Not everyone is bad...
Humans are capable of such cruelty, it's not about where you live.. each person is different, some are nice, some are not. We are all on the same planet, the lines drawn between countries mean nothing.. it only causes separation. We see the lines now as a way of knowing where someone is on a map.. We are ALL Earthlings. Humans are ignorant. You can't persecute one country and say they are ALL bad...each country has their own devils but luckily also their own angels. Angels for animals let's unite and fight this cruelty against our beloved animals!!! Together we can do it!

Think that chicken is better for you then compared to red meat? Think again... 'Lean' protein is nothing more than a gimmick...
Think that chicken is better for you then compared to red meat? Think again... 'Lean' protein is nothing more than a gimmick...
Many people consider chicken as a health food:
you know, 'gotta get your lean protein.' Considering that slaughterhouses are killing more birds in one day (25-30 million) then they did in an entire year during the 1930's, everyone has been duped. Aside from getting fed their own fecies and rendered animal, chickens now grow over twice as fast thanks to genetics and growth stimulants (3lbs bird in six weeks compared to four months). So fast in fact that these animals can not handle the weight of their own internal organs and are rendered breathless after a few steps. So fast that large slaughterhouses must despose of an average of 500 lbs worth of dead chickens due to what is called "flip over" disease- the chickens die from a heart attack as early as one month old. Chickens life expectancy is around 10 years.
Beside the numerous amount of documentation on cockroach, fly and maggot infestation found in these plants, contamination is also a problem in the poultry industry. According to a USDA microbiologist, there are as many as 50 different opportunities for cross-contamination to occur. The largest offending point of cross-contamination is the chilling pool. Dubbed as 'fecal soup,' this large vat is where the recently "cleaned" birds are left to soak in a pool of chilled water that is brimming with all sorts of excrements. An interesting side note is that these corpses absorb an average of 8% of their weight of this filth. That's right, poultry eaters around America spend more than $1 billion dollars on this bacteria soup that is sold as poultry weight every year.
What about inspection? The larger slaughterhouses can see as many as 500,000 corpses leave every day. Each inspector has roughly two seconds to inspect each body for over 12 different diseases as well as other abnormalities (by the way, as a result of popular demand in the poultry industry, feces, sores, scabs lesions and broken bones are considered "trimmable conditions" and are no longer condemnable). Federal regulations allow for the sampling of 10 corpses out of ever 15,000. That is less than .1%.
So what sort of contamination are we talking about? For starters, a reporter who interviewed 84 USDA inspectors wrote that "millions of chickens leaking yellow pus, stained by green feces, contaminated by harmful bacteria, or marred by lung and heart infections, cancerous tumors, or skin conditions are shipped for sale to consumers." As for bacteria, an Agricultural Department study showed that over 99% of broiler chickens have tracable amounts of E. Coli bacteria, 30% of chicken consumed is infested with salmonella and 70-90% are contaminated with a pathogen called campylobacter. Look it up, campylobacter is no joke. Contaminated chicken kills as little as 1,000 and sickens as many as an estimated 80 million Americans each year.
This does not include the horrific living conditions, killing practices and environmental damage that is a result of eating chicken.

HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY!
HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY!!!!
Wouldn't it be awesome if EVERYONE was vegan? No animal suffering anymore. No fights between who's right and who's wrong between those who still eat meat and those who gave up all animal products! Veganism IS the answer to the least possible way of animal cruelty. Let's help others 'wake up' today to the idea of letting go of all animal products. When you think of it it is a rather small 'sacrifice' (to some no sacrifice at all, like us. It was a pleasure to free ourselves from all animal products because it meant you were now really helping ALL animals). Still, some find it a 'sacrifice' to get rid of meat, to get rid of their cheese, to get rid of their beloved leather Louis Vuitton purse or the killer leather pumps from designers. Guess what? those killer shoes killed a cow and had to sacrifice their LIFE. LIFE is more important than your little sacrifice, don't you agree? We're not going into graphics today but we're sure most of you know that man kind isn't very sweet to those animals used for products--and that's the problem. PRODUCTS. That's what the money makers, the designers, the meat-industry ONLY see in all those precious animals. It is our duty to help others who haven't made the first step towards at least reducing those live 'products'. It may mean not much difference to the consumer but it means a everything to that animal--it means LIFE!
