Let's make justice out there! Animals are sentient beings, as us... and they are better than humans... they deserve respect, love and caring... but most of all they deserve FREEDOM. Zoos, any type of captivity shall be banned from this planet: once and for all. I stand beside the animalists and each group or association …
Another great Victory for AVAAZ
Link per AVAAZ 18 mesi fa, il controllo di Monsanto sull'agricoltura mondiale sembrava inattaccabile. Oggi, dopo più di 20 campagne, 2 milioni di firme, centinaia di migliaia di telefonate, messaggi e incontri con i Ministeri, manifestazioni e articoli di giornale... l'intero "modello Monsanto" è stato messo in dubbio. L'Unione Europea ha appena bocciato il rinnovo …
The strength of Nature * la forza della Natura
Actually this is only a cartoon... I have seen few dystopian movies, I'm Legend just to name one, where nature take back its place . Others, like Divergent, Shaman, Hunger Games or Cloud Atlas, bring us into some mistic territory where you really have to open up your mind and accept the real possibility that …

Pope Francis, a great Bodhisattva…
He is the first pope to take the name of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of all animals, who said, “Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission—to be of service to them wherever they require it.” And …
Save Andy the Polar Bear
Source: Save Andy the Polar Bear Write an e-mail to: susan.babcock@ualberta.ca derocher@ualberta.ca I saw a petition about the polar bear Andy wearing a collar which is suffocating him. Since this isn't the first time such things are happening, I'm wondering if there is any possibility to avoid sufferance and death of these poor animals. I …
I’m not kidding… there isn’t much time left
Climate change is impacting every part of our world — our health, the economy, biodiversity, forests, agriculture, communities and more. We are running out of time, but not solutions. We ask the World Leaders, when they meet at the Paris climate conference this December, to urge to work for climate action, including a new universal …

I’m not afraid… * Non ho paura…
Lately I often find myself thinking about my past, to the nefarious adventures of youth, to the values that were and those that have strengthened pushing me towards a total dedication to the protection of animals and nature. Seeing everything around me change, it sometimes captures the anguish and the repressed fear rises even tormenting …
Compassionate living, for a better future * Vita compassionevole, per un futuro migliore
Sometime being a cheese lover and desiring to become vegan, I got terrible feelings when I put some parmesan cheese over my spaghetti or I serve myself a choice of alp's cheeses with the polenta... I guess is matter of habit, since many blogs worldwide help us to find out that there is an alternative …
We all have a choice… but still is only yours! * Possiamo scegliere…
When I speak of vegetarianism and veganism, my interlocutor wrinkles his/her nose (most of the time)... I realize that unfortunately are still few to embrace this choice that not only shows respect and compassion for other living creatures, but it is also the only solution to safeguard the planet Earth. The issue I resume it …

Me and my teddy bear * c’era una volta Orsetto
More than half a century ago, I made the acquaintance of "Teddy Bear", the faithful friend that still accompanies me in my sleep and dreams!

A time for reflection… * Un momento di riflessione…
With the flow of time, as a raging river toward its estuary... I grew older with the forces that crumbles like dry bread forgotten in a corner. Maybe because of that, the reflections are becoming more intense, more pressing, even becoming a reason that brings me forward. It is not easy for anyone, being an …

Act before it is too late * agire prima che sia troppo tardi
Every time I sit in front of the PC, I find on the screen a multitude of shocking news and campaigns... We can not reverse the situation, it is true, we can not force the oligarchs to drop with drilling in the Arctic that kill the bears and the rest of the tundra's fauna... we can …

Days to save the bees — spread the word!
Silently, billions of bees are dying off and our entire food chain is in danger. Bees don't just make honey -- they are a giant, humble workforce, pollinating 75% of growing plants. But in five days the US could move to ban the toxic pesticides that are killing them off. We know we can get …
