Sir Roger Moore may have been famous for playing James Bond, but away from the cameras, he was a passionate defender of animals who believed there was nothing brave or admirable about killing wildlife for pleasure.

The legendary actor, who entertained generations with his charm, humour and unforgettable performances, was also a committed animal welfare campaigner. He used his fame to speak out against cruelty, particularly the killing of animals for entertainment, trophies and luxury products.

One of his most powerful statements concerned hunting, which he condemned as a cowardly pursuit. To Moore, there was something deeply troubling about people taking pleasure in ending the lives of creatures that simply wanted to survive.

He believed that animals deserved compassion, respect and protection, not suffering inflicted for human amusement.

His concern for animal welfare was more than words. Moore supported organisations including PETA and campaigned against the production of foie gras, highlighting the suffering involved in force-feeding ducks and geese.

For a man who portrayed one of cinema's most famous fictional heroes, his willingness to stand up for vulnerable animals was another important part of his legacy.

Sir Roger Moore passed away in 2017, but his message remains as relevant as ever.

Wild animals are not trophies. Their lives are not ours to take simply for entertainment. And true strength should be measured by our willingness to protect the vulnerable, not exploit them.

Do you agree with Sir Roger Moore that hunting animals purely for pleasure should have no place in the modern world?

I send him on a “search” between reps. “Search” means “you have permission to go eat the cookie”.

Notice on the 3rd and 4th reps my upper body stays low as I say “good, cookie”, and then I deliver a cookie. Gradually I begin moving more upright. This is to help him be successful at keeping his elbows on the bed. I want him to win, not get frustrated.

This technique is called successive approximation.

 FREE TOMATO SEED POST
🍅 🫑 🌶️ 🍅 🫑 🌶️ 🍅 🫑 🌶️ 🍅 🫑
Please read the entire post for instructions

We have a massive seed bank of heritage/heirloom tomato seeds and we need your help to create a free share tomato seed bank.

You can help by getting free tomato seeds from us for the price of a SASE .
You can choose of the four varieties and the only thing we ask is for you to save some seeds and send them back to us so we can duplicate this next year.
This massive collection was assembled by Tomato Dave , Mr. Tomato , and Mark Garlic , all from the greater St. Louis bi state area .
We wanna keep this collection going and up-to-date and with your help, we can keep it free . Also, with your help we can make it nationwide.

Choose up the four packages of tomatoes from the tomato families listed below. Put that request into an envelope with a SASE and send us a message to get a mailing address.
Sadly, we cannot take personal requests for varieties as there are thousands. We are asking that you choose from the families and we will send you the appropriate tomato type you like the best.

You can grow these tomatoes and save those seeds.

You can keep seeds, you can give away seeds, you could even sell seeds. I don’t care. The only thing we ask is you send a little bit of the seed back to us so we could pass it off to somebody next year.

We make absolutely nothing off of this and the only thing it costs you is the price of some postage.
The benefit is that you get to participate in a nationwide seed bank sharing seeds and the love of growing rare tomatoes.

Experienced growers growing dozens of varieties at a time like I do can ask for more choices . We’ve chosen four varieties for a general pic because that’s what most gardeners can handle.

Since most tomatoes are self pollinating, cross pollination is not an issue .

We ask that you share this and this will be the only time we will put this up this season . With your help of sending of sending seeds back as soon as possible we can get this back up in the early winter 2026 for the following grow season

Tomato families to choose from

1 Paste / plum
2 Globe
3 Dwarf ( perfect for you bucket gardeners)
4 Red beef steak types
5 Bi-color/bi-flesh ( two or more colors within a ripe tomato
6 Dark beef steaks
7 Striped tomatoes
8 Cherry type  (includes grape and pear shape )
9 ox Heart shaped
10 Small type ( prolific, smaller tomatoes )

Hot peppers
Large sweet peppers
Small sweet peopers
Heritage eggplant

You can choose four choices of these tomato families and we will send you these seeds.
You only want to grow cherries but want four cherry types ? You got it.

This idea was born years ago when I was discussing it with fellow cofounder of the St. Louis seeding frenzy swap , Jess Call.
For years, we had maintained seed banks and ask locals to grow and bring seeds back to the swap. Many forgot or never did but some did because they believed.

We would go to the Kansas City seed swap which seemed to have a little bit more participation, but we heard the same complaints from those there that more people should be sharing their seeds.

Jess and I were trying to come up with some ideas on how we can encourage more people to bring seeds back to share and out of those discussions this idea was born.

Instead of a free-for-all seed swap, this would be a targeted campaign to reach people who want to belong to something that unites us nationwide.

Assembling these tomatoes was no easy task and growing them as many of you know is hard work. It’s fulfilling work though as any gardener knows that successful feeling you feel when you harvest your first tomato.

This is your chance to belong to a seed bank and to make your garden count in a nationwide program of gardening and the love of tomatoes .

By expanding this bank nationwide we are opening up new Vista’s for the growing and maintaining of these seeds.

And since we know many of you might save some of these to grow yourself the next year or share them with neighbors these seeds will spread throughout all 50 states and all US territories .

We are not asking for your money
We are only asking you share a little bit of your seed back to the bank.

Next year, we have hope to bring this to the UK, Russia, and Uganda.

🚨🐶🐱 EUROPE BANNED TITANIUM DIOXIDE FROM ANIMAL FEED! YET BRANDS LIKE HILL’S, MILK-BONE & TEMPTATIONS STILL LIST IT IN SOME OF THEIR PET FOODS!

Why is this concerning?

🔬 Studies raise questions about DNA DAMAGE, PRECANCEROUS INTESTINAL CHANGES & DISRUPTED GUT BACTERIA!

And here’s the surprising part: Titanium dioxide provides ZERO nutritional benefits to your dog or cat. It’s a coloring agent used to make food look more appealing!

WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SHOW?

🧬 DNA DAMAGE CONCERNS: In 2021, the European Food Safety Authority concluded that titanium dioxide could no longer be considered safe as a food additive because potential damage to genetic material couldn’t be ruled out. The EU subsequently prohibited its use in animal feed.

🚨 PRECANCEROUS CHANGES: A peer-reviewed study published in Scientific Reports found that food-grade titanium dioxide was associated with early precancerous changes and intestinal inflammation in rats.

🦠 DISRUPTED GUT BACTERIA: Research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that titanium dioxide nanoparticles reduced beneficial gut bacteria, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, and increased intestinal inflammation in mice.

🩸 BLOOD SUGAR DISRUPTION: A 2025 study published in Food and Chemical Toxicology found that titanium dioxide nanoparticles disrupted blood sugar regulation and reduced important gut hormones involved in appetite and digestion.

🐾 SO WHY IS IT STILL IN PET FOOD?

Titanium dioxide is still permitted as a coloring additive in North America, and some products from Hill’s, Milk-Bone and Temptations have listed it among their ingredients.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT FEAR-MONGERING. IT’S ABOUT EDUCATION AND ASKING PET FOOD MANUFACTURERS TO DO BETTER!

Pet parents deserve transparency about what’s going into their animals’ food.

When an ingredient provides no nutritional benefit and raises legitimate scientific safety concerns, it’s reasonable to ask:

WHY IS IT NECESSARY IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Our dogs and cats deserve better. 🐾❤️

CHECK YOUR PET’S INGREDIENT LABELS AND SHARE THIS TO HELP EDUCATE OTHER PET PARENTS!
