I am an animal activist, environmentalist and a feminist. I am vegan. Part of being vegan includes not using any product that is knowingly tested or used on animals (lotions, cleaning products, medicines). GO VEGAN! You may feel powerless to stop war or other violence, but you can choose not to support slaughterhouses by rejecting flesh foods. It's violence that you can stop. All life is equal, and the life that is here on the planet right now should be given a fair chance before new life is brought in. Even though Sarah Palin (the wicked witch of the west) is now going back to AK to continue being their Governor, I will still keep her antics and debauchery in my bulletins and profile. I knew of her long before McCain tapped that ass for VP. She has a horrible record of animal cruelty and can be likened to Wild Bill Hickok with her wanton disregard of animal life. Sarah Palin is NOT pro-life!
Your Life is 92% Green
Your life is totally green, and as far as your environmental beliefs go... your actions do speak louder than your words.
Your lifestyle totally serves as an inspiration to others. Whether you know it or not. So keep it up!
How Green Is Your Life?On average, feeding a meat eater requires 3.25 acres of agricultural land each YEAR. In contrast, an ovo-lacto vegetarian needs just an acre per year. And Vegans? A mere one-sixth of an acre. More than 4,000 gallons of water are needed to produce a single day's worth of food for the typical meat eater. An ovo-lacto vegetarian requires 1,200 gallons, and vegan needs 300.
In the huge hog farming operations, thousands of hogs are bred with new genetic engineering to grow faster and are housed indoors in cubicles. Their diet often includes drugs. Sows have the toughest life; only a few weeks after the piglets are born, they are taken away. Then the sows are artificially inseminated again. They are kept in gestation crates which are so small they cannot turn around or stretch their legs. They suckle their piglets through bars on the crates.
Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative-and fatal-health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other humans are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the obsurdity of man, who kills so easily and violently, and once a year sends out cards praying for "Peace on Earth".
