The World's Militaries and 58 Ways They Harm Animals

Folder: 
A Fellow Creature
Author's Notes/Comments: 

Dogs are like zeros..
to the unconscious
they have no value
To the conscious they
are like a zero added
after a number which
multiplies its value.

While bears and other hibernating animals are destroyed
                 by the US military in Afghan caves, and horses are destroyed by
                 bombs and opposition troops,
                 dogs are used to detect mines in Afghanistan. To the military
                 they are expendable. Dogs have been bombed as they constantly
                 watchdog outside Afghan camps. They are not allowed in most
                 Muslim homes. As 1.5 million Afghans face hunger and the UN
                 and bombing coalition bicker about food relief, dogs are
                 sometimes eaten.

                 Primates have been subjected to forced radiation at Brooks
                 Air Force Base, where Dr Donald Barnes' resignation and refusal
                 to participate sparked a Hollywood movie. At Bethesda Naval
                 Hospital, primates have been forced to sit in restraining devices
                 upright in chairs for months on end, sleeping, defecating, not
                 moving, for astronaut studies. Dr Lilly who wrote Day of the Dolphin
                 refused to participate in the Navy's use of dolphins as bomb
                 carriers. PETA was able to cancel the practice of dogs
                 as shooting targets for military surgical practice.

                 Howard Lyman and Oprah Winfrey have won in the 5th
                 Circuit against the 1/4 of the nation's feedlot
                 owners who fatten cows for slaughter. They
                 are in Amarillo Texas. Now these cattlemen have
                 filed a 2nd time.

                 Senators Grassley and Harkin of Iowa and Senator
                 Feingold of Wisconsin are working to class baby
                 chicks as expendable, not covered by protections
                 of older animals in transit

                 Scott Simon of Weekend Edition this morning recommended chicken
                 soup for laryngitis. Chicken
                 soup
                 contains among
                 dozens of other toxins.. trioxypurine, pre urine or uric
                 acid contained in muscle cells. It would have been eliminated
                 through the innocent bird's kidneys had she lived.
                 It is more lethal than dioxypurine, caffein. Both are a cause
                 of arthritis, yet the makers of Celebrex and Vioxx
                 wish to obscure the meat origins of arthritis.
