Cows hold grudges, say scientists
|
|
ONCE they were a byword for mindless docility. But cows have a complex mental life in which they bear grudges, nurture friendships and become excited by intellectual challenges, researchers have found.
Cows are capable of strong emotions such as pain, fear and even anxiety about the future. But if farmers provide the right conditions, they can also feel great happiness.
The findings have emerged from studies of farm animals that have found similar traits in pigs, goats and chickens. They suggest such animals may be so emotionally similar to humans that welfare laws need to be reconsidered.

|
|
Anonymous writes "World’s largest vegetarian food relief
Food For Life Global, the world’s largest vegetarian and vegan food relief organization, has made a name for itself within the vegetarian community and among international relief agencies. With operations spanning 50 countries, the charity has served more than 100 million freshly cooked vegetarian meals throughout America, Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe. “Every second of the day, FFL is serving a needy person in the world through its free food restaurants, mobile kitchens, school programs and emergency services,” explains its Australian director, Paul Turner.
The project was founded in 1974 after an elderly Indian swami, Srila Prabhupada, asked his yoga students to not allow anyone within a ten mile radius of his temple to go hungry. "

Vegan M.D. vs The Atkins Corporation
|
|
Dr. Michael Greger M.D. and vegan activist scared the Atkins Corporation
when he put up his website atkinsfacts.com.
The Atkins Corporation had good reason to be scared. Dr. Greger is
intelligent, very well educated, very well versed in the literature,
and a charismatic speaker.
I am sure they have nightmare visions of him going on the talk show
circuit to promote his upcoming anti-atkins book.
So, they threatened him.
Dr. Greger has retained lawyers and escalated his battle.
He has published the threats from The Atkins coporation and his rebuttal
to their points of argument on his web site:

Vegans let aspirant rot on the vine
|
|
Being more interested in consuming chard than counting chads, vegetarians did not play a prominent role in the last presidential election. Unless something changes quickly, history seems destined to repeat in Campaign '04.
Though vegans now have one of their own as a candidate, Democratic U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, there is scant evidence they are rallying behind him.

Recently was released a new animated flash movie, The Meatrix:
The film exposes factory farming in an informative and interesting way, and includes information
about what people can do to help. If you haven't seen this movie yet, please take two minutes to
watch it. It is entertaining and clever, AND it packs a political punch!
