Please stop using eggs from battery caged hens. I support Morningstar completely because you guys make vegetarian foods mainstream.

You do not want to endorse cruelty out of the INTEGRITY of your company. Battery caged chickens live in cages so small they cannot move all their lives, in disease and filth, and have beaks cut off and are insane.

I mean the people who work for you now, know it, the public knows it, but you are all hiding the fact that you are supporting cruelty and it will affect how people see you and your workers feel about working for you!

You cannot suppress this, it is in the open.

Please send this letter to who ever is in charge whoever reads this.

Thank you

Gardenburger last year took all eggs out of their products last year, they must feel a lot better and are able to know for sure they are a real humane healthy company.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE AMERICAN HORSE SLAUGHTER PREVENTION ACT.

I read this and I was like , that is disgusting!!!
www.hsus.org/mexico_horse_slaughter

I hope that Congress will act quickly to finally end the
terribly inhumane practice of horse slaughter. PLEASE make sure
our horses are never again killed for French and Belgian people
to EAT. That is where we should draw the line. Horses and
beautiful creatures.

I read the article " Foie fight" and I was very impressed.

Just last night I was in a very nice "Nouvelle Cuisine" restaurant and I overheard a blonde woman at a table speaking to the manager about how cruel foie gras is. I thought that was very cool of her to do that.

Now I read this article. It makes sense. I have seen undercover videos of rats nibbling the backs of ducks. I do not see why someone who works for animal rights would stage this, but I can see a man lying to protect his company. Rats live alongside those ducks. There are ducks who cannot walk. Rats are nature's housecleaners.

I know lawsuits are no fun, but there is a good reason for all this. There is good evidence and proof these animals are treated INHUMANELY.

I have been told this is not the way all ducks in Foie Gras factories are treated this badly at all.

People can't hide behind cruelty. Karma rewards the good. This company better make changes, or else the animal activists will eventually cause them to lose their business.

I saw this video and could barely watch it. Our soldiers are flinging rocks at a crippled dog and then laughing as the dog yelps in pain.

This is abominable. I am so upset over this. I am sure you or someone you know has a pet dog. Imagine that this animal is them. What would you say to these soldiers?

Ok, soldiers are animals too..but these soldiers are people, with consciences. Mature men representing our country.

What if this were a woman wounded? Would you allow them to act like this? People who are cruel to animals usually grow to be cruel and sadistic on humans as well.

Dear Petsmart:

I am an animal lover. I have had Chihuahuas, Rats and adopted some cats from you.

I have seen this undercover video Peta put out and it really made me feel ashamed. Ashamed I ever used to do all my pet shopping at Petsmart.

www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp

When you are selling LIFE, there is a resposibility. We live in a country where care, of our pets, is very important. We see our pets and one of us. We have laws to protect them.

Please, please stop selling animals and just sell pet supplies. At least try to make a profound change in the way these animals are cared for.

Animal rights activists are a force to be reckoned with. We will continue to ask for changes until animals are happy and safe. We do this because noone wants to live like that. Animals are like people, just in animal bodies.

I will not be shopping at PetSmart until live-animal sales are a thing of the past, and I am telling all my friends and family to do the same.

I am writing about your article "Lawsuit aims to stop wild turkey hunt on California island"

First of all, you don't see people killing people because they are unwanted animals?

I don't believe in any excuse to kill these wild turkeys, oh well, scientists say they hurt the habitat of wild foxes.

What about HUMANS? We hurt the habitat of just about all animals and we twist and pervert them to accomodate us on earth.

We must leave them alone..or find other humane ways to move them somewhere else, (as if they had no rights to live there)..

Animal rights activists are not happy campers on this. We are not for the animals per se but against cruelty. This is cruel.

I strongly support the petition requesting regulation of egg carton labeling (Docket # 2006P - 0394: Change Labeling Requirements for Eggs Sold in the U.S.). I think the people buying eggs would like to know what they are buying. I think if this is done, conditions to change the way these poor animals are raised and treated will be widespread and positive. It is very important to have good small deeds on our karma in our lifetimes, this is a good move in the right direction. It will happen sooner or later anyways. Thank you

Withdraw Sponsorship of Cruel Elephant Polo Games
Cartier
Mme. Christine Borgoltz
I find it appalling that Cartier is sponsoring , paying for a game of elephant polo in the city of Jaipur, India.

Elephants who take part in these games do not do so voluntarily, but are forced to . Please cancel this event. This is not something which they will be proud of, it is not glamourous. therse days elephants in zoos are getting stories in the news because of the deaths so attention here would be negative.. Thank you SUVINE

Dear Senator Martinez,

Also same letter to Representative Mario Diaz-Balart
U.S. House of Representatives
313 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515-0001

Dear Representative Diaz-Balart,

and..Senator Bill Nelson
U.S. Senate
716 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510-0001

Dear Senator Nelson,


If you have not already, please cosponsor H.R. 503/S. 1915 and
vote for this bill to end horse slaughter when it comes to the
floor.

Please support Reps. Sweeney, Spratt, Whitfield, and Rahall in
the House and Sens. Ensign and Landrieu in the Senate when they
go to the floor and ask for your vote on this legislation. As
your constituent who cares about horses, I want to see our
horses protected from the abuses inherent in the slaughter
process. Also, I would like to believe that when the people
speak out and Congress takes action, their will is not ignored
and our democracy functions as it should.

Congress has now passed several amendments by overwhelming and
bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate to shut down
horse slaughter for human consumption. The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has refused to implement a ban.

We must pass a permanent ban on the slaughter of American horses
for foreign export. I am asking for your immediate help in
passing H.R. 503/S. 1915.

Please, I love Horses so much and would hate to think that we
are killing them in our own country to send out to other
countries who eat them.

Sincerely

S

I responded with :

Thank you for your article ETHICS OF EATING!

I am also aware that many restaurants have toy machines where you can manipulate a joystick to pick your live lobster for dinner. This is barabric and teaches kids that cruelty to animals is a game.

When you eat an animal, you also eat the fear and pain.

In the case of foie gras, you are eating a diseased liver and a lifetime of suffering. These ducks cannot hold their heads up after feeding and rats eat at their backsides and they cannot get up to fight them off.

Are we not humans, do we know right from wrong?

Tthe law of the universe is karma, that is something we need to think hard on.

I read Jane Goodall's interview.
I am really impressed, thank you for publishing such a great interview!
Chimpanzees are really beautiful. I hate what they do to monkeys in labs, in the name of science, with the excuse that it saves human lives. A monkey is not a person, we dont have the same skeleton, chemistry, blood, nothing.

I agree with her completely.
Testing is not necessary.

I wrote to The Miami New times, They had this article 6 pages online here:

my letter:

Congratulations on your article "Foie Wars!" by Lee Klein

I am so very happy to see my newspaper write something with a heart, as usual for you guys!!

I have emailed many Miami chefs asking them to take foie gras off the menu I have sent them video of undercover footage in those farms. I have surprisingly gotten back many positive responses .

When we eat something we take in much more than just matter. We eat energy and vibrations.We take in a lifetime of unbearable pain and suffering when we eat a dish like foie gras. We take it in unconsciously. Our karma is a little off.

We are all responsible for these ducks' suffering if we eat foie gras..and most people when they read your article will think about what they are choosing and try to do better as far as choice.

I read your article , " That's entertainment" , and it was very sad news to me. A very powerful article speaking out for one beautiful elephant who had to suffer very much in a zoo kept alive with all these antibiotics and died splayed out. I remember writing myself months ago to send Gita away to a sanctuary.

I think the article made the point clear that elephants were not meant to be in a cage because of the toxins built up when there is no blood flow to the legs.

Also they are social herd animals and travel miles each day in the wild.

We just can't keep elephants like we keep dogs and cats.

Actually anyone's life is better outside a cage...

They are fed who knows what and given poisons they never had before called medicines made for and created by people, who really don't know anything about anything about elepahnts.

I felt very moved and am thanking the author, Perry Crowe!

To: Andrew C. von Eschenbach


I understand that the argument is that to torture these animals in the name of science we are doing good to mankind...as far as what we are learning etc..

I have to ask to think about that one. All animals , as we are, feel pain, suffering and depression.
When we are the perpetrators of this, we have a responsibility, each one of us, to choose.

Are we going to continue this, just because it is our job, or just because it is where the money is..( all money that comes from this is cursed..)or because we don't want to think about it..

It's all about Karma, and karma can take many years to be fixed..it's important we do good to right this wrong..immediately..

our choices will be so powerful and change so many..like the butterfly effect. Good will be done.

These animals do not deserve this, this is cruel and inhumane.

I wrote to L.a. Times :


I just read about the Elephant Gita's death.
I am writing to urge everybody to act and make a decision to send the remaining two elephants in the L.A. Zoo to a elephant sanctuary.
Elephants are not made to be in cages. They travel long distances, are social and need to move their feet. I have been aware of many cases, including Gita , who suffer from arthritus and have knee and foot surgeries. I have seen elephants look very unhappy, even pacing.
The remaining two will surely suffer the same fate and probably wind up being euthanized even as so many are.
No, we do not live in Asia and Africa where we could see these animals but we can see them on tv in their natural homes being elephants!
