Wikileaks: leak the truth about animal torture!

So, what about these Wikileaks? I want shit leaked about the animal abuse that happens at the hands of governments; NASA, for instance, uses monkeys in different types of experiments. I want the truth to come out about what happens in slaughterhouses, and commercial farms. I want the OSPCA and the ASPCA to leak their horror stories to our man Assange, so the greater public can finally, hopefully realize how sickeningly cruel governments are.

I want "laboratories" that practice animal torture, in "scientific experiments" paid for by governmental agencies such as doctors organizations and health boards, to leak their truths about how pregnant animals uterus's are cut in half and tobacco smoke is pushed into the womb, in order to be able to print the fucking warning label on cigarette boxes.


Dogs are still killed in experiments for cigarette companies . In case anybody still thinks it is a good idea to smoke during pregnancy, monkeys at the federally funded Oregon Regional Primate Research Center are confined in small, barren metal cages, while their fetuses are exposed to nicotine. The baby monkeys, once born, will be killed and examined.

Animals are used as living battering rams in every capacity inhumanly possible. They are used as impact "dummies" to check car safety (General Motors); this is called "live testing" and has purportedly ended, they are tested on to ensure our hands won't become sensitive to our dish soap, such as Ivory (Procter and Gamble) to vaccines and lipsticks.

Most humans still think they are entitled to assert their human-ness ..or evilness over the earth and the beings that inhabit it, and that we inhabit it with. Most people still justify using animals to test vaccines on, caging them, wearing their bodies and skins and coats, and eating their flesh , which has been killed in horrific ways.

It is crucial to question what we read, find out all the facts, and whose interests are being represented while still continuing to fight for the lives of our friends, the silent masses of torture victims in labs worldwide.

Half way there!

It took a year and nearly 3 months, but I'm finally at just over 5,000 signatures on my petition to have animal rights and protections included in Canada's constitution!!!

I have 5,201 signatures..right now. In fact, I re-posted the petition again last night and already have 451 signatures on it. The first one I posted has 913 signatures. So, I am finally half way to my goal of 10,000 signatures.

Here is the latest re-posting :http://www.thepetitionsite.com/3/rights-for-all-animals/

It's a dark and blustery early fall evening. took my first "sick" day, today since starting my job.
I cried too much last night about my grandmother, who hasn't eaten in days, and is lying in the hospital wasting away or just waiting..It's beyond awful.

I wrote to my class to tell them class was cancelled and not one of the 6 emails I got were even vaguely considerate, just selfish shit asking about themselves. Nothing new.

I feel like I should meet Winnie the Pooh any second, cuz it's so blustery. My kitten's curled up on my bed.

All things otters, and such like

Best friends
Holding hands, asleep! How cute is that!?
A pile of baby sea otters-sleeping.
Cute
Still holding hands; they are just that cute.

Ok, I need a wee dose of adorable..so I came upon a cute-as-cute picture of sea otters. However, these all too cute mammals are also a threatened species, and the evilness that is the BP disastor, has caused and will contine to cause many otters and other sea faring beings as well as birds to become endangered. As well, obvioulsly many beings died slow, painful deaths.

I found an article, above, about the
threatened sea otters. The article incorrectly has them listed as "extinct", which is not the case. Clearly the writer doesn't understand the meaning of the word. However, they are endangered and were at one point on the brink of extinction. Also on the list of animals on the endangered list, which was a shock to me, Atlantic salmon.

http://hubpages.com/hub/Animals-Endangered-by-the-Gulf-Oil-Spill-Endangered-Species-Facts--This is an article about animals who have become endangered as a result of BP's fuck up.

It's sad and awful. Humans always take advantage of the earth and the beings who live gently on it.

Some Thoughts on The Day of the Dead

I went to a beautiful Day of the Dead celebration, with an incredible Aztec dance circle on Halloween. The dancers were dressed up andsome haf their faces painted as skeletons and had insanely beautiful feathered headpieces, from Mexico.

It's a beautiful tradition to honour one's dead that way, not to be frightened but to celebrate the life and journey of the being; animal or person who has passed.

I forgot to bring my camera, though ):

Halloween is the complete opposite of The Day of the Dead. It's whole aim is to teach children to fear death, darkness, and the mysteries and magick connected with the earth, and of course, to be greedy as anything!
