Working on something positive in hopes to educate others

PETA has recently relaunched their McCruelty campaign and I've sent out as many emails as possible to share the awareness. Though I firmly believe that PETA, as an organization, is justified in their cause, sometimes I disagree with their approach. My hope, as an animal lover, is to share knowledge and further growth in understanding animals and their role in our society...as well as our role in thiers. We should be good stewards to our planet, do our best to care for her and all those creatures reliant upon her bounty. Most of us understand this and do our best to live this way, but there are some who don't. For reasons of profit, misunderstanding, or severe lack of knowledge or compassion, they live their lives as though nothing else is connected to them and they have no responsibility to others. Some people react well to 'shock' type therapy as is seen in alot of PETA's campaign material, others will turn away in disgust and others will not feel any empathy or responsibility for the treatment of animals PETA is so firmly against. It's always a fine line to walk when sharing education, and I hope to do that with my blog. This is just my first attempt at utilizing my blog for something about which I am so passionate. I hope this is a good foot forward and the begining of somthing powerful.
Thanks for reading!
