“Someone recently said to me, “What’s happening to animals is bad, but not bad...”
– John Sakars
blackmonger-deactivated20120422 asked: dairy also drains calcium from your bones due to the acidic state it creates in your blood after consumption, which can cause osteoporosis. It also can lead to cancer. Many major food health organisations have removed dairy from their charts of "a healthy balanced diet". Its basically poison!

Watch
Warning: scary video. This recent video from Animal Equality reveals cruelty at a pig farm in Spain. For those who don’t want to watch it, basically it’s pigs being stabbed with swords. Towards the end it gets super graphic while a pig is disemboweled. Yeah, not for the faint of heart.
Three of the workers in the footage have been arrested. I haven’t heard anything about supervisors getting...

A vegan, vegetarian algae alternative to fish oil providing the purest, most natural form of omega 3 EPA & DHA.
V-Pure is the original EPA and DHA supplement. Its 100% natural, highly concentrated omega-3 oil grown from algae. V-Pure have cut out the fish and went straight to the source of Omega-3. Fish don’t produce omega-3, they contain omega-3 because of their diet of algae. Why V-Pure...

Welcome to the (Fur) Farm.
treekisser:
These photos were taken by heroic activists on European fur farms. After enduring brief miserable lives, these animals are mercilessly slaughtered for their fur pelts to satisfy the greed of companies like INTERMIX.
In honor of these lost lives, please help us ask Intermix to go fur free by signing & sharing our petition: INTERMIX: Please Go Fur Free!
These feet will never...

Be horrified. Be very horrified. Then try to imagine this being done to dogs. If you base your compassion on intelligence, know that pigs are smarter than dogs (not that it should matter). All across the country, millions of them are living like this and have their testicles ripped out, their tail cut off and their teeth pulled out without pain-killers or anesthesia. If the same were done...

Lambs marked for slaughter and desperately trying to get back to their mothers. I will never, ever understand how some people could ever view another living being as disposable and not worthy to live. Equally, I will NEVER, EVER stop being the voice for those who can’t speak for themselves. Treat others as you would want to be treated…it’s that simple. - Maria...

I Couldn’t Give Up Cheese, So I Gave Up Animal...
I used to think I could never give up cheese. After all, it was my very favorite food. When my husband and I would eat out at chi-chi restaurants, I wouldn’t even look at the entrées or desserts; I’d just order the cheese plate. Brie, havarti, gouda, goat, stilton, gorgonzola, feta…I loved them all. I remember one time (before I knew the truth about animal agriculture) I went to a local...

Big Dairy’s Latest Smear Tactic
There was a time, not too long ago, when one’s milk options were relegated to different varieties of cow’s milk (i.e.: full-fat, reduced-fat, skim, lactose-free).
Times have changed. Soy was the first plant milk to “go mainstream” in the mid 1990s, and now multiple varieties are on supermarket shelves, including almond, coconut, hazelnut, hemp, oat, rice, and sunflower seed.
Much like an...

When someone compares veganism to a religion, they are wrong.
A religion is a system of belief.
Belief: Mental acceptance of a claim as truth regardless of supporting or contrary empirical evidence; Something believed; The quality or state of believing; Religious faith; One’s religious or moral convictions.
We do not believe animals are suffering. We know they are. And so do you....

Does One Person’s Need Excuse Another’s Greed?
Anyone who has been vegan for more than a few months is probably familiar with what I call “The Inuit Defense.” When presented with an argument for veganism, it’s common for people to bring up the diet of some remote indigenous population (usually the Inuit) as justification for why they should continue consuming animal products. “Well, the Inuit must hunt and fish in order to survive,” they...

Dear friends and fellow activists,
At a time when most animal rights organizations are actively promoting, advocating and rewarding “humane” animal products and farming methods, I am writing to you on behalf of three of the recipients of that mercy.
To the industry, they are known as production units #6, #35, and #67,595. To the “compassionate” consumer, they are known as feel-good labels: “organic dairy”, “rose veal”,...

Do We Really Pay Attention?
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed...

Tell Airlines: Stop Transporting Nonhuman Primates...
Please support the BUAV’s campaign to stop airlines transporting nonhuman primates for the research industry. Airlines play a key role in the international trade in primates for research by transporting monkeys for laboratories around the world. Cruelty and suffering are an intrinsic part of the trade. Some monkeys are taken from the wild; others are the offspring of wild-caught...
