The Story of Adam & Eve's Pets


   The Story of  Adam & Eve's Pets 

Adam  and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you  walked with us every
day. Now we do not see you  any more. We are lonesome here, and it is  difficult
for us to remember how much you love  us.'

And God said, I will create a  companion for you that will be with you and who will  be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will  love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of  how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be,  this new companion will accept you as you are and  will love you as I do, in spite of  yourselves.'

And God created a new  animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.  

And it was a good animal and God was  pleased.
 
 


And  the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve  and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said,  'Lord, I have already named all the animals in the  Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new  animal.'

And God said, 'I have created  this new animal to be a reflection of my love  for
you, his name will be a reflection of my own  name, and you will call him DOG.' 




And  Dog lived with Adam and Eve and
was a companion  to them and loved them.

And they were  comforted.

And God was pleased.  

And Dog was content and wagged his  tail.



After  a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the  Lord and said, 'Lord, Adam and Eve have become  filled with pride. They strut and preen like  peacocks and they believe they are worthy of  adoration. Dog has indeed taught them  that  they are loved, but perhaps too well.'   
And  God said, I will create for them a companion who  will be with them and who will see them as they are.  The companion will remind them of their  limitations,
so they will know that they are not  always worthy of adoration.'

And God  created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.   




And  Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed  into Cat's eyes,  they were reminded that they were not the supreme  beings.

 


And  Adam and Eve learned humility.   
And  they were greatly improved.  





And  God was pleased.
And  Dog was happy.  





And  Cat . . . 




c
didn't  give a shit one way or the other.

Dear Members & Supporters,

Open your eyes to their suffering, turn up your speakers and take just two minutes to watch our inspiring 'All-Ireland March and Rally Against Cruelty to Animals' promotional video that we are asking our army of compassionate followers to forward onto family, friends, and co-workers to encourage them to attend our biggest event ever being held in Cork City. Click here to watch, then forward and be sure to keep the post up on Facebook until the big dayAlready we are receiving possibly our biggest response yet to our now fourth rally which is aiming to highlight Ireland's pathetic 1911 animal welfare bill which does shamefullynothing to protect animals in this country. This rally will also highlight all acts of animal abuse, so feel free to make a poster, placard or banner for an issue you feel most strongly about. It's time for modern laws that will protect animals, and it's time for legislation to stamp out heartbreaking abuses that are currently legal in this country. 

MARK YOUR DIARY NOW AND STAND WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST ANIMAL ABUSE IN IRELAND 

When: Saturday, October 29th, 2011 @ 1.30pm Sharp
Where: Grand Parade Plaza, Cork City

As with all of ARAN's events, they are held in a peaceful, professional manner and aim to generate as much widespread public support as is possible. The easiest thing for anyone to do is to turn your head and look away, but on Saturday, October 29th, we're asking our supporters from every corner of Ireland to please take just one day out and stand with us.

Thank you for all that you are doing to help animals, together we are unmasking the face of animal abuse and will one day bring about a society where animals will finally be respected and left alone.
