Why an Animal Sanctuary?
Many times I felt unsafe rescuing dogs and bulls alone, in dangerous and isolated places, where food and water were impossible to find. Many times I cried in total despair, not knowing what to do with those tiny lives on my lap, with a terminal pitbull in my car (this actually happened a few times in the past), with aggressive dogs whose hearts were overwhelmed by fear, with those who were so afraid they would recoil from the slightest touch. Many times I cried, alone, as people passed by, blatantly ignoring their plight and my tears. Many times I lost myself burrying a cow or a dog whose lives were utterly disregarded by society. Too many times I cried, waiting for help from some god or the universe as I felt my spirit being drained by the suffering of innocent beings. Creating an Animal Sanctuary was the ultimate endeavor, the best thing I could possibly accomplish in the midst of chaos. It’s not easy, but, as someone once told me, “it’s not about being easy, it’s about doing the right thing”.
From Anthropocentrism to Activism: Why I Chose to Fight for All Beings
