SWITZERLAND & DEFENSE ATTORNEYS FOR ABUSED ANIMALS

expressworks9@yahoo.com — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:00:00 +0100

This week something took place in the country of Switzerland that has changed the conversation on animal rights forever. In a nutshell hat country put to the vote, whether or not Defense Attorneys should be appointed to all abused animals. Apparently, there is currently one defense attorney handling abused animals. We can just imagine the conversation amongst fisherman and hunters. According to a NPR story, a fisherman was recently charged with abuse by lea [...]

TILLY UPDATE - FREE TILLY & NECN

expressworks9@yahoo.com — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:00:00 +0100

Today at approx. 1 p.m. New England Cable News aired a press conference by SeaWorld on the death of Dawn the Whale trainer. Notable were the words used by the spokesperson. "Product" "training" "entertainment" etc. People say they love animals. They really don't. Because if they did, there would be a nationwide boycott of any and all aquariums who "keep" dolphins and "train" them [...]

FREE TILLY

expressworks9@yahoo.com — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:00:00 +0100

The news that a trainer at Seaworld in Florida was drowned and killed by Tilly the killer whale is making headline news. That Tilly and many other killer whales in captivity have drowned aquarium staff doesn't appear to switch on the smart chip in peoples brains.

Animals were NEVER meant to be enslaved, whether human animal or non-human animal. I have little if any sympathy for "trainers" who are drowned by those they are attempting to "train&q [...]

George Orwell 1984 Bush and Obama

expressworks9@yahoo.com — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:00:00 +0100

I feel as though I am living in the above author's book. We are being fed screaming and hysterical warmongering information constantly and without any reprieve. A handsome young man attempted to board a 'plane on Xmas day to blow it up is being yelled at me on NPR and every online news paper and TV news channel every second of every day. This therefore, is fueling my belief that the govt. is searching for a diversion? Has it been doing this for e [...]

Taxonomic Classifications

fengxian0@gmail.com — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 21:00:00 +0100

Two minuscule rants this time.

Firstly, this relates to the inane ability of humans to class wild animals by the wrong taxonomic diet. First and foremost, wild animals are NOT vegetarians. Never have been, never will be. The word "Vegetarian" is a definition prescribed to the class of human whom abstains from meat; the flesh of an animal. This includes chicken and fish for all you pseudo vegetarians out there.

Even the highly acclaimed Sir David Attenborough, a [...]

Purely Vegan Board

fengxian0@gmail.com — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 21:00:00 +0100

I have a new vegan board:

http://purelyvegan.proboards.com/

It's for vegans and vegetarians who are planning to go vegan only (so we can help them).

Converting people to veganism. Don't be ashamed. Be proud.

fengxian0@gmail.com — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:00:00 +0100

This is in lue of being told (by people on VFF) that one should not be proud or claim credit for someone going vegan even if it's obvious they wouldn't of gone vegan without your information sharing and encouragement. They also claimed this because apparently going vegan is the 'choice' of the person alone. If that were so, we can discredit the suffragette movement because it's clear, by the logic presented by these VFF vegans, that the suffragette movement made no difference [...]

Where can an old militant Vegan go to be of the best use on this big blue marble? looking to move in about a year... Would like to find a place with gardening potential and some vegan food already present... I'm getting a bit old to build your community from scratch. Would also like somekind of option for Vegan dating as well

Qualifications :

isis_28@live.com — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 21:00:00 +0100

Wow, it's been awhile since i was on... I'm glad to be back though... YAY!!!!! I'm still vegan, and lovin' it. Had some fall-outs with some family members because of my lifestyle choices because they choose to remain uneducated and decided that I'm just anorexic... which is ridiculous... I'm healthier than ever and about to be happier!!!! i'm leaving a toxic relationship and ready to strike out on my own with my kids and see what the new year has in store [...]

I'm going to complain now.

pianohmy@aim.com — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:00:00 +0100

Being fifteen-years-old really, really sucks. Either we're trying to fit in and be "normal" or we're trying even harder to be different from everyone else; to be "original."

Normalcy and originality, I have found, are both fantasies that can never be achieved...

When I was striving to be "normal", I subjected myself to, not only crippling self-esteem issues, but also a loss of my identity. I hated myself for not being [...]

Ouch, you guys...

pianohmy@aim.com — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:00:00 +0100

I have a headache that is about to split my head open. It's killing me, I swear.

Well, I should be doing my English essay, but that's not happening. Lol.

How are you guys? Have any silly stories you wanna share? I'm all ears!

Leave me some love! :)

Real Tigers and Tiger Woods

expressworks9@yahoo.com — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 21:00:00 +0100

Do we really care about Tiger Woods? I'm not into golfing as so many people are so perhaps this is "my" problem but I find such hypocrisy with the media. The media creates frenzies and really, the rest of us are voiceless to a large degree. I wonder what most people think? After all, isn't this an issue between Woods and his wife and inner circle? He's not taking my tax dollars like Clinton or other politicians who mak [...]

I didn't quite hear what you said, monsieur. o_o

pianohmy@aim.com — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:00:00 +0100

Sooo... how are you? What's your favorite color?

Lemme know! Comments would be greatly appreciated!!

Thankies<33

Jellybeans, of course. :)

pianohmy@aim.com — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:00:00 +0100

Hello, hello.

So, I decided that since my old account (ilovenicecream104) was getting too cluttered that I would make a new one.

If you were friends with me before, add me again!

And if you weren't, add me anyway! You'll like me, don't worry.

Thankies.<33

Did anyone watch the Wed. night Xmas special on (I think) it was NBC where the lighting of the Rockerfeller Plaza Xmas tree took place? The Xmas special included guests such as Arethra Franklin and Barry (multiple face lift I now look like a girl corpse) Barry Manilow?

Arethra Franklin, already a living carcass from the slaughterhouse she consumes daily, looked and sounded the worst I've ever seen her. Swathed in dead animals and fighting off the collar attempt [...]

Easygoing Speciesism: Rights Violations as Gifts.

roger.yates0708@gmail.com — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 21:00:00 +0100

Every year, at this time – the time of goodwill – I am assailed by radio and TV advertisements for an Irish charity called Bóthar. This organisation was started in 1989 in Limerick, Ireland, dedicated to sending dairy cows to Africa as "gifts" for poor people. Bóthar became project partners with Heifer International in the USA, and “Send A Cow” from Britain and in 1991 sent a first batch of 20 pregnant cows to Uganda.

What can animal a [...]

HAPPY PEACEFUL THANKSGIVING DAY!

expressworks9@yahoo.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:00:00 +0100

Here we are and who is as exhausted, tired and sick as I am, of hearing "happy turkey day" the day before thanksgiving day? I'd like to eradicate this altogether. Certainly the poor GMO modified turkeys aren't happy, those shot or chopped by farmers are not happy!

What are you eating? We had tofu, mashed 'taters, pumpkin, sweet potato, baby spinach salad. Nice and simple. For desert, sweet potato pie a [...]
