My entire life I’ve been obsessed with animals, and I want to use that obsession to better the lives of as many animals as I can. If you look out the window of the second floor of my grandmother’s house, you will see a large open yard with clumps of trees and thickets sprawled throughout it. In the center of this yard is a glimmering reflective pond. Almost like an enormous mirror in the grass. This is where I decided what I wanted to do with my life. I would visit that pond as often as I…

Ya think people like it when their dog tears up toilet paper rolls? If they do, then for one, they’re dumb, and on the other hand they didn’t think about the actual dog at all. If their dog is an untrained mutt who doesn’t know right from wrong, then there might be consequences later on. To be honest, if they don’t train the dog whatsoever, then it might not even like the owners. Training their dog should be mandatory because it promotes the health and safety of the dog, the family, and the…
Stephen Harrod Buhner in Sacred Plant Medicine once said, “There is an old Navajo warning that if you kill off the prairie dogs there will be no one to cry for rain … In fact, the burrowing animals, like prairie dogs, open breathing tubes in the Earth. The underground aquifers act like the diaphragm in human bodies; the moon as it passes raises and lowers the underground water table and the Earth breathes through the many fissures and tubes opened by the burrowing creatures. The exhalation of…

There are several reasons why this energy is so promising, mainly because it is overwhelmingly abundant throughout our oceans, and because high tides, low tides, and weather patterns that would create large movements of water through natural cycles and storm surges are very predictable in…

Conceit, greed, corrupt— those are the characteristic that Stalin had and those are also the attributes of Napoleon. Orwell wrote animal farm as an animal’s…
