through history
Of love and friendship, fear and foe
Her place in my heart she’ll always know
By end of Stone Age, she was by our side
Hunting mice with regal pride
For saving the food that we had stored
My little moggy became adored
Now we all know of Egyptian times
When to hurt or kill her was a crime
Worshiped as a Goddess throughout her life
Laid to rest with stores of mice, for her afterlife
In China and Asia she was believed magical
After all, who’d dare argue she not mystical?
Romans and Greeks had her domesticated
Her valuable companionship authenticated
By Middle Ages all was dim
Declared an agent of the devil, her life then grim
By papal orders almost eradicated
Burning her alive, the church vindicated
Excerpts from the book

>> Born To Be Wild
Wild animals born to be free
Building their nests high up in trees
Flying over and dwelling in seas
They do not belong in captivity

Pretty Bird <<
Oh pretty bird, how sweet you sound
Perched inside your metal surround
The wild as your home, you’ll never claim
But it matters not, having learned your name
You need not forage for days on end
And know not predators from which to defend
Your wings clipped so you’ll stay by my side
Warm and dry you’ll live inside
Oh pretty bird I must scurry away
We’ll talk some more some other day
How we treat the voiceless speaks loudest to who we are
Do you feel the burden of knowing the reality of animal exploitation with friends and family reluctant to watch footage which exposes the cruelty?
This great coffee table read may offer the perfect solution to give non-vegans.
