Cowardice asks the question, is it safe?
Expediency asks the question, is it politic?
Vanity asks
the question, is it popular?
But conscience asks the question, is it right?
There comes
a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor popular,
but he must take it because his conscience
tells him that it is right.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Because of my sensitivity toward animals, this page was not an
easy one to put together. I'm sure it will not be an easy one to read/view, either.
* Animal Suffering *
----------
NOTE: Very graphic!
Horrific things are being done to dogs and cats in other countries. In The Philippines, Nagaland, Burma,
Thailand, Nepal, Laos, Maylaysia, Indonisia, North Sumatra Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea, China, Belium, and so many more places, dogs
and cats are slaughtered for fur, hides and food. For the fur, some animals are skinned and for food the
hair is blow torched while the animal is still alive.
The cats, many times still alive, are pushed into a boling, scalding pressure cooker screaming
out in pain, trying to claw their way out while someone with a stick keeps pushing them back in. These animals are put through
such horrible abuse and pain before they die. Usually two people will break the dogs' back and put all four
legs over the back. They leave the dog to suffer in pain for hours with a can over it's mouth and nose.
There is much more abuse done to these animals, but I won't go any further into it here.
The fur ends up on items like coats, sweaters and stuffed animals. They are imported
to the UK, USA, and to other countries, as well.
In China under cover investigators followed a slaughterhouse bound truck and investigators
spotted among the doznes of terrified faces a sweet, floppy-eared mongrel who seemed to symbolize the heartbreak of this barbaric
trade. He was a small, black dog with butterscotch eyes, not much more than a pup. He wore a pastel collar with a heart-shaped
pendant inscribed with the word "love." Was he someone's much loved pet?

we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt." ~Anna Sewell, author
