Don't shop, adopt.
Hundreds of homeless animals are right now waiting for your help, for a home.
When you see a dog or a cat on the street, you won't take them to your home. That's why there are lots of organizations that are responsible for rescue, rehabilitate and give a chance for dogs and cats that lived on the streets of our cities and now waiting to be adopted into a permanent home.
1. Search web sites, blogs, videos or in the newspapers tips to adopt a pet. Search for adoption or charity events.
2. Get ready for your new pet. Organize your home, make a room for him or for her, buy a little blanket or a "home", buy special meal.
3. Sterilize your pet.
4. Love them with all your heart, respect them and let them know that life is beautiful.
Its easy!
Earth has been polluted since long time ago by the
human race which overuses natural resources such as water, the trees are cut every
day more and human continues overproducing pollutant and unnecessary things.
You probably are part of the people who want to make a
change and join to all those people that help the planet, but you don’t know
how.
The first thing that you have to do is convince
yourself that everything is possible and that the “grains of sand” will change
the world and everyone around you. You can’t be pessimistic; you must convert
the bad thoughts into good thoughts.
The second thing that you have to do is think that the
Earth is the only place where human beings had the privilege of being born and
for that reason human should love and respect the mother Earth.
The third thing that you have to do is change all the
sediments of indifference that you would have in your mind because maybe it
won’t help you to make the difference, namely, you have to get information
about all the damage caused by human and then you should to love all the beings
that we share the earth with, because everything what we do affects them too.
Once you’ve changed your mind, you can visit blogs or
websites where tutorials, videos or guides are waiting for you to see them and
make a change recycling, helping animals and Earth too. Tell a friend to tell a friend. Little changes
make a big one.

The life of a lamb is not less precious than human life...
"I maintain the same opinion now as then. For me, the life of a lamb is not less precious than human life. Would not be willing to take the life of a lamb in the interest of the human body. I think that the most helpless creatures are more worthy of protection by man from human cruelty."
-Ghandi.
Why being vegan?
Along life, the food chosen by a person affects thousands of animals. Did you know that avoid the pain and the misery of animals is really easy? All you have to do is eating healthy. You should be more conscious when you buy or eat something, namely, be more conscious when you are going to buy products or articles because some of those elements affects animals and maybe you don't know. For example when you are going to buy a coat and you feel that it is really soft and warm, maybe that is really cozy, you should think about the material of this coat because maybe the person who is selling it to you made it with a lot of little and helpless animals.
To prevent all the possible suffering is important to take some steps for now and for the future. You should remove the speciesist and selfish thoughts and the indifference because eating meat affects human beings and animals! Is important to stand out that exists some myths about the vegetarian diet and that about vegan diet exists a deep ignorance. In Colombia are not really common those terms. Some people thinks that the veganism and the vegetarianism are really unhealthy diets but the true is that are the healthiest diets. The reasons for being a vegan person are inculcated by the ethics and morality and it is not linked to the religious beliefs. The veganism is a responsibility that concerns to all the people ignoring the beliefs, the customs and political positions.
Think about this words.
"Love all the living beings and pacify your soul stopping the death and eating animals, there is the real prove of religiousity because the real wise and God's man won't kill and won't eat any creature but love, conserve and maximize the life in all its manifestations"
-Buddha

"I refuse to digest the agony"

It would be the first step.
DON'T BE INDIFFERENT!
Vegetarianism and veganism.
“If someone offers me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water I will accept it" Sri Krishna (Bhagavad-gita 9-26)
The veganism and the vegetarianism are two ethics of life that can solve some nowadays social and environmental problematics.
The vegetarianism is a essential or basic part of different eastern cultures and religions like the Hinduism which considers that animals like the cow or the white bull are sacred. They also believe that those animals are not suitable for human consumption or that are not good for human health. Despite this, in those eastern cultures are practiced some rites in which is presented the sacrifice of specific animals.
It can be stated that the veganism is the most respectful and healthiest style of life that exists.

Across the time some philosophies or manners like the vegetarianism have arrived to west, namely, the veganism and the vegetarianism.
The vegetarianism consists basically in respecting the life and eating healthy. Vegetarians don't eat meat, chicken or fish.
The veganism is an ethic alternative and is one of the healthiest diets. The products that are not adapted to the physical and spiritual needs of the human beings like the meat, the chicken, the fish, the cheese, the eggs and the milk and the different articles made with the leather and skins are not included in the life of a vegan person. Namely, the veganism is a respect attitude with all the other beings different to humans (animals and nature). It is a logical way to live in which the products from animals are not used nor to feeding, nor to dressing, nor to cleaning, etc. It consists in refuse the use of products tested on animals like creams or makeup, the participation in shows where people can use animals in whichever way and other mistaken things created by human beings.
ESPECISM.
Especism is a kind of selfish and unfair discrimination. The speciecism is related to belief in the superiority of an specia (the human specie) over the rest of the species. Humans, for cultural reasons, consider our specie superior to others and we feel entitled to use, discriminate and kill animals because they are less than us. Speciesism is the deepest-rooted prejudice that exist in our society nowadays.
Since long time ago, the human race has looked for ways to get ahead in climatic, business and evolutive situations to which has been confronted over the years. The human race has also shown courage and strenght, overcoming adversity. However, material assets, new inventions, debauchery and technological advances became a priority for the human race. The dynamics of three thousand years of history of humanity has been conditioned by inequalities between human animals and nonhuman animals, for example, more than three thousand years ago, the first civilizations hunted animals, regardless of habitat or its role in the nature. These unfair things have been the cause of many wars, a constant in human relationships.
The reasons why there are inequalities between people are the skills, cultural, thinking and intellectual abilities the people have, but often, we have tried to find a natural explanation to justify the injustices committed by humans such as racism, gender and even to justify the mistreatment and discrimination to animals. Humans in general are speciesist, our behaviour is with less respect for other animals do not belong to the human specie.
Nowadays, the mass media around us and around our homes and works project the idea that the interests, the existence and life of animals are not relevant and, therefore, the human being feels that he has a natural right to use animals as their own resources and for their benefit in the field of medicine, cosmetics, clothing and even fun and distraction (as in circuses, for example.)
On the other hand, the culture in which we are immersed, the education we received and we give to otherciety we live in is, without realizing it, fundamentally speciesist. Humans normally assume that only members of our specie have to be taken fully into account, I mean, that in order to defend the human "superiority" remains belong to this species and is itself sufficient grounds for someone, even a non-human animal, whether or not respected. Animals are not treated as beings with ability to feel frustration and pain. Their rights are trampled with the consent and support of the Law, as happened long ago with victims of racism and sexism. The speciesism's biggest mistake is canceling our thinking to the individual mind. Keep in mind that only we can be speciesist. No sense of the human race, but in the sense of who we are moral agents, responsible for our actions, as there are humans who are not moral agents, since they lack the ability to have moral conscience (infants, mentally handicapped, elderly senile, ...)
