Journey well my dear friend. Your legacy lives on in the hearts of human and animal friends you helped.

In memory of Lindie Prinsloo.

Lindie Prinsloo, the late Founder of Have a Heart Spay and Neuter shared this with me:

"There are so many ways to help, big and small. Whether you donate N$10 or an old towel, you are actively making a difference in the life of a township animal. Teach your children to make a difference, to live less materialistic and care about the world around us. All the problems you see is a direct result of humans. The only way to solve them is to live how we as humans were intended to live; as guardians of nature and everything in it.

One person can make a difference and everyone should try. – John F. Kennedy

Imagine the change if we all start to live responsibly ❤ "

WORD

from Petro Diamant

"Animals are not mere resources for our use and exploitation. They are sentient beings, each with their own rich spectrum of emotions and intelligence. While humans often perceive themselves as superior to other species, animals demonstrate profound intelligence and communicate their love language,  feelings in ways that we, as humans, may never fully comprehend.

It is a choice. Choosing compassion and kindness towards non-human animals is a reflection of our humanity. Instead of viewing them as objects for our benefit, we have the opportunity to offer them friendship and treat them as friends. By extending friendship, love, and compassion to non-human animals, we open ourselves to profound connections and mutual respect. 

True friendships can bloom unexpectedly, even with species different from us. Your most cherished friend, ally, or teacher might very well be a non-human companion. Embracing this perspective fosters a world where empathy transcends species boundaries, enriching our lives and honoring the intrinsic value of every living being. " - Petro Diamant
