It's good news for God's Creation every time humanity takes a step toward a loving, compassionate and harmonious world. The brutal slaughter of horses came to an end in the state of Illinois thanks to the pressure of animal advocate groups and compassionate consumers. Hopefully, more people will realize that the killing of a cow, a pig or a chicken is no different than the killing of a horse. All of God's animals deserve to live a life free from human exploitation. A plant-based diet is a powerful witness to Christ's love, compassion and peace.
