Greetings of love and gratitude from
Judy Carman
Farm Animal Rights Movement is once
again asking us to pledge to Fast on World Day for Farmed Animals
October 2: FARM describes the fast: “Each day, 160 million
farmed animals are transported to meet their gruesome end at
slaughterhouses throughout the world. These caring, sensitive
individuals are denied food, water, and rest on their journeys for
several hours, up to days. They are scared. They are starving. And
their suffering is silenced by an industry that doesn’t want us to know
the truth.
“Yet we refuse to be silent. Together, tens of thousands will rise on
October 2nd to speak the truth about farmed animals. In the historical
tradition of Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi,
we will join together in a one-day Fast Against Slaughter in solidarity
with these innocent victims.
“Through our voluntary sacrifice of food on this day, we will amplify
the voices of the billions of farmed animals suffering around the
world. We will inspire others to learn the truth. And we will mobilize
a compassionate global community who will not wait for justice, but who
will make it a reality.” You can make your pledge at
dayforanimals.org/pledge.
Our Prayer/Intention for the Week That
we might inspire others to stand in solidarity with the animals and end
this brutal war against them. We give thanks for the tens
of thousands of dedicated activists who will join us and the animals on
October 2. We ask for strength and courage to help spread the
message, through our actions and the way we live, that all animals have
the right to be free from suffering; that all living beings are sacred
and interconnected with us; and that it is time now to end human
violence against all animals When asked what message Gandhi wanted to
leave as his legacy, he replied, “My life is my message.” We ask
for the strength to live our message with joy and with kindness, that
those who see how we live will be inspired to become “Homo Ahimsa”—the
new kind and loving human, living in harmony with all of life. Dear
Animals who suffer at the hands of human beings, October 2 is a big day
as we fast in solidarity with you. May you feel our love reaching
out to each of you, embracing you and holding the vision of the day
when you will all be free.
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
