Those Innocent Eyes
By Sunny Tripathy

Those innocent eyes fill with tears, as you slowly slice them. The last moments of her life, though she was just born�Why must we kill for food? There is no such thing as necessity of meat. If millions of vegetarians are happy and healthy without meat, then anybody could be. Vegetarians have a 15-20% less chance of getting certain cancers, up to 50% less chance of stroke, and 25% less chance of getting obese. I have become healthy and fit after becoming vegetarian two years ago. There are more than a hundred reasons to go vegetarian.

In the love of God, or the love of them�we must stop. For some dirty flesh, would you really want to stoop to such sin? Would you eat your dog? You love your cat, your bird�but what�s different about a pig, or chicken, or turkey? They�re animals too. You say they�re wild�but dogs can be ferocious monsters with big teeth as well. Any animal is capable of being loved. Have compassion for them�stop this inhumane murder. Words can be priceless. See my page of Vegetarian Quotes.

Animals will continue to die and suffer until we take action. We don�t really understand the cruelty until we see it for ourselves. I never knew what animals had to go through for us. Look at a meal. You go to some restaurant, and order a meal: pork fried rice, grapefruit juice and Jell-O for dessert. You think you know what you�re eating. It�s clean now, and looks well. But stop and analyze your food. The pork fried rice � the pork was from a living pig. This pig was beaten, shocked, stunned, kicked, thrown, tortured, and then bled in a slaughterhouse. The pig thrashed as it bled all over the floor. These floors were filled with rats and bacteria. Many of those pigs were diseased, and near green with tumors and fungi. They were tossed with the clean meat, and the bacteria spread rapidly. The blood was lightly washed before the meat was frozen and sent to a market. Eggs were also added to the fried rice. The hens who laid those eggs, were crammed into cages smaller than your arm length. Often, more than eight fat chickens were stuffed in cages with less than two square feet. These chickens were frequently electrocuted to increase egg production. Never saw sunlight�never did they breathe fresh air. Their legs grew to the metal cage that they always walked on. Those chickens were often starved to agitate them for an egg. Most if not all these chickens suffered from disease, injuries, and other fatal cancers. Once they died in those harsh conditions, they were slaughtered. And their fly-eaten bodies with worms were mixed with other clean chicken. Okay, so you avoid the fried rice, what about the rest.

Grapefruit juice � sounds great. It sure is a beautiful red color. Wonder why? CARMINE> Carmine is derived from ground up red beetles. They are dried, and crushed for their red color, and added to foods such as candies, juice, cookies, yogurts, and other �natural� foods. I sure hope you enjoy a nice cold glass of beetle blood as I do. ICK! Thank god you got that Jell-O to fall back on. Not so fast... That Jell-O is held together with gelatin. Gelatin is made from animal tendons, bones, and skin. Most of the gelatin in Jell-O comes from pig bones and hooves, and is used to make the Jell-O thick and bouncy. Yum, I can�t wait to have bones, tendons, skin, and HOOVES for dessert. Sounds so appetizing� You think this is all far-fetched? Think again. Find out for yourself�do some research and be stunned. I was too.
