I'm reading a book written by Jane Goodall and Marc Bekoff called "The Ten Trusts" and it is absolutely phenomenal. As part of my spiritual practice I practice veganism and non-violence, but if you are not vegan it may guide you in making friendlier choices when you do purchase animal products.

I don't think it would be a total breech of copy rite to list the ten trusts so I'm going to. If there's a problem I'll take it down right away!

1) Rejoice that we are part of the animal kingdom
2) Respect all life
3) Open our minds, in humility, to animals and learn from them
4) Teach our children to respect and love nature
5) Be wise stewards of life on Earth
6) Value and help preserve the sounds of nature
7) Refrain from harming life in order to learn about it
8 ) Have the courage of our convictions
9) Praise and help those who work for the animal world and the natural world
10) Act knowing that we are not alone and live with hope

Reading this book has been a spiritual re-awakening for me, so I wanted to share it with you. If you have read it I'm interested in what other people have thought?

(If I need to post this somewhere else let me know. I'm new so go easy on me :roll: )
