Stop Cruelty

I can understand why people eat animals. I did it for years. It’s how we are brought up. Society says it’s “OK” and even encourages it. Although I wish the whole world was vegan, I know that it is an uphill battle.
I can’t for the life of me understand why people would test on animals. It is horrifying. It makes me sick. Torture is barbaric in any form. Animals have feelings. They want to survive. No living thing should have to be tortured and killed to help another. It’s not fair. It’s wrong.

Companies are smearing deadly chemicals on animals, hurting them, killing them, torturing them, abusing them, starving them, and eventually killing them.

Please make a conscious effort to support cruelty free companies.

Utah Shelter Dogs Need Your Help

The North Utah Valley Animal Shelter is selling dogs to the University of Utah to be used in cruel experiments.


Cruel as in having their chests cut open, holes drilled into their skulls, hard plastic tubes shoved down their throats. The death part of the experiment would be the best part. This is horrible.

This particular animal shelter is the only one in the state of Utah that still sells dogs to be experimented on.

Please take the time to send a letter to the shelter and ask them to stop. The letter is already filled out, just click on the link to help these poor dogs.

PROPS

I would like to send a much deserved thank you to Toys “R” Us, Target, Rite Aid, Eckerd, Walgreens, JCPenney, and Albertsons for pulling the tiny tanks for fish and frogs from their shelves.


This type of action doesn’t happen without people emailing these companies and demanding change. It’s nice when we win one for the animals.

Tough To Read

I know that it can be difficult to read about and hard to imagine, but if you don’t do something to help these animals, nobody will. They need our voice.

Professional Laboratory and Research Services (PLRS) was the subject of a 9 month undercover investigation by PETA. The company, based in North Carolina, tests products for veterinary medicine for Bayer, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Novartis, Schering-Plough and Merial.

What they found was disturbing. Force-feeding cats and dogs, smearing harmful chemicals on their skin, burning, forced to sit in piss and feces, sprayed with bleach, kicking, throwing, screaming, seizures, bleeding, and finally death.

Please help them by clicking on the link and lending your voice.

HELP CHIMPANZEES!!

The Great Ape Protection Act has been introduced in the House of Representatives (Thanks to Sen. Maria Cantwell). Now let’s get it passed.

The U.S. has over 1,000 chimpanzees in labs. Most of them are kept in small cages. They are all experimented on. They are all harmed. Most of them face death (if they are lucky).

Almost 150 members of the House support it. The act needs your help to pass in Congress. Please call your Senator and urge them to support and or co-sponsor the act. All you have to do is leave a message. Tell them what State you live in and urge them to support “S. 3694” if they have not already. Feel free to add in the fact that it will save taxpayers $20-25 MILLION!!

If you live in Michigan then you want to call Sen. Levin @ 202.224.6221 and Sen. Stabenow @ 202.224.4822.

Help Orange Roughy

Costco is selling unsustainable fish. It’s as simple as that. When Trader Joe’s received a letter like this one from enough people they pulled the red listed fish off their shelves. Encourage Costco to do the same. It’s good for the ocean, you, and the fish. The letter is filled out. Just electronically sign and feel good about yourself.
