the newspaper today and was ready to bite the head off of the poor woman next to
me, I was so made. These are really good points. Why not write to the editor of
the Citizen saying yes, we care about farm animals, we care about animals being
killed for their fur, and we believe that animals have a right to live in and of
themselves. Here are some good quotes:</FONT></SPAN></DIV><SPAN
class=133421804-24032006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT>
<DIV><BR><!--This [video footage from the movie Babe] is the way Americans want to think of pigs.  Real-life "Babes" see no sun in their limited lives, with no hay to lie on, no mud to roll in.  The sows live in tiny cages, so narrow they can't even turn around.  They live over metal grates, and their waste is pushed through slats beneath them and flushed into huge pits.  ~Morley Safer, "Pork Power," <i>60 Minutes</i>, 19 September 1997<BR>
<BR>
<BR>--><FONT face=Georgia>"Thou shalt not kill" does not apply to murder of
one's own kind only, but to all living beings; and this Commandment was
inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai.
~Leo Tolstoy</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia>To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than
that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb
for the sake of the human body. ~Mahatma Gandhi</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=133421804-24032006><FONT face=Georgia>Truely man is the king of
beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of
others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the
use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder
of animals as they now look on the murder of men. ~Leonardo da
Vinci<BR><BR><BR>I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human
race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the
savage tribes have left off eating each other...<!-- when they came in contact with the more civilized-->. ~Henry

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">WILLIAMS: Paul, I've said to you, you also have
to look, there are 6 million white tail deer that are being killed in America.
There are 200 million cows that are being slaughtered... <BR><BR>P. MCCARTNEY:
Yes, but you're getting off the issue. <BR><BR>H. MCCARTNEY: You keep going
off it. <BR><BR>P. MCCARTNEY: We're here to talk about the seal hunt.
<BR><BR>WILLIAMS: There are 2 billion chickens that are being slaughtered. Why
is the fuzzy seal photo-op the important one? Why aren't you down in a
slaughter house where cows are being killed or calves are being killed or
lambs are being killed or chickens are being killed? <BR><BR>H. MCCARTNEY:
Think about it. OK. Let's forget that you don't care about the humanity.
<BR><BR>WILLIAMS: It's quite obvious...<BR><BR>KING: One at a time.
<BR><BR>WILLIAMS: It's the easy photo-op where you can get the best picture,
so, you know, it's obviously that... <BR><BR>KING: Danny, let her speak.
<BR><BR>H. MCCARTNEY: How can your accountants not look at a 129 million lost
in snow crab exports to America. One hundred and twenty-nine million lost snow
crab exports to America. Sixteen million is the lost... <BR><BR>WILLIAMS:
<STRONG>Heather, if you and Paul have your way -- if you and Paul take your
argument to where you want to go with it, the Red Lobsters will close, the
McDonald's will close, the restaurants will close because they all sell beef
or poultry.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Basically they are telling the public that if
you support the McCartneys and others against the seal hunt, they will make
you all go on a salad diet. Which from our side sounds fine... people should
say no to killing seals and then they should come to understand that if they
are against clubbing seals, maybe they should also be against slaughter
houses. But enough people are going to say "well, I like meat, so I have to
support the hunt."</FONT></DIV>

hypocrite, and if you DO care about farm animals, well.. you're an
