McDonald’s Latest Humane Washing Promise.  The animal killing giant has pledged  to get 100% of their eggs eventually from “aviary systems,” which they will call “cage free.”  With their business declining, they are responding to public pressure for less cruelty.  The New York Times described these systems as buildings in which “chickens [can] move freely up and down tiers and among nesting areas.” But we know that to produce many billions of eggs each year, there is no way to properly care for each hen and that, in the end each one will be cruelly killed when she no longer produces enough eggs. So, on the one hand, we must celebrate that human consciousness is rising and becoming aware of the cruelty in food.  On the other hand, we must face the fact that industry will deceive the public and behave as if imprisoning hens, stealing their eggs, and killing them can be done humanely.

This Week’s Prayer/Focused Thought for Humanity to Think Not Just Outside the Cage But Also Outside the Farm Itself.  We give thanks for the divine and uplifting understanding that animals are our friends, not our food.  It has given us such great joy to be able to feel our transcendent kinship with all life.  Divine Intelligence and Love that dwells in and animates all living beings, we feel your peaceful, healing presence.  We are so grateful that human consciousness has risen to an understanding that cruelty to animals is wrong. The next stage to which we must all rise is the even deeper understanding that animals are not ours to use in any way.  This week, we send our thoughts and prayers out on wings of love to all who can hear them—we cry out to all people--animals are our brothers and sisters.  We do not own them.  Let us never use them or each other, and let us live in sacred peace with them from this day onward and forever.

As always, with tears of gratitude, I send my thanks to each of you, dear Prayer Circle members, for joining this circle of compassion and shining the Light of Truth for all to see, so that one day soon, all beings will live in peace together.

May compassion and love reign over all the earth for all beings everywhere. 
Thank you all for your devotion to truth, love, liberation and peace for all beings.
With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy Carman, and greetings from Will, Madeleine, Tara and the Circle of Compassion team
