10,000 CHICKENS BURNED ALIVE FACTORY FARM FIRE

A variation of the post about the 100 dairy cows being burned alive...

This time it's 10,000 chickens burned alive in a Kentucky inferno - Only a few got out alive... http://www.wthr.com/Global/story.asp?S=9514560

And then there were 1200 hogs burned alive in July...

And 1,000 before that in New Jersey

And 4,000 pigs lost in a fire on Nov. 21st...

Well... we could go on and on about caged animals being burned alive. But perhaps the most disturbing is this from another fire just last month. The blaze took the lives of some "rare and expensive" genetic line of pigs...

Wherein the farmer said "We feel we owe it to the pigs that died to keep going."

How about everyone do cows, chickens and pigs a real favor and stop breeding them and imprisoning them in the first place... Stop burning them alive (and dead) - Stop transporting them, selling them, slaughtering them and eating them (period).

We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form. –William Ralph Inge

Holy crap! I hadn't heard of those incidents.

Murder is never pretty. I wonder why we search for other life forms in outer space when we have plenty of life forms right here on Earth. Surely, if we found beings in space, we would eat them.

Tracy - I'm figuring no station wants to risk their (meat) clients pulling their ads (?) - What a way to go though... Love your blog - thanks for dropping by!

Mr. Warwak... "if we found beings in space, we would eat them"... No thanks. I'm lacto-ovo-alienflesh intolerant. lol

They deliberately start these fires for the insurance money.

Yes indeed - it's amazing how many fires happen when their market is "down" or feed costs are "up"...

It's horrible that animals are "commodities" -

Thanks for dropping by :)
