Da Vinci s paintings and inventions are world-famous, and he is widely considered a genius and the ultimate Renaissance man. Although people everywhere enjoy his art, humans are not the only ones who love Leonardo, animals are big da Vinci fans too. Why? Because da Vinci was an outspoken vegetarian. He once proclaimed, [T]he time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.

BEST FRIEND

Paper bags and shards of glass strewn all over the street,
The little puppy lies alone, drenched from head to feet.

Rain splashing on the stone, feet pattering by,
The little puppy lies on the road, motionless without a cry.

A car goes whizzing past giving the little one a fright,
The little puppy awakes to the dark lonely night.

Born in a bunch to a healthy dog, this puppy is now alone,
The warmth of a mother gone so early, left to fend on the cold, hard stone.

A tender mouth longing to suckle now finds rotten peels,
Not enough to make him face and dodge the dreaded fatal wheels.

Without a mother, without a home, this puppy wanders around,
He longs to be loved and he longs to be found.

Welcomed into a home when finally his cries were taken heed,
But abandoned once again on being called the impure breed.

All he had wanted was love and a caring home to stay,
So what if he was a pariah, not a pedigree but a stray?

The child of God, an angel face with God even in his name,
Discarded in a pile of rubbish for something more pure, more tame.

In our lives of greedy gains, his wants are nothing at all,
A hand to fondle, a bone to chew, a lap on which to crawl.

Is it that hard to give him love only to get a supply of it never to end,
Is it that hard for us to love someone who we all call our best friend?

PETA Rescues Milee

PETA rescued a baby lamb who was going to be slaughtered in an illegal slaughterhouse in Vakola, Mumbai. She was found crouched in a tiny cage without any food or water, and was visibly shaken. We named her Milee. Milee has now been sent to a sanctuary in Valsad where she will lead a life of freedom.
