Butterfly Kisses
By EnglandGal@aol.com
On
September 11th I woke to a phone call from my father in England telling me
about the disaster that hit this beautiful country called America, a country I
am proud to be living in and one that I call my home.
The day before my vacation, I had taken the day off to do some last minute
chores as I prepared for my flight to Baltimore to assist The Animals'
Agenda magazine in their office for six days, as well as attend a two day
conference in Virginia at United Poultry Concerns.
Needless to say my flight never left the ground.
I had to make a decision as to whether I was going to continue my vacation or
go back to work and take it at a later date. I felt too emotional and
distraught at the horrific news as I watched endless hours of CNN, listened to
radio broadcasts, and witnessed sad and numb expressions on the faces of
friends and strangers, slowly driving me further into this sad and sorry
condition I was in.
The sunny skies of Florida soon turned into gray skies with heavy rain and
windstorms that followed. It was as if the earth was mourning, and the
sky was sobbing at the needless and horrendous loss of innocent lives.
A few days later the gray skies turned back to blue and I wanted to do
something on this earth to remember the tragic loss of life, so I created my own
memorial site in my back yard, a butterfly garden. It was a cheerful
project, and a way to cope and distract myself from hours of being glued to the
television, feeling hopeless and helpless as the tragedy turned more and more
into a living nightmare.
Should you feel inspired to make a Butterfly Garden of your own, I would
suggest getting most, if not all, of the following supplies:
* Bird Bath
* Small fish pond (but NO fish)!
* Three to five stepping stones
* Gravel rocks
* White picket fence (12 inches or higher to keep curious "Fur Kids"
out).
* 3 to 5 Solar lights
* Bird feeders
* Windchimes
* Plant pots
* Decorative watering can
* Inspirational rocks (with sayings such as "love",
"inspiration", "memories", "tranquility",
"hope")
* Decorative small garden decorations
* Butterfly attracting plants (pentas, lantana, passionvine, milkweed)
* Ground cover (vines, ivy, or simply dried leaves or mulch).
This evening I sat and sipped tea by the butterfly garden, surrounded by my
'fur kids'. Although my thoughtful project will never bring back the lost
lives or heal the aching hearts of those that were left behind, it will always
be a place that I will gaze into and know that those innocent victims will
never be forgotten.

Don't Give Up
by Park StRanger@aol.com
During
the last week I almost gave up on the AR movement and the Vegan movement, I was
so stunned about the human condition, and I held so little hope for our goals
of a compassionate world.
I wondered why I was spending my time working for such pedestrian causes in the
face of such tragedy. Then I realized we have to go on in our beliefs, we
are part of the reformation of America and we can't be silent.
To be silent is to admit defeat.

Break the Cycle
by Professor Steve Best - sbest1@elp.rr.com
Like
all of you, I have watched the recent attacks unfold with grief and horror.
Like you, I have heard numerous soul-shaking accounts of survivors and victims
as I watched the spectacle of violence with horror. Needless to say, animal
rights activists do not rejoice in human suffering, rather we are moved by
suffering of any kind. With the big picture in mind, working for animal rights
furthers works toward human rights, as our work and lifestyle choices advances
the human moral conscience and protects the natural world.
I began my activism in the early 1980s as an undergraduate student at the
University of Illinois. In the midst of the Reagan era, the raging civil wars
throughout Central America, and the apartheid system in South Africa, I worked
fervently on various human rights campaigns. I organized events that raised
medical funds for the suffering people of Nicaragua and El Salvador,
volunteered to help house and protect refugees fleeing the terror in Central
America, participated in anti-apartheid actions, and chaired a committee in
solidarity with the Central American people. My activism on behalf of people
persisted until the late 1980s when, already a vegetarian, I read Peter
Singer’s Animal Liberation. This book rudely awakened me to the horrors
of animal suffering and changed my mind forever; I decided then and there to
help the most defenseless victims of violence, the nonhuman animals.
As with every other animal rights activist I know, this doesn’t preclude
compassion for human beings, it simply deepens the empathy that already existed
from a human rights perspective. The actions that resulted in the terrorist
attacks on the United States, and those long-standing policies that provoked
them, are rooted in violence. What animal rights people share in common with
the human rights community is a condemnation of violence. Ultimately, we are
working toward the same goal – an enlightened and compassionate world free of
suffering and violence, where all beings share the right to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Correction
Last
week, in our special edition covering the attack on our country, we recommended
that donations be given to the Red Cross. Since then, sharp-eyed
subscribers have reminded us that the Red Cross is listed as one of those
charities that support research on animals. We regret this oversight on
our part. For anyone who has already donated to the Red Cross, we suggest
that you send a follow-up letter, advising them that you want your donation
used for aid for the victims on this attack and not for any programs using
animals. This will not only redirect your donations, but will also send a
message to the Red Cross that you do not approve of their policy on animal
research. For those who have not donated to the Red Cross, the article
below will give you much better options for donations.

The Forgotten Victims
by Michelle Rivera - MichelleRivera1@aol.com
In the rush to assist those who may be buried
underneath the remains of the World Trade Center, rescuers have been unable to
turn their attentions to animals who had been left behind in evacuated
areas. Many of them were home alone when the attack took place, their
families all gone to work and school, so they were left in areas where their
families were not allowed to go for several days.
Animal rescue organizations in and around the New York City area responded by
mobilizing to the site so that they could be in the area the very moment the
police allowed guardians to run to their homes for a few minutes to collect a
few belongings, including companion animals. PeTA sent three vehicles to
assist in persuading Mayor Guiliani and the police and fire officials not to
add to the tragedy by allowing animals to die when their deaths are
preventable. Admittedly, the area was not safe for people to get in, and
the rescuers had their hands full with helping victims who still could be saved.
But Rue McLanahan, in a passionate plea to the office of the Mayor of New York
City, called on building superintendents to help animals whose families may not
be coming home, not only at ground zero, but in any areas where folks may
commute to the city to work.
"Supers are the ones who know who comes and goes. If someone hasn't been
back to their apartment, or if dogs who normally don't bark or whine start
doing so, please go in and give water and food and make a call on their
behalf," Ms. McClanahan says. "PETA and other groups have people
standing by to provide foster homes, and the dearly beloved animal members of
those who died must not become another part of the casualty toll. America is a
nation of caring people, and our compassion does not stop with our own
species."
As we hear stories of unbelievable courage and bravery coming from this
horrific event, no doubt the stories will also include stories of animals, both
tragic and heroic, and we should not let these stories go unnoticed. The
day the New York Stock Exchange re-opened, they allowed firefighters and police
officers to "ring the bell." Among these people was Officer
Linn, a canine officer who was buried beneath the rubble for five hours.
He was found and rescued, but not a word was mentioned about what had become of
his partner, a German Shepherd Dog who had been the resident bomb-sniffing dog
at the World Trade Center prior to the attack. Regrettably, the dog had
perished in the rubble but that his story was not told is affront to the
hundreds of search and rescue dogs who are risking their lives to help us find
survivors, remains and cadavers.
A guide dog led his blind guardian down 70 flights of stairs, despite having
been given a direct order to "go away." He and his guardian were
both saved because of this dog's bravery. A companion dog died when he
followed his guardian out a window five floors above the rubble.
We have all opened our hearts and wallets to help the victims of this
unspeakable tragedy, and we should continue to do so. However, the animal
organizations on the front lines are too busy rescuing dogs to be asking for
money. They don't have the Red Cross or the United Way to do it for
them. So we at Animal Rights Online are asking that animal rights
activists and animal welfare advocates come together united in a common cause,
to remember the animal victims of September 11, and that the organizations that
are helping them are most deserving of our support and our trust at this most
critical time.

Church Silence
Promotes Violence to humans, to animals, to our environment, to our economy, to
our education, to our finances, and to our health
By Mary T. and Frank L. Hoffman - flh@all-creatures.org
Terrorism
and the Church
Every time we hear of an act of terrorism, our heart skips a beat and we feel a
deep inner sorrow for the victims of the terrorism, most of all. However,
we also have a sense of sorrow for those who commit these acts, because of the
utter hardness of heart and depravity that would allow them to do such evil
things. The sorrow we felt over the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack on
four jumbo jet passenger planes, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was
debilitating, for it came on the heels of the sorrow we have been feeling over
the unimaginable suffering inflicted upon most of the animals that are raised
for their flesh, by-products, and body parts.
This tragedy is all part of our collective lack of compassion for our fellow
creatures, whether human or otherwise. The same kind of mentality that
takes joy in killing a deer, running a sword or spear into a bull, boiling a
live lobster or cat, running a factory farm, setting off a car bomb, also takes
pleasure in flying loaded passenger planes into buildings. And in the
midst of this, many Christians who are to be the peacemakers of this world, sit
at their church and home dinners munching on the remains of suffering creatures
while desiring to take revenge for such actions against humans. Many seem to
want revenge against people for violence inflicted against us, and from what
we've seen, some people want revenge against any Moslem, or people who look
like them or have similar accents. We have forgotten that vengeance belongs to
the Lord (Hebrews 10:30). Why aren't more churches decrying the abuse to
humans that is going on in many parts of the world every day? Why aren't
we speaking out against the abuse, and yes, terrorism, against billions of
animals in our own country? We believe that it's because we don't
personally feel the pain. When will the Church and the world learn that
all these evil acts are tied together and are opposed to God's desire for our
lives? When will we open our eyes and ears to the suffering around us and
to the increase of violence in almost every aspect of our society? When
will we begin speaking out with a commanding cry for peace and
compassion? When will we learn to live by our Biblical teachings in their
true context, and not in some distorted interpretation to try to justify our
evil acts? Think about what we are taught in the Beatitudes (Matthew
3-11):
3. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven."
If we are truly poor in spirit then we will also feel the pain and anguish of
every other living creature, whether human or non-human, and do something to
help eliminate their suffering.
4. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be
comforted."
We mourn over the loss of a loved one whether a human or a companion
animal, or for those caught in the tragedy of 11 September 2001, but those who
truly mourn, also mourn over the pain of every human and animal, and do
something to comfort them.
5. "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the
earth."
There is no gentleness in hunting, factory farming, or in acts of
terrorism, and we are to be the gentle ones to set the example for the whole
world.
6. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied."
If we truly hunger and thirst for righteousness, then we will take a
stand against all evil forces in our society, and no longer accept those
corrupt things that give us personal, short term, satisfaction.
7. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive
mercy."
If we are not merciful to the whole of God's creation, how can we
expect to receive mercy for ourselves? The simple answer is, we can't !
8. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see
God."
If we are pure in heart, then we will not participate (directly or
indirectly) in any act of violence that is inflicted upon any human, animal, or
the environment.
9. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons
[children] of God."
The apostle Paul tells us that the whole of creation anxiously awaits
the revealing of the children of God to eliminate its suffering (Romans
8:18-25). Based on the amount of suffering in this world, there seem to
be very few peacemakers, and thus very few children of God.
10. "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of
righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
We hear of very little persecution of this type, because it is far
easier to close our eyes and ears to the evil around us and to keep quiet, than
it is to go against the "norm" of society that promotes violence.
11. "Blessed are you when men cast insults at you, and persecute
you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of Me."
If we aren't experiencing these things, then we are probably not doing
much to promote the peaceful kingdom of God, and thus evil and violence
flourish in the world.
If the Church all over the world began to live by these principles, we would
indeed change the world, and eliminate the violence around us. We should
be making people who participate in violent activities (directly or indirectly)
to feel uncomfortable about what they are doing, until they no longer do such
things. It's time for us to stand up, speak out, and be counted as true
peacemakers.

What Do We Tell Our Children?
Thoughts from the Rev. Meg
Riley
Director, UUA Washington Office
https://www.uua.org/news/91101/mriley.html
September 11, 2001
What
do we tell our children?
We listen. We hold them. We tell them, "I love you." "Love is
forever."
If they are very young, pre-school aged, tell them, "Parents and teachers
keep children safe."
Listen. Hold them. Tell them, "I love you." "Love is
forever."
If they are old enough to be aware that this happened, but not really to
understand the specifics of what happened, ask them, "What do you think?
How does your body feel?" Then listen to their specific feelings and
reassure them. Don't answer questions they don't ask, but do listen for the
questions behind the questions. They may want to be reassured that there are
grownups who love them and will take care of them, no matter what. Tell them,
"Let's not watch TV tonight; let's go to church and be with our
people!"
Listen. Hold them. Tell them, "I love you." "Love is
forever."
If they are old enough to understand the facts of what happened, and want to
process why it happened, tell them that sometimes horrible things happen. Tell
them that, while every person is inherently good, sometimes people get angry
enough and scared enough to do very mean things that hurt other people. Tell
them that we don't know yet who did this, and that it is important to respect
all people while we take the time to figure it out. Tell them that a small
group of individuals did this-not a religion, not a country, not a person who
looks a particular way or has a particular kind of name. Tell them about a time
when you were a child and you were afraid because of something scary that
happened-the Cuban Missile Crisis, Three Mile Island, another tragedy. Ask them
how they feel about what happened, and what they are wondering.
Listen. Hold them. Tell them, "I love you." "Love is
forever."
If they know someone who lost parents or other loved ones in the tragedies,
talk about what it means to support a friend. Remind them not to gossip, but to
speak directly to their friend or acquaintance and acknowledge the loss.
Listen. Hold them. Tell them, "I love you." "Love is forever."
If they go in their room and slam the door and talk on the phone to their
friends, if they say "It's no big deal. Why does everybody want to talk
about this. We already talked about it all day at school" slip a note
under their door.
Tell them, I am going to church now to be with people whom I love and trust. I
wish you would come with me. I want to listen. I want to hold you. I want you
to know I love you. I love you forever.
As parents, we want nothing more than to protect our children from pain, from
fear, from harm. As parents, we know nothing is more impossible. How we handle
our own grief and integrity will speak volumes to our children about how to be
a human being in a troubled, broken, world. May we be worthy of this most
sacred charge that has been given to us. Forever.

Paws in the Dust
by Jodie Morse
(Time Magazine)
There
are no tidy rules for working through grief. Dr. Larry Hawk, whose sister Kathy
Nicosia was a flight attendant aboard American Airlines Flight 11, grieved
through working. In the days following the crashes, Hawk manned one of the
hundreds of triage units along Manhattan's West Side Highway. But his unit was
unique. It was equipped with miniature IV bags, water bowls and dog food to
rescue
and revive the thousands of pets stranded in crumbling and evacuated buildings
in lower Manhattan.
The president and CEO of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, Hawk quickly mobilized a team of veterinarians, police officers and
pet psychologists to escort pet owners through the dead zone to their former
apartments. Wearing a green A.S.P.C.A. T-shirt over his plaid shirt and chinos,
Hawk listened to their stories and calmly vowed to help.
He was on hand to reunite Leslie Long and Doug Murray with their two cats,
which had survived for 48 hours on little more than toilet water. Their
apartment was coated with several inches of filth, with only a trail of paw
prints peeking through the dust.
Hawk also worried about the welfare of the police dogs sifting through the
rubble. Many of their paws were torn on jagged wreckage, and rescuers had begun
wrapping their legs in flimsy burlap. Hawk and his colleagues started a collection
drive for protective doggie booties. In a week like this, some might find it
strangely incidental to pay so much attention to pets.
Hawk disagreed. "I spend my life teaching humane principles. If we learn
how to be more humane to animals, we hope it will rub off on people," Hawk
said. He paused.
"What happened to my sister was very inhumane.

Justice Will Be Done (George W.
Bush)
by Robert Cohen - i4crob@earthlink.net
http://www.notmilk.com
Dear
Friends,
Last night [9/20/01], the President of the United States delivered, in my
opinion, the
greatest speech in American history. During that speech, George Bush said
four things that were beautifully written, eloquently delivered, and should
inspire us all into doing deeds that are consistent with acts representing a
moral and ethical nation and people.
"We're in a fight for our principles, and our first responsibility is to
live by them."
"This is the world's fight. This is civilization's fight. This is the
fight of all who believe in progress and pluralism, tolerance and
freedom."
"These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion."
Should not these words of wisdom act to inspire us in everything that we do?
What follows might seem trivial when compared to the events of the past ten
days, but it is not. All events are connected to that same universal wisdom
governing the actions of all men and women.
A few weeks ago, I reported that one nation on this planet kidnaps children by
raiding other nations who are unable to defend themselves. These children are
then taken to plantations where they live in slavery.
The nation of evil is the Ivory Coast.
The plantations grow cocoa beans which are processed into chocolate.
We must take responsibility for continuing slavery if we support companies like
Hershey who buy beans from Ivory Coast.
We must respectfully ask companies who abhor this practice to publicly state
that they will no longer buy beans from any nation which relies upon enslaving
children.
These are not sweat shops. This is not child labor. This is not a symbolic form
of slavery. This is the real thing.
If just one company comes forward to condemn the practice in a written
statement,
we can use that press release or Internet site post to pressure other companies
into doing the right thing.
George Bush warned the nations of the world that if they were not part of the
solution, they are part of the problem. He said:
"Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are
with us, or you are with the terrorists."
The same logic and philosophy must be applied to companies refusing to do the
right thing and end slavery.
Many hundreds of people reading my letters have called or written to WHITE
WAVE, the manufacturer of SILK chocolate milk, asking them to do the right
thing.
Their continued refusal to do so is puzzling.
Today, SILK is acting like the nation that President Bush refers to as being
either with us, or against us.
Tomorrow SILK can become heroic by joining coalition of companies demanding
that all of the world's peoples live in freedom and harmony.
Perhaps many of the people living in poor nations look at America and despise
us by identifying inconsistencies in what we say and what we do.
We have created a market for slavery, and have the moral and ethical
responsibility
to make things right.
HEROIC WORDS DEMAND HEROIC ACTS
You can take that step by making the world a better place by making one
telephone call.
Your phone call can help change the world for the better.
Call SILK and ask for the tiniest favor. Ask for a written statement.
Could anything
be simpler?
We can change the world one step at a time. We can make things right.
SILK: 1-800-488-9283 EXTENSION 827
Here is what I would like for SILK to write on their website: "We
condemn slavery, and will not knowingly buy chocolate from nations using
children who are in bondage."

A Small Moment In Time
by Patricia Rogers - parogers@mindspring.com
Sitting on the steps
staring at the sidewalk
lost in thoughts I no longer remember
Movement broke the clear
nothingness of the moment.
My eyes focused now --
studying the walk
searching until they found
the source of the disturbance.
An insect, small and nondescript.
On his back, legs grasping at the sky,
trying to gain a foothold in the air.
Ignorant,
I leaned forward and turned him over
thinking to give him the footing he was so desperately seeking
He fell over on his back,
legs again grasping at the sky.
Now quickly, now slowly, now not at all.
And as I watched,
powerless to help or heal,
I began to understand
the fear of the unknown
and will to live
that is in us all.

Memorable Quote
"Until
we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is – whether its victim is
human or animal – we cannot expect things to be much better in this world…We
cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living
creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in
killing we set back the progress of humanity."
~ Rachel Carson
