About Me

PeTA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. PeTA is a non-profit organization that is against all animal cruelty.
PeTA Facts:
Cows get their horns cut off without painkillers,they are also branded without painkillers.
Animals on fur farms are left for days without food or water, they start to fight and eat each other alive.
Animals that are caught in traps try chewing off their own feet to get out.
Alot of animals that are used for fur, are skinned alive.
Pigs get their testicles, and teeth yanked out, without pain killers.
Think those are cute? Theyre killed at 2 months old. The males are cut up and served to the other chicks.
Both turkeys and chickens are shoved into cages the size of filing cabinets. They cant even expand one wing and they usually die from suffocation.

Tell Donna Karan to stop selling fur!
Despite the fact that Donna Karan, the chief designer behind the DKNY brand, has promised to STOP using fur in her designs in the past, we have learned that she continues to use and sell fur. Please join us in urging Karan to discontinue the sale of all fur items and to institute a permanent fur-free policy. PETA has asked Karan to join other top designers and retailers—including her top competitors Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, and others—who have already adopted permanent fur-free policies.
Animals on fur farms spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages, where they are exposed to all weather conditions. They often go without clean water or veterinary care, and they are denied the opportunity to engage in natural behaviors like climbing, burrowing, and swimming. The intensive confinement causes many animals on fur farms to go insane.
Fur farmers use the cheapest killing methods available, including neck-breaking, suffocation, poisoning, and electrocution. Many animals are electrocuted by having rods inserted into their rectums and 240 volts of electricity sent through their bodies. The animals convulse, shake, and often cry out before suffering painful heart attacks. Crude killing methods aren't always effective, and sometimes animals "wake up" while they are being skinned alive.
Karanknows about the suffering that goes into every fur-trimmed coat, hat, and bag, yet she continuesto use and promote real fur. Please contact Karan and let her know that you will not buy any of her designs until she makes the compassionate decision to go fur-free for good.
Her phone number is 212-789-1839. Give her a call & tell her how you feel about fur & let her know ONCE AGAIN what goes on in the processing. Even if theres an answering machine,leave a message.
Thanks for helping save the animals!
MARS CANDY KILLS!
Be a sweetheart and show your love for all animals by buying only cruelty-free treats for your sweetie this Valentine's Day! Don't buy from Mars or any other cold-hearted company that tests on animals, especially since there is tons of cruelty-free candy from companies that don't test on animals, such as Hershey's.
Mars recently funded a deadly experiment on rats to determine the effects of chocolate ingredients on their blood vessels. Experimenters force-fed the rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats and then cut open the rats' legs to expose an artery, which was clamped shut to block blood flow. After the experiment, the animals were killed. Mars has also funded cruel experiments in which mice were fed a candy ingredient and forced to swim in a pool of a water mixed with white paint. The mice had to find a hidden platform to avoid drowning, only to be killed and dissected later on. In yet another experiment supported by Mars, rats were fed cocoa and anesthetized with carbon dioxide so that their blood could be collected by injecting a needle directly into their hearts, which can lead to internal bleeding and other deadly complications. Click here to find out more about Mars' cruel experiments.

Mars' top competitor, Hershey's, has pledged not to fund or conduct experiments on animals. Other major food corporations—including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Ocean Spray, Welch's, and POM Wonderful—have also publicly ended animal tests after hearing from PETA.
~Ways to help~
* Call Mars' headquarters at 1-800-627-7852 and let officials there know that you refuse to spend any money on Mars products until the company agrees to stop funding animal experiments.
* Ask your friends and family members to contact Mars.
* Fill out a customer service form at Mars.com.
* Distribute PETA's anti-Mars stickers and cards. Hand them out outside grocery stores, drugstores, or anywhere else Mars candy is sold. E-mail [email protected] your address, and we’ll send you as many as you can use.
* Join PETA's Activist Network to keep informed on more ways that you can help.
* Pass our Web site [marscandykills.com] along to friends and family members.
Everyone thinks the sheep just recieve a haircut & then the wool is used for sweaters & such. That is not the case. PLEASE don't wear wool.

KFCRUELTY

Why KFC?

PETA is asking KFC to eliminate the worst abuses that chickens suffer on the factory farms and in the slaughterhouses of its suppliers, including live scalding, life-long crippling, and painful debeaking. The more than 850 million chickens killed each year for KFC are tortured in ways that would result in felony cruelty-to-animals charges if cats or dogs were the victims, but KFC still refuses to make changes. As the leader in the chicken industry, KFC has a responsibility to ensure that the chickens raised for its buckets are protected from the worst cruelties.

Are other companies as bad as KFC?

KFC tells the public that it's raising the bar on animal welfare, but in reality KFC is trailing behind some of its competitors when it comes to making minimal changes to ease the suffering of animals raised for food. McDonald's and Burger King are making good faith progress on animal welfare, as are some other large corporations, such as Whole Foods, Albertson's, and Safeway. KFC, on the other hand, refuses to implement improvements recommended by its own animal welfare advisors, so that five prominent scientists and meat-industry advisors have resigned. Even after PETA released undercover footage shot inside a slaughterhouse that won KFC's "Supplier of the Year" Award showing workers who were stomping on animals, ripping their heads off, spitting tobacco juice into their eyes, and slamming them against walls, KFC refused to require the changes that have been recommended. While some other fast-food companies have made real progress on the animal welfare front, KFC has stubbornly refused to take the necessary steps to protect chickens from the worst forms of cruelty.

Don't chickens have to be treated well in order to grow efficiently?
Animals on factory farms do not gain weight as a result of being comfortable, content, or well cared for; rather, they continue to grow in miserable conditions because they have been manipulated through genetics and growth-promoting drugs (antibiotics, in the case of birds). Chickens raised for food are killed when they are only 6 weeks old, so the farmers only have to keep them alive for a short period of time—but even that is difficult on today's filthy and disease-ridden factory farms. So farmers dose the animals with antibiotics—not just to make them grow more quickly, but also to help them survive in conditions that would otherwise kill them. By the time they are 6 weeks old—still just babies—many chickens are so sick and top-heavy that they can no longer walk. Even with the help of powerful antibiotics, many birds don't make it. To make up for these losses, farmers cram 30,000 to 50,000 birds into each shed so that if several hundred die each week, there will still be enough birds who survive for the farmer to make a profit.

More To Come

Types of Vegetarians:

Lacto-ovo-vegetarian: Eats both dairy products and eggs. This is the most common type of vegetarian diet. But you shouldnt eat eggs.

Lacto-vegetarian: Eats dairy products but not eggs.

Ovo-vegetarian: Eats eggs but not dairy products.

Vegan: Does not eat dairy products, eggs, or any other animal product.

Fruitarian: A type of vegan diet where very few processed or cooked foods are eaten. Consists mainly of raw fruit, grains and nuts. Fruitarians believe only plant foods that can be harvested without killing the plant should be eaten.

Macrobiotic: A diet followed for spiritual and philosophical reasons. Aims to maintain a balance between foods seen as ying (positive) or yang (negative). The diet progresses through ten levels, becoming increasingly restrictive. Not all levels are vegetarian, though each level gradually eliminates animal products. The highest levels eliminate fruit and vegetables, eventually reaching the level of a brown rice diet.

Raw- Foodists: People who only eat vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds that have not been heated over 118 degrees Fahrenheit
