All-vegans-unite Fwd: Did anyone watch Boston Legal Tuesday night?

[Kerri Milam]

I thought it was AWESOME when actor Carl Sack went in to a 
pretty detailed description of the life and death of chickens in 
slaughterhouses. Here is the episode recap. I can't find a site that includes 
the specific lines. If anyone knows, please post. 

"The Chicken and the Leg" 
Denny Crane is so convinced that Carl Sack will be on the losing side of a 
cockfighting case that he wagers an extremely large sum with him...

All-vegans-unite Stop the Torture of Horses in Mexican Slaughterhouses!

[Kerri Milam]

   Horses abandoned by the cruel horse-racing and 
horse-carriage
 industries or by individuals are being exported from the United
 States and killed in horrible ways in Mexican slaughterhouses. A
 recent investigation by the San Antonio Express-News documented
 that horses were being repeatedly stabbed in the neck until they
 were weak enough to be shackled and have their throats slit.
 
 Please click on the link below to ask your U.S. senators and
 representative to support the American Horse Slaughter
 Prevention Act, which would permanently end the slaughter of
 horses in the U.S. and ban the export of horses for slaughter
 abroad. 
 
 Thank you!

 Dear Essex County Board Members and Officials:
 
 Please do not employ sharpshooters to kill deer who roam onto roads and 
 residential properties in South Mountain Reservation. I thank Freeholder 
 Carol Y. Clark for her opposition to lethal wildlife strategies and urge 
 other officials to follow suit. Exterminating 150 deer won’t “fix” the 
 long-term problem of urban encroachment on wildlife habitat.
 
 Deer hunting has shown to boost reproduction rates in deer populations. In a 
 study to document the effects of "Community Based Deer Management" at the 
 Watchung Reservation in Union County, NJ, researchers found 57% of killed 
 pregnant deer had twins in their wombs after two years of hunting. After a 
 third year of hunting, 60% of killed deer had twins and 8% had triplets.
 
 Similar studies demonstrate that deer who live under non-hunting conditions 
 typically bear one child. When hunted, the birth rate doubles or triples. 
 Hunting eliminates part of a population, so survivors rebound due to an 
 abundance of food and space. With fewer males vying for territory, mating 
 becomes the herd's primary focus.
 
 Ultimately, "managed" sport hunting can exacerbate human-deer conflicts by 
 producing larger herds. A more permanent solution requires community 
 planning with deer in mind. The blending of nonvio

 Dear Governor Kaine, Ms. Baird and Mr. Moriarty: 
 
 I am disappointed the Great Dismal Swamp Wildlife Refuge will renew its 
 two-day black bear hunt in Virginia, despite last year's widespread 
 disapproval. I understand the November 30 and December 1, 2007 hunt will 
 allow twice as many shooters each day and an expanded kill zone.
 
 I ask Governor Kaine to publicly oppose this needless slaughter, intended 
 solely for recreation. The controversial hunt caters to trophy hunters, a 
 marginal interest group. Nationally, consumptive wildlife practices such as 
 hunting and trapping have steadily declined since the 1970s. Conversely, the 
 more lucrative trend in non-consumptive wildlife watching, hiking, bird 
 watching, etc. has risen considerably.
 
 With regard to bear control and human safety, I urge Governor Kaine to 
 advocate education and prevention instead of slaughter. Public learning 
 programs, aversive conditioning and bear-proof trash and food containment 
 have demonstrated far more long-term value than killing wildlife. Bears are 
 less prone to wander off the Refuge in search of discarded food if they 
 don't have access to garbage.
 
 I also ask the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Great Dismal Swamp 
 National Wildlife Refuge to cancel this black bear hunt. FWS has neglected 
 to fulfill its legal obligation to assess the environmental impacts of a 
 hunt -- instead referencing two black bear studies that both advised a 
 moratorium until more data was evaluated. One author even suggested a bear 
 hunt could worsen a decline in genetic diversity. These studies indicate 
 bear numbers are already compromised by genetic uncertainties, along with 
 habitat deterioration beyond Refuge borders.
 
 I call upon the Governor and wildlife agencies to resolve human-bear 
 conflicts through education and enforcement of proper waste disposal. 
 Conscientious citizens do not support the harassment and slaughter of 
 wildlife. I look forward to your response to my letter.
 
 Sincerely,

All-vegans-unite How much is a billion?

[Kerri Milam]

 Dear Friends,

I received the email below from a friend.  Curious, I did a search on its 
validity in Snopes.  It's fairly accurate (check out Snopes:   
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/trivia/billions.asp  ).
I think it's pretty interesting, especially when you consider that over eight 
billion animals are raised, transported, and slaughtered under grossly inhumane 
conditions every year ( please see http://www.earthsave.org/lifestyle/ff.htm  ).

Peas,
R.

By Mary Brophy Marcus as printed in USA Today on 
October 15, 2007 
   Many nutrition experts say they’ve seen changes in the food 
landscape  over the past five to 10 years that suggest a growing popularity of 
vegetarianism  among young people. Young people cite a host of reasons for 
going meat-free, such  as personal taste, concerns about animal treatment, 
environmental questions  surrounding livestock and the influence of peers and 
celebrities.

All-vegans-unite LA Times on Factory Farming & greenhouse emissions

[Kerri Milam]

   
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-ed-methane15oct15,0,1365993.story?coll=la-tot-opinion&track=ntothtml
   
  Killer cow emissions  
LA TIMES OPINION

  Livestock are a leading source of greenhouse gases. Why isn't anyone raising 
a stink?
  October 15, 2007
  
 
  It's a silent but deadly source of greenhouse gases that contributes more to 
global warming than the entire world transportation sector, yet politicians  
almost never discuss it, and environmental lobbyists and other green activist 
groups seem unaware of its existence.

That may be because it's tough to take cow flatulence seriously. But livestock 
emissions are no joke.

Most of the national debate about global warming centers on carbon dioxide, the 
world's most abundant greenhouse gas, and its major sources -- fossil fuels. 
Seldom mentioned is that cows and other ruminants, such as sheep and goats, are 
walking gas factories that take in fodder and put out methane and nitrous 
oxide, two greenhouse gases that are far more efficient at trapping heat than 
carbon dioxide. Methane, with 21 times the warming potential of CO2, comes from 
both ends of a cow, but mostly the front. Frat boys have nothing on bovines, as 
it's estimated that a single cow can belch out anywhere from 25 to 130 gallons 
of methane a day.

It isn't just the gas they pass that makes livestock troublesome. A report from 
the United Nations  Food and Agriculture Organization identified livestock as 
one of the two or three top contributors to the world's most serious 
environmental problems, including water pollution and species loss. In terms of 
climate change, livestock are a threat not only because of the gases coming 
from their stomachs and manure but because of deforestation, as land is cleared 
to make way for pastures, and the amount of energy needed to produce the crops 
that feed the animals.

All told, livestock are responsible for 18% of greenhouse-gas emissions 
worldwide, according to the U.N. -- more than all the planes, trains and 
automobiles on the planet. And it's going to get a lot worse. As living 
standards rise in the developing world, so does its fondness for meat and 
dairy. Annual per-capita meat consumption in developing countries doubled from 
31 pounds in 1980 to 62 pounds in 2002, according to the Food and Agriculture 
Organization, which expects global meat production to more than  double by 
2050. That means the environmental damage of ranching would have to be cut in 
half just to keep emissions at their current, dangerous level.

It isn't enough to improve mileage standards or crack down on diesel truck 
emissions, as politicians at both the state and national levels are working to 
do. Eventually, the United States and other countries are going to have to 
clean up their agricultural practices, while consumers can do their part by 
cutting back on red meat.

Manure, methane and McGovern

In a Web forum for presidential candidates in September, TV talk-show host Bill 
Maher asked former Sen. John Edwards a snarky question: Because Edwards had 
suggested that people trade in their SUVs to benefit the environment, and 
cattle generate more greenhouse gases than SUVs, "You want to take a shot at 
meat?" Maher asked.

Edwards wisely dodged the question. It is extremely hazardous for politicians 
to take on the U.S. beef industry, a  lesson learned by Sen. George McGovern in 
the late 1970s when his Select Committee on Nutrition dared to recommend that 
Americans cut down on red meat and fatty dairy products for health reasons. 
After a ferocious lobbying blitz from meat and dairy interests, the committee 
rewrote its guidelines to suggest diners simply choose lean meats that "will 
reduce saturated fat intake." McGovern was voted out of office in 1980, in part 
because of opposition from cattlemen in his home state of South Dakota.

Beyond the dangers of taking on the beef bloc, legislating food choices is an 
unpopular and nearly impossible task, so it's unlikely any candidate will 
endorse a national vegetarian movement to fight global warming any time soon. 
There are other approaches, though.

Cows and other ruminants have four stomachs, the first of which, called the 
rumen, is where the trouble lies; bacteria in the rumen produce methane. 
Scientists -- mostly in Australia, New Zealand and  Britain, where the problem 
is taken a lot more seriously than it is here -- are working on a variety of 
technical solutions, including a kind of bovine Alka-Seltzer. Scientists are 
also trying to develop new varieties of feed grasses that are more energy 
efficient and thus generate less methane, and they are experimenting with 
targeted breeding to produce a less-gassy strain of cattle.

But it's not just about the belching. Livestock manure also emits methane 
(especially when it's stored in lagoons) and nitrous oxide, better known as 
laughing gas. There's nothing funny about this gas: It has 296 times

All-vegans-unite NYTimes: Industry $$$ Behind New Study on Fish Safety

[Kerri Milam]

Two weeks ago, a study announcing women of childbearing age could and  should 
eat fish received a lot of national media attention.  I watched 
Katie Couric interview a very pregnant  reporter who ended her report, 
saying, "Well, it looks like I'm fixing fish for dinner tonight," right 
after she mentioned  the fishing industry funded the study.  (National 
Fisheries Institute and Burson-Martsller,   the public relations firm 
that "facilitated the findings,"  once worked with the US Tuna 
Foundation).

Yet, tonight on the CBS Nightly News not one word  about today's NY 
Times story, discussing the conflict of interest, .

Hopefully, Pacifica Radio will do better.

Industry Money Fans Debate on Fish

The New York Times, Marian Burros, Oct. 17, 2007
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/17/dining/17fish.html

MANY health advocates were surprised earlier this month when a 
children’s health coalition that includes federal agencies and 
professional medical associations contradicted government warnings 
about mercury contamination and recommended that women of childbearing 
age eat more fish.

Since then several coalition members have renounced the findings, some 
criticizing the coalition’s leadership for taking thousands of dollars 
from the fishing industry to promote the recommendations. The 
coalition’s leaders did not present the recommendations to its members 
before releasing them.

The organization, the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies 
Coalition, announced on Oct. 4 that women of childbearing age should 
eat at least 12 ounces of seafood each week, including tuna and 
mackerel, which can have high levels of mercury.

Since 2004, the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental 
Protection Agencyhave recommended that such women eat no more than 12 
ounces of fish a week, including no more than 6 ounces of canned 
albacore tuna, and avoid swordfish, tilefish, king mackerel and shark 
because they are high in mercury, which most scientists say is harmful 
to fetuses and young children.

The coalition based its advice on a finding by the Maternal Nutrition 
Group, made up of physicians, dietitians and nutritionists. It relied 
on recent research, including a study in the British medical journal 
Lancet, showing that the benefits for babies of omega-3 fatty acids and 
other substances in fish outweighed the risks of mercury. Another study 
showed that fears about mercury had kept some women from eating any 
fish.

But in an 1,800-word response to its critics, the coalition 
acknowledged that a member of the Maternal Nutrition Group, Dr. James 
McGregor, a visiting professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the 
University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine, had gotten 
the National Fisheries Institute to provide $1,000 honoraria to each of 
the group’s 14 members, with an extra $500 each to the group’s four 
executive committee members.

The National Fisheries Institute also gave the coalition $60,000 for 
its education campaign. The coalition’s leadership said that the public 
relations firm Burson-Marsteller “facilitated this group sharing its 
findings” with the coalition and is working to promote the 
recommendations.

Burson-Marsteller which represents the fisheries institute, had worked 
for the U.S. Tuna Foundation before it joined with the institute.

Hampton Shaddock, a managing director of Burson-Marsteller, is the vice 
chairman of the coalition, although he said he recused himself from any 
discussion by the organization on seafood recommendations.

Both the recommendations and the connection to the fishing industry 
angered some members of the coalition.

“We are appalled,” said Dr. Frank Greer, chairman of the nutrition 
committee of theAmerican Academy of Pediatrics, a member of the 
coalition. He said his organization does not believe the new advice is 
backed up by the preponderance of science.

“Plus it’s paid for by the National Fisheries Institute, which is a 
real conflict of interest,” Dr. Greer said.

Others in the coalition, including the federal Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention, the National Institute of Child Health and 
Human Development, the federal Health Resources Services Administration 
as well as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and 
the March of Dimes, also disavowed the findings.

“Until we have a solid convincing argument we are not going to change,” 
said Michele Kling, a spokeswoman for the March of Dimes.

Julie Zawisza, a spokeswoman for the Food and Drug Administration, said 
the agency stood by its warnings about seafood high in mercury. “We 
think we are pretty much aware of everything that is out there in terms 
of scientific studies and data,” Ms. Zawisza said, “and we haven’t seen 
any data that we believe would support a change in our current 
recommendations.”

Dr. Kathryn Mahaffey, a senior scientist with the E.P.A., said the 
coalition’s reco

Subject: [vegan] Raw Foods
   Has anyone seen the trailer for "Raw For 30 
Days"? It's a documentary about six  people, who normally eat  fast food, who 
decide to go 100% raw for a month. It features interviews with doctors, 
experts, and raw foodists including Gabriel Cousens,  David Wolfe, and Woody 
Harrelson. 
 
 I am new to raw foods and very interested in hearing from others who are raw 
foodists and people who are trying to change their lives for the better. Many 
people in my family have diabetes and I have changed my diet and gone raw to 
prevent myself from also getting diabetes.
 
 The trailer on Youtube at:
 
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSuqCMld00w
 
 There is also a new two-disc DVD set that is available for order called RAW 
FOR LIFE, which is a encyclopedia of Raw Food, perfect for beginners like me 
and Raw Food enthusiasts.  I have found it to be very helpful, as I have been 
transitioning to raw foods. It's about how to live raw, the Raw Food 
philosophy, why to eat a raw food diet, important medical facts and nutritional 
information. It's a very practical guide to becoming raw and staying raw.

 Spaniards call for bullfights to stop
 October 19, 2007 
 
 A group of Spanish politicians, intellectuals, artists and environmentalists 
has called for the abolition of bullfights, describing them as an obstacle to 
the defence of animal rights.
 
 Spain had a legal vacuum on animal rights despite ill-treatment in the form of 
bullfights, hanging hunting dogs that were no longer used, or village 
traditions such as hurling goats from church towers, the personalities said in 
a manifesto.
 
 The document was signed in parliament during an event, organised by the Green 
Party, to campaign for the rights of animals.
 
 There was not a massive support for bullfights in Spain, though many saw them 
as a sign of culture and identity, Green MP Francisco Garrido said.
 
 The personalities demanded national legislation to protect the rights of 
animals, which are now covered largely by regional legislation.

All-vegans-unite ESSAY: Man, the amazing animal

[Kerri Milam]

 ESSAY: Man, the amazing animal   Isn't man an amazing 
animal? He kills wildlife - birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, 
beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes, and dingoes - by the million in order to 
protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by 
the billions so he can eat them. This in turn kills man by the million, because 
eating all those animals leads to degenerative- fatal-health conditions like 
heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills
 millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases.
 Elsewhere, millions of other humans are being killed by hunger and 
malnutrition because the food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic 
animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of 
man, who kills so easily violently, and once a year sends out cards praying 
for, "Peace On Earth."

All-vegans-unite quote made by one of the great scholars, Seneca, 2,000 years ago

[Kerri Milam]

In The China Study there is a quote  made by one of the great scholars, Seneca, 
2,000 years  ago.  He was a tutor and advisor to Roman Emperor Nero: 
  
 An ox is satisfied with the pasture of an acre or  two: one wood suffices 
for several Elephants.  Man alone 
 supports himself by the pillage of the whole earth  and sea.  What!  Has 
Nature indeed given us so 
 insatiable a stomach, while she has given us so  insignificant bodies? 
The slaves of the belly (as says 
 Sallust) are to be counted in the number of the  lower animals, not of 
men.  Nay, not of them, but rather of 
 the dead  You might inscribe on their doors,  "These have anticipated 
death."

 Is is not incredulous that this statement was made 2,000 years ago and we  
have completely ignored this and in fact destroyed our planet, our  animals?  
What a shame, it is sickening what Man does.  He is the most  destructive and 
cruel being on the planet.

Interesting news story and video... though I 
highly doubt that, as stated by the reporter, "Only three percent of Americans 
are considered vegetarian, a number that has held steady for about 15 
years."  Especially with the increased consumer demand for vegetarian items 
and increased availability of "faux" meats at stores everywhere!  


 



It was nice to see PCRM quoted and have mention 
of their veggie starter kits!

A la peanut butter sandwiches
By Trystan L. Bass| Posted Sun, 21 October 2007, 8:45pm


The Amazing Mumford on Sesame Street may have been right: Peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches are magic. They could help save the world.


According to the PB&J Campaign's
website, this classic kid's sandwich lowers your lunch's carbon
footprint by 2.5 pounds of CO2 over a tuna sandwich, grilled cheese, or
hamburger.


How does this work? Well, simply explained, a meat-based lunch requires a lot 
more energy, land, and water resources to produce than a lunch that comes from 
plant sources. Peanut butter, jelly, and bread are pretty low-impact foods.


If peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth, the campaign has recipes for 
equally earth-friendly alternatives. 
Cook
a batch of vegetarian chili, stir up some black bean soup, stuff a
falafel in a pita, try General Tso's Tofu, or roll together a bean
burrito. They're all tasty and can help slow global warming.


But the easiest way to start is with good ol' PB&J. Pack a
sandwich for yourself, your kids, and your spouse today. Grover will be
proud.

All-vegans-unite �Heroes� Actress Panettiere Caught in Clash at Japanese Dolphin Slaughter Site

[Kerri Milam]

   Hello All,

 An unexamined life is not worth living.--Socrates

 It's 2007. It's hard to believe it's okay to murder 23,000 dolphins, but it 
is. In Korea it's dogs, here it's other animals by the billions (yes, 
Billions). In the end, no matter where it's done, it's still wrong.

   (Here's a tip for the Japanese:  If you have to hide what you do, you 
probably shouldn't be doing it.)

 If you still don't understand why the murder of animals matters so much to me, 
and why it should matter to you, three minutes and forty-five seconds will be 
all it'll take to change your world. Please, I implore you to watch this Sky 
News report:

 If you eat the flesh of murdered animals, don't kid yourself--you are part of 
this problem too. The butchers even mention it in the report, and they're right.

   Thank you.

   For All the Animals,

Mark

   Hunting for hunters
   Thinning ranks may weaken economy, environment
   Leo Roth 
   Staffwriter  
(November 4, 2007) - DaleStatt of Honeoye Falls, a 35-year-old 
mother of two boys, marriedinto a family of hunters.
When she took to the field for the first time with her husband,
Leigh, eight years ago, she loved it. Last year Statt bagged a
9-point buck, and she's looking forward to the start of shotgun
season for whitetails in New York state's Southern Zone in two
weeks. 
   "It's a wonderful sport. My husband has taught me so much about  
  it, and we look forward to teaching our kids," said Statt, who is 
   an executive administrative assistant for Fibertech Networks. 
"Wehave a separate freezer for our venison. We eat more venison 
thanbeef." 
   While the Statts eagerly look forward to another hunting season, 
   surveys and license sales continue to show that the American 
   hunter is an endangered species. Fewer younger people are taking 
   up the sport and more adults are leaving it. 
   Concerns rise
   More than 87 million U.S. citizens age 16 or older fished, 
huntedor watched wildlife in 2006, spending more than $120 
billion,according to the U.S.
   Fish & Wildlife Service survey of wildlife-associated recreation 
   conducted every five years. The figures are from a preliminary   
 report. The final report will be issued this month. While these
figures represent a still robust hunting industry making a  
  profound impact on the economy, the total number of hunters   
 nationwide has slid from a peak of 19.1 million in 1975 to
   12.5 million. In 2006, New York state ranked sixth in the number 
   of resident and nonresident hunters at 576,000 and ninth in  
  hunting-related expenditures, at$683
million. Those numbers are down from 714,000 and $822 million in
2001.

Kucinich Will Impeach  Cheney
 Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced
H.Res. 333 in April to impeach Vice  
President Cheney for his pre-war lies about Iraq and for  
threatening an invasion of Iran. And thanks to your heroic  
grassroots efforts, there are   
 21 co-sponsors.
 Speaker Pelosi blocked Judiciary Committee hearings on the 
bill,  but Rep. Kucinich will force a floor vote on Tuesday 
 using his right of personal privilege.
 Kucinich's courageous act will put members of the House on 
 record. Are they going to fulfill their oath of office to  
"defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and   
   domestic"? Or will they support a Vice President whose lies  
about Iraq cost the lives of nearly 4,000 Americans and possibly
  $2.4 trillion in our tax dollars - and whose lies about Iran  
threaten to start World War III?
 Call your Representative (not Senators) and tell them  
to support Kucinich's resolution to impeach  Dick 
Cheney, H.Res. 333:
 800-828-0498, 800-862-5530, 800-833-6354

 Sharkwater I don't have time now to fully review Rob Stewart's Sharkwater, 
which opened in theaters this past weekend. However, I don't think it will stay 
in theaters much longer unless more people turn out for it. I saw a 9:30 
showing of the film last night in Cambridge, and if me and my friends from the 
BVA hadn't been there, only one person would have been in that room. Hopefully 
it did better on Friday and Saturday, and is doing better elsewhere. 
 
While Sharkwater repeats itself too often and feels a bit too long, it is 
involving throughout, and I certainly hope that it is nominated for an Academy 
Award. It's done well at film festivals, but more people need to become aware 
of its message. If it's playing near you, this is a documentary that you should 
see on the big screen now instead of waiting to see on DVD, if for no other 
reason than to be amazed by the underwater photography. But, more importantly, 
the sooner the word gets out about sharks as creatures to be respected and 
protected instead of feared, the better chance we have of raising the awareness 
that could save them from being wiped out (for something as stupid as shark fin 
soup, no less). Check your local papers or online for theaters near you.

All-vegans-unite Fwd: BULLFIGHTING....(sample letter) Bly me Celine Dion..

[Kerri Milam]

   - Original Message -  From: Le Petit Chien  
 To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; 
 Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 5:11 PM
 Subject: (sample letter) Bly me Celine Dion.. 

 

  Doesn´t Celine Dion turns to God seriously with that singing phrase; ´We  ask 
that life be kind´  in her most beautiful song ´The Prayer´ whenever  it´s 
sung? 
Then why not starting to be kind herself at first  by giving that véry same 
example, just bly´s me. Apparently one of the most beautiful female voices ever 
known has a  cold undertone inside.

Pléase copy and past onto this link to be the  recordcompany Sony BMG Music 
Canada via www.sonybmg.ca/feedback.cgi. As  subject you can use the phrase 
'artist question'

"Dear  sir/madam,

Recently, I heard that Celine Dion has asked the matador  (bullfighter) Tejela 
to promote her new album and concerts by appearing in the  album and on a large 
screen during her concerts. Furthermore, she is financing a  replica of the 
Mexico City bullring in Las Vegas. I wonder why she would promote  the 
bullfighting industry, because bullfighting is one of the most cruel  forms of 
animal abuse. Tens of thousands of bulls and hundreds of horses are  tortured 
and killed, just to amuse the public. A matador is not a hero. He uses  other 
bullfighters to weaken the bull, before he stabs it to death. The bull is  
tortured with lances, barbed spears, swords and daggers, until it collapses  
after a long death struggle. 
  
 More and more people turn their backs on bullfighting, because of  this 
cruelty. 
 Please, pass my message on to Celine and her agent, because I think it is very 
 important that she does not finance the replica of the Mexican bullring and 
that  she should turn away the bullfighter Tejela. This man has killed hundreds 
 of  sentiënt beïngs like all of these innocent bulls are and he has blood  on 
his hands. 
  
 This is not good for Celine's reputation. If you are not convinced, please  
visit http://english.stieren.net  or www.stopourshame.com.

Eagerly  awaiting your response.

All-vegans-unite Fwd: Keeping the Faith -- Celebrating Animals

[Kerri Milam]

Dear kerri,
I'm writing to update you on several recent initiatives related to animals and 
religion at Humane Society International. This October, groups around the world 
celebrated animals and HSI helped dogs and their owners in Iran. Also, share 
your own story of how an animal has influenced your faith. 

  The Blessing of the Animals: Celebrating Animals Worldwide
The Blessing of the Animals -- held every year on or around October 4 -- has 
become a worldwide festival celebrated by a variety of religions in recognition 
of our animal friends. This year, HSI asked many of the groups we work with 
around the globe to share with us their celebrations of this event. From Peru 
to Saipan to Cameroon, churches and communities came together to honor all 
animals.
 
  Iran: Government Crackdown on Pets Halted
Harassment of petkeepers by officials in Tehran subsided in mid-October after 
an international outcry that included a formal letter of protest from HSI and a 
one-hour Voice of America Farsi-language broadcast on the subject that reached 
an estimated 14 million Iranian homes. Read Dr. Unti's account of how he helped 
give pets and the people who love them a voice.
 
  Share Your Story: How Has an Animal Influenced Your Faith?
The new Animals & Religion program works with religious institutions and 
individuals to spread compassion for all animals. We want to hear your 
inspirational stories of how animals have played a meaningful role in your 
spiritual life. 
Click here to submit your story now!
 Our supporters and advocates are the key to the success of HSI's efforts to

All-vegans-unite Re: URGENT!!! Think Bad About the Government Go to Jail - House Passes "

[Kerri Milam]

Title: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007
Bill Number: H.R. 1955
Sponsor: Representative Jane Harman (D-CA)
Number of Cosponsors: 14
Bill Summary: 
According to supporters, the measure will play an important role in helping 
government and law enforcement officials understand and prevent domestic 
terrorism. In a speech on the House floor advocating passage of the bill, Rep. 
Jane Harman (D-Calif.) -- the coauthor and initial sponsor of the measure -- 
warned that the next time the U.S. faces a terrorist threat, "my assumption is 
that many who attack us will already be here, and some will be US citizens." To 
prevent that attack, she said, the new "legislation will help the nation 
develop a better understanding of the forces that lead to homegrown terrorism, 
and the steps we can take to stop it."
Critics of the measure allege that it is a thinly veiled and dangerous attempt 
to criminalize dissent. Such concern is based on the bill's vague and 
open-ended language that, critics say, could be used by the government to 
trample basic rights to free speech and assembly and turn legitimate dissent 
into thought crimes.
The legislation, for instance, defines "violent radicalization" as "the process 
of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of 
facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or 
social change." The bill makes no attempt to define what an "extremist belief 
system" might be. Nor does it define the action of "facilitating ideologically 
based violence." 
In its section on key findings related to homegrown terrorism, the measure 
gives lip-service to constitutional rights, but also singles out the Internet 
and its open market for the flow of ideas and information as part of the 
problem. According to the measure, "The Internet has aided in facilitating 
violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown 
terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and 
constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens."
The unspoken threat implied by that passage is that the government might have 
to clamp down on free speech online. "At base," wrote retired Col. Dan Smith in 
Counterpunch, "Harman's proposal seems to be a direct attack on First Amendment 
rights."
Bill Status:
H.R. 1955 passed the House by a landslide vote of 404-6 on October 23, 2007 
(Roll Call Vote 993). The bill has been received by the Senate and was referred 
to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Our Position:
The John Birch Society opposes the passage of vaguely worded legislation that 
could lead federal agencies to arbitrarily define some modes of thought as one 
or more varieties of "extremist belief systems." In the 18th Century, the 
British government of King George III certainly believed as much about the 
manner of thought adopted by America's Founding Fathers. The John Birch Society 
believes the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act will 
have a substantial chilling effect on both free speech and thought and that the 
Senate should reject the measure.
Recommended Action:
1) Contact your senators using the alert below. Ask them to oppose the passage 
of H.R. 1955. 
2) E-mail this link to others in your sphere of influence, ask them to voice 
their opposition to H.R. 1955 as well.
Thank you,
The John Birch Society

  It must all get back to identity issues.  Conflicts arise over the assumption

river the water?  If the river is the water, then that water is constantly 
changing.  One moment there is a body of water and the next minute that body of 
water is replaced.  Now what if that river is the river of time?  
   
  I need to meditate on this in hopes of developing a better understanding.  
Because, frankly, I am having trouble understanding.

All-vegans-unite Gourmet vegan meals delivered to your home

[Kerri Milam]

Gourmet vegan meals delivered to your home I've been meaning to write up 
BuyKind.com for weeks now. For some reason I thought I had, but quick search 
revealed that, no, I haven't. 
 
So, if you aren't yet aware of BuyKind, let me paint you a picture. 
 
Ever wanted to visit any of the following top-notch vegan restaurants?:

   Sublime in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

   Good Karma in Venice Beach, California

   Lovin' Spoonfuls in Tucson, Arizona

   The Vegetable Garden in Rockville, Maryland

   Red Avocado in Iowa City, Iowa

   Spiral Diner & Bakery in Ft. Worth, Texas
Me, too. I imagine if you live in a city with no creative vegan options, you're 
even more keen to try some of the amazing food these restaurants serve. And, 
with BuyKind, you can. 
 
Now, you're not getting the experience of the decor and being surrounded by 
other people sampling delicious vegan food, plus you're basically just 
reheating meals as if they're leftovers, but I've tried this service a couple 
of times now, and, for the most part, it works. Packing up gourmet meals and 
shipping the via DHL does bring with it some compromises, but the food still 
tastes great, even if sometimes shipment co-mingles certain items or shakes up 
your key lime pie a bit too much. 
 
My wife and I had a couple of entrees from The Vegetable Garden, including the 
Veggie Sesame "Beef" with Yams. My wife got a similar entree, I want to say the 
"chicken" with asparagus, but it might have been the "beef" with pineapple 
(hazards of waiting too long to write the review!). At any rate, the ideal 
preparation for both was pretty much the same. 
 
Since the veggies and fruits heat up much faster than the faux meats, you can 
either separate them first and add the produce once the mock meats are getting 
hot or, if they're too stuck together, you can warm them all at once in a large 
frying pan, separating out the yams and such as they get hot, which is what I 
did, though I recommend the other option to make sure everything is hot at the 
same time. 
 
All it took was a little olive oil and some heat, and the entree was good to 
go. Instructions for the brown rice were to reheat in a small saucepan with a 
little extra water, and this actually worked out great. The meals were 
delicious, if unevenly heated. The key lime pie was a bit on the chalky side, 
but that didn't stop me from eating every last bite for dessert. 
 
Now, there is a fair amount of packaging involved. I couldn't reuse the boxes 
the meals were shipped in, since they were so beat up, nor could I reuse the 
foam (my main strike against ordering food like this), but I have reused the 
ice packs a couple of times (they're super-handy!) and my wife reuses the 
take-out containers to bring other leftovers to work. But, if you're only doing 
this once in a while, and ordering maybe a few meals at once, then you're 
probably getting the most out of this service. 
 
One delivery could save you 2-3 trips to restaurants in your car, and this adds 
up to a financial savings, too. It may seem like expensive to order online, but 
if you factor in the cost of driving to and from 2-3 restaurants like this, and 
tipping a server each time, you start to find the expense closer to the real 
cost of eating out, so the price is not unreasonable at all for people who'd be 
dining at a restaurant for $10-15 meals anyway. 
 
You can place your order at BuyKind.com. It's definitely a home-grown website, 
with awkward navigation, a couple of broken links, plenty over-sized (but 
mouthwatering) photos that take too long to download, etc., but don't let that 
dissuade you from getting your tastebuds on some delightful food! 
 
In fact, soon BuyKind will be offering delivery from Madeleine Bistro, my 
favorite vegan restaurant in Los Angeles, so keep checking back, and please 
comment on your experience below. 
 
PS - BuyKind has kindly offered to donate to the Boston Vegan Association 10% 
of the profits on any purchase you make when you use the BOSTON code at 
check-out. These proceeds will be used to promote the expansion of veganism in 
the Boston area.

All-vegans-unite Health24.com Nov. 2007 article "10 Interesting Vegetarian Facts"

[Kerri Milam]

Some stuff we already know  and maybe some new things we don't in this recent 
article.  I noticed a  disrepancy in numbers 9 & 10 though -- Brad Pitt and 
Angelina dine on flesh  foods (as reported in some publications & media photos) 
and historian Rynn  Berry wrote an entire book countering the Hitler myth (he 
used to dine on  pigeon flesh).
  
 Just a little food for  thought!  : )

 10 interesting  vegetarian facts 
 Health24.com
  
 Thought you knew everything there is to know about the vegetarian diet? These  
few facts may surprise you:  
1. Vegetarianism has traditionally been linked to the people of ancient  India. 
Even today, Indians make up more than 70 percent of the world's  vegetarian 
population.  
2. The first Vegetarian Society was formed in 1847 in England. The main aim  of 
the members was to dispel the common belief that it's not possible to lead a  
healthy life without eating meat.  
3. There are varying degrees of vegetarianism. The strictest of vegetarians  
not only steer clear of all forms of meat, they also avoid all animal products, 
 including honey (bees are often killed in the production of honey), and foods  
which might contain traces of animal products, such as bread baked in buttered  
tins and sugar to which bone charcoal has been added (to make it white).  
4. You might recall the scene in Notting Hill where William Thacker (Hugh  
Grant) goes on a blind date with a slightly off-the-wall "fruitarian".  
Fruitarianism is a very real form of vegetarianism, where the diet consists of  
fruit, nuts, seeds and other plant material that can be gathered without 
killing  the plant (e.g. pears can be picked without killing the plant, carrots 
cannot).  
5. Many vegetarians follow a meat-free diet in an attempt to lower the  
pressure meat production places on the environment. According to Wikipedia.org, 
 growing crops for farm animals requires nearly half of the United States' 
water  supply and 80% of its agricultural land.  
6. Other people go the vegetarian route for religious reasons. Some of the  
denominations that actively advocate vegetarianism include the Hare Krishna and 
 Rastafarian movements.  
7. British research shows that a child's IQ predicts his likelihood of  
becoming a vegetarian as a young adult. You guessed it: the smarter the child,  
the more likely he'll eventually shun meat.  
8. While veggie eating holds many health benefits, it also has other  
interesting effects on the body: research shows that avoiding red meat improves 
 the sex appeal of male body odour.  
9. The list of famous vegetarians includes Sir Paul McCartney, Ozzy Osborne,  
Sinead O'Connor, Brad Pitt, Albert Einstein, Henry Ford and Leonardo da Vinci.  
10. And then, of course, it's believed that Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian  
during the latter part of his life. In fact, it's said that he predicted that  
the world of the future would be vegetarian. Records show that Hitler amused  
himself by telling grim stories of slaughterhouses while entertaining  
meat-eating guests. When they were put off their food, he would mock them for  
their hypocrisy. On one such occasion, he remarked: "That shows how cowardly  
people are. They can't face doing certain horrible things themselves, but they  
enjoy the benefits without a pang of conscience.”

Breaking news - bird flu outbreak in England   

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h4z_Ugpa0UYwp7CmJNz0feyeHGbQD8SSU93G0
 
CNN Television is reporting an outbreak of the dangerous strain of bird flu in 
England (I believe on a turkey farm). 
 
 Bird Flu is another result of dangerous industrial farming practices.  
 
 Hopefully, it will make some people think twice about eating turkeys for the 
holidays, which are subject to extreme cruelty.

All-vegans-unite Fwd: Oxford U student newspaper article with Lindy Greene (AR extroidinaire)

[Kerri Milam]

Lindy Greene wrote:Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 09:36:22 -0800
Subject: [AntiFurSociety] RE: Oxford U student newspaper asked me to comment...
   
 Oxford University asked me to comment  on two recent ALF arson attacks against 
a couple of its vivisectors' cars.  I incorporated and  revised some of what I 
said in the LA Times about Edythe  London:
  
 Vivisection is simultaneously an animal  rights and a human rights issue. Data 
from one species cannot be extrapolated to  another with more than 5-25% 
reliability (note that simply tossing a coin  would yield 50%) and explains why 
no cures come down the pike for decades. It  also underlies the multiple 
thousands of consumer injuries and deaths each year  from adverse reactions to 
drugs and products  tested "safe" in animals.  
 
 The experimental psychology hobgoblins are  the most perverted of the lot. 
Cognizant that animal abuse  is the hallmark symptom of psychopathology, they 
visit their darkest compulsions  on animals while their dysfunctional 
consciences are not pricked in the  slightest by the knowledge that they are 
concomitantly harming humans.  They provide the incontrovertible proof that 
their  condition is irremediable by any recognized modern therapeutic  modality.
  
 History strives to teach us lessons that we stubbornly refuse to  learn. When 
legitimate grievances go consistently unheard and unaddressed,  the attendant 
frustration expresses itself with increasing vehemence. Every  sociopolitical 
movement has ultimately had to resort to violence against  the oppressors or 
their property as a consequence of the  inescapable observation that it is the 
only means to engage with those  whose native cognitive and empathic deficits 
render them otherwise  unreachable and impervious to reform.
  
 The Animal Liberation Front adheres to a non-negotiable policy that no  life - 
human or animal - be harmed during an action. The vivisectors  perpetrate the 
most heinous of atrocities against animals on a daily basis but  solicit public 
sympathy and clamor for law enforcement assistance when a little  deserved 
retribution finally comes their way. Like all psychopaths, they can  dish it 
out but can't take it. 
  
 Activists who have the guts and gumption to risk life, limb, and  liberty to 
stand up for sentient beings who cannot speak or act in  their own behalf are 
always the unsung heroes who must endure the  libelous barbs of those who lack 
the equivalent courage and moral  fortitude. It is up to the brave warriors of 
the "moonlight  militia" to dispense the only justice available to creatures 
whom  society would arbitrarily place outside the circle of moral compassion  
and beyond the reach of effective defense.

 LL Bean is proud to sell fur:
 
 Let's all write to LL Bean to educate them 
  
 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
  
 Thank you for contacting L.L.Bean. I apologize if our products offend  you. 
  
 We do understand the sensitivity some customers may have related to real fur 
products. We try to appeal to all our customers by providing both natural and 
synthetic products in our diverse product line. We also require that all our 
vendors source their materials using only suppliers who adhere to ethical 
procedures and practices. 
 L.L.Bean sells many products that are made using different animal by-products 
- leather (deer, calf, lamb, cow, bison, elk and kangaroo), goose down and 
feathers, cashmere, silk, and wool. In addition, we sell hundreds of products 
made from synthetic materials. Our customers 
 appreciate the choice. 
 L.L. Bean is a 95-year-old Maine company that specializes in offering 
 products and expertise to our customers who enjoy a variety of outdoor 
 activities. Our company founder, Mr. "L.L." Bean, was an avid 
 outdoorsman whose first product, the Maine Hunting Shoe, was designed to help 
hunters and fishers keep their feet dry. 
 L.L. Bean was founded on the Maine outdoor traditions of hunting, 
 fishing, and camping. We have expanded our product line over the years 
 to include many more outdoor recreational activities such as 
 cross-country skiing, biking and in-line skating. However, our 
 customers still look to us to provide quality products, service and 
 expertise that support the traditional pursuits of hunting and fishing 
 we consider integral to our heritage and product line. Our faux and 
 real fur products fall under this category. 
  
 Thank you again for sharing your comments with us. You are a valued 
 customer and we hope to be of service to you in the future.

 [Note: Photos (click here) and video of the below raid are available by 
contacting the North American Animal Liberation Press Office.]
 
 Received anonymously
 NOVEMBER 5, 2007
 
 On the night of Thursday November 1st, the Animal Liberation Front entered a 
shed at Shepherd's Egg Farm near Spanish Fork, Utah to liberate as many hens as 
possible from this living hell.
 
 In this single shed out of several, we saw literally tens of thousands of hens 
suffering in conditions even worse than we imagined. Words cannot sufficiently 
capture this nightmare. They were so crowded in battery cages they could hardly 
move at all, let alone spread their wings. They all had significant feather 
loss from struggling to get through the wire cages to escape for their lives. 
Many birds had their heads or wings stuck in the wires of their cages, and were 
left to die because they could not reach any food or water. Their beaks had 
been mutilated by factory workers. Everyday they must breathe in the 
overwhelming and disgusting stench from the mountains of manure below their 
cages.  It should be no surprise that none of these birds receive one bit of 
veterinary care for their numerous injuries and diseases.There was a hole in 
the floor of the farm for workers to throw dead birds into a garbage can below 
(see footage). While the view inside Shepherd's Eggs was
 gruesome, it is in no way unique. These cruelties can be found in all modern 
egg farms, including so-called "free range" facilities.
 
 We moved quickly to remove as many birds as we could. We knew that Shepherd's 
Eggs cared so little about their birds that they would likely not even notice 
that they were gone. We took one or two from each cage, so the remaining 
chickens would have a little more room. The exploiters will try to scare 
consumers out of supporting this liberation by saying we increased a risk of 
some sort of biological contamination. This is a lie. We took every possible 
precaution to ensure we wouldn't harm the hens or ourselves, including being 
covered head to toe with all of the necessary bio-safety gear.
 
 Altogether we rescued 102 hens. All hens received veterinary care and were 
placed in loving homes. They ran around their new homes with joy, appreciative 
of their first experience of freedom. None were released into the wild. In 
their new homes they all have access to the outdoors. They can all breathe in 
fresh air. They are able to dust bathe and scratch the soil, instead of metal 
wires. They will all live out their full lifespan here instead of being killed 
when no longer profitable. In other words, these chickens can finally live like 
chickens.
 
 All sentient animals, like these chickens, will always suffer as long as they 
are seen as nothing more than objects whose exploitation leads to increased 
profits and cheaper food. The only solution is to simply stop buying eggs and 
other animal products. Less than 1% of the hens at Shepherd's Eggs could be 
rescued today. It's up to consumers to save the other 99%.
 
 Until consumers become responsible and stop paying the exploiters, you can 
count on the ALF to continue hurting their profits directly through property 
destruction and other forms of economic sabotage. Around the world the ALF is 
making progress and saving lives. This action is dedicated to all animal 
liberation prisoners including Barry Horne. Barry died six years ago today on a 
hunger strike. He would still be alive today if it wasn't for the stubborn 
cruelty of humanity. We will never forget Barry and we will never forgive the 
exploiters.

TO ALL GROUPS
 
 EBAY CUSTOMERS SELLING FOX HUNTING DVD'S - PLEASE COMPLAIN ASAP
 
 Swap team have received the email below from one of our supporters and 
 friend and we have been asked to put this out to everyone on our email list.
 Please read the email below and make your polite complaint to ebay at this 
 addy ukrswebhelp@ ebay.com
 Sample complaint below but please use your own words and quote the item 
 numbers of the dvds being sold.
 Many thanks for your support
 SWAP team
 
 Hello everyone,
 I just wanted to ask if you could check out the dvds currently being sold on 
 ebay by various sellers which boast of scenes of fox hunting before the ban, 
 including hounds in cry, digging out etc. I'm worried these are providing 
 both support and encouragement to the fox hunting industry. I feel it is 
 also realistic to say that these dvds could also encourage some individuals 
 to join or follow hunts which still operate outside of the law, which as we 
 all know is still a massive problem at the moment.
 If you've got a spare five mins I would like to ask if you could all email 
 ebays customer services on ukrswebhelp@ ebay.com asking them to permanently 
 remove and ban such items. while I admit it's not perfect I have included a 
 sample email at the bottom of the page- feel free to send your own but 
 please keep them polite and constructive. Item numbers for the dvds include; 
 280173208684, 330188526815, 330188741522, 180182950236 with item numbers 
 220172580357 and 280174284940 while they state they are for educational 
 purposes only they also state that they can improve your fox hunting 
 skills...sick hey? Thanks for your time.
 
 Sample email
 
 I wish to draw your attention to ebay being used for the sale of dvds that 
 are promoting the illlegal bloodsport of fox hunting, items such as 
 330188741522 and 180182950236 proudly boast of views of the hunt in action 
 while item 280174284940 actually implies that individuals will be better at 
 hunting a fox after watching it. There are a number of dvds of the same 
 nature, a simple search under fox hunting dvds brings up a wide range. I 
 feel it is a major concern that ebay is being used for the promotion and 
 encouragement of what is an illegal and barbaric activity and it is with 
 this that I ask ebay to strongly consider the removal of these items with a 
 ban instigated for future items that could be seen to promote illegal fox 
 hunting, Many thanks.

 Dear ebay customer services
 It has been brought to our immediate attention that ebay customers are 
 selling dvd's promoting scenes of fox hunting with dogs. This thankfully is 
 now an illegal sport and has no place being promoted on a public website. 
 The majority of people in the UK are against this barbaric and outdated 
 blood sport which inflicts the most heinous crimes on our wildlife, we 
 therefore politely urge you to implement a ban on the sale and distribution 
 of this type of offensive material.
 We suspect that you will receive many other complaints of this nature and we 
 feel that from a moral as well as a legal point of view you should give this 
 your immediate attention. Any other product that promotes animal cruelty ie 
 fur items being sold on ebay should be removed without hesitation.
 May we also remind you that hunting with dogs is now illegal therefore any 
 promotion of this on ebay is in direct contravention of the law. The items 
 numbers for your perusal are 280173208684, 330188526815, 330188741522, 
 180182950236,  220172580357, and 280174284940.

 A man of  kindness, to his beast is kind.
 But,  brutal actions, show a brutal  mind:
 Remember,  He who made thee, made the  brute,
 Who gave  thee speach and reason, formed him  mute;
 He can't  complain, but God's omnicient  eye
 Beholds  thy cruelty - He hears his cry!
 He was  designed thy servant; not thy  drudge,
 But know  - That his Creator is thy judge.
 Unknown  author from The Ladies' Equestrian Guide,  1857.

[Kerri Milam]

This is an excellent list of many important AR videos. I would encourage 
everyone to download or save in your email files and use them to send to others 
who are not aware of the many abuses of animals. Many are in German as that is 
where the source of these came from.
Thanks!

http://veg-tv.info/Slaughterhouse:_The_Task_of_Blood

The vast majority of people in Britain eat meat but have little knowledge of 
how that meat ends up on their table. In a powerful observational documentary, 
Slaughterhouse: The Task of Blood reveals the day-to-day workings of a small, 
family-run abattoir and attempts to get inside the minds of the people who work 
there. It's a hidden part of British life, but the reality is that thousands of 
animals are slaughtered every day in abattoirs. This film shows the process of 
meat production as animals are killed, butchered and stored in fridges before 
being transported to retail outlets. It reveals the attitudes of the workers to 
their task, their colleagues and life. Slaughterhouse: The Task Of Blood is 
produced by BAFTA award winning film-maker, Brian Hill.

http://veg-tv.info/Earthlings

"Earthlings" ist eine Dokumentation in Spielfilmlänge über die absolute 
Abhängigkeit der Menschheit von Tieren (als Haustiere, Nahrung, Kleidung, zur 
Unterhaltung und in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung), veranschaulicht aber 
auch unsere Geringschätzung gegenüber diesen sog. "nicht-menschlichen 
Versorgern". Sprecher des Films ist der Oscar-nominierte Joaquin Phoenix 
("Gladiator"), die Filmmusik schrieb der mit Platin ausgezeichnete Künstler 
Moby. 
Der Film bietet detaillierte Einblicke in Tierhandlungen, Welpen-Fabriken und 
Tierheime sowie Massentierhaltungen, den Leder- und Pelzhandel, die Sport- und 
Unterhaltungsindustrie und schließlich den medizinischen und wissenschaftlichen 
Beruf. "Earthlings" verwendet versteckte Kameras und vorher nicht gezeigtes 
Filmmaterial, um die täglichen Praktiken einiger der größten Industrien der 
Welt aufzuzeichnen, deren aller Profit vollständig auf Tieren beruht. 
Kraftvoll, informativ und zum Nachdenken anregend, ist "Earthlings" mit Abstand 
die umfassendste jemals produzierte Dokumentation zum Verhältnis zwischen 
Natur, Tieren und menschlichen Wirtschaftsinteressen. Es existieren viele 
würdige Tierrechtsfilme, aber dieser Film geht über das Bisherige hinaus. 
"Earthlings" schreit danach, gesehen zu werden. Höchst empfehlenswert!

Wegmans Cruelty is a documentary produced by a small investigative team from 
the organization Compassionate Consumers. Organization members contacted 
Wegmans Food Markets to try to hold some meaningful dialogue about the 
conditions at Wegmans Egg Farm, and were then misled and dismissed by Wegmans 
representatives. The team set out to capture actual footage inside the farm and 
create a film based on their experience. The film features statements from 
Wegmans representatives, interviews with the investigators, and footage of what 
life and death is like inside of an "Animal Care Certified" battery cage 
facility.

 I want to compliment you on a phenomenal documentary.  It is extremely  
powerful and I was so thrilled to see you covered everything that Al Gore did  
not.  It flows so well from the global warming problem to livestock to the  
health aspects and finishing up with the brutal and horrific treatment of the  
animals for what ... a meal?  I am so sensitive to the feelings of animals  
that I shook uncontrollably for about a half an hour after I had managed to 
stop  crying - it is quite unbelievable to me that anyone can treat anything in 
such a  manner - the cow's tears will never leave me - as all the shocking  
atrocities committed against all these sentient beings.  How can we  possibly 
call our society civilized?  I keep copies of many of  the documentaries made 
about animal suffering such as Earthlings, Meet your  Meat, If this is Kosher, 
Delicacy of Despair and others, which I either give to  people or loan out but 
to be honest with you I cannot watch as I become 
 immobilized - I did watch yours and it is inconceivable what is done to these  
innocent beings.  Anyone with an ounce of morality will change their life  
after watching your documentary for the sake of the animals, the earth and  
their health.
  
 I plan to ask some people I know who belong to synagogues here to set up  
appointments with several rabbis and give them a copy of the documentary and 
ask  whether they would share this with their congregation -  actually the way 
I  feel right now I just want to put up huge screens everywhere and make sure 
the  public see the indescribable suffering these animals endure and the  
treatment of them for nothing more than an unhealthy  meal.  I have found that 
a powerful tool I use for those people  insensitive to animal suffering is 
giving them a copy of The China Study to  read, and everyone I have given the 
book to (my daughter finds that her friends  have become vegan after she has 
given them Skinny Bitch) has gone vegan  (one gentleman in South Africa aged 88 
and one in Florida aged 83) and from  there have begun to explore the books 
available on food and animals such  as your book Richard and John Robbins and 
Howard Lyman's books - many have  written to me and said that
 they cannot believe they once ate animals after  reading about the treatment 
of the animals and the illness that can be avoided  by going vegan.  
  
 Thank you for making such a powerful, powerful and truthful documentary  that 
I believe will educate the public about the urgency of changing our  habits if 
they are wise enough to do so, and will help the precious animals  and our 
planet. 
  
  Thank you so much!!!

All-vegans-unite Social Documentary Photographer seeks used dog/cat collars for photo project to help animals

[Kerri Milam]

PLEASE  CROSSPOST - AND POST THIS  
 Artist  seeking used dog & cat collars for project to demonstrate the plight 
of  euthanized pets!!!
  
 Social Documentary  Photographer seeksused dog/cat collars
 

  PLease Cross post widely and ask rescues to send used  collars for 
this project see address below. 

This photographer Chris  Jordan, is famous for making social 
commentary by creating large photos  that demonstrate the scale in 
which we consume products and discard them  without a care. 

He wants to do one on the daily disposal & death of  companion 
animals. He has asked for the rescue community to mail used animal  
collars so he can create a large scale piece to symbolize the 
number of  animals killed in the USA. 

Chris Jordan's work is shown in  museums and galleries world wide, 
and the subject of a recent documentary. A  link to see some of his 
work is: http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_ set2.php
Please support  his efforts. He needs 200 collars to make this a 
reality. 
Vicki
Nick  of Time dog rescue

Hello Vicki, 
thank you for your touching message.  I have been thinking for quite 
awhile about doing a piece about this. The  best idea I have so far 
is to use collars. I have been talking to several  humane societies 
around the country, trying to find a few hundred collars,  but I 
can't find anywhere that has them and is willing to give them to me.  
Do you know of a source for a couple of shopping bags full of used 
dog  and cat collars? If so I would do a piece about this subject 
right away.  

Cheers and warm regards,

to kill them when they wonder into his yard.
   
In November, he decorates his home and yard with images of turkey dressed as

The following week, he goes out to hunt and kill deer by the millions.
   
In December, he decorates his home and yard with white-lights wrapped around

All-vegans-unite Help end the live dog lab at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

[Kerri Milam]

   
  
Can you help us end the live 
dog labs at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine? Twenty years 
ago, live animals were commonly used in physiology, pharmacology, and surgery 
classes at medical schools. A standard lab involved anesthetizing the animal, 
followed by injecting pharmaceuticals or practicing surgical techniques. After 
the class, the animal was killed. 
   Today, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is the 
only medical school that still uses dogs in these cruel and unnecessary 
exercises. Between February and April 2008, two live dog labs are scheduled to 
take place at Case Western as part of surgery electives. 
  Fortunately, most schools have eliminated live animal labs from 
their curricula altogether. Innovations in medical simulation technology, 
availability of alternatives, increased awareness of ethical concerns, and a 
growing acknowledgement that medical training must be human-focused have all 
facilitated this shift. Only 11 schools in the United States still use live 
animals (dogs or pigs) in their curricula.
  What You Can Do:
   Send an e-mail to the dean of the School of Medicine and 
urge her to immediately end the use of live dogs in the surgery courses. Or, 
you can write to her at the addresses below. Being polite is the most effective 
way to help these dogs.

  Posted by:  "DawnWatch" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 karendawn1 Wed Nov 28, 
2007 2:27 pm(PST)   Here's a DawnWatch to make you 
smile:
 Check out today's, November 28, Bizarro cartoon!
 You'll find it on line at:
 http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/fun/Bizarro.asp?date=20071128
 
 Bizarro, created by Dan Piraro, is internationally syndicated in 250 
newspapers. It has won the National Cartoonists’ Society’s "Best Newspaper 
Cartoon Panel" three times and been nominated many more. If your paper is one 
of the many, including the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, which carry 
Bizarro, today's cartoon gives you a great opportunity for a letter to the 
editor about the serious point behind the laugh. I just singled out two huge 
newspapers, but smaller papers publish a much higher proportion of letters they 
receive, so if your smaller paper carries Bizarro, why not dash off a quick 
note. If you can't find the email address for a letter to the editor, I am 
happy to help. 
 Always include your full name, address, and daytime phone number when sending 
a letter to the editor. 
 
 If your paper doesn't carry Bizarro (astounding New York papers don't, though 
the sensibility is so New York) you might want to put in a good word for it 
with the cartoon editor. While it is certainly not an animal rights cartoon, 
the creator is an animal rights guy, so there are fun animal message cartoons 
from time to time. 
 
 I am going to take this opportunity to note with delight that Dan Piraro and 
King have granted me permission to use about forty of his cartoons in my 
upcoming book. ("Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way we Treat Animals" -- 
Harper). Meanwhile, you'll find many of his animal friendly cartoons, and 
information about his own books on his site www.Bizarro. com
 
 In case you can't get to the link above, showing today's Bizarro cartoon, I 
will give the joke away (stop reading now if you plan to take a look):
 The cartoon is headed, "Chicken breast feeding." A gal is sitting in a cafe 
wearing a "Go Veg" t-shirt. She says to the woman next to her, who is feeding 
her toddler pieces of chicken breast, "MUST you do that in public?" 
 
 Yours and the animals',

 McDonald's is taking in-school marketing to a new low.
 Last week, students in Seminole   County, Florida received their report cards 
in envelopes adorned with the Ronald McDonald promising a free Happy Meal to 
students in kindergarten through fifth grade with good grades, behavior, or 
attendance.  Targeting children directly with the message that doing well in 
school should be rewarded by a Happy Meal undermines parents' efforts to 
encourage healthy eating.  And if parents want to reward their kids' school 
performance, they are intelligent enough to determine what kind of reward, if 
any, is appropriate.  They don't need any help from a corporation whose real 
concern is its bottom line.
  
 Tell McDonald's:  Stop advertising on report cards.
 The promotion highlights McDonald's duplicity when it when comes to marketing 
to children. McDonald's has pledged to stop all advertising in elementary 
schools.  When questioned about the report cards, a McDonald's spokesperson 
claimed the promotion isn't marketing.  If that's what McDonald's believes, 
their pledge isn't worth the paper it is printed on.
 McDonald's has also received kudos for its pledge to only advertise its

 Suwanee shelter welcomes Vick dogs
Three of seized animals could land in Ga.

 Three of Michael Vick's former pit bull terriers could soon be headed to a 
Suwanee shelter.
 A local rescue group has agreed to take the dogs, two that should be adoptable 
quickly and one that might need lifetime care.

 "I'm excited they're going to get a second chance," said Joan Sammond, 
executive director the Georgia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
 The dogs were among a group 53 pit bulls seized from the Virginia home of the 
suspended Falcons quarterback. Rebecca J. Huss, an animal law expert at the 
Valparaiso University School of Law, was appointed guardian of the dogs by U.S. 
District Judge Henry E. Hudson in October. This week Huss filed a motion 
recommending the surviving dogs seized from the property on June 22 be placed 
with eight different rescue groups. Six other dogs have either died or had to 
be euthanized.
 Valparaiso spokesman Tom Shaer said it is likely the judge will approve the 
motion and order the dogs placed with the various groups, including Best 
Friends Animal Society in Utah and BAD RAP, a group in California that 
specializes in pit bull rescue.
 "Professor Huss expects the dogs to be moved by the end of the month to these 
eight facilities," Shaer said.
 As part of the recommendation, the groups getting the dogs will also receive 
funding to help pay for their care. Dogs that were deemed adoptable will come 
with $5,000, while those that might need to spend a long period of time, or 
their entire lives, in a shelter or sanctuary will come with $20,000.
 Sammond said the organization hopes that even the dog that requires lifetime 
care will eventually be adoptable. The earliest any would be available for 
adoption is mid-February, she said.
 Vick has deposited $928,073.04 into an escrow account to pay for the 
evaluation and care of the dogs. He's also scheduled to be sentenced Monday 
after pleading guilty Aug. 27 to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge. Two 
co-defendants were sentenced last week to 18 and 21 months in prison.
 The U.S. Attorney's office filed a motion this week urging the judge to accept 
Huss' recommendations, saying the "amount of effort and attention to detail by 
Professor Huss is nothing short of extraordinary."
 Shaer said the school is proud of Huss' work.
 "We consider this to be the beginning of a very happy ending for these dogs, 
which were once commonly expected to be put down," he said.

 (PERSONAL NOTE: PLEASE WRITE. SEEHOFER AND HIS PARTY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR 
OVERTURNING THE ALREADY AGREED-ON BAN IN GERMANY THAT WAS TO TAKE EFFECT  2008. 
THE EGG LOBBY IN CONCERT WITH THE CURRENT COALITION POSTPONED THE BAN TIL 2009. 
THEY WANT TO POSTPONE IT INDEFINITELY !! DO NOT LET THEM )


Help Enforce EU Ban on Battery Cages 

In 1999, the European Union decided that battery cages for hens
would be banned by 2012. Now, members of the egg industry and
some EU countries are lobbying to overturn or delay the ban.
Read more and act now!
http://getactive.peta.org/ct/ddwjYD11y4S1/

MORE INFO:

Help enforce EU ban on battery cages

In 1999, the European Union judged that battery cages are so cruel they should 
be banned across the EU and passed legislation, known as the Laying Hens 
Directive, requiring the egg industry to stop confining hens in battery cages 
by 2012. Not surprisingly, members of the egg industry and some EU member 
states are lobbying to overturn or delay the ban because they mistakenly 
believe it will be economically damaging. In truth, it costs only pennies more 
to produce cage-free eggs instead of battery eggs, and surveys show that most 
consumers are willing to pay more for cage-free eggs. Many retailers and 
foodservice operators, including Marks and Spencer, McDonald's, Starbucks, and 
Waitrose, support the ban and sell only cage-free eggs in the UK. The cost will 
be even less if the government subsidises cage-free producers. 

A few extra pence is a small price to pay to help lessen animal suffering. Each 
year in the EU, around 300 million hens are crammed into filthy wire-mesh 
battery cages stacked tier upon tier in huge warehouses. Several birds are 
crowded into each cage, packed so tightly together that they are unable to 
spread even one wing. The birds suffer crippling leg injuries from standing on 
wire cage floors 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until they are killed. 
Their bones are brittle both from forced inactivity and because calcium is 
leached from their bodies to produce eggs.  Many more hens suffer from painful 
injuries when they're ripped from their cages, thrown into transport crates, 
and shipped to slaughter. Without even a shred of straw for comfort, all of the 
hen’s natural instincts – including nesting, perching, scratching and pecking – 
are denied. These birds never get the chance to breathe fresh air, feel the sun 
on their backs, build nests, raise their young, or do
 anything else that is natural and important to them.   

Lord Rooker, the UK Minister for Sustainable Food and Farming and Animal 
Health, recently announced that battery cages will be banned in the UK as of 
2012, despite opposition from the egg industry and regardless of what happens 
in the rest of Europe. 

The egg industry and many EU Member States are pushing for the Laying Hens 
Directive to be delayed for up to ten years. Germany has a separate nation ban 
due to come into force earlier than the EU ban – in 2009. However now doubts 
are cast over Germany’s commitment to their national ban as all the other 
northern EU member states have stressed that they do not wish the ban to be 
postponed but Germany is yet to make it clear whether or not they will support 
a postponement. 
  
You Can Help:
 
PETA is calling for Horst Seehofer, the German Agriculture Minister to lead the 
way towards an EU ban on battery cages for hens and enforce Germany’s own 
national ban in 2009. It is vitally important that the EU ban not be postponed 
and come into force as planned in 2012. Please write to Horst Seehofer asking 
him to help the 300 million hens in the EU who are currently crammed into 
filthy wire-mesh battery cages stacked tier upon tier in huge warehouses.

Students  kill, cook, eat baby raccoon in class


06:26 PM CST on  


Wednesday, December 12, 2007


By Rucks Russell   
11 News 


A controversy is brewing at Columbus High  School over the treatment of a
baby raccoon. 


"They started  stepping and stomping on it, joking they're tenderizing
the animal," Police  Chief Danny Jackson. 


"They skinned that raccoon, cooked it and ate  it." 


Some have described the incident, which occurred in October, as  blatant
animal cruelty. 


It happened during a wildlife management  class in which students were
encouraged to harvest and prep wildlife to be  cooked out back and
consumed. 


"From what I understand, they bring  the animals in dead. But these two
didn't. 


They brought it in  alive," Jackson said. 

AP


Jackson says they then beat the  animal to death in front of stunned
classmates. 


According to the  superintendent, it wasn't supposed to happen that
way.  


He  said a substitute teacher was in the class that day and simply didn't
know  any better. 


"And with the substitute teacher there, they in essence  had permission
to  process the animal there. 


Regrettably  that happened. It won't happen again," Superintendent Randy
Hoyer said.  


Animal Cruelty 101?


Was killing the raccoon animal  cruelty?


Yes!


No!


View Results


Those  assurances come too late for the students who witnessed the
act.  Their  complaints led police and wildlife officials to
investigate. 


But  11 News has learned there will be no criminal charges against the
two  students involved because most of the witnesses have said the animal
died  quickly. 


"And so the suffering was minimal," Jackson said.  


Whether it was cruel or just an unfortunate mistake depends on who  you
ask. 


"Basically everybody knows how to skin something, what's  the difference
between a raccoon and a squirrel," student Charles Palachic  said. 


"It was animal cruelty," student Stephanie Zavala said.  


The class is apparently part of a tradition at the school,  where
students learn how to prepare food in the wild, should they ever  need
to.

All-vegans-unite Fwd: Heifer International: Giving animal suffering for Christmas

[Kerri Milam]

R Eisenberg  wrote:

 Dear friends,

I just received the Christmas issue of the Heifer
International catalogue, urging me to purchase an
animal to send to help feed the poor in developing
nations.  

>From their website:

"Heifer International was founded in 1944 by Church of
the Brethren educator Dan West. His vision of a
worldwide program to end hunger and poverty was born
of his Christian faith. From the beginning, this
vision has encompassed all spiritual paths and all
people who understood that to serve God, we serve our
brothers and sisters."

In keeping with it's Christian roots Heifer
International is sacrificing animal lives to spread
it's message that humans have dominion over animals
and can do with them what they wish.

The following is a list of projects (i.e. animals
being sent to) in China. In total disregard of what
might happen to these animals in a nation that has the
worst track record for animal abuse on the planet,
they are sending livestock (i.e. living beings)as
breeding stock of future generations to be slaughtered
and consumed.

http://www.heifer.org/site/c.edJRKQNiFiG/b.2665753/

I cannot think of a more callous disregard for the
lives of these animals.

As you can see from looking at their website they have
projects in many other nations as well:

http://www.heifer.org/site/c.edJRKQNiFiG/b.2665753/

That they see this as a gesture of kindness only
highlights the Chiristian view that animals are
commodities to be bartered for ingratiating themselves
into the lives of the recipients. That they are
continuing the judeo/christian tradition of
permissible killing of animals at a time when there is
so much violence throughout the world, also
demonstrates that they do not understand the link
between violence to animals and violence to humans.

If you wish to protest their insensitivity  to the
lives of our animal brethren please send you comments

  The horse slaughter industry lobbyists are there at the U.S. Capitol, working 
to convince Senators to vote against the bill. The horses have only you.  Horse 
slaughter in the United States has been shut down by the dramatic federal court 
rulings this year.  But it's not over.  U.S. horses can still be shipped to 
other countries for slaughter for human consumption.  This bill is essential to 
ensure horses are not shipped abroad for slaughter for human consumption and

amend the Horse Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. 1821 and end the "shipping,

or donation of any horse or other equine to be slaughtered for human 
consumption" in foreign or interstate commerce.  Check ALC's Pending Bills for

  Remember Beltex Corporation, owner of one of the now-shuttered Texas horse 
slaughterhouses, also owns a controlling interest in a third slaughterhouse, 
Empacadora de Carnes de Fresnillo, that operates in Mexico. There is no law 
right now that stops the shipment of horses to Mexico or any other country for 
slaughter. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in 2006 33,400 
horses were sent from the U.S. to Mexico or Canada for slaughter. 
  Illinois' Anti-Horse Slaughter Law 
  Notably, Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojjevich has  signed H.B. 1711, making 
it illegal in that state to slaughter horses for human consumption. This 
stunning victory for the horses guarantees the horse slaughter house owned by 
Cavel International, Inc. in DeKalb, Illinois will never reopen.  The new law 
also bans the export of Illinois horses for slaughter for human consumption.  
  Other States 
  Other states are also attacking horse slaughter this year. Bills are pending 
in New Jersey and New York that would end the sale, distribution or possession 
of horses for slaughter for human consumption.  The New York bill has already 
passed the state senate.

All-vegans-unite Fwd: HELP: Animal cruelty favored by Miami-Dade Commissioners - WRITE

Subject: HELP: Animal cruelty favored by Miami-Dade Commissioners - WRITE

 Please crosspost widely
 
 On Tuesday, January 22, the Miami-Dade County Commission refused to vote on 
the tethering ban ordinance that was proposed by the County's Dept. of Animal 
Services. By refusing to vote, commissioners are allowing dogs to spend their 
lives on the end of a chain. Please don't let this cruelty stand. Help the dogs 
by writing to Commissioners.
 
 The Commissioner's statements against the tethering ban showed that they 
didn't care that chained dogs suffer terribly or that the AVMA, animal lovers 
and animal protection groups condemn tethering. They were only concerned about 
losing the votes of people who keep their dogs chained. Breeders and the AKC 
lobbied against the ban. 
 
 At the bottom of this alert is the ban introduced by Miami-Dade Animal 
Services.
 
 WHAT YOU CAN DO:
 
 Write and fax the Miami-Dade County Commissioners. Explain why chaining is 
cruel. Tell them to be humane and pass a ban that protects dogs. Other 
jurisdictions have enacted tethering ban ordinances. If you plan to boycott 
travel to Miami Beach and Miami until a good tethering ban is passed, please 
say so.

 Facts about chaining: 
 
 Continuous tethering makes dogs aggressive:
 
 A 1994 study by the Centers for Disease Control found that chained dogs are 
2.8 times more likely to bite.
 
 The American Veterinary Medical Association said in 2003, "Never tether or 
chain your dog because this can contribute to aggressive behavior."
 
 When confronted with a threat, dogs instinctively run or fight. A chained dog, 
unable to flee, often feels forced to fight, attacking any unfamiliar animal or 
person who comes into his or her territory. Children have been injured or 
killed after going into a chained dog's area, or encountering a dog who has 
broken free from a chain.
 
 
 Continuous tethering is inhumane:
 
 In 1996, The United States Department of Agriculture said, "Our experience in 
enforcing the Animal Welfare Act has led us to conclude that continuous 
confinement of dogs by a tether is inhumane."
 
 Tethered dogs are easy targets for attacks by other animals. They are killed 
or injured by extremes in weather, poisoned by humans, and made sick from 
animal feces or bird droppings. In many cases, the necks of chained dogs become 
raw and covered with sores from the dogs' constant yanking and straining to 
escape confinement. Dogs have been found with collars embedded in their necks.
 
 Dogs are social animals. Tethering inflicts cruelty on dogs by forcing them to 
live in solitary confinement, unable to interact normally. Lonely and isolated, 
chained dogs are know to bark excessively at all hours of the day and night.
 
 The tethering ban proposed by Miami-Dade County Animal Services:
 
 Sec. 5-21.  Tethering of dogs.
 (a) As used in this section, tether means to restrain a dog by tying the dog 
to any object or structure, including without limitation a house, tree, fence, 
post, garage, or shed, by any means, including without limitation a chain, 
rope, cord, leash, or running line.  Tethering shall not include using a leash 
to walk a dog.
 (b) It shall be unlawful for a responsible party to tether the dog while 
outdoors, except when all of the following conditions are met: 
 (1) The dog is in visual range of the responsible party, and the responsible 
party is located outside with the dog.
 (2) The tether is connected to the dog by a buckle-type collar or a body 
harness made of nylon or leather, not less than one inch in width.
 (3) The tether has the following properties:  it is at least five times the 
length of the dog's body, as measured from the tip of the nose to the base of 
the tail; it terminates at both ends with a swivel; it does not weigh more than 
1/8 of the dog's weight; and it is free of tangles.
 (4) The dog is tethered in such a manner as to prevent injury, strangulation, 
or entanglement.
 (5) The dog is not outside during a period of extreme weather, including 
without limitation extreme heat or near-freezing temperatures, thunderstorms, 
tornadoes, tropical storms, or hurricanes.
 (6) The dog has access to water, shelter, and dry ground.
 (7) The dog is at least six (6) months of age.  Puppies shall not be tethered.
 (8) The dog is not sick or injured.
 (9) Pulley, running line, or trolley systems are at least 15 feet in length 
and are less than 7 feet above the ground.
 (10) If there are multiple dogs, each dog is tethered separately.

All-vegans-unite are you a homegrown terrorist?

[Kerri Milam]

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-w-whitehead/are-you-a-homegrown-terro_b_82935\
.html
The Huffington Post. 23 January 2008.
Are You a Homegrown Terrorist?

On its face, the Act, which was approved in the U.S. House of
Representatives by a vote of 404 to 6, would establish two
government-appointed bodies (one a national 10-member
commission, the other a university-based Center for
Excellence) to study, monitor and propose ways of curbing
homegrown terrorism and extremism in the United States.
However, as journalist Jessica Lee points out, the
legislation could actually succeed in "broaden[ing] the
definition of terrorism to encompass both First Amendment
political activity and traditional forms of protest such as
nonviolent civil disobedience."
The danger is the legislation's vague definitions of violent
radicalization and homegrown terrorism and the commission's
power to label individuals and groups as possible terrorists.
Violent radicalization, for example, is defined as "the
process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system
for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence
to advance political, religious, or social change." Note that
you don't actually have to commit violence to be labeled a
violent radical. You just have to adopt or promote a belief
system that differs with the government, which is easy enough
in these times of economic instability, expansive government
powers and endless wars.
The definition for homegrown terrorism is equally vague: "the
use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by
a group or individual born [or] raised...within the United
States...to intimidate or coerce the United States, the
civilian population...or any segment thereof."
Would abortion protesters or anti-war organizers be accused
of using "force" to "intimidate or coerce" others? What about
people who promote immigration views that are considered
"extremist"? By Congress failing to define what an "extremist
belief" is, what would constitute "ideologically based
violence" or the use of "force," it could mean anyone who
expresses a belief contrary to that held by the occupants of
the White House.
The concern, as Lee points out, is that the law will be used
"against U.S.-based groups engaged in legal but unpopular
political activism, ranging from political Islamists to
animal-rights and environmental campaigners to radical
right-wing organizations. There is concern, too, that the
bill will undermine academic integrity and is the latest
salvo in a decade-long government grab for power at the
expense of civil liberties."
The Senate version of this legislation, which finds that
domestic threats "cannot easily be prevented through
traditional Federal intelligence or law enforcement efforts,"
requires the creation of what would essentially join federal
agents and local police together in a single paramilitary
entity.
"This sounds like part of the same continuum we've
experienced in the last seven years, which is the effort to
deputize local law enforcement to work with the FBI and
national agencies without local accountability, as we have
seen with the establishment of joint-terrorism task forces
across the country," said Hope Marston of the Bill of Rights
Defense Committee. "When you talk about working with local
law enforcement to possibly spy on groups and individuals to
try to find the so-called 'needle in the haystack,' this
definitely poses a threat to local autonomy."
To Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United
States, H.R. 1955, as it is referred to, is just one more in
a long series of laws passed in times of foreign policy
tensions. He points out that the Alien and Sedition Acts of
1798, for instance, sent people to jail for criticizing the
Adams administration. And "During World War I, the Espionage
Act and Sedition Act sent close to a thousand people to jail
for speaking out against the war. On the eve of World War II,
the Smith Act was passed, harmless enough title, but it
enabled the jailing of radicals -- first Trotskyists during
the war and Communist party leaders after the war, for
organizing literature, etc., interpreted as conspiring to
overthrow the government by force and violence."
The true targets of this bill may be the anti-globalists and
radical environmentalists who pose a threat to the corporate
powers. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), the congresswoman who
introduced the bill, has enjoyed a long and productive
relationship with the RAND Corporation, a California-based
think tank with close ties to the
military-industrial-intelligence complex.
"Trends in Terrorism," a 2005 study by RAND, contains a
chapter titled "Homegrown Terrorist Threats to the United
States." In that study, RAND maintains that "homegrown
terrorism" will come from anti-globalists and radical
environmentalists who "challenge the intrinsic qualities of
capitalism." RAND also claims that anti-globalists and
radical environmentalists "exist in much the same operational
environment as

Chained dogs  bake outside in the intense tropical heat and sun of Miami-Dade 
County. Imagine  how painful it is for a dog when a scorching hot metal chain 
touches his paws,  nose or genitals. Chained dogs are also subject to tropical 
storm and hurricane  force winds. On Jan. 22, 2008, the Miami-Dade County 
Commission rejected a  tethering ordinance that would have established humane 
conditions for tethering.  The ordinance would have required people to be 
outside when their dogs are  chained. Please help the chained dogs of 
Miami-Dade County by writing to the  commissioners of Miami-Dade County.

Sample letter (Please personalize the  letter. If you're boycotting travel to 
Miami, please say so.)

Dear County  Commissioners:

Miami wants to be known as a glamorous and fun tourist  destination. A dog 
suffering on a chain in the hot tropical sun tarnishes this  image. Please 
approve the tethering ordinance that was proposed Miami-Dade  Animal Services, 
which would have imposed humane conditions for tethering,  including requiring 
people to be outside when their dog is chained. I am shocked  that in spite of 
all the evidence that demonstrates why chaining is cruel and  inhumane, often 
making "vicious monsters" out of otherwise gentle and social  animals, 
Miami-Dade County Commissioners refused to act on this important  legislation, 
which would have restricted this cruel and archaic practice.  

Dogs are social animals who instinctively want to be part of a group or  pack. 
Leaving dogs chained outside makes them aggressive. The Center for Disease  
Control reported that chained dogs are 2.8 times more likely to bite. Dogs who  
are forced to live at the end of a chain are at risk from the elements:  
blistering heat, windstorms, rain and lightning. They are also vulnerable to  
attacks by other animals. 

Numerous jurisdictions have enacted tethering  ban ordinances because studies 
show that to do so is not only humane, but it  also ultimately protects both 
dogs and people. I urge you to act at once to  enact this ordinance that will 
improve the lives of so many neglected and abused  animals. 

Sincerely,

 Hi Kerri,

Canine Cuisine
Pound-for-hound, some of the best doggone dishes around
By Robb Walsh
Published: February 3, 2005

Adventurous American eaters who scarf down durian, pig's intestines, and
stinky tofu may feel admirably multicultural. But what about dog? The
Korean dish poshingtan, which literally translated, means "body
preservation stew," is considered a health food in Seoul. Dog has been on
the menu in Korea for hundreds of years.

But in 2002, when international soccer teams visited Korea during the
World Cup competition, Korean poshingtan restaurants and dog meat salesmen
got a lot of heat from ill-mannered and culturally insensitive animal
rights activists.

Ahn Yong-keun, a South Korean food-science professor, responded to Western
critics. "I am sure that Westerners will like dog meat if they eat it," he
told reporters. "It is tasty and healthy." Ahn Yong-keun's defense of his
country's ancient canine cuisine failed to convert the foreign press who
dubbed him "Dr. Dogmeat."

Part of dog meat's PR problem may be rooted in the Korean cooking style.
Big hunks of bone with meat cooked in a soup have never appealed much to
Westerners, whether the meat in question is dog or chicken. So in the
interest of giving dog meat a fair shake, we have developed some recipes
for dog dishes we think the average Houstonian will be sure to love:

Chihuahua Chalupas

Low-fat Chihuahua meat combines beautifully with the sweetness of
caramelized onions on these crunchy canine chalupas!

1 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 pound Chihuahua meat
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup refried beans
4 chalupa shells
1/3 cup salsa
4 tablespoons crumbled queso fresco
4 cilantro sprigs

Preheat the oven to 375. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium
size skillet over medium heat. Cook the onions for 12 to 15 minutes or
until they turn nicely brown. Cut the Chihuahua meat across the grain into
very thin slices. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium size skillet
over high heat. Add the meat and cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
Remove the meat from the pan.

To assemble the chalupas, spread 1/4 of the beans onto each chalupa shell,
put 1/4 of the onion mixture on top of the beans, then add 1/4 of the
cooked Chihuahua. Spoon 1/4 of salsa over the meat and top with 1
tablespoon queso fresco. Place the chalupas in a warm oven until the
cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with a
cilantro sprig and more sauce. Yields 4 chalupas.

Springer Spaniel Spring Rolls

Looking for a tasty alternative to greasy pork in your spring rolls? Try
ground springer spaniel. It's inexpensive, and nearly fat free!

1 pound ground springer spaniel
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrots
3 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon chile sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
12 (7-inch square) spring roll wrappers

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Cook
the ground spaniel meat until evenly brown. In a medium bowl, mix together
spaniel meat, cabbage, carrots, green onions, cilantro, sesame oil, oyster
sauce, ginger, garlic and chile sauce.

Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl.

Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the spaniel mixture in the center of
each spring roll wrapper. Roll the wrappers around the mixture, folding
edges inward to close. Moisten fingers in the cornstarch and water
mixture, and brush wrapper seams to seal.

Arrange spring rolls in a single layer on a medium baking sheet. Brush
with vegetable oil. Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, until hot and
lightly browned.

German Shepherd Goulash

Hearty, flavorful, German Shepherd meat is just right for Hungarian
goulash. Be sure to use the best quality paprika for the richest flavor!

2 pounds German Shepherd, cut into one-inch chunks
1 teaspoon salt
2 onions
2 tablespoons lard or shortening
2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
2 bay leaves
4 peeled and diced potatoes
1 teaspoon black pepper

Chop the onions and brown them in the shortening. Add the meat and
paprika. Let the Shepherd meat simmer in its own juices along with bay
leaves and paprika for one hour on low heat. Then add water, diced
potatoes and salt. Cover and simmer until potatoes are done and meat is
tender. Serves 4 to 6.

All-vegans-unite Tell Rain to Ditch Fur!

[Kerri Milam]

http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/asia_pacific_rain

Tell Rain to Ditch Fur! Popular Korean singer Rain has been spotted 
wearing fur. Please join PETA Asia-Pacific in telling him to do the 
compassionate thing and pledge not to wear fur. 
 Animals trapped in the wild for their fur may suffer for days before dying 
from blood loss, infection, exposure, or attacks by predators. Some, especially 
mothers with babies to feed, chew off their own limbs in a desperate attempt to 
escape. Trapped animals are bludgeoned, drowned, or stomped to death. On fur 
farms, animals spend their lives pacing in tiny, filthy wire cages, where they 
often go insane before being gassed or anally electrocuted or having their 
necks broken. These methods don't always stun the animals, who often "wake up" 
while they are being skinned.
 Many entertainers and designers, including Karen Mok, Sir Paul McCartney, 
Stella McCartney, Maggie Q, Charlize Theron, and Mariah Carey, have already 
shunned fur.
 Please write to Rain and let him know that every time he throws down his 
credit card to purchase fur, he is not only directly responsible for the deaths 
of dozens of animals but also sending a message that animals' lives are less 
important than fashion. Please ask Rain to do the decent and compassionate 
thing and stop wearing fur. 
 Personalized letters always work best. Feel free to use the following text, 
but your message will carry more weight if you write your own customized

  I am writing to express my concern over sightings of you in fur. More and 
more people are realizing the inherent cruelty of the fur industry, and I hope 
that you will too. A recent investigation of fur farms in China exposed 
horrific cruelty. The investigators videotaped workers who were swinging 
raccoon dogs and foxes by their hind legs and slamming their heads to the 
ground - breaking the animals' necks or backs but leaving them panting, 
blinking, and conscious as they are skinned alive. Many animals raised for fur 
are killed by anal or vaginal electrocution, gassing, or suffocation. Please 
stop promoting the suffering and deaths of animals and stop wearing fur 
immediately. As a role model for many people, you have the duty to set an 
example of compassion and kindness. Respectfully yours,

  Dear kerri,
 Join PETA in a demonstration we are holding outside Selfridges in London 
this Sunday 10th February.
 Come along to hold signs, distribute leaflets or wear duck masks to help save 
thousands of ducks and geese from the torture of foie gras production. The 
more, the merrier – so please tell your friends, family members and co-workers 
about it so the maximum pressure is put on Selfridges to stop selling foie gras.

   Show the "luxury" department store that shoppers refuse to spend money there 
until they display some compassion and stop selling foie gras. We need to 
remind Selfridges that there’s nothing luxurious about the diseased liver of 
ducks and geese who are force-fed on a daily basis. For foie gras, tubes are 
crammed down birds’ throats, and up to 4 pounds of grain and fat are pumped 
into their stomachs – until their livers become painfully diseased and enlarged 
and, in some cases, their organs rupture.
  









 

An enlarged goose liver (left) compared to a healthy goose liver (right) 
   Selfridges is one of only a few retailers that continue to sell foie gras. 
Selfridges’ executives have been told numerous times about the cruel industry, 
but it appears t
