| what:
Cows should live a full 20 years, but dairy cows usually live up
4. At which time they are killed for meat. They are
injected with drugs to increase the rate they produce milk, and are
forced to live in small cramped spaces.
how to help: -Buy organic milk. This milk comes from cows that roam around on fields and aren't given any kind of drugs.
-Go vegan. This is asking a lot, and I don't expect you to do
it. But if you are up for it, go ahead. Go to goveg.com for
information on how!

Starbucks sponsors animal abuse, injury, and death. Yes, it is a

what: Every year millions of
animals are routinely poisoned, cut open, and forced to live in barren
steel cages for years, although studies show that because of variations
between species, human reactions to illnesses and drugs completely
different from those of other animals. Today's non-animal research
methods are humane, more accurate, less expensive, and less
time-consuming than animal experiments, yet change comes slowly and
many researchers are unwilling to switch to superior technological
advances. Animal experimentation not only is preventing us from
learning more relevant information, it continues to harm and kill
animals and people every year.
how to help: Don't buy iams for you pets... for two reasons. 1, some of the iams
food is poisoned and it can kill your pets. (my cousins dog got sick
from it, 8 dogs have died from it in one week) 2, they put animals
through horrible testing. Post the following picture on your page:
what: animal testing on dogs
how to help: repost the folowing on all of your xangas/myspaces/livejournals.. etc...
This
is wrong to the highest level. Please help spread awareness of all the
animals that go through testing. It is not right and should be
stopped. For more info, visit the PETA website at
www.peta.com. The following images are of animals that have been
used for consumer product testing.
If you have a heart you'll repost this
what: Skinning animals for clothing.
Innocent animals, including sometimes cats and dogs, are skinned alive every day for clothing, when people could just as easily wear fake fur.
how to help: -Do not buy anything from any store that sells real fur.
-Spread the news to all your friends and family telling them to do the same. |
