I am going to create an informational flyer to pass out to people I meet about the cruetly of factory farming and advice to go vegan or vegetarian.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I have been a little lazy with advocating for our animals because of ending the school year and doing summer school. Soon I will be out of school and will have time.  I need to stay focused and speak up for the animals since they can not do it for themselves.  Will post the flyer that I will use to witness to people about what is happening.  So many people really have no idea of what is happening to the animals in factory farms.  It is horrible for them and the meat coming from them is so unhealthy to consume.  We have to do what we can even if they don't respond favorably.  It is just like witnessing about Jesus and God, some will listen, some will slam the door in your face or worse.  Just give the message that is all you can do.  Educate! Educate! Educate!

Pink Slime

Oh, have you heard about the lovely filler they have been putting in the meat since the 90's? Check it out because it is all over the Internet.  McCruelty said they are not using it anymore, but they only stopped because they were exposed!!  How sad that these companies won't do the right things until forced to do so.

There is just no end to horrors that is happening in the food/meat industry.  We have to just keep exposing and stop buying.

PETA Article: Are we really that Special

http://www.peta.org/living/Animal-Friendly-Fun/are-we-really-that-special.aspx.

Very interesting article and something to ponder.

Factory Farm Facts

I found this website that has some startling facts about factory farms state by state.  Check this site out.
http://www.factoryfarmmap.org/facts/

Also, at our school we have been attending Healthy Lifestyles and learning how to eat healthy.  Here is a website to get grass fed beef and valuable information. http://www.steakburger.com/index.php.

I am looking to find chicken and pigs that are not raised in factory farms.  If anyone knows such a place, please let me now.

2 Week Vegan Diet

For those that need some help getting on the Vegan Train.  Here you go, yet another helpful bit of information from PETA

No I am not advertising for PETA and do not work there, but they just have so much good stuff that I can't stop sharing. 

Iams Cruelty

Wow!!  I just found out what Iams does to animals.  I'm certainly glad I have never bought their dog food.  My dogs love Purina One and the first ingredient is not corn. This is one of PETA's campaigns.  See, you just find out so much from PETA.  I would love to work there!!  They also have openings listed on the website at Peta.org.  See for yourself:  http://www.iamscruelty.com/

More Thoughts

Well I have been away for awhile, but I have been reading a new book called Eternal Treblinka which is giving me some very good information that I had never known or thought about. Here is the link that will give you an image of the book and information. http://powerfulbook.com/ I highly recommend it to give you some history on the slaughter of animals all over the world. It compares the treatment of people in the Holocaust to the slaughter of animals.

It just amazes me of the number of fast food restaurants in this world especially the bigger cities. Check out this site. http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com/g-getactive.asp Sign the petition.

Sign up to get emails from PETA at Peta.com. Here is one of the emails I received. http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2012/02/14/Victory-Cruel-Horse_2D00_Diving-Shows-Canceled.aspx. Some days I cannot handle looking at all the emails because they are disturbing to me, but necessary to keep my going in my advocacy to protect animals and educate.

I also get great recipes from PETA. Here is one that I am going to try. Go to this link. Here is a recipe to enjoy.

The purpose of the blog is to discuss the horrible treatment of animals that are being factory farmed today. Also, I would like to discuss the effects of fast food on people, the environment, and animals, etc. I would love to have a intellectual discussion that can lead to positive changes in the meat industry and fast food industry. I want to find activists with the same interests and values, and bring them together with this blog. I am reading a book now called Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows. I am sorry, I do not have the book in hand while typing this, so I can not provide the author. This book has some wonderful information that you must read. Be ready to be very stressed out after you read. It talks about what is going on now and has been for some time: The Animal Holocaust. Please check it out, and I will be back for more thoughts and hopefully discussions.
