Hearing about the experiences of people working at the slaughterhouses is really moving. Thanks for sharing this, Wayne.

It's amazing the way you keep doing all the advocacy even in there. You're awesome ❤️ it might also be a great relief from your own situation.. I know someone who thaugh their fellow prisoners meditation. He also changed it from within..many followed. People need love to guide them. If they don't know it, they need to see someone who does.. We are all lost souls swimming in the fish bowl as pink Floyd sings in wish you were here. Good luck on your sentencing this week Wayne! 🍀❤️🙏🏻 may there be some miracles for yourself to, you wonderful man.

Both points make a lot of sense to me. It was seeing how animals were treated in the food and science industries in The Animals Film in the early 80s that turned me into a vegan. Simply lost the taste for meat. I bet that happens to a lot of people who've worked in slaughterhouses, and who themselves are confined.

Dear Wayne: Years ago I was called for jury duty to Supreme Court, Queens County. It was a criminal case. I did not want to serve on a jury as I had plans for a vacation pending.

Jury selection and the Judge: After hearing what other jurors had to say who didn't want to be selected, when it came to my turn, here's what I told the Judge something like this (as far as I can remember): "I don't believe the legal system is about justice because the system accommodates the law to serve the interests of those in power." The Judge: "But can you follow my instructions?" I replied, "I go by my beliefs." The Judge: "Excused!"

This is very positive to hear that some convicts are sympathetic towards the suffering of animals as they have seen firsthand the cruelty endured by sentient beings.

Your posts are so inspiring! Thank goodness you are being released! I haven't been able to keep up as much as I would like due to some heavy duty circumstances on my end, but you are wished many, many good wishes.. positive thoughts and continued strength and stamina from spiritual beliefs, friends, family and the animal rights family.
