I welcome you to this very heart wrenching blog, and yes to lighten the mood once in a while I will post about success in the never ending war on animal cruelty around the globe. I warn you now this page is not for children, though it is something they must someday learn happens on this planet.This page may scare you or make you want to turn away...but isn't that the problem.....we turn away, we close our eyes and ears...and the message in the form of words is so much easier to accept as something we can do nothing about? The poor souls featured in this journal will of had no such luxury, to turn away, to close thier eyes....no, they had to endour the torture, the barbaric actions of mankind, to them and thier environment. Do you think these things only happen in "other countries?"  , I will expose the plight of British, American and Australian acts of animal  atrosity to rival that of the things going on in "other countries". How I will work this blog is simple, I will post the article in print, with minor graphics, in politeness to those who just can't take the hard core reality of it, these graphics wont be nice, but they wont be a nightmare to see.I will then post a link to the video footage or other pictures that exist, for those who want to know the whole story. It is one thing to hear something is happening, it is quite another to see it, to feel thier pain, watch thier suffering, and finally realize those printed words were never able to truely  capture the honest brutality our fellow man dishes out to very innocent creatures.Where possible I will post the link to the petition to stop the partiular action I am posting about, or post further links to larger organizations who know more.I wish a blog like this wasn't needed, but sadly the killings too great, and thier voices do not speak our language, so I will do my best to represent them here. God Bless all who take the time and heart to visit me here.

I know you will do a great job with this and someone has to do it and promote it. This may just be the begining of something very large. Lets hope we can make a difference.

much love sis!

I love your blog. Thank you for all you do for animals. Here is a special Easter message for all who love God's creatures:

Easter: Not Just for Humans!



I was at a book signing recently for my book (All Creatures of Our God and King: What God's Word Says About Animals) and I was approached by a man who asked me the following question: "Why would anyone want to write a book about what the Bible says about animals? Doesn't it just tell us to kill them all?" Sady, this kind of reaction is not uncommon. So many people today do not realize how God feels about the animal kingdom, his own special creation.

This Easter, I would like to share an important Biblical truth - When Jesus died on the cross, He didn't just save us humans - He died for the animals, too. Prior to Jesus' death on the cross, animal sacrifices were a common and vital part of every family's worship experience. Lambs, goats, birds were sacrificed at home, at temples and on altars themselves. The animals took the place of humans. We humans did not have to die for our sins - innocent, pure animals took our place. Through the course of history, countless animals died to save human souls. Before the time of Jesus, humans found their salvation through the animal sacrifice. When Jesus died on the cross, He became the one and only sacrifice. He died to pay for all our sins forever and ever. Animal sacrifice was no longer necessary.

The Bible says that we have a savior who can sympathize and identify with us because he has been a man, tempted in every way, just as we are (Hebrews 4:15). Well, Jesus can also certainly identify with animals. He and the animals in the Old Testament experienced something no one else on earth has – giving their lives for the sins of others… sacrificing themselves to bring others closer to God.

So, friends, Jesus is not only the lover of our souls - He is a lover of the animals as well.

Happy Easter!



Love and Blessings, Teri

Hello. I'm visiting the people on Dezert Blu's friends list to ask that you please visit her journal. Her dad (father-in-law, I believe) died today and she needs her friends around her. Thanks.
