The Side Effects of Endorphins

Many years ago, I made the decision not to consume any animals. Our manufacturer and consumption of animals is one of the three biggest factors contributing to global warming.

It was the reason I stopped eating animals, but now my reasons are more heartfelt. I simply can’t kill anything. Every living thing has the right to a long and rich life.

 Original question of the day was what is your favorite animal? I need your reaction as a cat sitting here on my shoulder or my dogs we have had as pets. That doesn’t make it a favorite. In reality it does.

Until

I walk out in the porch and see a hummingbird by the hummingbird feeder or a dark eye Junco singing in the tree.

One Day on the Delmarva Peninsula

I was driving early in the morning going to visit my mother, having just crossed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge title. I was following a truck transporting chickens to their final destination. I looked at a chicken sitting next to the exhaust on that truck. I decided maybe if I didn’t need chicken, there would be one less crate on that truck. On that day that chicken was my favorite animal.



Friendship

Naturally, these two provided two of the great friendships I’ve had in my life. I love them to a fault. I also love all other animals and that’s not to a fault. They deserve to live a life of dignity. They have one life to live, just like us and I treat that with respect.
