Hurricane Patricia, Global Warming, Animal Agriculture and Man-made Climate Change

A letter (e-mail) to my co-workers:

All this talk about hurricane Patricia being the strongest recorded in history adds to the concern of  animal welfare, human welfare, and the future of our planet…

“Scientists have linked the global ocean temperature departures from average to manmade global warming, in addition to El Niño.”

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/10/23/hurricane-patricia-strongest-ever-measured/74446334/

On manmade global warming and climate change: The meat industry (chickens, pigs, cows, dairy, eggs) is number 1 cause of global warming, 51% of greenhouse emissions are coming from animal agriculture. http://www.cowspiracy.com/facts/

“Livestock and their byproducts account for at least 32,000 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year, or 51% of all worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.”

This is more than all transportation: planes, trains, cars, COMBINED.

Animal Feed Science and Technology “comment to editor” Goodland, Anhang.

The Independent, article Nov. 2009.

Every minute, 7 million pounds of excrement are produced by animals raised for food in the US.

This doesn’t include the animals raised outside of USDA jurisdiction or in backyards, or the billions of fish raised in aquaculture settings in the US.

All that excrement is polluting our rivers and creating ocean dead zones. There is a huge problem in North Carolina with hogs and manure.

United States Environmental Protection Agency

It is not just about the ‘meat’ or animals we eat, but the water needed to grow the grains they eat, the antibiotics we feed them (70% of all the antibiotics sold in the US are administer to farmed animals) and all the waste the produce that has ‘nowhere’ to go, the energy needed to run slaughterhouses, transportation, freezing of the corpses, etc. etc. etc. Beans and broccoli come from farm to fridge to table, and don’t poop, plant-based protein is more readily and easily digested by our bodies too.

I have read some of Chris Hedges work, I didn’t know he is a vegan:

"I'm a vegan, and I'm a vegan because the animal agriculture industry maybe surpasses the fossil fuel industry in terms of destroying the planet, and you can wake up tomorrow and be a vegan." (don’t have to join Greenpeace and leave your job to fight the fracking industry or Exxon) On California: "And you're enduring this drought. It takes 1,000 gallons of water to make one gallon of milk [source: Water Footprint Network]. And milk's not even good for you. It's made for cows, it's not made for humans. It's made for baby cows. Who we kill."
– Harvard-educated journalist, best-selling author, professor, Amnesty International Global Award for Human Rights Journalism recipient, and member of the team of reporters at The New York Times awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 2002 for the paper’s coverage of global terrorism Chris Hedges of Truthdig

KFC's Pink Bucket Sad Joke

#KFC #KentuckyFriedChicken #BreastCancer
Kentucky Fried Chicken's Pink Bucket to 'help'
cancer research is the biggest sad joke on women

KFC killing women but using pink buckets

Chicken, even skinless and boiled is the top 5
Cancer causing food... so yes, KFC better give
a lot of money to the cancer patients, since they are
make them sick on the 1st place!
Here the rest of big offenders:

Foods with most saturated fat

Watch NutritionFacts.Org video:



Chickens are also the most abused animals in factory farms!
and the most misleading "health" food out there.
Read why Chickens are NOT health food 
As see how these poor intelligent charming creatures are treated


If you really want to prevent breast cancer, any type of cancer,
diabetes and heart disease
eat a whole plant-based diet
a healthy non-processed vegan diet.

List of the Lost didn't get lost and it's finally here!

Finally #ListOfTheLost from #Morrissey's heart mind soul

This year, Americans will consume some thirty-five million cows, a hundred and fifteen million pigs, and nine billion birds.

I, Chicken and Vegan Outreach at Balboa Park

Today was a great day! #VeganOutreach #IChicken #PETA #BalboaPark
I got to work with my dear friend Ellen for the animals
we leafleted hundreds of materials
Vegan Outreach Compassionate Choices,
Vegan Starter Kits from PETA
Truth or Drought leaflets (which I proudly designed)
SeaWorld information (anti-captivity anti-SeaWorld)
and FARM's You Have Been Lied To (please read these leaflets the have the most complete information on all the natural resources used for every animal we eat, it is very eye-opening to see this!)
People were kind and receptive today!

Me and Ellen at Balboa Park, our favorite place for vegan outreach

At the park were also our friends from PETA
with the exhibit "I, Chicken"
a fantastic virtual reality experience and lets you
see how chickens are taken from an open field
into a cage, and eventually a conveyor where
they will be killed.
The video is cartoon-like and is not gory at all,
there is no blood or violent images, so it's apt for children.
PETA did a great job, read more about it.

The I, Chicken team traveled from Los Angeles to educate about chickens and animal suffering

My dear friend Izabela, vegan, activists and music fan, we saw Morrissey together! #MozArmy

Christopher Locke, author of Persimmon Takes on Humanity

Brian, Mexican American super cool vegan activist and girl watching I, Chicken

People were really interested on the experience and understood how chickens felt in cages and conveyor belts

my mom's hometown.
Can't to go back and photograph.
Not the TVs but the Mexican land...

Almonds Are Not The Problem, Eating Animals Is

This is the latest graphic I designed with Lorelei's research
for our grassroots campaign Truth or Drought
where we make the connection between animal agriculture
and the California (and world-wide) droughts
The meat and dairy industry have created a campaign
to vilify almonds, calling them the #1 water consumers...
but of course almonds are NOT the problem
Animal Agriculture is... there are several articles online
where you can check these numbers.
And our sources are clear...

And from an ethical point of view, remember
almonds don't suffer when separated from their mothers
so humans can drink their milk (my homemade almond milk)
nor they suffer for years while living in horrible factory farms
nor scream in agony & pain when being slaughtered

So eat almonds, they are good for you,
drink almond milk, almond ice-cream,
have an Amaretto, but please
Do Not Eat Animals or their secretions
that is what is destroying the planet,
and killing billions of innocent beings.

There are some things money can't buy (like water when it's gone).

For everything else, there's veganism.

Bernie and Hillary

#FeelTheBern
I am NOT into politics,
because I think most politicians are crooks
& that the political system is controlled by a few rich people
but then Bernie Sanders appeared,
and suddenly, there is hope...

I watched the Democratic debate last night
against my better judgement,
but then again I am a registered Democrat
and I am ready for Hillary Clinton to be our next president
or even better... Bernie Sanders, I am really liking this man!
Bernie Sanders on him not being a billionaire and not
part of the Casino Capitalism, please watch this!

My favorite parts of this debate (thank you YouTube)
Hillary on paid-leave, women's rights, & Planned Parenthood
(thank you for mentioning Planned Parenthood Hillary!)
A must watch!
And the political Gato, Herr Gato, makes a comeback,
he meows: is OK to vote this time, but only for Bernie or Hillary
