| Title: | Animal Release Service |
| Description: | In ancient times, Buddhist monks purchased live animals which were to be used for food and released them, demonstrating their deep respect for all life. Based on this venerable practice, the Animal Release Service serves as a memorial service for animals and a reminder of their place in the interdependent chain of life. The service is held on the far west beach of Edgewater Park on the shores of Lake Erie in Cleveland, and includes the release of living creatures into the waters. All are invited to bring their pets as well as mementos of departed pet friends, and may also bring a vegetarian potluck dish to share. |
