Thursday 10/4/07 at 10pm Thanks to Brad Woodard of KHOU Channel 11, some exposure of Ringling's abusive practices towards elephants will air on Thursday, 10/4 at 10pm. He interviewed our very own Kerri Milam (Society of Peace & In Solidarity with Animals) and Shannon Morgan (Vegetarian Network of Dallas). Please pass this on to your friends and family in the Houston and Dallas area. Especially those who advocate for animals but might not be aware of the horrors behind the circus training. Go to www.circuses.com for more info. Danielle De Litta-Seger, Director InSolidarityWithAnimals.com (832) 257-7200 cell "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ~~Mahatma Gandhi "I don`t hold animals superior or even equal to humans. The whole case for behaving decently to animals rests on the fact that we are the superior species. We are the species uniquely capable of imagination, rationality, and moral choice - and that is precisely why we are under an obligation to recognize and respect the rights of animals." ~~Brigid Brophy ï¿½People often say that humans have always eaten animals, as if this is a justification for continuing the practice. According to this logic, we should not try to

prevent people from murdering other people, since this has also been done since the earliest of times." ~~Isaac Bashevis Singer "A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral." ~~ Leo Tolstoy http://www.chooseveg.com/meet-your-meat.asp I
