Please Contact Your Senators and Stop Cruelty With Me!

I but am so saddened by what some humans - many are deluded, enslaved females who will do anything to cater to what they think of as male attention, even negative attention. Weirdos, naturally, and real losers.
Hot chicks  would never have to work for attention, .
These are desperate women who could never attract any males, but they are aberrant, mentally ill psychopaths in the most vile an unattractive way.


I'm speaking of cruelty videos.


Legislation has passed the House of Representatives that will enforce the anti-cruelty laws.
Now, we all want to let the Senate know that Americans, (Yes, I'm an American Mermaid too! Didn't you think that we members of other animal species are also patirotic Americans? All the horses, dogs, and cats in this area I know are also Americans !) all want humane treatment of innocent, helpless beings, especially of infants and babies.


Make phone calls too, and let all your friends know.
Also, let the internet providers, the sites, the media, and especially the search engines and sponsors of sites that show these cruel videos that we will all stop giving them traffic, and that we will not buy products from the ads they run.


Please help us spread compassion. The world has enough sadness already. Let's turn things around.
Start here:




U.S. Rep. Elton Gallegly (D-CA) introduced the legislation to address theSupreme Court's decision to strike down 18 U.S.C. Sec. 48 which prohibited the creation, sale and possession for commercial gain of illegal animal cruelty.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
The bill now goes to the U.S. Senate. Find your 2 U.S. Senators here, and write (faxes or letters are best) or call and urge them to support this important legislation! Also, sign Animal Law Coalition's petition to Congress to pass legislation overturning the Supreme Court decision.

No More Meat! World Day For The Abolition of Meat ! January 31, 2010 !!!

NoMoreMeat.org

Mark this day and start planning your own area activities and events now!

This is so marvelous ! All The Mers are so into being compassionate to all beings!

Of course, we're vegan too! We love all other animals, so what else could we be?

What about you?

Have you decided yet that Love means Compassion?

And that Compassion is for all living beings?

That all living beings feel, think, love, aspire, and dream, just like you do?

Yes, we're all alike, so let's get healthy, live longer, look great, and stay youthful and lithe, slender, and agile ! How? By being vegan, of course!

Vegans live at least ten years longer than others, and they look much younger, too.

These hip European groups are doing the right thing for all of us, including all humans and all Mers, and all other beings, for the planet itself, for the air, the water, and everything!

Why? Because the horribly cruel meat "industry", (organized cruelty on an unprecedentedly unconscienable level for profit only, since meat is killing humans, making them ill, and shortening their lives ), is also the worst polluter in the world!

Yes, the meat industry pollutes the air and water worse than any other polluter!!!

And even those who eat meat expect that the innocent animals involved will be raised and treated with humane laws and kindness and slaughtered humanely. I wish this was what actually went on. Any kind person will want to add their voices to petitions that aid in bettering their lives and means of death. Visit DActivist for more.

And when we do good, we feel good! Maybe for the first time in your life, when you go vegan, your mind, your beliefs and your soul will be in alignment, in harmony. Being spiritual is being compassionate. Compassion is the basis of all world religions, after all, and our bodies were meant to eat plant foods. Visit Go Veg for more on this.

So give your soul a gift and visit No More Meat, get some of their materials and start your own local event now for January 31, 2010, and let's start this new year right!

Whales and Dolphins - Mermaid Blog 11909

Visit Love Whales

Their size makes it impossible for them to hide. Their intelligence makes them know they deserve kindness. Their huge hearts know what love is and o­nly give us compassion and want the same from us.
We all say we love whales. Love is action. 
Please follow this link and help to change the tide for these most 
helpless victims.



Of other beings, a wise human wrote: "We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."- Henry Beston

We Mers adore whales. Every specie of whale is a wondrous being, and I personally have many close friends among them.
Even Mers - and, yes, we are known for our beautiful voices - pause and luxuriate in the luscious tones of singing whales, stunned at the loveliness of their vocals, and fascinated by the ever-evolving songs. Creative songwriters, all whales are mult-talented and as intelligent as they are large.

Please help us protect them! You do know that their smaller brethren, the dolphins and porpoises, are also whales, don't you?
Dolphins, as other whales, also are quite wonderful dancers, as well as surfers.
We adore being near whales for the great vibrations (literal and figurative!) that they emanate.
Physically, just riding the bubbles they emit can be a blast!
And being tossed around in the currents the huge whales' bodies create is so fun!

But the soulfulness, the vibes that only a huge heart and deep, tender understanding can shine out like the light of an inner Sun, is the true measure of any being, isn't it?
And whales shine brightly!
Keep them safe!

Don't we all insist on kind treatment of the helpless? Demand more from our government. Sign -http://bit.ly/3ELo2v

The nature of compassion.

Why is it that "small men's complex" seems to have amplified among those who erroneously link cruelty with some sort of strength?

It's completely perverting the meaning of what being "manly" is, and yet the weak and simple-minded have somehow absorbed the corporate imperatives forced upon audiences by money-grubbing institutions who want to: split families in order to make sure that individuals are miserable. Why? Because miserable, empty, lonely people buy more gadgets, drink more alcohol, smoke more cigarettes, and cause more destruction, once again, meaning more sales.

Add to that medical drugs to stave off their depression, deprived of any meaningful relationships in life, these dejected and less-than-savvy consumers indulge in even post-adolescent male bonding that should have been left behind in junior high.

So, while the women and children are contained and constrained in the straight-jacket ideals of being stalwart, responsible, and essentially holding the bag while the men who would be boys hang out and play, the societal views perpetuated by the uncaring forces of marketplace propaganda lean toward the view that in order to have "fun", one must poke fun at weaker people, make fools of the opposite sex and view them as prey to "bag" and to use, and treat every helpless and needy being with anything but compassion.

To be strong, in reality, means to be kind to weaker beings, and bullying constitutes bad behavior toward someone smaller than oneself.

Once upon a time, anyone being cruel to a smaller or weaker or less able being, whether one's wife, child, or a member of another specie, would have been deemed a very low - and very unmanly specimen.

When did this - cruelty - become a source of sport for the demented?

It's easy to trace through the degeneration of TV shows, for instance, and in the downfall of spiritual strongholds like churches and schools, but how can we turn this around?

Stiffer laws against bullies and psychopaths, obviously, but careful monitoring of childrens' viewing habits would help.

And the widespread opening up of a dialogue on the subject - creating venues in which men can learn that the actual position of machoism is, and always has been, to protect the innocents and the weak.

As a Mer, I cannot fathom how some of your males, and even some of your females, have been manipulated into this type of stance.

Regardless whether someone eats meat or not, I'm very sure that all humans want and demand that innocent babies be treated kindly, no matter what the specie.

Please, for all of us - sign this and make sure these cruel people are prosecuted and the humane laws are upheld.

After all, cruelty to one weaker soul will always become cruelty to human children as well.

Army For Animals and Halloween Vegan Treats - Mermaid Blog - 102909

We Mermaids and Mermen wonder about your holiday called “Halloween”.

I can understand flower festivals, sunshine, and exalting the Creator, but what do humans get out of indulging in thoughts of death?

By “owning” and participating in it, do you assuage your innate fears?

Of course, the cute little costuming is one thing, but we Mers strongly suggest that everyone who is a sane, caring individual human be on watch all the time - and especially on Halloween - and to protect every being on our Planet.

Keep reading

I'm listing information on how to report any suspicious activity or cruelty of any kind, danger, or threatening behavior.

Holidays should be fun for every being.

We don’t like the loud noises, and most beings do not like them.

Meanwhile, let's find some fun ways to celebrate the fun aspects of Halloween!

Below for Healthy Halloween Treats.

Protect

Army for animals is a worldwide group of kids and adults who love animals and protect them.

Feel free to copy and print your Army4Animals Logo and wear it proudly!
By doing daily acts of heroism, by helping to spread the word about being kind to all animals, we make the world a better place.
Joining the army for animals is as easy as downloading a sticker, or placing a banner and link o n your site.
Everyone who loves animals is invited to become a part of this wonderful group, who fearlessly stands up for those who cannot help themselves.

Keep watch

Please use these links to report any cases of animal abuse you see or hear about.
Remember to find out the contact information for your local aspca or spca, in case you find a lost or injured animal, or in case you see someone being unkind to one
Use this link to find your local aspca
http://www.aspca.org

Report

If you see an act of cruelty to an animal, call 911 immediately, and report it. They will tell the animal control people, and it's great to keep the phone number of animal control handy for such emergencies.
The Humane Society is preferable, in cases of lost pets, because they operate o n attempts to keep pets alive, while shelters often are so overpopulated with animals that they euthanize, meaning they put them to sleep. Some communities do not have a local humane society, in which case, please contact your local aspca.
http://www.hsus.org/ace/352

Adopt

If you hear of someone who is going to get a new pet, please encourage him to stay away from pet stores and from breeders - they cause much abuse to animals. Please ask him to adopt a needy dog or cat from the local shelter. It's so much better to save a life!

Get Fixed

Whenever you see someone with a pet who is not neutered or spayed, which means to fix them so they will not have to have babies, please ask the owners to get them fixed, since the millions of abandoned and unwanted overpopulations of dogs and cats cause so many to be eventually put to sleep at shelters.

If people get their pets neutered and spayed, then when someone wants to adopt a new pet, they can go to a shelter and rescue o ne, thereby saving a life!
This link will help you find low-cost and free getting fixed information!

http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/spayneuter/

Heroism

By protecting the helpless, by standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves, take care of themselves, or even communicate with us, we are doing heroic acts.

Like the Animal Planet Heroes, we are all capable of saving lives every day!

Join the worldwide Army for Animals, and become one of the leaders in making our world a wonderful place for all of its' citizens!
