The title of this book, Bewildered by Loss … Invisible and Forgotten Lives of Animals in the Face of Our Indifference, is chosen carefully. It captures the inability of animals to understand the loss of what they hold dear: family, freedom and dignity.
Context: For so many years, I was unaware of the thoughtless and inexcusable brutality inflicted on animals by the practices of humans. Writings of animal welfare proponents such as Peter Singer, Philip Wollen, Mark Bekoff, Jane Goodall, and others have had a huge impact on me. I admire the lives they lead and the beliefs they hold. Bewildered by Loss is dedicated to Jo-Anne McArthur, photojournalist and founder of We Animals, whose images powerfully capture the atrocities to which she has born witness. She devotes her life to raising awareness to such sadness and the need for change.
Purpose: Bewildered by Loss is “not-for-profit” and is self-published. I wish to inform others about the hopelessness and helplessness of so many animals in my hope to improve the lives of these sentient beings. All proceeds go to support the rescue and care of animals who have been sadly deprived of kindness.
Author: I have self-published two previous books both hand-illustrated and hand-bound: My ABC Book … Wild Creatures! Weird Facts! and, We Are All Animals, in my wish to introduce to children the truths of the animal world around us.
