I am going to post all my animal rights letters to ( Suvine.com )from now on. Here is one last one I did today Dear IAMS Have you guys completely sold out ??? I just saw this: http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=iams This video, is this for real? Feeding dogs lethal food? Cutting CHUNKS from their thighs? What have you guys turned into? HELLO WAKE UP AND SEE WHAT OTHERS SEE YOU HAVE DONE! You guys, if you are in the animal business you have to question these practices. It's like junior mad scientist! These are animals!!! This is very scary to me, I love dogs. These dogs love you and need your protection. I will not buy Iams products until you end all laboratory tests on animals, and I will encourage my friends and family to do the same. /

I wrote MORNINGSTAR

Suvine — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 19:20:29 GMT

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.

To Senator Mel

Senator Mel Martinez United States Senate 317 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510-0001 PLEASE SUPPORT THE AMERICAN HORSE SLAUGHTER PREVENTION ACT. I read this and I was like , that is disgusting!!! http://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.

Wrote letter to editor of Chicago Reader

Suvine — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 03:57:36 GMT

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.

Wrote a letter to the Secretary of Defense

Suvine — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 19:07:44 GMT

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. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6445f9fdd7. 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.

Wrote a letter to Petsmart Customer Service

Suvine — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 04:38:14 GMT

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. http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=petsmart 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 wrote to the editor of newspaper

Suvine — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 23:12:52 GMT

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 wrote today to the FDA

Suvine — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 22:15:17 GMT

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 SUVINE

FAST FOOD NATION MOVIE

Wrote letter to Cartier, the jewelry people.

Suvine — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 20:20:41 GMT

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

3 emails about horse slaughters in the USA for consumption in foreign countries

Suvine — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 18:29:34 GMT

Senator Mel Martinez United States Senate 317 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510-0001 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

Iceland Horses

Suvine — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 01:31:18 GMT

I am in Reykjavik, Iceland right now. I photographed Icelandic horses, a very special breed. They have a unique walk..are "viking horses" but look bigger than ponies..they have been so inbred. They have 5 different gaits. I took the photo I posted here at ISHETAR I found my letter to Miami New Times published, here is link http://www.miaminewtimes.com/Issues/2006-07-20/news/letters.html I have been getting awesome emails from DAWNWATCH.com about animal rights

letter to editor miami herald

Suvine — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 16:21:26 GMT

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/opinion/15045314.htm 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.

Letter to Editor of NY TIMES

Suvine — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 00:13:45 GMT

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.

Miami new times letter to the editor

Suvine — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 14:15:37 GMT

I wrote to The Miami New times, They had this article 6 pages online here: http://www.miaminewtimes.com/Issues/2006-07-13/news/feature.html 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.

Wrote letter to editor LAbeat

Suvine — Thu, 13 Jul 2006 22:48:13 GMT

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!

Wrote to FDA about animal experimenters who torture monkeys with drugs

Suvine — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 22:10:27 GMT

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!

I want to go to this

WROTE LETTER TO EDITOR to ST. Louis Post Dispatch To: letters@post-dispatch.com Date: May 22, 2006 7:33 AM Subject: "Herd is part of debate on captive elephants" Thank you so much for writing your story on the elephants. I cannot believe that after so many ( 40 this year) dying in zoos, euthanized for having injuries like foot problems and arthritus, and also going crazy having repeated rocking motions obvious to all, that they are still allowed to be captive for show. Are not there alternatives to this entertainment? People do not like to see suffering, do you? I am pleased that your paper ran an article to spotlight this, bringing attention to people. We can put these elephants in sanctuaries where they can socialize and have plenty room to roam. We can stop elephants form being taken from their homes and kept as workers in a show.

The bill I wrote about yesterday , about banning wild horses being sent away to other countries with tax money to be slaughtered for food , was passed! So I wrote another one to permanently ban US horse slaughter altogether. to: Senator Bill Nelson Web Senator Mel Martinez Please stop the slaughter of horses. Americans do not eat horses. That is so disgusting, I am sorry. Please, protect these animals and support S. 1915, which, together with H.R. 503, comprises the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. Vote Yes on S. 1915. ___________ I wrote to Jeb Bush about a 31000 gift he gave to Pensacola greyhound track for hurricane damages: CoconutCream to jeb.bush To: jeb.bush@myflorida.com Date: May 19, 2006 2:11 PM Subject: pensacola greyhound track Please do not give money to the dog racing industry anymore...not even to pay for hurricane damage. It is a seedy business and is very cruel to animals. There are other alternatives to these business that don't involve the slavery of live creatures. ---- Read all about Puppy mills today: http://www.prisonersofgreed.org/ http://www.atourhands.com/pupmills.html They are kept in cages all their lives just to breed and are dirty sick and crazy. and I missed a protest March 11 against WIZARD of CLAWS in Pembroke pines Fl near me. I emailed for the next protest. http://www.prisonersofgreed.org/Images/Mercy.jpg

Suvine — Thu, 18 May 2006 11:22:58 GMT

------ Wrote an email to Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart: I live in Florida and if I was told I had to leave my chihuahua, my life, behind, in a hurricane emergency do you think I would? NO would be the answer and I would have to stay and protect my dog and myself and possibly die if a hurricane came to Miami. Many people refused to evacuate their homes before, during and after Hurricane Katrina because federal rescue workers were not mandated to allow guardians to bring their animals with them on buses going to crisis centers. This unfortunate policy cost the lives of thousands of animal companions and perhaps more than a few loyal people who refused to leave their animals behind even when their own lives were endangered. The PETS Act will address this and save the lives of many animals and humans in the next large-scale disaster. I urge you to please protect the safety of American citizens and their beloved animals by supporting this important bill. ---------------- Wrote another email to Diaz-Balart supporting H.R. 503, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, : Horses are so beautiful! Who would want to eat them! People in other countries? So why do we have to pay for the murder of these beautiful animals..aren't cows enough? It is an outrage that we are helping to pay for the slaughter of wild horses in our own country with our hard-earned tax dollars so that a few foreign-owned businesses operating on U.S. soil can turn a profit. Clearly, the U.S. government is failing to carry out the will and interests of the American people in this case. Justice demands that our elected officials take decisive action to rectify this situation. Americans don't even eat horse meat because we cherish these beautiful animals, so the overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens oppose horse slaughter altogether. That is why, in addition to supporting the Rahall Amendment, I also urge you to co-sponsor H.R. 503, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, which would prohibit altogether the slaughter of horses in the U.S. for human consumption. ---- Sent this letter to the Christian science Monitor Letter to editor: Thank you so much for the article you printed on Elephants and how they endure terrible things in zoos and circuses...and the relief they find in elephant sanctuaries. Without these sanctuaries these animal would succumb to sure death in pain, paralyzation, madness and arthritus. Articles like this shine light on how things are for them and give them chance to heal and have a little social life in these great places for them. //// look Battery hens given homes: http://www.thehenshouse.co.uk/index.html //// Sent a pre written message to Attorney General to prosecute kids that tortured a pit bull to death. http://ga0.org/campaign/ShermanHS/forward ////
