Canadian Seal Hunt

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 15:58:19 GMT

I feel like it's necessary to post this because most people aren't even aware it's happening. (It's not in the news much, either).

Canadian Seal Hunt is under way and this year 275,000 seals will be slaughtered simply for their fur. The hunt is barbaric and, yes, seals are still killed through clubbing and being skewered with hooks. They are still pups no matter what misinformation you may hear: pups have the fur. It is NOT sustainable and even less so due to melting ice floes. Don't believe the lies. Watch the video:

It's time for this massacre to END. Boycott Canadian Seafood. Click the link below for more can you can do!

Dog Slaughter in the Philippines

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 17:41:57 GMT

Wayne Pacelle just posted a blog entry about dog meat in the Philippines. It included graphic, disturbing footage of dogs in transit to be slaughtered and footage of dog meat sold in the market. It was horrific. I use you to watch the video to inform yourself.

If that doesn't work try Wayne's blog here.

And write to the President of the Philippines to end this practice--> here.

I'm so sick of feeling like I can't do anything. I just wrote today an op-ed piece which I hope my school newspaper will publish on World Vegetarian Day, October 1st. It gives three reasons why animals should be given equal consideration. I included three points: the widespread abuse of animals, how in ignoring the suffering of animals we do not do our part in forming a peaceful society, and how the ideology about the value of animals needs to be changed. If you would like the article please tell me. It may go through some revisions but I'm pretty pleased with what I wrote. I hope I inspire people to form a group on campus with me. More and more I feel like I'm on the cusp of a revolution and I need to do my part to raise awareness for all creatures who suffer.

Darfur Women Describe Gang-Rape Horror

It's just so horrid and unfathomable. Now I'm inspired to check Amnesty's homepage again...
