. . . And All the Devils Are Here: WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR? ›
When activists speak out against animal suffering, they are generally referring to the exploitation of animals in the production of food, clothing, entertainment, consumer products, pharmaceuticals, and pets, such as:
- Chickens in factory farms who are bred to grow so quickly…
Fear and suffering are not exclusive to humans.
I need recommendations for a Holistic Health Book or Webpage..
one that would contain things to help with depression, anxiety, the flu, etc. i’m trying to reduce the medications I would have to take on a regular basis. every time i down a zoloft i feel like shit.

Took Maverick to the Vet yesterday. Everything went fine, I was actually happy with how he behaved. It was a wonderful trip until we went to leave.
The three-legged cat that belongs to the vets office had a half dead chipmunk in its mouth. At first, I thought it was dead.. but when the cat dropped it, it ran under a cabinet, it had obvious markings from being in the cat’s mouth. Instead of the vet techs trying to help the poor thing, you know, because its a fucking ANIMAL HOSPITAL.. note the word ANIMAL, they sit there and act all grossed out that the cat brought in another nuisance. The chipmunk was dying five feet from them and they chose to do nothing about it.
Needless to say, I tried to help get it out but it the dog wasn’t helping and the chipmunk wanted nothing to do with me. I feel horrible.
I really want to email a nasty letter to the Vet, but I don’t want to be taken like I’m a crazy person; nor do I want my dog’s care being affected as a result of said nasty email.

The hunters become the hunted: Indian state sanctions shooting animal poachers
A western Indian state has declared war on animal poaching by sanctioning its forest guards to shoot hunters on sight in an effort to curb rampant attacks against tigers, elephants and other wildlife.
The government in Maharashtra says injuring or killing suspected poachers will no longer be considered a crime.
According to the Wildlife Protection Society of India, 14 tigers have been killed by poachers in India so far this year — one more than for all of 2011. The tiger is considered endangered, with its habitat range shrinking more than 50 per cent in the last quarter-century and its numbers declining rapidly from the 5,000-7,000 estimated in the 1990s, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Maxine’s Dash for Freedom
This is a short, heart-warming clip about one brave little cow who ran for her life as she was about to be sent to slaughter. I was reminded of it while reading a post by vegansofig.It’s when we make the connection between the steak on our plate and the loving, innocent individual it came from that we can open ourselves up to a new level of compassion. There’s nothing wrong with loving the heck out of people and animals alike, and showing them what kindness and respect feels like. Stories like this put a smile on my face every time. Watch, smile yourself, and eat consciously, live kindly. ;)

You watch the people feed tons and tons of grain to the animals, then they kill the animals and eat the animals. Why don’t they just eat the grain and let the animals live? It don’t make sense. Why are they eating the animals? They eat flesh and blood, then they go to church and talk about ‘thou shalt not kill.’ And they kill every day with every breath they take.
