Hello World

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” Ghandi
I have always loved this quote. Being a new member of Braveheart Women, and reading so much of what other women are doing to make this world a better place for everyone, has allowed me to learn how many different ways there are to make a difference. While I've done well over the years as a freelance writer, I realized the writing has always been directed at creating income. Creating a blog allows me to write about an issue that is important to me personally, and hopefully to others. This seems to be a great place to share and find out. You may also share with me at jadeh22@wordpress.com.

I am an animal activist and communicator. I have rescue animals in my life (horses, dogs, cats) and work hard to find homes for those I can’t take in. I’m appalled by the numbers (ranging from 2.9 to 13.5 MILLION) of animals put down in this country every year. I dont’ think that animals are “disposable items.” I applaud the people who have put their lives into rescuing/fostering the “throw-away” critters of all sizes and support them in whatever way I can. I want people to start talking about what is going on in your area and what you are doing to stop/help/publicize the abhorent actions of people who see animals as having no value – be it dog fighting, backyard breeders, horses with brands cut off being dumped in wilderness areas, race horses off the track – pick one – there are so many issues! By coming together and sharing information and ideas I believe we can ALL make a difference in the lives of these wonderful creatures who seem to love us unconditionally even when we don’t earn it or deserve it. Look forward to hearing from you!
