Animals as Food

It's What's for Dinner

Hundreds of them, loaded into the small truck.
The conditions are too cold,
But who cares? They are inferior.

They squirm under the conditions,
Under our arrogance and our abuse of power.
Loud and squealing, they are noisy.
There is fright on their adorable little faces.
Crying, they are forced out of their last chance.
Chunks of flesh are ripped off, frozen to the truck.
They know where they are going.
They are not as stupid as we think.
They walk to their deaths,
As if they were going to the gas chamber in a Nazi concentration camp.
Trying to fight an instinctual battle of survival.
Who cares though?

Their feet still kicking and mouths still screaming,
They are hung up.
Their throats are slit.
Pours out the blood, the life; while it feels
The last thing it will feel in its life - PAIN.
But who cares?

Not us, it's just another holiday ham.
Pork: the other damn white meat.
We don't care how it got to the plate
As long as it's there.
Who cares about the pig?

It's just a trip to the slaughterhouse;
A journey to the end of life.
Dinner's ready.

 You can substitute a heaping tablespoon of
soy flour and a tablespoon of water for an egg in any baking
recipe. I can't tell the difference in anything that I've
tried (cookies, cakes, etc.), and it's usually
cheaper too.

For further information about cruelty~free eating while it takes me forever to get my act together with this site (!), check this story out for a turn~of~the~tables (aaaauuuuugggghhh!!!!) version of  our carnivorous ways: http://www.vegsource.com/harris/visitors.htm.  There are links at the top of this page to get you through the rest of the site.

Then, check out http://www.veganmd.com/!  There is PLENTY of protien to be had in the vegan diet (since that's every carnivore's first question), and yes, Virginia, you can EVEN be an elite~level athlete (http://www.veganathlete.com/)!  How cool is that?!  

These sites are all MORE than worth looking through thoroughly!!

~* Much more to come ~*
