Support the UDAR. However you can. By voting. By considering. By editing. By signing the declaration. By joining a local animal rights organization. And a few international ones. And maybe, if you’re lucky, it can be both for you. But support it we must, in order to not die ourselves.
When even one species leaves the planet, the planet is changed, and so are we. The Martha I am is, perhaps imperceptibly, changed by even one extinction. And so, because imperceptible with one, we think it will be so with two. And three. And three hundred.
At which extinction will the change be perceptible to the densest among us? It already and certainly is among the most perceptive. I do not count myself among them. I am aware only of the conceptual likelihood that this is so.
At which extinction do we acknowledge that we do not value the sacredness of life. Where life will be a commodity to trade in for us all? When my flesh is only so much protein on the market?
Now – you see, I don’t believe that that day will come. I believe that right now, we are waking up to the sacredness of life. And that all life, if one’s own is to be truly and presently lived, is regarded with awe. And respect. And love.
Support the universal dignity of life; live in the awe of life; support the UDAR.
Namaste.
