To Look in the mirror; <strong>to</strong> SEE what‘s there …<br />

(06/28/20<strong>17</strong>)<br />

―Let no one regard as light the burden of his or her ultimate responsibility. To the<br />

degree that we remain silent while so much ill-treatment of the innocent continues —<br />

while the moans of thirsty animals crammed in<strong>to</strong> railway trucks remain unheard, while<br />

the cries of newborn calves & piglets <strong>to</strong>rn from their mothers‘ embrace remain<br />

ignored, while such extreme brutality prevails in our slaughterhouses as well as our<br />

barbeques — we will all continue <strong>to</strong> bear a great and deep-seated guilt.‖<br />

~ inspired by Albert Schweitzer<br />
