Holocaust on a Conveyor Belt - Assembly Line of Death



Scenes taken from the film Samsara

The Holocaust to nonhumans as explained by Gary Yourofsky.

"Before they reach their end, the pigs get a shower, a real one. Water sprays from all angles to wash the farm off of them. Then they begin to feel crowded. The pen narrows like a funnel; the drivers behind urge the pigs forward, until one at a time they climb onto a moving ramp. The ramp's sides move as well as it's floor. The floor is cleated to give the pigs footing. The sides are made of blocks of wood so that they will not bruise, and they slant inward to wedge the pigs along. Now they scream, never having been on such a ramp, smelling the smells they smell ahead. I do not want to over dramatize, because you have read all this before. But it was a frightening experience, seeing their fear, seeing so many of them go by. It had to remind me of things no one wants to be reminded of any more, all mobs, all death marches, all mass murders and extinctions, the slaughter of the buffalo, the slaughter of the Indian, the Inferno, Judgment Day, complicity, expensive races, races living at the expense of the race."

Halloween Confession: Who Folks Eat... Scares Me

Just in time to get the creeps for Halloween... Another human-flesh eater is arrested and charged with plotting to kidnap, kill, cook and consume women. Since January, New York police officer Gilberto Valle discussed cooking and eating female bodies with an undercover FBI agent.

Valle's computer was confiscated and shown to have "a blueprint" for "Abducting and Cooking" women along with their personal information, physical descriptions and photographs of at least 100 women. The arrest warrant documents several conversations regarding the details of the plotted crimes.
Valle is asked "How big is your oven?"
VALLE: Big enough to fit one of these girls if I folded their legs...

He also planned to "cook her over a low heat" and remarked that one of the women in the photo "looks tasty".

In fact and in fiction through necessity of eating the dead (necro-cannibalism) and for kinky kicks of killing, there are stories of those with an appetite for human flesh.

Now all this talk of "long pig" is quite repulsive to read and certainly to write about... But I had to in order to make this final point: For all the twisted excuses most people have to eat nonhuman animals... There isn't a single rational one that would disqualify eating a human one as well.

So I guess in this one way --- Living in a world of over 7 billion carnists --- I'm grateful the bulk of them follow this one irrational species exclusion. Scary isn't it?

To paraphrase da Vinci:
The time will come when men will look upon the eating of other-animals as they look upon the eating of human ones.

And remember... For the best of Halloweens... Make it a vegan one. 

You Wouldn't Eat a Cat or Dog... What's the Deal with Cows, Pigs & Birds?

From a recent blog entry from the Kansas Grains animal ag site I found this summation about the "Animal Rights Agenda":

Now I'm very certain most people would not be in favor of "breading" our friends! Nor would they approve of marinating cats in oil, onions, spices as what happened to this beautiful tuxedo feline Navarro.  In fact most people were horrified about the intended "cruelty" and disgusted by the idea of cat eating... But what exactly is so different between a cat and a bird?  Or a dog and a pig?

Melanie Joy's book Why We Love Dogs, Wear Cows and Eat Pigs explores this phenomenon and identifies it as "carnism". "Carnism is the name I’ve given to the belief system, or ideology, in which it’s considered ethical and appropriate to eat (certain) animals."  So I suppose all people who eat meat are carnists and in a broader sense, all those who use animals in general are "speciesists".

So... If you use animals - If you eat animals - at least you now know what to tag these nasty habits as...
But if you've done the critical thinking... If you've broken free from archaic ignorance - Take joy to call yourself a:
