Prayer Circle for Animals Weekly Update from Judy Carman
December 5, 2016

Our prayers for all animals continue to circle the earth, to uplift humanity's consciousness, and to bless the animals themselves. Thank you for joining people around the world who are praying this prayer in many different languages but all with the same love:

Our Daily Noon Prayer
"COMPASSION ENCIRCLES THE EARTH FOR ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE"

And Our Prayer for the Week from Judy Carman

EXOTIC ANIMAL SHOWS ARE LOSING GROUND. The Los Angeles City Council is considering banning the use of exotic animals in the city limits which would effectively eliminate circuses with exotic animals from performing there. Meanwhile, two beluga whales, who were incarcerated and forced to perform at the Vancouver Aquarium in Canada for decades, died. They were mother and daughter. Daughter, Qila, showed severe signs of psychological distress during her life and died prematurely. Her mother died shortly after that, no doubt, from unbearable grief. Sea World has caused the untimely deaths of over 100 whales in the last 50 years. These deaths and the torture of circus animals show the world once again, the dark and ugly cruelty of industries that claim to entertain.

THIS WEEK’S PRAYER FOR HUMANITY TO AWAKEN TO THE ABSURDITY OF ANIMAL “ENTERTAINMENT.” Caring people have been lied to for centuries and programmed into believing that the industry of animal “entertainment” is kind to animals. The purveyors of these performances know the truth behind the scenes, but their profits have caused them to turn a blind eye, mind and heart to the brutality of their actions. But the truth is being revealed as more and more animals suffer and die. This week, in honor of Qila and her mother, let us hold tightly to this truth. Let us shine a light on it in every possible way—through spiritual work and through actions. Let us know with our whole hearts and with absolute conviction, that this barbaric behavior is coming to an end. People are waking up and realizing that circuses and aquariums are not fun or entertaining. They are prisons for innocent animals who long to be free. And let us feel and anchor this magnificent shift that is taking place in human hearts--from blindly believing animals are ours to use, to an entirely new mindset of living in kinship with all beings. Many people who have or will soon stop supporting these places of torture are also feeling a shift in heart and mind about animals whom they have been eating. As we stand together and pray and visualize together, may we go forward with confidence in the beauty of this vision. May the music of freedom and truth be the entertainment and the joy we have all been seeking.

As always, I send my thanks to each of you, dear Prayer Circle members, for

May Divine Wisdom, the animals’ grace, and our true hearts guide us toward ahimsa, peace, liberation, and lovingkindness for all. As always, 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.

With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy Carman, and greetings from Will, Madeleine, Tara and the Circle of Compassion team
