Here are some of the videos I have produced about animal issues. You are welcome to download any of them & use for educational purposes.


Several years ago, In Defense of Animals, an animal advocacy group based here in California, started a campaign to change the perception of pet ownership to one of pet guardianship. The change may seem insignificant but words do have the power to promote a change in attitudes. There is an obvious difference in being a guardian to a pet than to being an owner- the former implies care and responsibility; the latter implies pets are like any other property you own to do with as you please. Here’s a video we made promoting the notion- “Be a Guardian.” Hope you like it!


This touching video was created by the lead singer of Tunafish Jones: Mars McCracken, with music by her husband, Bruce McCracken. It is available to share or download at www.FreeAnimalVideo.org in the “promotional videos section.” Visit www.tunafishjones.com to hear more of their great music or check out one of their live performances! Thank you, Mars & Bruce, for making this beautiful video to help animals! I sobbed!


Recently, for the MTV Awards, Lady Gaga wore an outfit made entirely of raw meat. She said she never meant to offend anyone and her real message is that she isn’t a piece of meat. A cruel & unenvironmental way to send that message, don’t you think? Meanwhile, that same week-end, Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, Mike Ness with their band, Social Distortion and Tony Kanal of No Doubt showed their support for a farm animal sanctuary, Animal Acres, in Southern California and vegetarianism. Here’s a video we made interviewing these talented, compassionate musicians that night at the Los Angeles farm’s Gala on Sept. 11, 2010.

    About
    As anyone who knows me knows, I have a lot of opinions and I need a place to express them. I want to make it creative, interesting, and personal. I want to share what I love and what I despise. I am interested in politics, the arts, environmental issues, human and animal issues and deeply appreciate humor. This is a work in progress, just like myself.

    Quote Of The Month
    ‎"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." Harper Lee from To Kill A Mockingbird in honor of the book's 50th Anniversary
