Like Darth Vader they have gone to the dark side from raising money and consciousness about the plights of animals to using animals to elevate themselves. Along the way they cause harm because they strip away the boundaries of decency. Ridicule and pointing out the harm helps but for those waiting for permission to be cruel, that permission is granted. I guess we just must believe that most persons are kind, that there is a full measure of kindness in the world and know there will always be some malignant beings among us. And we will out run them. Most of all thank you for being there for the good, day after day after day. It can be tough some days. Still keep the light on shining through the window.
