The essential thing for us to understand in sharing this information is to be humble. What I am saying is as individuals, and as an organization, we will survive and fulfill our purpose if we act compassionately to others as well as to animals, and move steadily, growing in strength, spreading the message, that, once truly understood, can not be denied.
