Dear Pamela,
Thank you so much for your incredible compassion for our canine
brothers and sisters. It’s a travesty how they are enslaved, tortured
and killed. My heart breaks too. Not just for the dogs but for all
beings similarly treated. That’s why I am a committed
vegan. It’s hypocritical to love one species and eat and exploit
another.
Anyway, I’m sure your prayers and practices done out of compassion
for these dogs in China and directed toward their welfare will be of
benefit, admittedly small, I’m afraid, but what can we do in the face of
such overwhelming ignorance and cruelty? I
think vocal advocacy would probably more effective than prayers, to be
honest. Becoming a vegan and encouraging others to do so covers all
bases.
The “failed monk” thing is said (don’t know how true it is) to apply to dogs that hang around monasteries, not dogs in general.
Thank you for reaching out.
Much love
n
