This
is a video of one of a homeless man in Santa Barbara and his pets.
They work State Street every week for donations. The animals are
pretty well fed and are mellow. They are a family. The man who owns
them rigged a harness up for his cat so she wouldn't have to walk so
much (like the dog and himself). At some juncture the rat came along,
and as no one wanted to eat anyone else, the rat started riding with
the cat and, often, on the cat! The dog, will stand all day and let
you talk to him and admire him for a few chin scratches. The Mayor of
Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a holiday card.

Alicia Silverstone Says 'Cut Out Dissection!'
Alicia Silverstone and PETA remind kids of their right to refuse to dissect animals
in school. The animal may possibly already be dead, but your dissection
of it will require the killing of another animal to replace it for the
next class.
More and more students from elementary school to veterinary and medical school...—are
taking a stand against dissection before it happens in their classes.
Cut it out! For free stickers and info on helping animals, check out

After 35 years
in this business and seeing some of the cruelest things ever witnessed by mankind you finally stop crying and use that pain for the passion it takes to fight against cruelty, but this blog made me cry and I'm beyond words!! I thought the viveo I have posted on my page was the cruelest thing
imaginable. Its a cake-walk beside this one. As hard as it to witness such cruelty, you can save it for those times that you need the strength and passion to make a difference, like I've done. PLEASE watch the second video "Paws4 life" after the "Testing. One, Two, Three" and watch it "to the end". Use it for strength & passion!! Ron .
Animal experimentation is a multibillion-dollar industry fueled by massive public funding. The industry profits because animals, who cannot defend themselves against abuse, are legally imprisoned and exploited.
This
is Anita's blog on animal abuse and how cruel humans can be to animals.
There is a poem that is touching from the viewpoint of a beaten dog,
but this is a very graphic site. Take a look if you have the
heart....jennieb
Note from Kate: Warning graphic pictures!

see Anita's new Blog - you can leave comments as well. At the end of
each blog entry, there is link to leave your comment.

Advocating

their families.
Americans, Europeans, and
Japanese For Medical Advancement promotes human wellness by exposing the lost
opportunities for cures and the life-threatening results of animal-modeled
biomedical research. We educate the public, showing how government and charities
misspend medical research dollars and place us at grave risk.
Animal-modeled biomedical
research yields results that cannot be safely applied to humans. It diverts
research dollars that should be going to proven methods of curing human disease.
We disclose how industry
introduces and keeps unhealthy and often deadly products in the marketplace
through animal experiments.
As taxpayers, we deserve the
best
research our money can
buy.

How
can we ever stop the inhumane treatment of dogs and cats in puppy mills
unless we educate everyone we know about puppy mills and backyard
breeders???
One way would be to send this link. It has to start somewhere.
There is no blood or guts in this video..just the faces of images of what their lives are like day in and day out.......
Includes pictures taken with a hidden video/camera. Also includes rarely seen footage of an actual puppy mill auction.
Please note, the video may get "stuck" for a few seconds at one point, but will continue.
A New COK Investigation Uncovers Cruelty at a North Carolina Turkey Hatchery that Supplies Butterball.
An undercover video filmed by a COK investigator while employed at a North Carolina turkey hatchery reveals shockingly abusive conditions for newly-hatched chicks. The investigator worked at the hatchery for nearly three weeks during June and July 2006, when it was hatching turkeys to be raised for this year’s Thanksgiving dinner tables. The video includes scenes of live chicks being:
suffocated in plastic bags,
tossed around like inanimate objects,
mangled on machinery, and
routinely dumped in the same disposal bin as cracked egg shells.
Whats wrong with Rodeos - View 4 Videos of Australian Rodeos
From Animal Liberation Victoria Newsletter (ALV)
Rodeo Cruelty
Jeanie and Troy Walker in South Australia are doing a very important job video taping cruelty at Rodeos. They have just released copies of their footage at the following links:
The fur industry is completely unregulated in the U.S. They have no boundaries on what they can do. See for yourself what the common practices are. This is cruelty we can do something about! This is an excellent presentation, done with pure Martha style!
I was absolutely appalled this evening because a friend of a family member gave my daughter a mink headband to wear in her hair. I had an absolute fit!
I did not get to speak with this person directly...but she will be getting a copy of this video from me with a note about the inapproapriateness of giving murdered corpses to somebody's child.
The really sad thing is that this woman is the editor of a high-end New York fashion magazine.
Please watch this video. You will be utterly shocked at what you see.
People need to realize...the fur industry is not regulated like other animal agricultural industries are, and there are even problems with those...but this trade has no restrictions at all. The animals can be killed in horrible, horrible ways.
People think it's just in other countries...it's not! It's right here in the good ol' US of A.
Thank you for taking the time.
Vibraceous
P.S. My daughter and I are having a funeral service for the mink tomorrow, and we're going to bury the headband out in the yard and say some words that will show some respect. That's the kind of thing I do with my kids. I want them to understand the value of life.
A creature was tortured and died so someone could wear a stupid little fur piece in their hair as decoration....How completely ignorant and barbaric is that?! Well it won't be my little girl. My children were tuaght better than that. We're going to lay that poor little creature to rest. The whole thing just upset me so much.
About this video This is the shocking but extremely informative video documentary Vaccination - The Hidden Truth (1998) where fifteen people, including Dr. Viera Scheibner (a PhD researcher), five medical doctors, other researchers, reveal what is really going on in relation to illness and vaccines.
Ironically, the important facts come from the orthodox medicine's own peer-reviewed research. With so much government and medical promotion of vaccination for prevention of disease, the other side of the issue that parents and others are not being told. The result is a damning account of the ineffectiveness of vaccines and their often harmful effects.
It declares that parents are not being told the truth by the media, the Health Department and the medical establishment, with a medical doctor, Dr. Mark Donohoe, confessing that "It is a problem for me that I am part of a profession that is systematically lying to people."
Find out how vaccines are proven to have harmful effects to your health and why do we still have to be vaccinated although there is no real need for it.
Although many people simply refuse to believe this, the impeccable documentation presented in this amazing video has changed the minds of many who saw it.
PLEASE BE WARNED THAT THE MOVIE AND IMAGES ONCE YOU

Breed-specific legislation (BSL) is spreading like a cancer from one community to the next. Denver, Miami and the Canadian province of Ontario are forcing residents to hand over their beloved and innocent family members for unjustified euthanasia, else they must move from their homes...or stay to become criminals to protect the ones they love. Okla Breed-specific legislation (BSL) is spreading like a cancer from one community to the next. Denver, Miami and the Canadian province of Ontario are forcing residents to hand over their beloved and innocent family members for unjustified euthanasia, else they must move from their homes...or stay to become criminals to protect the ones they love. Oklahoma, California, and other locales are currently considering similar breed specific bans and/or discrimination. In response, guardians of Pit Bulls, American Staffordshire Terriers, Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Chows, and more, have posted their feelings to the website, www.sorryagain.com, in protest of the slaughter of innocent dogs and the unconstitutional laws destroying their families. Here is just a sample of their posts...

You won't find Pamela Anderson's new release at your local multiplex--the former Baywatch star and longtime animal advocate's latest project is "Kentucky Fried Cruelty," an undercover exposé blowing the whistle on the cruel treatment of animals at KFC's factory farm and slaughterhouse suppliers. The video details just how horribly KFC treats chickens—birds are so crippled that they can't even walk, live birds are forced into tanks of scalding-hot water while completely conscious and able to feel pain, and Moorefield, W.Va., slaughterhouse workers kill birds by slamming them against the wall and stomping on them.
When asked, The President of AAFCO said: "If the ingredient say's meat or bone meal, you don't know if it is cattle, or sheep, or horse, . . . or fluffy." then went on to say: ". . . nutritionally, it is still protein."To view the King 5 Television interview with the AAFCO President (Herschel Pendell)CLICK HERE
As you read this, hundreds of mice, rats, cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, monkeys, and other animals are dying in cruel and unnecessary medical and product-testing experiments. In fact, 219 animals are killed every minute in a U.S. lab. They die in pain, alone, without a gentle touch or a soothing voice. Animal studies teach us nothing about the health of humans because animals of different species absorb, metabolize, and eliminate substances differently than humans do. The truth is that testing on animals is bad science: It is unreliable and unnecessary.
You can keep the pressure on those responsible for these cruel tests by signing the pledge and joining the thousands of caring consumers who refuse to purchase products from corporations that abuse animals.
Also, don’t forget to forward this pledge to your friends and family and ask them to join you in signing.
