Hi Maria. I really like the site. It has been a pure pleasure listening you sing, and Paul play. You deserve much more recognition on a world wide scale! I believe it's only a matter of time. Congratulations on having your poetry published. Your continued passion for animals rights is nothing short of a needed miracle! Good luck with ALL your creative endeavors.

Maria has incredible vocals that fuse blues, rock and country genres. Paul's guitar riffs are eclectic and dynamic. Their love for the animal kingdom is compassion in action. God bless them.

I'm Paul from Canada, a retired Author. I've only been at this about 4
months now, and I've hit the ground running. I'm only really getting around
to visiting all the forums now. I still have a lot to learn but I'm getting
there.

All the best,

Your voice and Paul's guitar are perfect to accompany the slides show we have been preparing about the plight of animals in Greece. It's being uploaded as I write this and will be 'on line' in 2-3 hours time. It would be great if you could mention it 'somewhere' on your website. At the end of the slides show it's mentioned that the accompanying music is by you & Paul.

I came across your music and now I cant get enough of it. I listen to it all the time. As a animal owner and having done dog rescue for 3 yrs. your songs are amazing and they hit home hard. I want to thank you so much for the hard work and the pictures of the reality others dont want to show. You have a special gift to sing about the animals. I love your music and with me driving on long trips from Phoenix ,az to mexico ( where I see alot of the skinny dogs ) for my job , it hurts me to see them there and then see them dead from starvation. Is there at anytime that you are going to be able to help those in Mexico ??? These dogs are now being electrocuted to death instead of being beaten by the police / military. I wish that there was a way to raise enough to help them . Great job.

Thank you for your beautiful music. It's painful knowing how many animals suffer due to human ignorance. We know animal abuse is out there, we cry but we don't give up. Your music is a great reminder on why we should continue to fight for all innocent creatures. Thank you again for your music. I bought your CD today and will listen to it regularly. Love to all animals!

I live near Dallas, where Mercy lived & died; her killer was sentenced to only 4 years in prison, with his family proclaiming his love of animals. My own crew is 3 rescued dogs: an American Pit Bull Terrier bred large and sold as a fighting dog, a Greyhound mix, and a senior mutt. Your music is beautiful, and your cause is righteous. Thank you for both.

Few stories have touched me like Toby's. If I go to heaven, I would want it to be dog heaven please...
Tobey's story is now in U.K. animal forums and so is your beautiful song which could not have said it better. Thank you.

Toby's Song - thank you for your love and compassion and mostly being a voice for them.
I sit here with my Siamese''s head on my wrist thanking God for her and giving her the life she deserves - she more than repays me each day!
Thank you and God Bless little Toby - he has another prayer today.

Your songs are beautiful, yet painful. It is so painful to know of all the horrible stories, yet I continue to torture myself by being informed. It makes me very much dislike the human race. I can only write a few letters and smother my own animals with unconditional love. Thank you for writing your songs.

Marsha Elliott

I am so very touched by your song dedicated to Tobey. I'm still in tears over this. Perhaps your music will help me and others process this horrendous event in a positive way. Blessings.

I also have written songs for the prevention of animal abuse and have contributed to a project called "Dog Dreams". The website is located at http://www.dogdreams.org

I'm sure that Steve would be very interested in your wonderful talent and I encourage everyone to visit his site and purchase the Dog Dreams CD. All proceeds go to the prevention of animal cruelty.

Thank you once again for sharing your talent in defense of the defenseless.

What a beautiful song. I cried when I read about the story, and even more so, when I heard the song. It breaks my heart, that there are some callous people out there, but it always bring me joy, when I hear of crusades against this type of behavior, and those people who refuse to let those get away with it. I hope everyone signs that petition to convict those terrible boys.

Tobey's Song - Very pretty and a soft touch to such a hard story. God bless that little pup.

Amanda George

September 3, 2007

Maria, I'm listening to Tobey's song over and over and over again. I can't deal with what happened to him and can't make any sense of it.

Your song is helping no end. It can't bring him back or take away what he endured but it can help to heal those who have to digest what happened to him and reel daily from the horrors of animal abuse such as this.

Thank you for writing such a beautiful song and doing something so special for that little soul. Somewhere out there he knows how much people care.

Amanda

PS Haven't forgotten that lovely evening we all had in the pub in St Neots!

Hi Maria and Paul,
Many, many congratulations on getting to support Pink at such a huge event as the PAWS concert in Cardiff.
This surely is testament to the incredible talent you have and the unswerving passion you feel for animal rights.
"Slaughterhouse Blues" is yet another superb rock track with a message that I'm sure gets through to everyone hearing it.
In admiration,
Much Love,

Congratulations on your song, Sorrow !!!!

I listened and read your lyrics also. It seems you have a lot to offer via your artistic endeavours. Your song is a thinking persons song. With the help of Paul and Maria, the song has a good level of energy and mood.

Well...it seems that I'll have to make room on my radio show when I get back on the air in September and present your song Sorrow to the audience of Zest Radio Show, MaryBeth :)

Keep up the great work you are doing. I feel that should you continue on this path, there'll be a place for you on many radio stations around the globe.

Take care, and, best regards,

I have been following this painful and heartbreaking story since this happened. My heart breaks everytime I see her pic. I have it on my computer to help me to never give up on fighting animal abuse / BSL etc. Seeing her face makes me want to keep going when I think all is for not. Every video that I can put her pic in for awareness on BSL / animal abuse / and how kind dogs are when loved... Mercy is in it and I will also make sure she is NEVER forgotten. Beautiful song and so fitting for a beautiful soul taken to early. Be at Peace Mercy... we may not have even met you but you touched our hearts to the core.

Anyone that can commit these horrendous acts has serious problems. It would be very easy, I would imagine, to make the transition to human abuse and cruelty as well. More needs to be done, harsher punishments in place to stop this. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for putting my petition link up in your news section. I wake up everyday thinking this cant really be happening to me and then every morning I have to reaccept that it is. If this type of prosecution and harrassment which has been ongoing for years only getting worse in rural Tennessee. The Cumberland mountain state park wants our land that the animal shelter is on. Local law enforcement is arresting me on ludicrous charges and imposing outrageous bail amounts. And attacking me physically, now and then filing assault charges on me to legitamize their actions. I now face about 27 years in prison. This small rural Tennessee county is known for racism and corruption and They are sending out a clear message. ANIMAL ACTIVISTS NOT WELCOME IN RURAL TENNESSEE! Thank you Maria and Paul. If I go to prison, I go an innocent man.
