PERSISTANCE

Happy Meat Free Monday folks :)
I hope you are all getting out your veggies and Fry's nuggets out for dinner tonight...

So i went to the Fur Free S.A Demo at Hyde Park this Saturday...it was a great success and not only were people painted in red with fur and that people were in cages - but fliers were handed out by Jeremy Mansfield, YAY celeb power for a good cause!

It was fun but very hot, thank goodness for Kate and her well prepared batch of sun block, phew! I also got time to hang out with Lucy Elizabeth ( Sarah's dog) she's soooo soft!

Plus i saw Chantelle all painted in red, they all looked good.

So that's the catch up there...

On another note, i hope you are all still staying away from products that are tested on animals, it's a life choice that is on going and a reminder is always a help, so stay clear of all the yucky tested on animal goods, say NO to ANIMAL TESTING.

Now from the weird side...has anybody realized how many clothing brands use animals as their names? Why are people drawn to buying things that are named after animals yet feel no shame in abusing them? Weird right...so lets have a look at the names -

PEPPA PIG -

AMERICAN PIG -

OWL VS PIG -

MONOKU RO BOO -

THE SKINNY COW -

PURPLE COW -

FUNKY FISH -

HELLO KITTY -

My theory is because it's cute...yet no one wants to rub a real pigs tummy! So since animals are cool to most kids and people don't mind buying things from a company that is named after an animal my question is -

WHERE DID THE CRUELTY IDEA START?

Does anyone know? Because Matthew says that in order to solve a problem you have to find the problem, not find a solution....now we as animal activists know so many ways on how to tell, express and show people about the problems out there and we are even powerful enough to create associations and protests...but yet we are just SLOWLY getting there....how do we get faster?

Animal activism started before we even knew it - biblical storys tell you to respect all of god's creatures and within the Greek mythology there are god's who are very strict on not harming animals, plus in 1824 the first form of real action taken from an animal rights group started. We all know that the caring exists and it has been there for a very very long time but the question is when did the cruelty start?

Who said that harming animals is ok? Using them for entertainment, testing on them, hell the list could go on forever....but who said this was ok? Who was the sole person to start it?

When we find the linear effect - here's a small note.

WE WILL STAND OUR GROUND, WE WONT EVER GIVE UP, SO INSTEAD OF MAKING YOUR LIFE DIFFICULT, GIVE UP NOW CAUSE WE CAN GO ON FOREVER, THIS IS OUR PASSION AND PASSION CANNOT BE SUBSIDED, IT CAN ONLY GROW AND AT THIS POINT AND WITH THIS MUCH STRUGGLE BELIEVE ME I HAVE SEEN THE FACES THAT HAVE 'PERSIST' WRITTEN ON THEM...WE ARE GROWING IN NUMBERS EVERYDAY AND SOON WHEN THE WORLD AGREES WITH US, YOU WILL BE DEMOLISHED...YOUR WORK WILL HAVE TO COME TO A FULL FAST STOP AND WHEN IT DOES YOU WILL BE PUNISHED AND WHEN WE SEE YOUR FACES YOU WILL HAVE 'DEFEATED' WRITTEN ON THEM. BE WARNED - WE'RE COMING!

Have a wonderful evening and remember - Needles hurt them too, so say no to animal testing!

Kindness and Hope
