Wayne as usual an eloquent dissertation on the sauses of suffering for both animals and humans. I'm glad you strike a hopeful note about not giving up. I am grateful for people like you for always being a warrior for the animals-a peaceable warrior. I for one am so disgusted with humans and the state of things that I struggle to maintain hope. I rely of the good-hearted humans to at least temporarily restore my faith.

I have long given up on humans. It's all about animals. Animals. Humans should know better. They don't. I'm a vegan but I don't wear it on my sleeve. The humans who shun eating animals and exploiting them get my concern for their welfare. We can only watch catastrophes happen and act on a local basis.

Don't give up! Watch the video of the woman saving a Koala from wildfire, and it'll renew your faith!

Wayne I had similar thoughts about the animals and the “detention camps.”

Wayne you have lost your focus!

Last month it was Trump and hunting..this month it is man and war!

The ANIMALS are the point...

the only point!

Could be you need some help because you are fighting a

VERY CRUEL BUSINESS

and it can drive you crazy!

Especially if you are fully involved on a daily basis.

Good luck to you and we need you and more like you.

My best, Jim Gatten

Lately I'm thinking there's a massive Stockholm syndrome in effect, in which we might keep up a 'core story' so as not to draw attention from the mean intentioned promoters of a profitable machine technics by seeking to debunk its explanatory premises. But it is out in the open as to what the hell is going on with it all-- https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/discussion-with-shannon-joy-about .

We have to tell these stories. I just wish people were more open to hearing them.
