We at Farm Sanctuary are often asked by members, “how do you go on?” With such cruelty constantly happening all around us, it can be difficult to persevere as we work alongside you to end animal cruelty.

At the recommendation of some of my colleagues who like me are often sent e-mails asking how we go on, I decided that “Making Hay” was the perfect arena to further explore that question. This subject relates very much to avoiding activist burnout . . .

To start, I asked my fellow bloggers (those from “Making Hay,” “Sanctuary Tails,” “Walk Talk” and “Gene Baur’s Bloggings”) to let us all know how they go on with their animal activism, when animal abuse is rampant and commonplace. Click here to read their answers:

I'M NOT ON YOUR LIST OF BLOGGERS BUT I DECIDED TO POST JUST THE SAME. HOW DO YOU GO ON? ANIMAL CRUELTY WILL NEVER END AND IT IS HEARTBREAKING. YOU FEEL HELPLESS IN SO MANY WAYS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP IT ALL!
BUT THE THING THAT WE AS ANIMAL LOVERS AND PEOPLE W/ VOICES CAN DO IS EDUCATE AS MANY PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON! WE CAN ALSO CONTINUE TO SAVE AS MANY OF THE ANGELS AND LET'S FACE IT, ALL ANIMALS ARE ANGELS AND THEY NEED OUR HELP.

SO IN THE END, WE ALL DO NEED TO GO ON, BE STRONG AND KEEP STRIVING TO OBTAIN A VERY, IMPORTANT GOAL: ENDING ANIMAL CRUELTY! YES, THERE WILL BE TEARS, YES WE CAN'T SAVE THEM ALL BUT IF YOU TAKE A MOMENT TO SIT BACK, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND THINK ABOUT ALL OF THE ANGELS/ANIMALS THAT YOU HAVE SAVED, YOU CAN BE PROUD AND SMILE!

IF YOU GAVE UP OR JUST DIDN'T CARE, THOSE ANIMALS WOULD PROBABLY STILL BE IN DANGER OR DEAD SO YOU'RE DOING GREAT WORK! KEEP IT UP AND PLEASE KEEP SPREADING THE WORD.

YOU ARE STRONG, YOU ARE PROUD, DAMN PROUD!

YOU ARE THEIR VOICES!!!!
