Opening our hearts and minds to embrace all living beings with respect, compassion, empathy, and nonviolence is one of the most liberating paradigm shifts we can choose to undergo as individuals.
“Every year 65 billion animals are slaughtered to feed humans and some 40 percent of all the fish caught are converted to fishmeal to feed pigs, chickens, domestic salmon, fur-bearing animals and cat food [...] The fish- and animal-killing industries are robbing the seas of oxygen production for short-term profits.”

Dear World, It's me, Panda Bob. Why isn't it April 24, 2014? WHY. On that day in history, the grass grew to my chest. MY CHEST. Today in present history, the grass is so boring. It grows to my ankles. The other cows eat it. I HAVE TO SHARE. April 24, 2014 is the best day in my history to date. COME BACK TO ME. While you are getting smoochy, I'm getting nothing but ankle grass. RUDE. In contemplation, Panda Bob
