Bernard (Bernie) J. Coombs - Australia

Born - July 24th 1925 in Somerset, right down the South of England. Both Parents were strict Wesleyans, Father being a lay (no pay, He was an engineer) Preacher. In 1947, I moved to Australia.  After losing many pets over a long lifetime, I decided to really research the Holy Bible to find out the truth about what happened to all these other creatures that died – whether beloved Pets – or abused/tortured other creatures. It took me over twenty years. You can read the result on: http://www.all-creatures.org/ach

Beryl Furman - Kauniainen, Finland

I am an artist and an animal activist from Finland. I found the enormously vast information bank in www.all-creatures.org when I was looking for photos about chicken slaughter for one of my exhibitions. I thought that so much important work had been done for helping poor animals by creating these web sites, that I felt I had to thank the people who did it. So I came to know Frank Hoffman and found closeness to his thinking in many ways. That is why I want to support his and Mary Hoffman's most important work with my own presence.  See some of Beryl's Artwork.

John Gilheany - South Wales, UK

I became involved in Christian vegetarian campaigning in the early 1990s with a view to expanding the audience for insights which have been revealed in the handful of books by vegetarian clergy.

Lance Landall - Wellington, New Zealand

There's not a doubt in my mind that taking the life of any human or creature is a wrongful and abhorrent act; and that flesh food and dairy products are very injurious to our body. I therefore support Frank and Mary in their mission to educate people regarding: the abhorrentness of killing, and cruelty to either humans or creatures; the dangers of flesh food and dairy products. I also support their call for a world in which peace and unconditional love reign; and their call for a return to godly values, standards, principles and morals.

Marcela Lopez - Cairo, Egypt

I am originally from Venezuela and Argentina. I am a music teacher. I became vegetarian when I was 23 years old, I am 45 now. And I became vegan when I first visited the www.all-creatures.org web site and I found out about how bad dairy products can be.

Jenny Moxham - Monbulk, Victoria, Australia

Jenny Moxham is married, with four children, and has been a vegetarian since 1977 and a vegan since 1979. She became 'converted' to vegetarianism after being saddened to see a truck load of cattle bound for slaughter and shortly afterwards, discovering that meat wasn't required for a healthy diet.

Jenny is a prolific letter writer, several of which are on our web site, and a poet.  See: Poetry by Jenny Moxham

"To be kind is to be courageous
To be great is to be compassionate
To have love and reverence for all life including animals wild and domestic is to fully understand the purpose and divine nature of God"

Alexandra Raen - Leicester, UK

Even though born into a vegetarian Christian family, it was a real shock for me at the age of 16 when my whole family turned into meat-eaters on the "health" advice and insistence of our family’s GP. I wanted to refrain from meat-eating for the sake of compassion towards animals. It was very confusing and frustrating. My desperate cry to the Lord was answered. I became a member of Kindness Unlimited at the age of 36 and through them I was introduced to Frank and Mary’s website. My son, Roy, and I have been vegan now since the end of 2003, and neither of us have been sick a single day since, which is an added bonus.

Denise E. Stephens - Grainau, Germany

God gave me a gift.  He does not want me to just breathe air in and out. I am driven to use this gift of art.

There is no doubt in my mind what He wants me to do. To use my art to help all creatures. Animals, people, young and old, in the US and in other countries.

And I am finding my way there.

Thanks to Frank and Mary, a step in the right direction! See: Cartoons
