Please check out Madison Park's music video called SAVING OPUS ONE (above). It's a song dedicated to a pig named Opus One and the billions of other factory farm animals just like him. The video is not graphic, but it will stir your emotions when you see how factory farm animals live. My profile is dedicated to factory farm animals everywhere.I am a nature and animal loving pagan. I live a contemplative life in an old stone mill surrounded by water, wildlife and sacred trees. I weave the natural enchantments into my daily life and I am always seeking to deepen my connection to the universe. My life mirrors my beliefs and my passions. Those who have known me most of my life have always been aware of my deep commitment to principles I hold dear to my heart, even if it means getting into a little trouble. John Robbins once said, "We can't always be liked, but we can always be true."I love animals and protect the wildlife from those who seek to harm them. Pagans have a natural affinity to nature and understand the connection between all life, including non-human animals. Being vegan allows me to honor my personal and spiritual beliefs and to show compassion for all sentient creatures. Living in PA has made me painfully aware of the hidden life of factory farm animals. Factory farm animals live an incredibly sad, painful, and miserable life and it ends with a horrific death. The animals desperately need people to act on their behalf. Please check out the profiles of the various animal group friends on my page. There are many videos that show the ongoing torture of animals around the world and ways you can help stop the torture. Many people say they can't view the videos because it is hard to watch. IT IS HARD TO WATCH, BUT IT IS THE REALITY FOR THE ANIMALS!!!! The animals are suffering for food, clothing, entertainment, medical experimentation, and for CORPORATE GREED!!! The industries that torture animals don't view them as sentient beings, they view them as property and mere products. They don't think or care about the pain inflicted on non-human animals. If you eat meat, eggs or dairy products, you are supporting the suffering of animals, WHETHER YOU WANT TO ADMIT IT OR NOT. The next time you are eating animal products, think about this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson," You have just dined, and however scrupulous the slaughterhouse is concealed to the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity." If you make the decision to leave meat off your plate or reduce your consumption of meat, it will make a difference for the animals, your health and the environment!!! Jeremy Bentham posed this moral question: THE QUESTION IS NOT "CAN THEY REASON?" NOR "CAN THEY TALK?" BUT "CAN THEY SUFFER?"I have visited a number of factory farms and it makes me wonder how someone can raise animals in this way and not be touched emotionally by the endless suffering of the animals they raise. I support peaceful, non-violent means to save animals, but many times more direct action is needed. The ALF, Sea Shepherds, Open Rescue, Animal's Angels and individuals throughout the world do an outstanding job in the cause to save animals! They risk their own lives and personal freedom to save the animals from gruesome situations. It is unfortunate our government is trying to stifle the rights of those who want to protect the environment and end of the suffering of animals, especially factory farm animals. In 2006, Congress passed HR 4239---The Animal Enterprise Terrorist Act. Now, animal rights activists and environmentalists can be charged as terrorists if their activism leads to corporate interests losing revenue. The real loss is our freedom of dissent and our freedom to question our government/corporate motivations. The welfare of people, animals and the environment don't matter when there is money to be made. Still, there are those who will continue to defend the rights of the non-human animals. There comes a point in one's life when we begin to think of others and their plight and then we must do something to make change. You can do your part by making the decision to go vegetarian or bet yet, vegan.href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnBpbXAt bXktcHJvZmlsZS5jb20v"Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Space Angel - Image Hosting
