Growing up on land, I spent hours each day with animals untethered . . . especially the horses. I leared to understand the breathing patterns, mannerisms, movements, individual quirks, fears and motivations. For the most part, when I rode, I rode bareback, with a simple halter and rope reins and we learned to move as one. The peace of the horses spirit has greatly influenced my spirit and who I have become. You will not be sorry to have experienced this video.
Blessings!

Today we are witness to literally millions of sentient beings being taken from their environments against their will, they are: exploited, mistreated, abused, tortured, maimed and killed. According to Animal Welfare Institute (ADI), EVERY HOUR, some 1,000,000 chickens, 13,000 pigs and 4,000 cows are slaughtered for human consumption in the United States. It is a process that takes place far from public view, and one that few know very much about. Although all sentient beings feel in equality, there is certainly no equality in the manner in which the human species treats the animal species. I cannot stand it anymore. I have decided to lend voice to innocent, living beings who cannot speak for themselves, thus this blog was created.
IFEEL, a hip-hop/rap artist has appeared on the animal rights scene with fury. He pulls no punches, minces no words and does not hold back one iota of passion nor intention in the delivery of his message. He works from his heart and soul using the tools of his talent, his words and his influence. I admire his music and his honesty. The lyrics to “Why I Do It” are bold and without apology, as all of our words should be as we strive to right this gross injustice.
Blessings on those who lend voice to living beings who cannot speak for themselves!

WHY I DO IT ~LYRICS BY IFEEL
“I DO IT WITH A PEN, NOT A KNIFE OR A GUN
I TALK THE TALK, I DON’T WALK I F*CKIN RUN
AND IF I COULD I WOULD BURN IT ALL LIKE A SUN
ASHES TO ASHES – THAT DAY WILL COME
I DO IT COS IT’S SAD TO SEE WHAT WE’VE BECOME
I DO IT COS THERE IS MUCH MORE TO BE DONE
I DO IT FOR YALL WHO CARE – F*CK MASS APPEAL
IF YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART THEN YOU KNOW THAT IT’S REAL
I DO IT COS THE MONEY RIPS THE HEART OUT WITH STEEL
SO THEY CANNOT HEAR THE PAIN AND THE FEAR THAT THEY FEEL
I DO IT COS IT’S SO DAMN EASY TO KILL
BREED IT FEED IT CUT IT SHIP IT –
SERVE A HAPPY MEAL
~~~
~~~
I DO IT COS THEY
STEAL EM BEAT EM BREED EM
AND BLEED EM TREAT EM
LIKE TRASH –
THROW EM AWAY WHEN THEY DON’T NEED EM
~~~
THAT’S SICK –
NO COMPROMISE (NOOOOO)
NOTHIN BUT THE FREEDOM
YES WE GETTIN EVEN –
NOTHIN BUT THE FREEDOM (NOOOOO)
~~~
THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE FAME, THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE BITCHES
THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE FAME, THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE BITCHES
IT’S REALLY SIMPLE, LET ME
SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES
THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT
~~~

I DO IT FOR THE CALF IN BOX 44
I DO IT FOR THE CALF IN BOX 44
HE CAN ONLY STAND UP AND FALL ON THE FLOOR
I DO IT FOR THE DOG SKINNED ALIVE FOR FUR RABBIT IN A BAG
– SCARED –
WAITIN TO BE SERVED
LITTLE PIGS WHOSE CRIES WILL NEVER BE HEARD
I DO IT FOR THE MICE AND EVERY SINGLE BIRD
I DO IT FOR THE CHICKEN WITH A HEAD CUT OFF
EVERY SLICE F*CKIN BURNS TILL THE HEAD COMES OFF
I DO IT FOR THE HORSE CHOPPED UP FOR A SAUSAGE
IT’S SAD HOW SOME PEOPLE NEVER LEARNED NOT TO BE SAVAGE
I DO IT FOR MY DOGS AND CATS
IN EVERY JAIL
WITH NO CHANCE OF BAIL –
IN THIS MAN MADE HELL
I DO IT FOR THE CHICKS GETTING GROUND UP ALIVE
COWS IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE TERRIFIED BEFORE THEY DIE
I DO IT FOR THE DUCK GETTIN STUFFED TO DEATH
I’LL DO IT TILL I DIE – TILL MY LAST F*CKIN BREATH AHHHHH
~~~
THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE FAME, THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE BITCHES
THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE FAME, THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE BITCHES
IT’S REALLY SIMPLE, LET ME
SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES
THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT
~~~
~~~
I DO IT COS I’M PISSED AND SICK OF ALL THE LIES
I DO IT COS I’M PISSED AND SICK OF ALL THE LIES
I DO IT COS I CRY WHEN I LOOK INTO THOSE EYES
I DO IT FOR THE DOLPHIN SLICED UP ALIVE
I DO IT FOR THE PITBULLS FIGHTIN TILL THEY DIE
I DO IT FOR THE NAMELESS BODY ON THE PRODUCTION LINE
EVERYDAY A MASSACRE – PAIN IS HEINOUS ALL THE TIME
I DO IT COS I HEAR EM SCREAMIN WHEREVER THEY HIDE EM
AND EVEN IF THEY SHIP EM AND FLY EM – WE STILL GONNA FIND EM
~~~
I DO IT FOR THE BIRDS IN THE BATTERY CAGES
I DO IT FOR THE MODERN-DAY SLAVES IN THE CAGES
CHIMP IN A SEAT WITH A SKULL CRACKED OPEN
CAT WITH NO SLEEP WITH A MOUTH WIDE OPEN
I DO IT COS OF WEAK-ASS HUNTING LITTLE BITCHES
BIG GUNS
NO BALLS
SNAPPIN THEIR LITTLE PICTURES
KILL EM WHILE THEY CAN –
TILL WE GET SOME GLITCHES
F*CK THE BANDAID –
WE GONNA NEED SOME STITCHES

THIS IS WHY I DO IT

In factories, thousands of baby chicks are ground up alive.

Jessica’s life here on earth has made a profound positive difference. She is powerful from the ‘nother places, where her spirit continues to make a profound difference. How wonderful that her family, friends and others are honoring her life by honoring the life of others; these innocent horses, that she loves, are not only being spared one-life-at-a-time but a MIGHTY message is being sent worldwide that influences the hearts, minds and spirits of man’kind’ that empathy and compassion are the keys to universal well being.
I love the ancient Native American belief of “The Bridge” and find it so comforting :

Blessings on Jessica’s sweet, innocent spirit. Blessings on Jessica’s family who in the face of grieving her loss, honor her. Blessings on the spirits of the horses that have passed on …also at the hands of men. Blessings on all who work to promoted respect, kindness and peace for all living beings.
Thank you for your post. I believe it touched the hearts of many today. It certainly touched my heart. Thank you for all that you do to raise public awareness of the need for protection of the innocent lives of the horse spirits. I will post a link to this on “The Animal Spirits”on Facebook today.
