<p> My red rose grows instantly, mystically, over Bach’s Mass in B Minor or Verdi stains the soul with his sacred Agnus Dei.<br /><br />Every magical trip to Lal Bagh is ruined when on the way I see the millions of chickens cooped up in cages waiting to be fed to chicken lovers! It takes a while to delight in purple water lilies with their shadows silvering water, and a dragon fly finally agreeing to pose upon a rose white as rice.<br /><br />But only an Ingrid Newkirk could feel the red rose of her heart beating over the death of a mouse! We all scream and screech over rats and mice and find the deadliest poisons to kill them. But the President of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals PETA, in her book ''Making Kind Choices" shows us "everyday ways to enhance your life through earth- and animal-friendly living'', how to deal kindly with mice!<br /><br />This amazing book is crammed with environmentally sound advice and ofcourse the expected tips for putting your heart out for animals, birds, butterflies, plants and ourselves.

Body Shop and Paul Mitchell Systems have never used animals at all. The Body Shop also supports native industries in local indigenous communites, like cooperatives run by Amazonian Indians who have lost their land. A PETA undercover agent had photographed on film how rabbits, mice and other animals were imprisoned in stocks, heavy collars and then shaving foam was sprayed into their eyes, dandruff shampoo was forced down their throats, irritants were left on their shaved skin to burn through to their flesh, and many of them died!<br /><br />This chapter tells you how to bathe without guilt!
