•2-4-89 • 2 CommentsReading the Slaughterhouse by Gail A Eisnity persuade me to become a vegan. The slaughterhouse is a book that goes into great detail how horrible the meat industry teats the animals before and while slaughtering them. Animals are intelligent, emotional and social creatures. They do not deserve to be treated this way, no living thing does.
The living conditions alone, is so unsanitary it is inhumane. Cows, Pigs, chickens are forced into tiny pins with fifty other animals .Those pins are so overcrowded the animals urinate, defecate and vomit on each other. They are fed garbage and some are fed other dead animals .From this cruel treatment the poor animals usually are covered with open wounds and sores .To keep the animals from going crazy and attacking each other and the workers, the animals are given antibiotics. The meat we eat has antibiotics in it. Then the poor animals are cruelly murdered. The animals are supported to be ‘stunned’ before they are slaughtered. This means getting a metal shot into the skull which makes the animals unconscious. In the slaughter houses one animal is killed every three seconds, with this many killings going on it is common for the ‘stunner’ to miss his mark. When this happens the animals are fully conscious, while being murdered. The sometimes conscious they are animals are ‘stung up’ form the ceiling by a chin attached to their legs , if the animals are fully conscious they are struggling and screaming. The workers then slices their throats open to bleed them .Before their can bleed to death their skin is sliced from their heads sometimes while still conscious .Image the pain they must go with.
Animals get treated cruelly in every meat packing factory in America. Every single meat factor worker admitted to abusing or neglecting the farm animal’s .In egg-laying factories, male chickens are though in the trash to die. Helpless baby cows are pulled away form their mother and killed for veal. Animals have feelings just like people. They feel fear, pain. Researchers at Bristol University in Britain searchers discovered that cows actually form nurture friendship and hold grudges. Pigs are smarter than dogs and three old years. Intelligent animals know what is going to happen to then before die. I recommend every one who eats meat or has ever eaten meat read the slaughter house. You shoulder know where the food you put in your month comes form.
Concerns Evironment
•2-4-89 • 2 Comments| Saving the environment is something everyone on the planet has in common .The earth is our home and we need to do everything in our power to keep it clean and safe. Some of my main concern for the environments is air pollution, wildlife extinction, water pollution, and loss of forests. Air pollution is something that is all around us .We are effected by it everything time we go outside. We need to breathe to live and breathing polluted air can hurt are lungs. Wildlife extinction is other important and very sad fact. An even saddest fact is the wildlife extinction in mainly our fault. As the author Jared Daimond points out in The Mirror of our fate. ‘In the United States ,at an accelerating rate, we are destroying natural habitats or else converting them to human-made habitats, and pastures ,roads and golf courses. Other issue that is related to extinction of animals is the loss of forest. The more forest we destroy the more homeless or extinct animals there is in the world. The United States has already destroyed so much of its beautiful nature forest. As Daimond in The Mirror of our fate state ‘More than half the world’s ordinal area of forest has already been converted to other uses. One of the most important issues is water pollen .Growing up in Oxnard, California; I was always walking distance to the beach. I got to see first hand how pollution in our ocean. It is disgusting how we trash something so beautiful. Every day the environment problem gets a little worse. We as a planet need to came together and work to save the environment. |
Inspirations
•2-4-89 • 2 CommentsInspirations ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’-GandhiGandhi’s quote inspirited me to live my life in a total different way then I was living .In this world there are so many horrible things I wish I could change. Things like pollution, war, property, homeless children and so much hate. My attitude used to be one person can’t make a difference .Gandhi quote ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’ helped me realize that my actions can change the world. For example , next time I go to the beach and it is polluted, instead of wishing for a cleaning beach, I could get all my friends together and set up a beach clean up. By doing little things like volunteer in your community, recycling, or just by being kind to a stranger, everyday people can change the world for the better. Look though out history. Rosa Packs stared a whole civil rights movement by not sitting in the back of a bus. If everyone had the attendee of ‘Be the change you want see in the world’ are society could accomplish amazing and wonderful things. ‘Everyday I keep my face to the sunshine so I cannot see the shadows’ –Helena KellerHelena Keller’s quote is so inspiriting to me. She is basically saying to focus on the positive not the negative in your life. Helena Keller overcomes many hardships in her life. She became both blind and deaf at a very young age. Helena Keller could have just sit around and felt sorry for her self but instead she changed the way the world views people with debilities. Hearing about what she overcome, made me look at my own life and realize have much I have and not to feel sorry form myself. With a positive out look on life nothing is too hard.
Resolutions for 2008
•2-4-89 • 1 Comment1. To become a vegetarian .I decided to become vegetarian become I think it is cruel to kill and eat animals. I found that bring a vegetarian is also great for your health and the environment. Vegetarian consume less saturated fat and cholesterol than meat eater. A plant based diets protect us against heart disease, diabetes, obesity. Eating meat not only hurts your body but the environment as well. More than half the water used in the United States goes to animal agriculture. Many leading environmental organizations say the most important step you can take to save the planet is to go vegetarian. 2. Learn to surf. I always loved the ocean. I just think about the beach and my mood improves. This year for exercise and for a way to relax I going to become an avid surfer. I already have the board and wetsuit, all I need is more practice. 3. In 2008 I will stop using profanity .Rude words make you look unintelligent and low class. They also affronted people. They also are improper for most situations. Now when I get mad now, I will think of something funny to say like ‘Loud love a duck’. 4. Stop gossiping. I going lie, everybody love to gossip! But lately I began to realize how hurtful and immature gossip really is .Gossip can only cause unwanted drama and hurt feelings. Too many times have someone I thought was my friend told cruel lies and gossip about me . I never want to do this to anyone. That why gossip will end with me. 5. Learn to forgive and forget. In the past I had been the type of person to hold a gauge for a very long time. This year I want to learn how to forgive and move now. Bering angry only hurts your self. The person you are angry with most likely does not even remember what they did. It is much healthy to forgive the person and carry peace in your heart.
