Một bài essay rất hay về Love for Animals trên EssayEdge.com, em đọc xong thấy xúc động lắm , post lên cho mọi người cùng xem :
Was it Jane Goodall''s In the Shadow of Man that changed my mind? How about the rush of excitement surrounding Earth Day in junior high? Was it my high school science teacher who revealed the truth about endangered species, habitat loss, acid rain, and ozone layer depletion?
When I look back and try to pinpoint the moment when I started to see things differently, too many events come to mind. I know that it did not happen in one day. From the time I saw David Suzuki talk on deforestation and our ecological footprint, to the time I euthanized my first litter of kittens because of pet overpopulation, my life has been a process of continual learning and discovery. Not all the lessons have been pleasant. Sometime while studying the harmful effects of large-scale farming during college, I realized that I needed to do more than merely recycle cola bottles, avoid aerosol cans, and make sure that my animals were neutered. I needed to do more.
This process of discovery began in rural Canada, where I spent the first six years of my life as an only child. My pets were my constant companions. I played make-believe not with dolls or with other little girls, but with the barn cats who were nice enough to tolerate the dresses and baby carriages. My sheep dog, Charlie, treated me as one of his flock, herding me from place to place as he saw fit. When my sister and cousins were born, they became part of my circle of friends, but Charlie and the other animals were never excluded from our games. I simply assumed everyone loved animals as much as I did.
My realization that this was not true came in the fourth grade when I witnessed a harrowing act of animal cruelty. Two older children with a sadistic streak tied one of my classmates to a tree and tortured his kitten in front of him. I still remember the description of the torture from the newspaper--the kitten''s eyes were gouged out, and he had sticks shoved through his body. I cried for weeks. I do not know what happened to the two boys, but I suspect that the incident was treated as yet another case of "boys will be boys."
I have since encountered numerous other cases of atrocities committed against animals, especially through my work at an SPCA. In disbelief, I have witnessed the results of dogs being dragged behind snowmobiles, cats left out to freeze, horses starved to death, and innumerable puppies and kittens being thrown away like so much garbage. Determined to help stop the abuse, I became involved with activism and policy, assisting in fundraising and letter writing campaigns to protest the unfair treatment of animals.
While earning my B.Sc. in Agriculture, I learned that the family farm is an antiquated and outmoded ideal. Farming has become big business. The result of large-scale industrial farming is the overcrowding of animals in inhumane con***ions, excessive antibiotic and pesticide use, and devastating clearcutting of the rainforest. Knowing that I had to contribute to environmental protection on a personal level, I made the decision to eat only free range meat. Limiting my meat consumption proved no easy task, particularly since free range meat is often hard to obtain in small quantities and is prohibitively expensive for most college students. Finally, convinced by the literature on animal welfare and the environmental movement, I decided to give vegetarianism a try. Giving up meat was perhaps the most difficult thing I have ever done, yet I knew that proper policy-making had to start with personal sacrifices. It took me two full years to master my cravings and become a lacto-ovo vegetarian.
Vegetarianism complemented my ever-increasing interest in animal rights and environmentalism. From the time I was a little girl, I have always known that I wanted to be a veterinarian. Nonetheless, my newfound concern for policy suddenly opened up several previously unconsidered career paths. At first, I found the abundance of possibilities daunting. Not wanting to take a year off school, I decided to enroll in a few graduate courses to see where they led me. After taking ad***ional classes and time off to work and regroup, I finally came across a poster for a master''s degree program in Animals and Public Policy. I thought it was too good to be true; the program seemed to match my background, interests, and aspirations perfectly. I had no idea that such a program actually existed.
Although I have not renounced my ultimate ambition of becoming a veterinarian, I know that XXX''s program will allow me to develop expertise in an area that is personally important to me. My interest in animal welfare is not restricted to helping individual animals--I believe that I can complement my veterinary practice by opening people''s eyes and by helping them remember the wonder they felt as children when they saw their first giraffe. We have become dangerously blasbout the ecological diversity surrounding us, and I believe that, in order to preserve what is left, cases of animal abuse must be treated as serious crimes. By understanding and shaping animal welfare policy, I believe that I will be able to leverage my knowledge of veterinary medicine to make a powerful case in defense of animal rights. I believe that one person can make a difference, and I have no doubt that XXX''s program is the most efficient way for me to attain my objective.

PC nghĩ những người ăn chay ko chỉ giới hạn ở box Ẩm thực này đâu. Nếu mọi người cảm thấy thíc và muốn phát triển, ko chỉ ở topic nhỏ bé này, thì nên xin TTVN thành lập một box Ăn chay. Nếu tìm được số người đồng ý trên 50, sẽ được thành lập ngay ý mà. Thấy 1 topic này thôi, tù túng quá.Cũng phải quảng bá cho việc ăn chay chứ.

Mọi người năm mới vui vẻ, ai đồng ý về kế hoạch thành lập box ăn chay trong năm nay thì giơ tay nào

Chị đồng ý, vote cho Vũ 5 sao rồi nhé!
Chúc mừng năm mới!

HÍc lại thêm một box mới ra đời....
Nhưg trướctiên tớ nghĩ các cậu phải có phương hướng hoạt động cái đã... chẳng nhẽ cứ lập hội rồi đi off hoài để "ăn chay"
Nếu lập hội có khả năng sẽ bị loãng bài hơn là để một topic mà làm ăn phát đạt...
