Does anyone here recognize the wealth of insight that is posted on AAS Watchdog? My beliefs and understanding of animal issues are constantly being challenged and refreshed and enhanced by the fantastic letters on this board.
My line of thinking goes in one direction and then someone's viewpoint takes me to an even deeper level of consciousness.
Barry Faire's writings on the 'suffering of sentience'; Lisa Hutcheon's connections of the human need to equate animals' suffering to human beings in order for society to truly understand abuse; many, many more brilliant and thought provoking messages which constantly educate all who read here - need to be printed and spread so much farther afield.
The lessons provided here could make such a difference in so many animals' lives and prompt thousands more people to truly fathom, as Lisa wrote: 'the truth of tragedy'.
Not long ago I was writing an interactive column in a newpaper about child abuse - people referred to me, jokingly (I hope), as 'the Ann Landers of abuse'. Wouldn't it be fantastic if this concept could be copied and our postings would be the basis for a column of this nature?
What a rich contribution to the world that would be. Thoughts, anyone?
