My name is Charlie Currin, and I wholeheartedly welcome you here as we begin the important and urgent task of ending all animal cruelty in our country. I truly believe we humans can join together to do what is right and compassionate for all our innocent, beloved creatures. We, together, can do this… We, together, must do this…
A little bit about me…
I am a recently retired life-long musician… an organist, pianist, conductor, and teacher. Years ago, I bought the domain name “Pulling Out All The Stops” and its acronym “POATS”… a pipe organ term we use as meaning “going all the way”… the more stops you pull out on the organ, the louder, more powerful the sound. Now is the time we humans join together, full-throttle pulling out all the stops to end all animal suffering.
I was raised on a beautiful tobacco farm in North Carolina… full of amazing animals. Lots of dogs and cats, cows and pigs, horses, ponies and mules, lambs, chickens, and opossums… pigeons, birds, bats… and occasionally coyotes, snakes, and bears. Ponds with ducks, geese, and swans… full of fish, turtles, frogs, and bullfrogs… Even our Pastor kept his beehives on the farm.
Early on, my sister, brother, and I convinced our father not to kill the animals for food. He hesitantly agreed, with the urging of our mother, and these beautiful creatures lived out their lives being loved and cared for by all of us. But I knew, even at an early age, this was not the norm for most animals…
Life went on… and I will never forget when my sister and I, now both living in NYC two blocks from each other, stayed on the phone together in November of 2007, when “I Am an Animal” premiered on TV… exposing the horrible truth of how animals were actually treated on factory farms and in animal experimentation labs, puppy mills, etc… We couldn’t even speak during it as we were so sickened and shocked by what we saw. I still vividly remember it now, 16 years later, like it was yesterday… and it has haunted me ever since… and I’ve never forgotten my huge desire to do something about animal welfare and how this documentary so profoundly affected me.
