Kristal Parks is a truly amazing woman, and has done many remarkable things, including sacrificing her freedom for following her heart, which is always in the right place.  Her latest act of self-giving was nothing short of stunning.  When Ringling Bros came to Denver in 2004, Kristal conducted a water-only hunger strike inside a cage, beside a sign saying "ELEPHANTS LOVE FREEDOM TOO", until Ringling finally left town.  Day 13 was her lucky day.  See www.KristalParks.com, www.PachydermPower.org

Anthony Marr will be in Orlando on a book tour. He has

developed a theory that he calls Omniscientific Cosmology. He describes it as a scientific cosmological system that incorporates the biological and sociological sciences in addition to the conventional physical sciences in its construction, which makes it at once a new science-based philosophy capable of providing radically new answers to the ancient philosophical questions.

Animal Rights Whirlwind!

image loading...



Nearly 800 animal rights activists from throughout the U.S. and several other countries packed the Sheraton Premiere Hotel near the nation's capital on July 8-12, 2004 to map the movement's national strategy for the coming year.

image loading...


The Animal Rights 2004 National Conference featured more than 80 speakers from 60 groups representing every faction of the movement. They presented in 70 sessions, including keynote addresses, briefings on various forms of animal abuse, workshops on organizing and outreach skills, 'rap' sessions, and campaign reports.

and ...

If you don't know about the Compassion for Animals Road Expedition, get the skinny on the CARE TOUR, a seven-month project that covered 40 states. See and read about this amazing project in its new website HOPE-CARE.org which contains 2,500 digital images of the tour and the hundreds of participating activists, as well as excerpts from the field journals of CARE campaigners Anthony Marr and Brenda Davis.

*Those with dial-up internet connections, be aware: the images on the site are HUGE and take quite a while to load in, but it's worth it!

This excerpt is from April 2004:

"2004-04-03-6 (In RV in the driveway of Mike and Gina Myers in Talent (near Ashland), OR, 168398 km. Our drive from San Francisco to here was by I-5 and uneventful. We arrived at the Meyers' about as expected, and were warmly received.

I gave my tiger slideshow at the local library of Ashland. Only 4 people came, "Ah well," thought I, "we're winding up the tour. So, what the hell." And I gave a hearty presentation to the four, one of whom being Mike Meyers, our giant of a host who dwarfs even the 6-foot-plus Cory.

Upon our return, we found Janette, PETA's second in command, there visiting. We socialized for awhile. After that, Cory and I went playing chess in the RV. In mid-game, Mike came knocking, and we invited him to sit down on my bed. He quite casually made an offering I found hard to believe, but even harder to refuse. US $100,000 for my next trip to India, on the condition that he goes as a volunteer as well. He stuck out his hand, and I had to ask more than once, "Are you serious?" His hand did not waver, so I took it and shook it. Cory just sat there dumbfounded. Mike shook his hand too. I welcomed Cory to come to India as well. He did not say yes or no, at least not at the moment. So, the CARE tour is ending not with a whimper, but with a bang."

Anthony Marr and CARE campaigner Cory Davis both spoke at the AR 2004 conference just a couple of weeks ago.

These people are really putting themselves and animal rights out there and we're proud to introduce their efforts to you!

AM, 60, and Cory, 16, did have the 6 in common, and had lots fun.  AM coached Cory in chess, and won every game in the beginning, but towards the end of the tour, Cory got back a few.
