Breaking News:
Pork Industry Turns Pigs Into Shit Eating Cannibals
Complete Story Here
Today, The Humane Society of the United States
released horrifying hidden-camera video footage of pigs being fed
diarrhea and the ground up intestines of their own piglets at a factory
farm in Kentucky - Iron Maiden Hog Farm. Although the practice of
feeding pig guts and shit to other pigs is common on industrial farms
across the country, it is illegal under state law.
The video, which was profiled by The New York Times,
also shows mother pigs crammed into filthy metal cages so small they
can't even turn around or lie down comfortably for nearly their entire
lives. Seemingly without irony, the facility is named after a medieval
torture device by which human victims were confined in a metal box
barely larger than their own bodies.
Watch the graphic undercover video here:
this is your sausages, your bacon, your ham!!

leafleting
part of being a vegan is trying to
create awareness of the animal suffering
and the huge environmental problems
along with health issues that brings
eating animals...
my main concern has always been
the animal suffering, so it's good
to let others know what animals go through
one of the most effective ways is leafleting!
this is what my friend Ellen, an admirable
animal rights activist in San Diego, and I
did this past Sunday, and Saturday at the
Chinese New Year Food and Cultural Fair
it was a great event, people were very receptive
and a couple stopped and asked more about
animals, vegan and vegetarian diets, and took
the leaflets home.
We gave away leaflets from Vegan Outreach
Vegetarian Starter kits from Mercy for Animals
and FARM. Statistics say that for every 100 leaflets
given, about one person goes vegan.
We gave away over 1,000 leaflets!
So we will have at least 10 new vegans!
Who hopefully will leaflet themselves
and will tell their friends & family about the
importance of respecting animals lives
and how inhumane is to eat animals
and the devastation we are creating in our planet
by raising animals for food!
I had a weekend full of hope!

chickens, the most abused animals
Professor John Webster, of the University of Bristol’s School of Veterinary Science, has said:
“Broilers are the only livestock that are in chronic pain for the last 20% of their lives. They don't move around, not because they are overstocked, but because it hurts their joints so much."
They are fed large amounts of antibiotics and drugs to keep them alive in conditions that would otherwise kill them. The antibiotics make chickens grow so large, so fast that they often become crippled under their own weight. This reckless use of antibiotics also makes drugs less effective for treating humans by speeding up the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

Chicken are the most abused farmed animals:
The food your choose every day, every meal
has huge consequences on animals, on the environment
and in your health!

Chicken are the most abused farmed animals:
"I was almost knocked to the ground by the overpowering smell of feces and ammonia. My eyes burned and so did my lungs, and I could neither see nor breathe….There must have been thirty thousand chickens sitting silently on the floor in front of me. They didn’t move, didn’t cluck. They were almost like statues of chickens, living in nearly total darkness, and they would spend every minute of their six-week lives that way."You can stop this cruelty!
—Michael Specter, New Yorker,

California's worst drought in history
Want to conserve water?
Change the way you eat!
Countries have been fighting over oil
for the past decades... soon,
we will be fighting over water!
"Of the foods produced in the Golden State, the thirstiest by far are those that are derived from animals. Household impact is a trickle compared to the flood of water needed to produce meat, dairy, and eggs, especially when compared to plant foods. For example, a study at Cornell University found that producing one pound of animal protein requires about 100 times more water than producing one pound of grain protein. Another study adds to the overflow of evidence finding that the amount of water needed to produce one pound of beef is almost 1,600 gallons, compared to just 102 gallons for a pound of wheat."

Future of Food
Nobel Prize Winner Predicts Rise of Veganism in 2014
"We predicted the rise of health-motivated veganism and vegan haute cuisine in 2014, but Nobel Prize winning economist (and a professor at Stanford and Harvard) Alvin Roth predicts that veganism will become the dominant paradigm in the near future–or in his own words, that “meat eating might become repugnant” to the general population. In the latest issue of TIME magazine, columnist Joel Stein revealed some of Roth’s prediction for 2014."
