  • Egypt Kills Thousands of Pigs for No Reason
    The pig you see here being dangled by the leg is still just a baby, and by now he is already dead and thrown away for absolutely no reason, as are the rest of the 300,000 pigs in Egypt.  How typical that we humans blame this epidemic on pigs, and kill them without a second thought!  Source: NY Times online.

  • Let’s Catch Up!
    Alec Baldwin wrote a great piece for the Huffington Post about the vilification of Michael Vick, and how in a lot of ways it’s hypocritical of a lot of people – specifically, if you are a meat eater, a leather-wearer, and an animal user.  Are dogs any more special than pigs, cows, turkeys?  It is devastating.
