| Please save crabs, crickets and mice I hope Im not preaching to the choir here but I thought it would be good to tell others what I do so you might o it too. I go to Petco and buy the mice (that might otherwise go into the mouth of a snake) and crickets (which might otherwise go into the mouth of a lizard) and let the go free. Also, there are live crabs from Shopite that are thrown into boiling pots of water. These you can take to the ocean. Please write e back and let me know whatyou think.

| Human ego Human ego has led us to deny our membership in the animal kingdom...to the point where we use phrases like, "humans AND animals" or "people AND animals", without a clue of the inaccuracy of those words. Most humans are unable to grasp the reality that the other animals are not just our neighbors, but our kin and our teachers... Post Date: 08/10/15, Replies: 0 | ||

| "A Planet fo rthe Taking" One of, if not the most watched David Suzuki series was "A Planet for the Taking", which aired in 1985. It's been extremely hard to find for many years...unlike all of Suzuki's other shows. It was obviously very unpopular among those who profit from the abuse and killing of non-human animals. Here's the good news! You can actually watch 6 of the 8 episodes on Youtube! If you haven't seen it I hope you'll take advantage...it may not be available on Youtube for very long.

| Things We Can Do 2 Protect African Wildlif Hi Folks - I can imagine that a lot of people have been following the Cecil the Lion story that has been covered extensively on CNN. From watching the coverage I learned that 65 per cent of the Big Game Trophy Hunters - not hunting for food, survival or cultural ritual - but for ego aggrandizement - are Americans. That makes me sick! So I started looking for petitions addressing this issue - And here are a few that I wanted to share with you folks .... the little act of signing a petition can become a BIG thing. One petition, calling for the extradition of Walter Palmer, the hunter who illegally poached Cecil the Lion, has already gained over 100,000 signatures is going to be addressed by the whitehouse ... so yes, your little signature, and your sharing petitions with social media DOES make a difference! Extradite Walter Palmer for Poaching https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/extradite-minnesotan-walter-james-palmer-face-justice-zimbabwe Add Lions to the Endangered Species Act - U.S.A. and E.U. https://secure.avaaz.org/en/save_africas_lions_loc/ Calling for an ALL-OUT Ban on the Importation of Hunting Trophies into the US petitions.moveon.org/sign/us-government-needs-to?source=c.em&r_by=5301023 Let's get together and make a difference! : ) Post Date: 08/01/15, Replies: 0 | ||

| Earthlings... To Watch or Not to Watch? So I have tried to shun Earthlings for an entire year now because I know that it would emotionally scar myself to the point of where i will most likely perceive every omnivore as 'evil' (not the greatest mentality to have, but i'm working on it!) But anyways, my logic for not watching Earthlings was 'I'm already vegan, and doing everything I can to not support the meat & dairy industry, so why torture myself by watching it?' But then recently it occurred to me that perhaps I'm being selfish in thinking that. A strong part of me believes that we all owe it to these animals to at least witness the pain they physically endure every single second of their lives. Consequently, I am strongly considering forcing myself to watch Earthlings, in its entirety. No closing my eyes, or looking away, but to intently watch and process the exact torturous procedures these animals undergo. I feel like the only con is that it will negatively affect me psychologically... and the pros are: it will definitely make my ethical stance even stronger, educate me on the practices of factory farms visually and possibly motivate me further to speak up to people. Anyone else feel this way? Or maybe even the contradictory? Post Date: 07/26/15, Replies: 7 | ||

| The Human Race "Racism" is the belief in the superiority of one "race" over another, and the ensuing "right" to dominate and exploit the "inferior" race. But the word "race" is also used in reference to the "human race". In this context, what shall we say of "human racism"? Only by human measurement are humans "superior" to all other life forms. The irrational egotism of human "superiority" becomes all too clear when we remember that we are the only species that knowingly pollutes and destroys its own environment, causes its own disease, and has become an enemy to all other living things. -from one of my books.

| Think before you eat Tsunami, as all of you know, devastated many lives, young and old. Imagine that a huge and ugly wave is coming at you. Panic strikes. You start to run for your life. Separated from your loved ones, there is absolutely no time to look for them. The giant wave is trying to drag you into the sea. Only thought that comes to mind is to get away to safety. Finally with all the effort, you reach high ground where the waves cannot get you. Breathing a sigh of relief, thoughts start coming back very fast. Where are the others? Everybody is gone! Why me? What have I done to deserve this? You bump into a friend who also has a similar story to tell. Now flip the coin, my dear friends, the Human Tsunami is devastating many lives in the sea every day. Imagine you are at sea and the huge and ugly fishing net is coming at you. Trying to escape from the evil net, the only option is to swim away as fast as you can. Panic strikes. The giant net is trying to drag you out of the sea and without water no way to live. Swimming for your life, there is absolutely no time to look for your loved ones. However, life is kind this time and decides to spare you. What about the others. They are all gone! What crime have you done to deserve this? What right do the humans have to take these lives? This is not only the story of sushi, but also your everyday meal. For your delicious lunch tomorrow, you are craving for a nice, juicy meal of pork. Softer the meat, the better it tastes and feels. How do you make the meat soft? While the pig is still alive, the butcher beats its body with a pole. The more he beats the body, the softer the skin and the meat becomes. Mind you, the pig is still alive while all this beating goes on. How soft do you want your next meal to be? An unborn baby is the treasure of a potential mother. She tries to protect the baby at any cost and the slightest threat makes her panic and worry. What would happen if somebody tries to steal the unborn baby away from her? Everyday all of you crave for lovely deserts, cakes and doughnuts. Millions of eggs are being taken away forcefully from the potential mothers. They are used to produce such lovely food for humans to enjoy. One might argue that the farm eggs are not fertile. But aren’t the humans forcing the eggs not to be fertile? When you are eating a lovely piece of cake, do you inquire the type of egg? Are you going to check if the egg was fertile or not? Do you care? A man is about to be hung? His eyes are full of fear and the face has a look of lost hope. He knows that the death is near and his whole body shows it. Have you gone to a slaughter house and seen the animals who are about to be killed? Their eyes are full of fear and they refuse to move from where they are. They know that the death is imminent and fear grips their whole body. Would you like to be in their shoes? Many people say that the animals are not being killed specially for them. Do you agree that animal slaughter happens as part of a chain of actions? If you do not eat meat, you will not buy from the meat shop. If the meat shop has no sales, would they buy from the butchery? If the butchery cannot sell the meat they produce, would they kill these animals? All of you who eat meat are part of this chain. If the first trigger of eating meat is stopped, the whole chain breaks down. Do you want to spare these innocent animals? Some argue that if we do not kill animals for food, their numbers will grow and the world will be taken over by them. I just ask them to go and visit China or India. The population is overflowing with more than a billion people in each country (no disrespect to the countries mentioned here please). Would they take over the world? If so, should these excess people be killed for food? Of course not. However, isn’t that the same logic used against animals? Hence, my friends (who are at the other side of the table), the next time when you are about to consume a sumptuous meal, I urge all of you to think before you eat. Post Date: 06/05/15, Replies: 4 |
