WON'T YOU BE TEJA'S VALENTINE--FUNDRAISER BASH!!!
Ottawa Animal Defense League
Teja's Animal Refuge is a little bit of heaven nestled in the
countryside near Alexandria,
Ontario—that is in vital need of
your saintly support.
Teja’s was founded
in 1992 by Nicole Joncas. In that time, Teja's has been home to hundreds of
abused, abandoned and neglected animals, including pigs, chickens, ducks,
geese, turkeys, cows, horses, dogs and cats, all rescued for and by Teja’s. And
when Nicole can’t take in animals, she helps find loving homes for them by
networking with other rescues.
But running a refuge--feeding, caring
for, and housing all those animals--is expensive. Some Teja’s animals weigh
hundreds of pounds and eat vast quantities of food. Most Teja’s animals suffer
the wear and tear of factory farm and other abuse, and need costly vet care.
And the housing, grounds and other infrastructure of the sanctuary need
constant maintenance.
So let’s all come together and support this
wonderful woman and animal refuge, by having a blast at the Won’t You Be Teja’s
Valentine Fundraiser Bash, on Sunday February 17 at the (Brass Monkey)! See

"Justice, in which are included mercy, or compassion, obviously refers to sense and feeling. Now, is the essence of justice divisible? Can there be one kind of justice for men and another for brutes? Or is feeling in them a different thing to what it is in ourselves? Is not a beast produced by the same rule, and in the same order of generation with ourselves? Is not his body nourished by the same food, hurt by the same injuries, his mind actuated by the same passions and affections which animate the human breast; and does not he, also, at last, mingle his dust with ours, and in like manner surrender up the vital spark to the aggregate, or fountain of intelligence? Is this spark, or soul, to perish because it chanced to belong to a beast? Is it to become annihilate? Tell me, learned philosophers, how that may possibly happen?"
