Society Promoting the Equality of Wildlife

Hello, and welcome to SPEW! My name is Robby, I am sixteen years old, and I really care about the issue of animal cruelty and endangerment. As a Harry Potter nerd I thought it would be fun to incorporate "SPEW" into my cause which leads me to my next point; "wildlife" the "W" in Spew isn't exclusive. I will also gladly fight for the rights of domestic animals. I believe that animals deserve a chance and left to their own devices they don't have a single ounce of hope against humans. I will try and start reblogs and things and hopefully I can gain enough followers/patrons to make a difference. Every single penny I raise will go to a cause (which will be announced on a page I am working on) and they will vary. I will link to my personal tumblr in the about page if you'd like to personally contact me or verify that this is indeed not a scam. Also, along with the donations I hope to receive, I hope to sell knit/crochet or painted goods and also donate proceeds to the cause! A link will be provided to give you an idea.Thank you very much for reading, I hope you'll donate-- let's make a difference.

Elephants have been known to die of broken hearts if a mate dies. They refuse to eat and will lay down, shedding tears until they starve to death. They refuse all human help.

Scientists are beginning to believe that animals do have emotions and that their feelings may be more intense and unfiltered than our own. Emotion rises from the old brain, the limbic system, which birds and reptiles as well as dogs, humans, and other mammals share. Humans have additional brain structures and symbolic language to process our feelings and a complex array of psychological defense mechanisms that allay or soften the impact of our emotions. We repress, deny, subjugate, dissociate, and use all kinds of conscious and unconscious machinations to separate ourselves from our feelings, but animals have no such recourse, so their emotions are likely to be raw and strong. In fact, this may be one of the reasons we find them so attractive: they wear their hearts on their sleeves, so to speak.

People seem to deny the existence of animal emotions so that they can continue to justify inhumane treatment and exploitation and avoid the fact that our actions have a deep emotional impact on our fellow beings.
