Truth:
Love and Pleasure
are felt by
animals of all species

Golden Rees (many moons ago) and Braveheart (a free-living forest deer) enjoying each other's beauty, grace, and gentleness.

Love that is shared between species is absolutely thrilling.

People often say "you pig" in a derogatory sense. Pigs are friends, not food.

Kisses; my beloved.
She was fed vegan
for 13.5 of her 14.5+
years. She came to me
from a forest, so
we don't know her
actual date of birth.

Calves are innocent gentle babies. They're not "veal",
not a thing that you can,
with conscience, drag from his/her mother at birth so
you can steal his/her milk.
This young child has grasped what adults have not yet figured out.

Somebody found my avocado! He or she is a ground-squirrel of the western U.S.

A kid and a kid
in
mutual admiration.

I could not think of
harming either of these
precious beings.

"The Way it Should Be"

and her bovine friend.

Words could not do justice
to a moment like this. I was
lucky enough to be there. There was a legend of "the vegans" in the woods among the deer. The only other people they knew were hunters.

that pigs are pals -
NOT pork.

A sane reaction to a lamb.

I'm touching hands with a ground squirrel and a chipmunk in a forest. We got to know each other for some time before they came up to me and ate from my hands. We lived together; harmoniously.

found
a cozy warm bed
for a cat-nap.

Like humans,
many species of animals
live as a family unit.

is not
limited
by species.

Some photos are so
beyond the beyond,
that a caption
only gets in the way.

A great photographer not only precisely catches imagery, but captures a feeling. This photo defines good photography.

What a magnificent sight!

We shared life with a Golden Retriever (this is not her) that also protected rabbits. She didn't come to us that way, she learned a new behavior. People train animals to perform silly tricks for human amusement. Animals, including humans, can be trained "not to harm" other animals.

At a sanctuary, rather than feasting on turkeys at Thanksgiving, they offer a feast to their rescued turkeys.

Amazing digital moment of a BlueJay family.

Who's happier?
Sarah Lux, or Harrison, 
or me looking at 
this awesome photo?

We can talk to animals, 
and they can talk to us. 
Some people just don't 
listen to the language 
other animal's speak. 
But this boy does, 
and so do I.

and his Marmot friend.

Soul at age 3; a healthy beautiful
vegan child - and my friend.
At age 4 he said to me when we
were standing by a river:
"Auntie Butterflies,
if I saw a hunter,
I would throw his gun
in the river." Soul Rees

"Best Friends;
looking outward together,
in the same direction."

Nose to Nose,
Cheek to Cheek
The language of Love
is the one they speak.

Animals have lives
that they want to live.

a duck"

















We can talk to 

the animals....

and

they can talk 

to us.

A Mother's Love
is felt throughout
the animal kingdom.

Cow Kisses and Caresses

They're not "fighting
like cats and dogs"

they are hugging
like cats and dogs.

This guy looks like a
Disney character. He is
a ground-squirrel that
I befriended while living
in a national forest.
He's munching on
cantaloupe seeds.

They're all Lovie-Dovie
          (pun intended)

There's no hiding the
friendship felt between
Matteo Walch of Australia
and his Marmot friends.

The new babysitter.

Smiling and looking
each other in the eyes,
What a friendly human-
to-sheep surprise.

At sanctuaries; cows are not seen as a commodity, a resource, a thing -
but as the truly gentle, beautiful being
that they truly are.

Juliet Gellatley - U.K.
and her rescued friend.

Turkeys feasting at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary's "ThanksLiving" event where turkey's are not eaten, but instead treated to a feast.

Friends of a different color
and species; it's not
an issue for them.

A mother's Love lives in all
kinds of sentient species.

Reverence for life; especially perceptually aware, conscious, animal life.

Koala cuddles.

Have kitten, will travel.

"I won't last a day...
....without you."

I know the sweetest part of me from holding you.

Animals are my friends;
to protect and respect.

Summer kissing Valiant;
Gentle World's
very gentle dog friend;

Baba had
separation anxiety,
to the day
he passed away.
So did we.
We didn't want
to separate. He
lived to age 17.

A Monarch emerging
from the chrysalis.
The green cocoon
turns transparent
and then
magically
fades away,
and a butterfly is born.

little hands
on mine.

John Unger and Schoep wade in Lake Superior. The photo went viral on the internet and their story was in the news. I've hardly ever seen a photo that depicts Love as well as this one.

Manatees wouldn't think
of hurting you. Please don't
hurt them or anyone.

Ground squirrels store
food in their cheeks and
then take it and bury it to
store for the winter months.

Praying the human race,
will at long last,
learn to respect
"otter" animals.

Fish have feelings, too.
Oh yes they do!
