The Criminals Dictating the Laws – 6 March 2009
Of all the animals in America who suffer cruelty, 95 percent of
them are farmed animals. Designated as economic units, they have
conveniently been stripped of all protections against abuse. At the
federal level, the Animal Welfare Act simply does not apply to
farmed animals. At the state level, where laws might pick up the
slack, anti-cruelty statutes are either not enforced or have, in
recent years, been rewritten to exclude farmed animals. In the case
of the latter, if a farming practice is established as “accepted,”
“common,” “customary,” or “normal” – no matter how inhumane –
anti-cruelty protections are overridden. In essence, it’s the
criminals dictating the laws to suit their designs.

My husband Frank and I have been vegan for over 20 years, and the
blessings in health and conscience have been enormous. When made aware
of the cruelty involved in the animal product industries, so many people
ask what they can do. The answer is simple: Go vegan! As long as people
keep spending their money on animal-derived products, the torture will
continue – as well as all the diseases brought on, or aggravated, by
their consumption.

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.Blog
