Very beautifully written, as always(; I love and hate there is a term for taking over animals' homes, "redecorating nature," although it is terrible it even has to be.

Growing up in Ohio, for 20 years of my life, it is evident the destruction on deers' homes. Now, the hunters are out in full force, pleading there are plenty of 'um b/c they are all over! More like they are trying to find somewhere to call home. I have been out of OH for 11 yrs, and will be truly devastated to see the land lost in person.

This hit me in the right spot, "No one should be an apologist for passion and no one should be ashamed or shamed for feeling."
Thank you for that(; I will think that everytime I want to bite my tongue. Too often I have held myself back. I will no longer. Of course, I will work on getting my point across.

Very well said. I feel like it falls foremost upon the religions of the world to step up and bring an end our barbarism towards the innocents.

PETA sees the wisdom in mobilizing the relioions as well. This link is to a PETA site that leads to a wealth of literature related to animal spirituality.
