Good News for Animals in Quebec and
for the Evolution of Human Consciousness and Conscience: On June
4, the CBC News announced that “Animals in Quebec will be considered
‘sentient beings’ instead of property…” under a proposed bill.
Agriculture Minister Pierre Paradis’ legislation includes fines of up
to $250,000 for animal cruelty and imprisonment for repeat offenders.
According to the article, “Paradis said the bill will put Quebec more
in line with Manitoba, Ontario and British Columbia….” The
revolutionary aspect of the bill is that it states that “animals are
not things. They are sentient beings and have biological needs."
It would apply, not only to pets, but also to domesticated farmed
animals and some wild animals. Under the bill, inspectors would have
authority, with “reasonable cause,” to obtain a warrant, enter private
property and seize animals who are being mistreated.
Prayer for the Week that these radical
words--ANIMALS ARE NOT THINGS—will be heard around the world.
There is more power in words and thoughts than we can fathom. These
words, although self-evident to us, are revolutionary to our current
society. This week, let us speak them, sing them, pray them, and
share them in every possible way. Let us hold in our hearts the
clear and bright vision of the emerging human consciousness of love and
reverence for all life. More and more people are beginning to
understand that the “thingness” of animals has been wrongfully
programmed into their minds. We give thanks for Paradis’s courage and
for the courage of all human beings who are currently questioning
useless and cruel cultural programs. It may not be a coincidence
that his name so closely resembles the very paradise we seek for all
beings. We give thanks for this beautiful ray of hope, and from
our hearts we send it out to all the animals of earth. Every day,
dear animals, there are more of us, telling the world who you really
are and joining the fight for your freedom.
As always, with tears of gratitude, I send my thanks to each of you,
dear Prayer Circle members, for joining this circle of compassion and
shining the Light of Truth for all to see, so that one day soon, all
beings will live in peace together.
May compassion and love reign over all the earth for all beings
everywhere.
Thank you all for your devotion to truth, love, liberation and peace
for all beings.
With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy Carman, and greetings from
Will, Madeleine, Tara and the Circle of Compassion team
