urge all artists who have a personal website to also include a link or more to
an animal or environmental site. Too much pain and suffering is out there to just
do nothing. Shane Garton

Animal Net is the world's largest network of animal protection societies with
consultative status at the UN. Working to improve the status and welfare of animals
with over 2,500 affiliates in more than 100 countries.
Factory
Farming Animals treated as machines, their
usefulness based solely on their profitability. To make them profitable, they
are subjected to horribly crowded conditions and, for many species, mutilations
of their bodies. Pigs and cattle are castrated, chickens have their beaks cut
with a hot blade, and turkeys have their toes cut off. All these surgical procedures,
which are highly painful, are performed without anesthesia. Doing the same things
to cats and dogs is illegal, but not for animals raised for food production!

are treated." - Gandhi
There
are an estimated 600 000 to 1000 000 stray dogs in the streets of Bali, Indonesia.
Over 90% of these dogs suffer from either skin parasites and fungus, internal
parasites, parvo virus, distemper, malnutrition, maggot infestation, infected
wounds or a combination of these painful and debilitating ailments. These dogs
are left to fend for themselves without veterinary care or a constant food source.

"Mulesing"-
is where they force live sheep onto their backs, restrain their legs between metal
bars, and, without any painkillers whatsoever, slice dinner-plate-sized chunks
of flesh from around their tail area..... read more

Angie's
Story
A
hen walks through the manure at Wegmans Egg Farm In the sheds we entered at Wegman's
Egg Farm, there were long manure pits below the rows of battery cages. Hens who
manage to escape from the crowded battery cages often fall through into the pits
below. Once there, they have no way to access food or water. Of the hens we found
there, some had surrendered to a dark end, sinking into the murk and giving up.
In such a terrible place, this reaction is hardly a surprise. Some of the hens,
though, showed us that they had resolved to survive. Angie was one of those
hens... Click here to read this sad but happy ending.
What
if some huge, physically overpowering people held you captive and did painful
things to you each day? What if they made fun of you when you screamed out of
fear, cursed you for no reason, and threw you—literally threw you—back into a
cage when they were finished roughing you up? Wouldn't you freeze in terror every
time the door opened? Heart racing, you might wish to be invisible to your captors,
but you never would be. The anxiety alone would be almost unbearable. It sounds
like a nightmare, doesn't it? It is, and it's what monkeys endure in this and
other laboratories every day.

A
primate experiment was documented undercover in the Jerusalem Hebrew University.
In the rare footage, researchers inserted electrodes in to the monkey's brain.
One of the researchers was heard saying, "We did all kinds of nonsense, simply
so we can do something." Read the full article... Click

Fact:
Animals do not naturally ride bicycles, stand on their heads, balance on balls,
or jump through rings of fire. To force them to perform these confusing and physically
uncomfortable tricks, trainers use whips, tight collars, muzzles, electric prods,
bullhooks, and other painful tools of the trade.
"The
idea that it is funny to see wild animals coerced into acting like clumsy humans,
or thrilling to see powerful beasts reduced to cringing cowards by a whipcracking
trainer is primitive and medieval. It stems from the old idea that we are superior
to other species and have the right to hold dominion over them." — Dr.
Desmond Morris, anthropologist, animal behaviorist, author.
Did
you know that:
Animal experimentation is a lucrative multi-million dollar industry.
Because of species differences it is impossible to apply
the results of animal experiments to human beings with any accuracy.
20 animals a second are dying in laboratories worldwide.
Despite the vast expenditure on medical research using animals,
and on health care, people in today's societies are not healthy.
There is no evidence that increases in the number of animal
experiments have lead to a corresponding improvement in human health.
Nowhere in the world do laws give adequate protection to
laboratory animals.
70% of animal experiments are for non-medical purposes:
testing of cosmetics, fire extinguishers, pesticides, detergents, household products
and weapons.
80% of the experiments are performed without any anaesthetics.

2007 Seal Hunt: From
Brutality to Boycott Following this year’s Canadian seal hunt, the official kill
count stood at 317,672 seals, a number that solidifies the hunt's reputation as
the largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet.
Never
make assumptions about tomorrow, on the evidence of today.
