BOYCOTT AND PASS ON THE: Living Now Festival Summer 2004 July 29th- August 1st

 

 

I'm passing and boycotting this event and I'm encouraging you to do the same.

Why? They don't allow dogs, which is the most absurd thing I've heard in a

while, considering who this group is and what they are trying to represent.

 

Obviously, when they say, " Let us come together to rejoice in this sacred

present moment and create a more beautiful and awakened future, " it's a future

that doesn't include dogs. Who wants to participate in something like that?

 

All the celestial bullsh## in the world is'nt going to cover this up: this is

obviously all about the money. These guys are nothing more than slick promoters

and if their policy is that they don't want my dog there, then they certainly

don't want me there as well.

 

So, the last thing they'll get is my support or money.

 

So BOYCOTT AND PASS ON THE: Living Now Festival Summer 2004 July 29th- August

1st

You can call them here: (888)902-9619 or you can email them here, if you think

this is rediculous:

-It is so sad to me when others make judgements about individuals

without meeting them first. This will be my second year at this

event and I look forward to the event all year . They are not about

the money as you say. This event is a labor of love to them. Anyone

who has taken the time to meet Albert, John, Turiya,and John would

know this right away. The food offerend is very affordable and they

are all truly caring individuals. My suggestion to you is to work as

hard as they do putting this event together and have you own event

where dogs are allowed.

Peace,

Jude

There is nothing sadder than the bigotry of humans against sharing

the world with animals, unless it's the attempts to justify it with

quasi-piety and pseudo-consciousness.

 

You know, I can even understand why the venue doesn't want dogs and

cats there--if the place is a sanctuary for a rich abundance of

wildlife, as the name implies, then certainly they need to be

protected from predatory domesticated animals. However, in a venue

which routinely hosts large groups of humans, there are surely

places far enough away from the wildlife to be able to bring

companion animals; or else simply choose another venue. I'm sure

accommodations could be made so that everyone would be happy.

 

But no such issue was presented here, nor on the website for the

event. Instead, the attitude seems to be coldly exclusionary (and I

resent the event's labeling of rescued animals as " pets " ); the

responses of the person representing the event have been attempts to

sidestep the issue, with lectures on the nature of reality,

purported survey results, and insinuations about bad animals

and " owners " . The attitude is such a turn-off, as is talk

of " judgements " and other irrelevancies. The issue is the animals,

pure and simple.

It's unfortunate that the " love " and " caring " excludes animals.

Sorry, such an endeavor is not of any appeal to me. My hard work is

far more directly on behalf of non-humans, to stop the imprisonment,

abuse, torture, and slaughter of the billions of animals which goes

on daily. My suggestion to you is to work for the same goal, there

are too few taking part in the overwhelming struggle.

With all due respect, if you are so unhappy and offended by the fact

that they don't/won't/can't allow dogs. Instead of complaining about

it and saying how aweful they are why don't you organize an event

yourself, then you can allow dogs, monkeys, zebras or whatever. You

have no idea how much time went in to planning, how many sites were

looked at. You don't know, so stop judging.

Hi everybody, I haven't kept up with this issue much. but has anyone thought

they might not be allowed to have dogs because of health codes from the city

they are having it at?

 

Just a thought,

Kevin

[Guest guest]

Instead of complaining about my message, and instead of inventing

accusations of " judging " (while it is the accusers who are engaging

in judging me), and instead of defending exclusionary practices, why

don't those who support those practices peel off their

anthropocentric tunnel vision, and broaden their circle of

compassion? Why shoot the messenger? As I've already mentioned, I'm

not into organizing events, I'm into ending bigotry against, and

abuse of, animals, wherever it occurs. It's about the animals.

-Hi Zsuazsa,

 

 

I sent my reply to the initial poster Jesses, not to you. I have

seen your post regarding the welfair of animals and having nothing

but respect for what you are involved in. I am simply wasn't happy

with someone making harse judgements about people I have know and

respect . I do understand that those same judgements are made about

Animals also, but I wasn't addressing that issue at this time.

Peace,

Jude
