From Denise - 18 November 2007

I just looked at the pictures of the pigs in the living hell they have to endure for us wretched humans. These photos are so terribly painful to look at. I have recently become a vegetarian and sometimes it's very hard, until I see photos like this.

How do we get these atrocities out there for the public to see? Can't we start some kind of campaign to get this stuff on national TV so that everyone can know what is going on?

The only kind of comfort I can seem to have is that at least their poor lives aren't going on as long as their life-spans could allow.

I live in South Dakota where there aren't a whole lot of vegetarian choices. To talk to others about this who don't know and "don't want to know" makes me feel so alone in this incredible pain I am experiencing for the animals. How do I live with this knowledge of the suffering of the animals?

Deeply saddened,

Denise

Dear Denise:

Thank you very much for your compassionate heart and email.

It is hard for caring people to live with the knowledge, particularly when faced with so many hard of heart people. All we can do is keep trying to spread the word everywhere we can and to write letters to the editor. The media problem is one of advertising dollars. They don't want to take a chance of losing an advertiser because they showed some material that was detrimental to their products.

We also live in a rural area, where very few people are vegetarian (vegan), but everything you need can be found in major supermarkets. Also see www.all-creatures.org/recipes.html

We look forward to hearing from you again.

In the Love of the Lord,

Frank and Mary
