Hi from Maria :)

My passion is music, animal welfare/rights & veg & vegan education. People sometimes say welfare is different to rights, I say the animals don't know the difference and without rights there is no way to ensure good welfare, suffering is suffering whatever box you put the language in, so let's try to stop all cruelty to people and animals. At the moment I'm learning about the planet & the environment & the need to protect all species from exploitation.

Re the films uploaded to our channel, well as you can see I'm a complete beginner with a camera!

I create films with windows movie maker so I can practice and hopefully get better haha!! I find the whole process very difficult, especially editing, but I'm fascinated by art in all genres. The youtube community is great fun to be part of and we've made some good friends here and I always learn something new watching films from all over the world.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to view and comment on my amateur offerings, art is a unique form of expression allowing deeper feelings and emotions to be shared and that's what interests me.

Thanks for stopping by & catch up soon!

A station to share 'Keep The Green Alive !!!!' a web based initative raising awareness of the earth's need for renewable energy sources.

SOS Galgos and Greyhounds
30 videos
A station to raise awareness for precious galgos and greyhounds, many of whom are cast aside when they are no longer wanted or needed.

For more information please google Scooby Medina, SOS Galgos, Greyhound Compassion and GreytExploitations, there is a wealth of information online about how you can get involved and help to be a voice for these lovely dogs.

Thank you
Maria xx
Man's best friend, is this how we should treat you?
72 videos
I created this playlist to share videos I have viewed of dog rescue and especially the plight of galgos (Spanish greyhounds) - it is vital the public is educated regarding the heinous cruelty inflicted on stray dogs world wide, millions of dogs are discarded like rubbish every year, they are starved, beaten, poisoned and left to die in the most miserable circumstances. The phrase 'you wouldn't treat a dog like that' is ironic to the max because dogs ARE often treated terribly by human beings. I want to use my youtube site to raise awareness of the suffering of our beautiful and loyal friends. I'm a dog lover and it hurts me to know companion animals are treated so badly, I cannot understand the mindset of anyone who could be cruel to a living creature. It is unthinkable that the fur of dogs & cats is being used to make clothing. Please say no to the fur trade, don't buy into the suffering of animals. Please support rescue organisations and get involved with saving the voiceless. We all need to pull together if we are to make a difference and every compassionate voice and good deed counts!
