Some very, very nice words about the fanmail and gifts. It's also wonderful that she does so much to help the animals and that she stands up for their rights. However, it would be much better if Doris (and everyone else) just stopped eating meat. Pigs, cows and chickens may not be as gracious as horses, but they are still living beings that are capable of experiencing pain and fear. Pigs are even among the smartest species on the planet. Of course I can understand why people choose to eat meat and I know I feel different about animals than most people do, but I hope that someday the animals on farms will at least be treated better. Not as production units, but as living beings.
Again, I truly appreciate Doris' appeal for the horses. Her love for animals is one of the reasons why I admire her so much.
