Dear Mr. Winograd, I have been following you for a long time. I have been involved in rescuing street dogs since 1984. I used to work for a research scientist as her secretary, but once i realized what was happening in the laboratory, I left and made a vow to spend the rest of my life helping animals. That's when I began rescuing street dogs. Also, for 6 years now (I wish I'd done this sooner), I am a vegan once I realized the horrors of killing living beings whether it's done in the hellish slaughterhouse or on a farm. I am now totally against all of it.

Mr. Winograd, you inspire me. Knowing that you are still fighting the good fight. It is heartbreaking how most humans are simply not listening. I'm not sure anything will change. It feels like we're 'blowin' in the wind', like Bob Dylan said so many years ago...However, I will never stop speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves and I know you shall continue as well. I just wanted to say thank you...

Thank you Mr. Winograd. It's not that I haven't seen kindness in humans. Just not enough. Even the land we live in was taken illegally and aggressively from the Indigenous people and still we have not made amends for that. And the same for our treatment of non humans. I want to see your point; I want to see your wisdom. And yes, I have seen some changes. But the numbers of beings tortured and slaughtered daily all over the world (and even in India!!), 200 million plus every day just in the U.S.! In 2020, number of slaughtered cattle and buffaloes for meat for India was 35,800 thousand heads. Number of slaughtered cattle and buffaloes for meat of India increased from 1,647 thousand heads in 1971 to 35,800 thousand heads in 2020 growing at an average annual rate of 8.67%. And on and on, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. I just cannot see a way forward...So sorry..But I will continue to speak up for them....
