Calling Out All Animal Users



The excuses and justifications for exploiting animals for human luxury are beginning to wane thin. Even the so called humane animal movement is now being exposed as recent sites such as www.humanemyth.org arise. Films like Earthlings are beginning to make their impact as they make their way around the country. Based on raw information and the ugly truth, people can and are beginning to make more informed food, clothing, and entertainment choices. There is little more fulfilling in life than knowing that you are not a part of the problem but the solution. Be courageous, if you eat and buy animal products, open your heart and watch this film in its entirety. It will be hard, but do it for the 50 billion animals that needlessly suffer from human dominance, do it for the environment, do it for your own health. For anyone interested, I would be thrilled to send you a paper I recently put together called "A Case for Veganism: Healthy Humans, Happy Animals and a Sustainable Planet." Change begins today, even if it must be baby steps.

Giving A Voice To Those Who Have None

When are we going to come to our senses? How modern and civilized are we really? Why do we continue to torment and mutilate animals? Why do we act as if they are ours to use and abuse at will? How can we ignore their desires, feelings, and longings? Like us all, they want freedom, and a long happy life. I'm sickened and becoming frustrated with scandal after scandal, expose after expose of horrific images of animal abuse. Can we please stop taking advantage of creatures that can't protect themselves? Is it necessary? Do we really need their flesh to satisfy our taste buds, their skin for our aesthetic appeal? Might there be another way? Have we not the technology, ability, knowledge, and desire to live fulfilling, meaningful, productive lives without exploiting other sentient creatures? It's time to stop the uncritical approach to life that allows corporations to sell us their misuse of animals. We all make choices everyday that either says yes or no to this sad syndrome of senseless slaughter. Let's start making a difference today!
