Aw, yes, to take a pause and be present. Doing just that today.

I guess Laura that he is doing the best that he can to bring some light to the issue but I totally agree with you too. His paintings are incredible and I love the nightlights.

Unfortunately, you do not understand what we are doing. I painted the 5500 to wake people up and get them engaged for change and to create art products to fund rescue groups across the nation and save lives, and the addition of an interactive working space will allow further ways to fund the animals, from tourism, working with schools, conferences and much more.

The shelters and rescues have to waste their time doing fundraisers that bring so little, as there is no other organization that has been created to solely fund them all...until we set out to change that.

Please take the time to learn about us before making such misinformed statements, and remember that, kids are the future for all of these animals and without planting real seeds of compassion and getting them actively engaged in a hands on way, tomorrow's leaders will keep killing, just like today's.
