I am inspired by people like Peter and Danae that stand up for what they believe in.

I just want to send a public "thanks!" to Peter Young and Danae Kelley. Hearing their stories and reading about their unwavering and strong principles, I am truly inspired.

Danae, by refusing to participate in the corrupt system known as grand juries you have shown your commitment to the animals and to activists all over the world. I commend you for that and wish you the best. There are thousands of people that support you in this, even if they are not vocal about it. May you continue to find the strength to resist...

Peter, your actions for the animals inspire activists everywhere. I cannot imagine how difficult it is to be a hostage of the state, but I am reminded of words by Allison Lance-Watson when she was captured and jailed for several days trying to release dolphins from an enclosure in Japan - "it was nothing compared to what hell animals face everyday." I am not trying to lessen the severity of your situation but hopefully you get my meaning...I hope you are able to keep your spirits up and know that you also have thousands of supporters.

And to all others out there resisting grand juries, doing actions for animals or the earth, and keeping your mouth shut, HUGE thanks to you too!!

For the wild,
