    We asked for your help supporting our efforts to work with public health experts to preserve antibiotics necessary to human and animal health. If you have already reached out to your representative, we want to sincerely thank you for your support.
    If not, there are only a few days left before we meet with MPs in Ottawa. Please consider writing a letter today.
    When we released the What's On Your Plate? The Hidden Costs of Industrial Animal Agriculture, report last year we went to Ottawa and met with decision makers to discuss the impacts of intensive farming on animal welfare, public health, the environment and rural communities. Your support made those important meetings possible.
    We urgently need your help again. Some of the most alarming findings in the report concern the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria (including superbugs resistant to two or more antibiotics) on farms. We must meet with policymakers to discuss how the routine practice of feeding antibiotics to healthy livestock is jeopardizing drugs critical to human and veterinary medicine. Previously treatable illnesses could start killing people and animals alike.
    If you haven't already participated, please write to your Member of Parliament today. Ask your MP to meet with WSPA to discuss this urgent issue. If you have, please ask your friends and family to write as well.
    Thank you in advance for moving the world to improve the health of both animals and people,

    Quote For Today
         "Your physical being is but a product of your soul.
         To change what is externally created one must reach to the inner core of the self to find peace and clarity."



    A Return to the Soul
       
         "Often while physical the external stimulus of the environment can become difficult and disappointing.  Many assign blame to circumstances [which seem]... apparently to them... out of their control.
         By playing the part of victim there appears to be a tolerance to a seemingly endless parade of mishaps.  The events can escalate to even more intolerable scenarios until the physical incarnate becomes overwhelmed.
         When "bad times" persist, it is important not to give power to external manifestations.
         A thoughtful reckoning internally may be the key to more productive moments.
         Your physical being is but a product of your soul.  To change what is externally created one must reach to the inner core of the self to find peace and clarity.
         Daily dramas can distract even the most advanced of souls.  If you find yourself in an undesirable predicament remember this:  what is occurring is coming from your energy.  To stop it one must reach deep within to alter the vibration that created the situation. 
         It takes courage to do so.  It's never easy, however, extremely rewarding if successful.
         Your physical self will have difficulties realigning your creative energy to stop the march of unfortunate incidents.  This is the importance of going back internally to the soul.  It is eternal.
         Remember that the physical world around you is but one of many you have experienced.  It will dissolve into memory while your soul moves towards evolution.
         Return to the soul.
         It is your greatest refuge.
         It is your connection to the source of All That Is.
         Return."

    To those of you unfamiliar with the Assumption Parish Louisiana Sinkhole, this has been an ongoing disaster since August of 2012 when 350 homeowners were evacuated because of the sinkhole which has now grown to the size of over 10 football fields. Erin Brokovich, environmental activist was brought in to try to find remedy for the displaced homeowners whose properties are now in the process of being purchased by Texas Brine, the owner of the salt dome and mines which have collapsed, and have created this disaster. The entire area is off limits, extremely unstable, and the situation does not appear to have remedy at this time. But we can assure you, even though mainstream media has blocked this from coverage, it has been going on now for quite some time.

    Massive Explosive Potential at Louisiana Sinkhole and Gulf of Mexico. Doomsday? – The La Sinkhole Bugle

    “A horrible scenario is shaping up in the Gulf of Mexico, which could easily allow a chain of events to unfold, which may quickly become an extinction level disaster. This article will attempt to explain and link together all the aspects and events that have led up to this point. The subjects involved are numerous, including the usage of Hydraulic Fracturing, and where it’s gases are stored once recovered, and it’s connection to the Louisiana sinkhole; how the ‘fracking” is de-stabilizing the North American craton plate, and how all of it is connected to the recent BP Gulf Oil Spill. Bear with me, while we go on a journey of discovery that will leave you chilled to the bone about the future of not only the Gulf of Mexico, but of the United States and beyond.”
