Compassion for all living things needs to be practiced to save our Planet...
Jane Goodall
"AND IF WE DARE TO LOOK INTO THOSE EYES, THEN WE SHALL FEEL THEIR SUFFERING IN OUR HEARTS.
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THAT APPEAL AND FELT IT IN THEIR HEARTS.
ALL AROUND THE WORLD THERE IS AN AWAKENING OF UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSION, AND UNDERSTANDING THAT REACHES OUT TO HELP THE SUFFERING ANIMALS IN THEIR VANISHING HOMELANDS.
THAT EMBRACES HUNGRY, SICK, AND DESPERATE HUMAN BEINGS, PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING WHILE THE FORTUNATE AMONG US HAVE SO MUCH MORE THAN WE NEED.
AND IF, ONE BY ONE, WE HELP THEM, THE HURTING ANIMALS, THE DESPERATE HUMANS, THEN TOGETHER WE SHALL ALLEVIATE SO MUCH OF THE HUNGER, FEAR, AND PAIN IN THE WORLD.
TOGETHER WE CAN BRING CHANGE TO THE WORLD, GRADUALLY REPLACING FEAR AND HATRED WITH COMPASSION AND LOVE. LOVE FOR ALL LIVING BEINGS."

Andrews vs. Lessard cornermen talk strategy for Friday's fight at the Shaw
Last Updated: May 6, 2010 10:46pm
Sometimes it’s not just the fighter who wins the fight.
With all other weapons making it pretty much a pick ’em proposition, the outcome of Friday night’s Canadian Boxing Federation junior middleweight title rematch between champion Kris Andrews and challenger Anthony Lessard might just come down to which guy has the more competent corner.
The main man in Andrews’s ear is Sean Bogart, who also happens to be the champ’s cousin. Running Lessard’s corner is Ron Pasek, a former junior middleweight of some renown who hung up his gloves in 2003 and has since become a highly respected coach and trainer.
Both have impeccable credentials when it comes to the nuts and bolts of cornering, so, like their respective fighters, there’s not a lot to pick between them.
But in a match of this magnitude, there’s so much more involved than simply applying the grease or making sure you have enough gauze. A title rematch often comes down to who can best navigate the psychological minefield posed by the ebbs and flows of those 10 gruelling rounds.
“You can’t go wrong with family,” Andrews joked. “I trust Sean 100% … and I know how much he trusts and cares about me. We’re blood.
“When he tells me something, I know it’s from the heart. He sees things that I don’t, and vice versa. I think that’s why we have such a good relationship. There’s 100% trust on both sides.”
Lessard is equally enthused about what Pasek brings to his corner.
“After I lost (the first fight) to Kris, I sat down and did some hard thinking about the mistakes I made — and there were lots,” Lessard admitted.
“One of the biggest was that my conditioning wasn’t where it should have been. I was in great shape, but that’s not the same as being in great condition.
“Another mistake was not throwing enough body punches. Against a tall, skinny guy like Andrews, that’s the best way to slow him down.
“I could’ve brought in a trainer from somewhere else, maybe a guy who’s worked with (other) champions, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized the guy I needed was right here in my own backyard.
“From the moment I started working with Ronnie, it was like we’d been together for years.”
Bogart’s calm demeanour mirrors the champion’s fighting style.
Andrews rarely gets flustered in the ring, even in the midst of wild exchanges.
Likewise, Lessard’s swarming, take-three-to-land-two strategy is eerily similar to what Pasek so courageously showcased in the ring over his 11-year career.
“My fighter’s gonna win this time; we’ve broken him down and rebuilt him for this rematch,” said Pasek.
“Anthony’s always been a guy who goes in there bombing, and he did that pretty good in their first fight … but there was a lot of wasted energy, too. That’s what tired him out.
“You’ll see a big difference this time. He’s conditioned to go all-out for 10 fast rounds while still throwing a lot of punches,” said Pasek. “But he won’t be missing many.”
Bogart will only say that Andrews is “more ready than ever” to defend his title.
“Training in California for his last fight was a real eye-opener,” Bogart said of Andrews’s eight-round loss on the undercard of Bernard Hopkins vs. Roy Jones Jr. last month in Las Vegas.
“Every round in the gym was a fight for survival against world-class contenders. Those were real wars, and we had him working on just 30 seconds between rounds. You can’t put a price tag on that kind of experience.”
