Happy Fur-Free Friday!

I can't believe people actually wear fur and arent ashamed to! Everyday there are people screaming to stop killing wearing and eating animals and they still have the nerve to do it! i swear it is a CRIME to be doing what we are doing today in modern america. What has america turned into? we were once a civilized nation killing animals only for food and now were are killing them for pure pleasure and fahsion! and quite brutally might i add. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US?!?!?!?

sick as. I borrowed my parents laundry marker and now im making my own protest tees. One reads 'who says im dinner?' with a cow down the bottom so sick I'm doing a fur sux one next...............

I am a selfish meateater... My friend Catherine finds meat disgusting. What is more unappetizing that chewing on decaying flesh? she says. Well I havent really thought of it that way. I actually prefer to ignore where meat actually comes from. I am not eating animal flesh. I am eating nicely cut and packed meat that I buy in Styrofoam containers at the store. I guess it is rotting flesh though is it not? Even as a small girl I would watch my father and uncle hang a deer carcass from its feet tear off its skin and cut its flesh into pieces. As I sat at the dinner table that evening eating stewed venison I never put two and two together. As I grew older I just put it out of my mind so as to be able to enjoy my indulgences without guilt. Actually the thought of eating animal flesh doesnt bother me after all I am from the land of barbed wire and calloused hands. The heads of several different animals hang in the homes of everyone I know. My family hunted not just for sport but to put food on the table. The difference between my family and todays meat industry is that the animals of yesteryear that were killed by my family lived a free life and died usually from one shot straight to the heart. What rests heavy on my heart is that the meat we eat today is derived from an animal that was tortured and mistreated its entire life then carelessly and inhumanely killed. Perhaps this is not always the case but more times than a few it is. Just visit the website www.petatv.com and you can view an entire library of humans abusing the animals that are later on our plates. Shamefully I myself could not view any of these videos. I say shamefully because while I could not stomach the torture I stomach the result everyday. I chose instead to read the accounts of abuse. According to an article I read on www.goveg.com animals that are farmed for human consumption are neglected mutilated genetically manipulated drugged and violently slaughtered. The details of the abuse are immeasurable. In short animals that are massproduced are crammed together in cages and held in windowless barns never to graze in fields or feel the sun on their backs. Poultry are usually caged and stacked upon each other left to live in the feces of the others above them. Their beaks are clipped to keep them from pecking one another to death as they would surely do because they are forced to live in confinement. They are force fed to grow faster and bigger than normal which cripples them as there legs buckle under their weight. Pigs live in similar conditions their tails and testes clipped and their teeth removed. Both of these animals are thrown into scalding water often while still conscious to make removing their feathers and hair easier. Cows are branded with a hot iron castrated have their horns cut off and are overfed to the point that their insides rupture. Then instead of treatment for their conditions they are pumped full of antibiotics long enough to keep them alive through the pain until slaughter. Fish themselves are not exempt from cruelty fish farms while on land or sea are rife with pollution and disease. Fish are crammed together in tanks or nets and deprived of healthy sunlight. Longlines lined with thousands of baited hooks are cast and drug along oceans and lakes by boats. While torturous enough to fish these lines also snag and kill many other animals like turtles and waterdwelling mammals. After large fish like Tuna are caught they are reeled to the surface stabbed with a pickaxe and hauled onto the boat where they are clubbed to death. Wow we humans are remarkable arent we? Would we do this to our beloved dogs or cats? Some countries do in fact. I imagine they probably say to one another Do you know in the united states they do this to cows and pigs? Why do we accept that this treatment is ok? I need to make a change.

What a nice montage of photos! I always enjoy seeing people smiling even when they are protesting something so awful. It helps lure the passerby to spread the knowledge On another note yesterday a lady came into my store and plopped down a mink purse onto my counter. I almost had to touch it to pick up the things she was buying. I must've broken down because she took one look at my face and took her purse off the counter. I couldn't say anything seeing as how I was at work but omg I almost wanted to clock out and follow her outside of the store to give her the link to FurIsDead lol!

In the true I should same of to say that I'm very happy for these things when peoples make the possible for the animals and if became vegatarians of course this is very important because the world needs that peoples is always conect with it. Well first I need to say I so sorry for my english because is not very well same like this I thank this oportunnity of to say what i want thanks full.
