PHILLIP WOOLEN MOST INSPIRING SPEECH
At VEGAN SAVES THE WORLD, we are very thoughtful about the safety of these animals and want to make certain they are protected from any harm. Soooooooo, we want you to know that it is not good for a fish to be caught or trapped in a net to be cooked and eaten for food. NOPE NOPE NOPE. Can’t eat innocent fish…would not be a fun, happy thing for fish. Like you, they just want to swim and play free with their Buds. Soooo, humans are supposed to eat plants and not animals.
Hi, My name is Clownin’ Around. Me and my buds in the ocean laugh all day long. Now can you think of anything better than laughing and playing all day with your buds? Heck no! So catch these from the net and reel them in and you can share them with your best buds too!

Vegans let animal babies have their mommy’s milk. Vegans love plant milk. Animal milk works best in animal bodies and plant milk works best in people’s bodies. Vegans love all the delicious good stuff that gets made from plants and doesn’t cause any harm to animals. These keep people happy and healthy, and saves the animals any pain or suffering. We make the right choice, because not only do we care about people, but we also care about not causing animals any pain and suffering.
Sometimes it appears as though people are ruthless and will go to any extreme to achieve their financial and egotistical desires. GREED: EXPLOITATION and all the examples below and beyond attest to human insensitivity. Humans due to GREED:EXPLOITATION harm ourselves almost or as much as the damage and destruction that we inflict upon animals. GREED:EXPLOITATION is a living nightmare that we want to bring to an end by waking up to the truths that “would we want done to us what we do to them”? If the answer is no, then we certainly need to put an end to GREED:EXPLOITATION!
How much weight can you carry on your back, shoulders, and legs? How about carrying weight that will cripple you; destroy your bones, muscles, heart, lungs, and other organs? Animals feel great pain and suffer greatly. It is criminal to abuse any living being. It is immoral and unethical to reduce the quality and quantity of the life of any living being.
Does THE CREATOR only value humans? Why on earth would THE CREATOR have filled the majority of space with other creatures? What would be the point? Killing them, eating them, and enslaving them does not support the peace and well-being of humans. Maybe we could think again before killing a baby creature to eat its tender flesh. All it wants in this world is the same as a human baby, IT’S MOMMY!!! ALL BEINGS ARE BORN FREE, let’s make certain that they are also born loved and safe from any harm.
EVER WONDER WHAT OUR ANIMALS WONDER?
Hmmmm! I wonder what is going through my puppy’s mind!
WE’RE INNOCENT!!!
Children are innocent, playful, free, and need to be supported, encouraged, and safe. As we grow, we can remain innocent and appreciate our self-esteem!
Look at animals. They are innocent from all the horrors that we put upon them. Society and fearful thinking has put us all in chains! We are prisoners to our fear for survival. We abuse ourselves and the animals, which comes from a place of lack.
What are we lacking? Validation! Every species lacks validation. We are perfectly OK being who and what we are! When we respect and have reverence for ourselves and all beings, we release the fear and trauma. We live freely and just are.
There is an innocent animal in nature that reminds us of ourselves and our own innocence. Perhaps, this observation can return us to a planet of innocence. We can then cease the harm that we inflict on ourselves and other beings.? We can change our thinking, which will change our emotions, which will change our choices and behavior!
FYI!
DEAR GLOBAL FAMILY
The following info will help us live more healthful informed lives on this planet.
IS ACID CAUSING YOUR INFLAMMATION?
Animal flesh and animal derivatives are the highest acid items on the planet that many people choose to consume. The majority of physical pain stems primarily from physical and emotional toxicity. This is born from heat causing inflammation from high acid foods, high acid thinking (fear), and high acid emotions (anger). Inflammation which causes swelling results in a person feeling stuck, immobile and oftentimes, unable to change. What we put in our mouths affects every aspect of our lives. Subliminally, what we eat not only affects us physically, but also mentally and emotionally as well.
THE INVISIBLE TRUTH
Spraying our foods and crops with invisible poisons, chemicals, insecticides, pesticides, toxic fertilizers and contaminating foods with other additives is causing our congestion, coughing, choking, dis-ease/disease, intoxication, and self destruction!!! Allowing GMO Science (Genetically Modified Organism Science) to take over our crops is altering the DNA of every living thing and being! VEGANS are very conscientious about what we consume, all moral, ethical, and physical conditions on the planet. Everyone and everything is being affected in some way. When we purchase CERTIFIED ORGANIC, we are at peace that our food is clean, pure, and healthy. CERTIFIED ORGANIC AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDES GMO FREE!
PLANT AND SMALL CRITTER INSIGHTS
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that 5% acetic acid vinegar can effectively destroy unwanted plant life during the first two weeks of emergence. Apple cider vinegar can be used to repel and eliminate infestation of common pests. It works indoors and outdoors. Apple cider vinegar will eliminate aphids, small sap-sucking insects.
With a world filled with sorrow and pain from the consumption and slaughter of innocent creatures, BETTY’S VEGAN FARM put together some light humor to help soften the sadness that is experienced globally daily. We are making positive strides and progress in lessening the suffering and death of creatures who deserve to have their lives, if only the world would unite to our natural VEGAN lifestyle. While you are laughing, keep in mind that we want to set all non – threatening beings free to be happy and safe no matter who and where they are.
WHAT IS GREEN?
VEGANS LEAP INTO OUR WORLD TO KEEP IT HEALTHY, PURE, CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL, SAFE, HARMLESS, AND FREE.
VEGANS THINK GREEN
Real Medicine was here long before health issues. The planet is the apothecary for healing. The ancients knew what plant to use for rebalancing the body’s many systems. We are working hard in this contemporary world to return to that brilliance and relearning what they knew. The Real Medicine is found growing from the Mother Earth; she nurtures and heals, and we are grateful.
REAL MEDICINE I – HERBS
Real medicine is derived from organic foods, herbs, homeopathics, essential fatty acids, essential oils, massage, reflexology, and other natural, non-invasive means of physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual support. We are always striving for balance.
Herbs are foods. Herbs and spices that we use in food preparation are not just flavor enhancers, they actually provide and address sources of nutrition, and various individual health related issues. Whatever we ingest into our bodies will either produce positive support or will decrease the health and well-being of the. body. This is applicable to humans of all ages, and the majority of animals on the planet. We would be amazed and surprised to know how similar humans and animals are in regard to nutrition and healing from nature and THE CREATOR’S MEDICINE.
SOME OF THE MORE COMMON NUTRITIONAL HEALING HERBS: ALFALFA, ALOE, ANGELICA ROOT, ARNICA, BLACK COHOSH, BLACK WALNUT HULLS, BURDOCK ROOT, CATNIP, CHAMOMILE, CHASTE BERRY, COLTSFOOT, COMFREY, CORNSILK, DANDELION ROOT, DONG QUAI ROOT, ECHINACEA ROOT, ELECAMPANE ROOT, FEVERFEW LEAF/FLOWER, GARLIC, GENTIAN ROOT, GINSENGS, GRAVEL ROOT, GRINDELIA, HAWTHORNE BERRY, HOPS STROBILE, HORSERADISH ROOT, HORSETAIL HERB, JEWEL WEED, KELP, MARSHMALLOW ROOT, MEADOWSWEET, MILK THISTLE SEED, MULLEIN, MYRRH, GUM, NETTLE, OATSEED/OATSTRAW/OATS/MILKY OATWEED, ONION, PARSLEY, PASSIONFLOWER, PAU D’ARCO, PEPPERMINT, PIPSISSEWA, PLEURISY ROOT, PROPOLIS, PSYLLIUM SEED, QUASSIA, RED CLOVER FLOWERS, RED RASPBERRY LEAF, ROSEMARY LEAF, SAW PALMETTO, SIBERIAN, GINSENG, SKULLCAP HERB, SLIPPERY ELM, ST. JOHN’S WORT, USNEA LICHEN, UVA URSI, VALERIAN ROOT, WHITE WILLOW BARK, WILD CHERRY BARK, WILD GINGER, WILD YAM ROOT, WORMWOOD LEAF
REAL MEDICINE II – ESSENTIAL OILS
ESSENTIAL OILS are extracts from plants. When inhaled, allowed to penetrate the skin, or used in formulas for specific issues, they restore balance to body, mind, and emotions.
ESSENTIAL OILS AND ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS cleanse naturally and will ward off unwanted microbes. Research ESSENTIAL OILS you are interested in using. ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS are plant oils consumed in the diet daily for brain, neurological, and mobility support.
REAL MEDICINE III – HOMEOPATHICS
In the late seventeen hundreds, physician Samuel Hahnemann devised a system of medicine known as Homeopathy. Homeopathics work with the Laws of Similars. Homeopathy consists of atoms that are secussed or pounded from substances releasing the energy from that substance that correlates to atoms found in the bodies of humans and animals that can gradually restore balance to a body that has become fatigued, challenged, or distressed. Homeopathics have no side effects when directions for use are followed. If overly administered, the body can experience a healing crisis or a quick onset of detoxification. There are many texts on Homepathics. This is a subtle, comfortable, and gradual way to heal.
REAL MEDICINE IV – FLOWER ESSENCES
FLOWER ESSENCES were founded by physician and bacteriologist, Dr. Edward Bach (pronounced Batch) from Oxford, England, in the late 1800’s. He cultivated this system with his assistant, Nora Weeks. Seeking remedies from plants that matched the frequencies or vibrations in the human neurology, he was able to promote healing in patients that prior to, were unsuccessful in healing their health imbalances through conventional methods.
REAL MEDICINE V: KINESIOLOGY & REFLEXOLOGY
KINESIOLOGY is a system that relies on the body to tell it its truth. It is often referred to as Muscle Testing. It really goes beyond this. While the brain will often alter information and contrive the data that “we want” it to tell us, the body will override the brain. This method is used very frequently in the purchase of products or wanting a “yes” or “no” response to questions to which the body may reply. There are numerous ways to use this tool. There are books that teach kinesiology and the many ways that it may be performed.
REFLEXOLOGY is a system of therapeutics that involves acupressure, NOT ACUPUNCTURE, an entirely different science. Acupressure or REFLEXOLOGY, opens up channels in the body to allow for greater blood and oxygen flow, which helps promote healing, detoxifies the body, and supports organ function. Many massage therapists are familiar with this form of therapy. This is a growing field of healing and endeavor. Reflexologists can be located in most every town in the United States and other countries as well.
REFLEXOLOGY can be performed on the feet, which house more than seven thousand nerve endings, the hands, and the interior molding of the ears, which symbolizes the unborn infant in the birth canal in the natural birthing position. Eunice Ingram’s REFLEXOLOGY charts make it possible for anyone to apply pressure to areas of the body where there may be an indication of imbalance. More information is available in texts, clinics, and online.

MOOSIC TO OUR EARS!
Ever heard a baritone cow mooing? That’s me! I am going to become rich and famous. Thank you VEGANS for saving me from being somebody’s dinner. MOO MOO MOO MOO MOO!
UH OH – SOMETHING’S IN THE AIR!
You know what that is? Old animal flesh is rotting in someone’s gut. Peppermints aren’t enough to do the job. Some heavy duty colon and blood cleansing to the rescue! A VEGAN Lifestyle could be the remedy! Chemicals and pesticides in food cause greater stink! Certified Organic saves the day!
LUMPS AND BUMPS
Zits are the pits; colon waste travels through the blood and “poops” through the skin. Happens the most from consuming high acid animal flesh and dairy. TIME TO CLEANSE and GO VEGAN!
WHAT’S YOUR THING?
Hi again, I’m Nellie. Animals know unspeakable pain and suffering: pens, cages, tags, debeaking, declawing, being squooshed in warehouses, and fattened for slaughter. IT’S OUT IN THE OPEN! HORRENDOUS! What people eat determines if we live or die. Vegans have consciences that say, “KEEP THEM ALIVE!” VEGAN IS THE THING!
GOT SOMETHIN’ STUCK IN THERE?
Do you know the most hated word on the planet? It is responsible for the most health issues there are. Young and old suffer with this condition. The worst case stems from the consumption of animal flesh. The word sick comes from the word toxic. Toxicity begins in the colon. If you didn’t guess it by now…
C-O-N-S-T-I-P-A-T-I-O-N!
WHERE’S THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER?
Eat a lotta acid foods? You know, animal flesh, eggs, dairy that make your gut like an inferno/fire pit! The three highest acid foods on the planet linger in the body for long periods of time. They cause inflammation that eats away at bones, tissue, joints, and organs. Wanna know why so many people have so many health issues? See what’s on their plates!
WHAT IS THAT?
Lemme ask ya somethin’. WOULD YOU EAT YOUR DOG? How about your cat, turtle, bird, fish, rabbit, frog, pet snake? You really think you’re supposed to eat animals? A human body is made to eat fruits, vegetables, and maybe grains and legumes. IT’S A PLANT FOOD EXPLOSION!!!
FUN FOR WHO?
Fish for dinner? Wanna be the one swimming in the ocean? Won’t last long! Rods are dangling wiggly worms and wet soggy dough balls. You’re a goner! Once that hook’s pierced your jaw, drags you to land, jerks you up, with your lungs gasping for air, just know you’re gonna be slapped on a plate with cocktail sauce. DINNER SERVED!
MAKE SENSE?
Would THE CREATOR hurt little bunnies? If you were a bunny would you want to make a human happy by having your paws cut off for lucky charms, your eyelids cut off for mascara testing, and your fur stripped from your body for coats for humans? Hmmm. How does this make sense?
MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH
Anything that eats from or lives off of something else is considered a parasite. You never thought of yourself as one did you? From the time you were born and ate from your mother’s body, and even while you were in her belly, you were a parasite. Now you are going to eat from MOTHER EARTH, “Who” feeds all beings.
CLANG CLANG CLANG
Ever seen a fireman rescue someone in distress from a burning building? Every time you choose to eat a veggie burger or veggie nuggets, you are saving an animal from a “burning building.” It matters to each one of them. It’s COOL TO BE UN-CRUEL!
FREE TO FLY
All creatures are born to be free. We can only be who and what we are when we are free. The Creator gave wings to the bird so it could fly free. Humans have brains that allow them the ability to set themselves free.
DOES THIS BELONG TO ME?
Does that belong to you? If you drink cow milk, it surely doesn’t! The consequence is asthma, sinus infections, lung disorders and all kinds of breathing issues. VEGANS wisely choose plant foods for their milk products. Why take what doesn’t belong to us as we have all of these other choices? Every baby is entitled to its mommy’s milk!
TO DIGEST OR NOT TO DIGEST!
Nothin’ blows up a belly faster than animal flesh in soups, stews, and chilis. Human teeth cannot gnash or break down animal flesh adequately, nor are there enough powerful enzymes to do the job. Chunks of flesh get stuck in long curved human intestines. Acid levels are not high enough to break down the flesh either. Dead animal pieces are stuck in human colons for many years. Consuming animal flesh can be very harmful to kidneys. Beans and veggies provide complete nutrition and keep a colon clean.
INSIGNIFICANT? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!
Are you aware tiny critters have a purpose and reason for living? We’re gnat givin’ up our lives! Each of us is special. Hard to believe ant it? Bug it’s true. Next time you want to exterminate us, think twice; bee nice. If you want us to flea, or prevent our entry, use a little apple cider vinegar and water when you’re cleaning.
NEED PROOF
Do animals have to prove they are worthy by doing hard labor? When people own animals, they have responsibilities to be kind, and provide for the animal’s needs. If they can’t live up to this, they shouldn’t own us.
WHO IS THE OWNER AND BOSS?
Every living being is owned by THE CREATOR. We are here to be kind and caring to all creatures. We do not want to do anything to others we would not want done to us. No one wants to experience harm, pain, and suffering. Animals and humans can be living in a peaceful, caring garden. Without human interference, that is the natural way for all things.
THE CHASE IS ON
Ever been to a steeplechase? They gotta leap over hedges and hurdles. You wanna do that all your life? Exhaustion and bone deterioration are your pay. The horse is awarded a wreath. What is more important, people, the wreath, the horse, or money? Where’s the conscience behind all of this?
THERE GOES RUSTY
Know anything about horse or dog racing? “There goes Rusty,” the fake rabbit on a mechanical device that travels the interior of the track, teasing the horse or dog to chase it. Ever been chased and yelled at to run faster faster faster? When they reach the finish line all that is left is energy to collapse. Day in, day out, this is the job you humans have given us. You want it? Neither do we!
WEIRDEST EVER
People are the weirdest creatures; brutal and savage in some parts of the world. How can a country allow such inhumanness as bullfighting? Is there anything people won’t do for money and “prestige?” During the fights the bulls are tormented, teased, and terrified. The matador then stabs the bull with several swords.
COMPASSION POWER – COME TO THE RESCUE!!!!
TO THE DEATH
Do you know that pit bulls, Rottweilers, and roosters are trained to be brutal in animal fighting rings? These naturally docile critters are trained to tear each other apart. Trained dog and cock fights are a big money maker; blood and guts all over the place. Let’s Treat All People And All Animals The Way We Want To Be Treated. ANIMALS LEARN WHAT WE TEACH THEM! SAME WITH PEOPLE! COMPASSION IS COOL!
OPEN THE LID AND LET US OUT
Ever hear of anyone buying canned meat? How can you stick a cow in a small can? A big pasture makes more sense. Why would you try to cram this big body that lives on alfalfa grass all day into a small tin can? Only small minded people could come up with that one.
LEAPIN’ LUCKY CHARMS
Any extra body parts you wanna give up? Humans are always after ours. They love our claws, jaws, and paws and think they bring you good luck. Send us your tongue or a foot or two! Let’s see what kinda luck that’ll do!
NO WAY!
GO SLOW, SMELL THE ROSES; ER, NO WE MEAN DIRT
If we do not honor MOTHER EARTH, then she has every right to throw us off the land. If we use and abuse her without lovingly giving her time to rest, then what right do we have to expect constant nourishment from her? She needs to take a nap every now and then…don’tcha think?
OH WOW…THAT’S A SLAP IN THE FACE!
If we harm our animal creatures, what right do we have to share land with them? They were here first. They are our teachers. We, humans, would know nothing without having had them show us how to survive. IT IS THEIR ELIMINATION THAT GROWS OUR FOOD!
IT’S A ROLLER COASTER
Our intestinal path are curved and elongated. We are living on the edge if we are consuming animal flesh! It takes hours and hours, maybe days, months, and possibly years for it to pass through a clogged colon plumbing system. “Sick” is derived from tox-“sick.” Sickness originates in the colon from foods that have not been digested and eliminated properly. The acid heat inflames organs, tissue, joints, and causes pain throughout the body. Wouldn’t we rather a VEGAN diet that minimizes these symptoms and conditions?
WHATEVER THE QUESTION, VEGAN IS THE ANSWER
Consuming animal flesh is the most common cause for pain and sickness. Human anatomy is designed for fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. A human’s diet plays a major role in the person’s general state of well – being. The human will experience emotional, psychological, and spiritual pain and suffering which is the direct result from the animal’s pain and suffering. What goes around, comes around. When we stop killing and eating animals, we will stop moaning, groaning, and dying from the consumption of these innocent creatures. BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT ARE CONNECTED. VEGAN CAN HEAL AND ELEVATE ALL THREE!
VEGANS RELEASE THE INNOCENT
Every creature was born to be free. No one and nothing is meant to be another’s prisoner or slave: No Human and No Animal. How are we treating one another and all species? We are in a New World! Perhaps it is time to see and feel with New Eyes and New Emotions!
IF WE’RE NOT ROBOTS, CHECK HERE____
The world is spinning so quickly, we are caught up in all kinds of “living too fast” activities. Fast food, for example, takes us away from our own kitchens and hands on love and energy that we give to our personal organic plant food recipes. Maybe, we will even find the time to befriend our animal family and appreciate their beauty and what they bring to this world.
FEWER WORRIES
VEGAN is a simple, easier compassionate, non-guilty, less hustle, bustle life. We feel better. We have loving relationships. We learn, teach, and grow. We love this world, people, and animals.We have respect and reverence for all creation. We live with gratitude. Does it get better than this?
LISTEN AND READ ALONG!
Q – Boris, we were told you had a really hard life. You lived in a dust pit with bunches of others like you? How did you get free?
A – This may be hard to believe. We piled on top of each other until a few of us were able to climb out of the pit. We searched and found different long pieces of rope. We tied these around us, lowered ourselves back into the pit a little at a time and let the others wrap themselves around us as they wiggled their way to the top and would squirm out. We made it to the very bottom of the pit and were able to pull ourselves out, one by one, every last one of us. We were being farmed for sale. Why anyone would want to buy us, is beyond us. We just know that we are glad to be back free in the jungle; slithering wherever we choose. Whew!
Q – Rosco, what in the world happened to you? You are a big guy. You have a horn that could cause some real damage. How did someone or something get the best of you?
A – I was in the field like always, just relaxing. Up from behind, a huge net was thrown over me and I couldn’t loosen myself or get out from under it. I don’t know why someone would do this. I just know that I had to free myself and had no inkling as to what danger I could be in. I quickly fell to the ground, rolled my big body over and managed to free myself from the net. I saw a rifle pointed at my face and before anything else could happen, I swung my horn in that direction. The rifle flew through the air and I managed to high tail it out of there and get lost in the brush. I have no idea what happened with the evil minded spirit who attempted to end my life. I just know that I am here to tell this and am at loss for words in expressing the appreciation that I feel. I have my life and that is all that matters.
Q – Foster, who’s buggin’ you and why?
A- We are trapped and carried off in bunches by hunters who take us to schools and science labs. They dissect us and probably some of us get slit while we can still feel the blade. Now just what are you gonna find in a frog’s body that tells you anything about a human? What kind o’ thinkin’ is that? NOT!
Q – Alfred, how were you able to overcome your danger?
A – A couple of times a year, the apparel industry sends poachers to get as many reptile skins as they can for shoes, purses, wallets, belts, luggage, watchbands, and other items. People are not connecting that we’re being killed to make these things and that’s if we are the lucky ones. Many get skinned alive. People could consider other options if they knew they could have them harm-free from plant and synthetic materials. There is a lot of money in our skins, so the industry is relentless in harvesting as many of us as they can. Fortunately, we expected their arrival. We huddled together in the swamp. We know how to survive in our own home base. The poachers got caught in quicksand and that was our saving grace. We got away unharmed. We don’t know what happened to them. At least we are still breathing and there is much to say for that!
Q – Zachary, what is so different about your story? What have you come here to tell us today?
A – You just won’t believe some of the antics people perform for money, excitement, and glory. They kill us to take our skins to make apparel, rugs, draperies, and upholstery. Can you imagine such craziness? We have lost too many of our breed and we put our hooves down and said, ENOUGH! We devised a plan that when they showed up to scout us out, that they may see us, but they would not see zebras. We got the monkeys to cover us in mud where our stripes would not show through. We just grazed and looked like the rest of the brown four leggeds and managed to slip in between them to keep from being eyeballed. You see that it worked, because I am so grateful to be here to tell you this story today. Thank you for listening.
Q – Garret, what are you here to tell us today? You have a huge audience! Have at it!
A – I am in really good shape and can leap far and fast, or I wouldn’t be here with you today. Jeeps the speed of light came zipping through in a quest for lots of antler heads. They didn’t realize that I don’t have any, and chased me anyway. They probably just assumed as they watched me leap and hop through the land that I would be good prey for them. I was able to make enough noise to scatter all the gazelle so that none were harmed and the hunters gave up and left. That was one lucky day for all of us. We hope that our telling you these stories will help open the eyes of humans to become humane and realize the atrocities that they are performing for greed and selfishness. How would they like being hunted and destroyed for their hair, flesh, bones, or other parts of them?
Q – Harvey, what have you got to share today? What in the world can you do to protect yourself as big as you are? How can you run and hide? What is it that would cause attention to you?
A – Our teeth; it’s our teeth that they are after. Have you ever seen the size of our teeth? Here, check this out. Do you see how long and pointy they are? They can be used for tools, weapons, and who knows what else humans can conjure? What can we do to protect ourselves? We hide in thick muddy water and in dark and spooky areas that prohibit their ability to see us easily. We slip down with only our snouts and eyeballs and they can’t see us. We make sure they are far far away before we emerge again. We are grateful for the muddy waters. They save us. We are grateful to you and hope you will save us from threats and harm in the future. We are counting on you; us and our sword teeth are counting on you!
Q – Jeremy, we all know that those spots are very attractive to skin hunters who seek you out in the jungle. What do you do to stay alive? Have you had any close calls?
A – They can spot us, pardon the pun, from yards away and we are easy prey for them, except for the fact that we can climb, run, and pounce. The pounce was the one that helped me out of the last ordeal. I was being chased by a couple of skinners. I saw this log a few feet in front of me. I leaped into the tree branches above. As they got close to the large heavy broken limb on the ground, I pounced down really hard on the end that was sticking up and it managed to bash them both knocking them and their rifles to the ground, allowing me to pounce far away into the distance. Anytime I remotely think that I spot one of them, I head for cover, cause I know what they are after and I do all I can to keep them from succeeding. Maybe this will help even more. We need and appreciate you.
Q – Anthony, how in the world would anybody be a threat to you? You have so many abilities that would scare someone. Why are you here being interviewed for a story? What is it?
A – Obviously, you cannot even begin to imagine the nerve of humans; or rather, lack of sense. I am extremely powerful; fast, deadly, and intelligent. It is not easy to pull anything over on me. I am tough and rugged. Those relentless greed mongers thought they were going to get my skin in order to sell my flesh for some very big numbers. They have no idea about the numbers that are working against them!
Q – Terrence, how many people are aware that you are part of the pig family? We are told that your flesh has become as popular as that of the pig. We are here to see what we can help do to prevent either of your breeds from being exploited for food and grant you freedom to roam without any worries and concerns for your life and well-being?
A – We are an endangered species. People have become accustomed to killing us for our meat. It is very traumatic for us, as we used to just be and now we can be found on people’s grills, plates, and in their guts. Not a pleasant thought. The Tapirs have weekly meetings to make certain that we make ourselves scarce and hard to find or capture. So far, it is working and our plans are benefiting us. Please get the word out to your readers so they will know the peril that we are in. It is relatively new, but it is in great volume. Help us! No one knows who could be next on the dinner table. Thanks greatly.
Q – Langley, are your spots the cause of your turmoil?
A – They love us for their zoos. We just want to live in our jungles. They take us from our homes and put us in confined limited spaces, and we have nowhere to run, be free, grow, and be happy. Would they like living in stone walls, isolated, and limited all the days of their lives? We have our antennae up to keep from being caught. We have lots of plots to wreck their success. We cannot tell you or they will catch wind and our schemes will be out in the open. No open schemes and no in the open leopards; that oughta stop their hunting habits!
Q – Bernard, how can anyone not be afraid to confront you? Why would anyone attempt to attack or harm you?
A- They love our claws and part of our masculine structure. Recently, they have begun to eat our meat. I have learned to use these in my favor to save myself. Too bad they were born human instead of sloth bear, or they could’ve been given what I have for free and inherently (naturally). I vow to use my incredible claws, masculine strength (other more private details) and my heavy broad meat to control them from harming me. You are so right; I can protect myself. That is exactly what will occur in the future…no more sloth bears for them.
Q – Perry, we kinda know why they want you. Got any stories that left an impact on you?
A – For a long time, I was able to hide in the trees, however, they started tracking us in the leaves and branches and many of us became shoes, belts, wallets, and you know the rest. I thought, how the heck am I going to be able to save myself? So, out of nowhere came the brilliant idea, to befriend a hippo and win his trust. When we knew the hunters, who target us, were out and about, my buddy hippo opened his mouth wide and I was able to crawl in. Hippo knew exactly when they were gone, opened wide and out I came, in one piece, heart not pounding too heavily, and just plain ole snakeskin grateful. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
Q – Lennie, oh, proud sir, king of the jungle; you must walk around with a doozy of a story. Does anybody rank as high as you out there? What, pray tell, can you share with us? Can’t wait for this one!
A – You know that we are made to be able to do a vast many things to survive and thrive. Some of our ability are climbing high; being sturdy and tough, having great vision, and making sounds that will scare the hair off a man’s body. We wait patiently for one of those huntin’ dudes to come rolling in, because that is when we can really be ourselves.We usually get the best of them. Pride gets them and the hunters want to go back home with big Lion tales; so I decided to give them some. First, as I was walking along the branches and saw a couple of them on the ground, I didn’t say a thing. I just pounced both at the same time, straddled their bodies and took my breath, teeth, and roar and scared the you know what out of them. When I figured that had a big enough scare, I stepped away from them long enough to laugh myself silly watching them run faster than that Road Runner Ostrich that you people have in cartoons. Talk about a cartoon; boy, was that day entertaining! I’M STILL ROARING!!!
Q – Oliver, don’t all of you spotted kitties get confused with one another in the hunting world? Aren’t any of you afraid they are coming after you instead of one of the others?
A – I’m the littlest “kitty.” roarrrr! All the spotteds recognize me. They and all of the other jungle animals know the difference. Being the smallest, I can find many more places to hide. I still worry from time to time that they’re gonna grab me for my precious skin. I have learned many secrets about where to hide. I have plenty of provisions in case they hang around too long. That’s “ocelot” to expect from a little “kittie.” But hey, I am up for the job and smart enough to do it; don’tcha think?
Q – Percy, I must comment and hope the others don’t hear me, but you have the most gorgeous black fur and illuminating eyes that I have ever seen. Please keep that to yourself. How terribly awful for anything to want to destroy you and your life. Does anything or anyone show up to harm you? Any stories to tell?
A – First of all, thank you for the compliment. That is very kind and generous. I will keep it between the two of us. While we are known for being hunters in our own right, humans who seek our pelts and just for sport are far worse than anything we ever do. Fortunately, we can hide in dark places; heavy brush, black caves, and the likes. Yeah, I have had some close calls. I am grateful that I was able to slither away from being trapped or killed. I am a little older and wiser now and know more what to expect. I have a greater sense how to protect myself and teach the younger ones how to do so also. Lots to say about aging. However, I have never known a black panther to turn gray; maybe because we don’t worry about money, houses, schooling, jobs, cars, and other material things. Ah, jungle, home sweet home. Young forever!
Q – Gerard, this has gotta be tougher on you than anyone. How are you able to hide that long neck, big spots, and tall body? How do you prevent harm from coming to you and your family?
A – So glad you asked. No one ever thinks to ask us. We are such docile creatures. Who would think any harm would ever confront us? Poachers love our hides, meat, and body parts; so sad to say. So, what can we do when they show up? We can almost fold ourselves in half from the waist down. That way, we can hide out in the bush, still, quiet, and just wait it out until we know they have moved on to other locales and that we are safe. Too bad we don’t have massage therapists here, cause sometimes, I feel like I sure could use one; know what I mean?
Q – Tobias, you are such a good guy. Why would anyone want to cause you pain, suffering, or loss of life?
A – We are good guys; we are also very handsome guys. Our skins are some of the most sought after. We got our printing company friend to make new signs. Guess you haven’t seen any yet. We are still staking them in the grounds all around. “Poachers, it is cheaper, safer, more profitable, and less dangerous to purchase fake tiger skins from upholstery manufacturers. You can have all you want anytime. Go for it. It is the smart thing to do.” We sign them: Regards TIGER’S TEETH. We’ll see how smart they are. Hey, thanks for coming!
Q – Eldon, you’re the big guy! Anybody still hunting you?
A – The heartless rascals still poach our ivory and they get to have our meat. Can you imagine somebody wanting to eat us. How long would it take a human to eat an elephant? Berzerko. We practice quick trunk swats and send ’em flying faster than a torpedo! This is good for us and too bad it is bad for the evil ivory thieves. Maybe they will learn to stay home and outta trouble one day. They haven’t experienced the worst of it yet. Keep it up humans; you think you have the best of us. The jungle was made for us, not you; just keep it up! We got to teach ‘em to stay home to keep us from becoming extinct, disappearing permanently, vanishing, and being erased from the planet. What is the earth without its elephants?
Q – Gruber, I guess no human really gets to know you well. Your size probably tends to scare them off. Do you experience any trouble and worries?
A – Gorilla meat. They have taken to eating gorilla meat. They think it’s prestigious. I don’t want to think about it, much less talk about it. I will say this, then I am putting it to bed leaves. If any of them ever attempt to come after me and mine, they have no clue what they will be up against. I have a long reach, big hands, and arms that can squeeze the life out of anything. Get that? Now you know my game plan. Pass it on. Tell ’em to stay home and watch boxing on television. Safer for them that way!
VEGAN SAVES THE WORLD wants to extend a tremendous thanks to all of the participants in our interviews. We know it must be very traumatic to have to recall such life threatening experiences and conditions. We are so glad that you are alive and well and teaching your animal brothers how to save themselves and their families. We will continue to work diligently to educate the global public in hopes that they will educate others to become more humane and conscious to the fact that you are living beings and that your life means as much to you as ours does to us. Good luck, prayers, and compassionate days ahead.
