Woohoo!

Today was an excellent day.

The Farmyard Four loved my plan and we have all even agreed on Step One and our main goal and Carmel said she had heard of something called a Mission Statement and so we talked back and forth about what our Mission Statement should be and we came up with this:

We value all life. We understand that this means that some living creatures eat other living creatures to survive and we know that all animals everywhere must do their best to balance their own self-preservation along with fulfilling their role in the ecosystem of the planet. We want to address the issue of balance and educate the people of the world of the current imbalance many animals face due to the meat-eating habits that have evolved over time. We aim to seek out alternatives and present and educate people about them with the goal of reducing the amount of meat eaten per person on an annual basis.

I do not think I have ever written anything so smart and I was taking notes on my cellphone while Petunia was talking because oh boy she really got on a roll with our ideas and I think we really have something here.

We have all agreed to sleep on this for a couple of days and revisit it before we move to Step Two but I have to say that right now I am very excited by all of this and I think they are too because at the end of the meeting the four of us sent out a big Woohoo! of our own and I am pretty sure Barry could hear us all the way from inside the barn.
