I'd rather go naked than wear fur!

Heya

Ok so I've been trying to postpone this discussion as it's a bit of a hard core one.

When we were in the cave man days we obviously needed to keep warm and in order to do that we needed Fur as one of our winter woolies, however people have forgotten that now in this day in age we have so many other resources and that wearing fur is just a status symble now. We don't have to wear fur to keep warm any  more and in all fairness, we are not killing the animals ourselves we leaving other people to do it for us.

Now the Chinese are big on fur, in fact they produce a huge amount for the fur industry. They also mass produce it. Now you may think that they are taking fluffy wild animals and skinning them, but the truth is that they take rabbits, foxes, raccoons etc..even dogs, stax of dogs!.

Some of them just like your pooch at home :

The concerning part is THEY DO IT WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!...so  they peel of there skin while they still kicking to get free...imaging your skin being cut and peeled of you! They die once there skins off cause they cant take the pain, it's very sick...

Don't believe me? Watch this video: http://features.peta.org/ChineseFurFarms/index.asp

And be brave and look at these pic's..what they are doing is real! It's very very true!

This is some dogs waiting to be skinned.

They fight  not to die, but we are their only voice!

But they don't stand a chance!

They do it even when they are still alive!Imagine you going through that?

After they have their skin...if they are still alive they kill them, maybe by standing on your head or by picking them up and banging their heads against the floor.Any way they want because there is no law stopping them!

It's not pretty seeing the after effect!

But there are people out there that are trying to make a difference...in fact they are petitioning and are advertising about it.

Here's one example:

And there is a cool thing by PETA...the campaign is called : I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur!

Here's some of their campaign pics of celeb's supporting the cause!

     

Every one is trying...Think of what you can do!







Here's a weird question...Would you take off your clothes for this cause?


If you don't think so look at the pictures at the top...how could you not?

Well that's my Friday morning post.

Have a fab day

Sending a huge amount of happiness your way.

Catch up and Get up!

Well i decided to follow up all the bits of things i said I'd let you know from my other posts...So if you haven't read my other posts, not only have you already missed out but now you'll be totally lost, you know how you can miss a soap opera for a couple of weeks and then switch it on once and you can totally catch up and feel like you didn't miss a thing...yup well its not like that, you actually have to read the other posts! And why the hell not? Your on this blog to be aware of stuff aren't you?

Right lets play 'don't loose your memory' game...

At a point animal rights Africa was found by little old me and i said that i gave them a call to ask if i could get active and play a part and help in there activism...well this is me not being surprised...they didn't call back! I left 2 messages and not one single bladdy call from them!

Why on earth would you not want volunteers? They come with passion and time and no payment? So if they don't want to get back to me....well then I'll just start my own activist group! Stinky people! I know it's damn hard but I'm sure somewhere along the line someone will stand by me and join in and then we can be WAY MORE PASSIONATE then poopy animal rights Africa!

So bring it on :)

*Lady's only *......remember i told you about the toxic tampons and pads? Well initially i found them at http://www.faithful-to-nature.com/ but when i went shopping for butter at Greenlands in Parkhurst, they had them there! Yup so they have them there...i think the non applicator tampons for a box of 10 was R35...i think, i could be mistaken. This is the place:

9 4th Ave

Parkhurst
Mon – Frid 8.30 – 17.30
Sat 9.00 – 14.00
www.greenlandswholefoods.co.za
T: 011 880 9044

And this is what you are looking for:

OK so i believe i still owe you guys a Back - and - Forth email between me an the Distribution's Manager

of Trudon (the peeps that make and hand out the telephone books),well it's somewhere at home and i promise I'll get it and scan it and then you guys can see that sometimes complaining and nagging gets you somewhere :)

Check this sign out on your telephone book :)




Now with in this 'Be Green' thing i was hassling my complex into recycling...well I'm still hassling, in fact I'm now threatening that if they don't hurry up and change it soon, I'm going to start going around to each persons apartment and making them sign a petition...i don't quite think people understand me...ill let you guys in on it...I NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP.....NEVER! I'm like a bulldog...when i bite, the only way to get me off is to stick your finger up my butt! Hehe

I eventually got Alicia's book! I must say I'm quite surprised at the postal service this time round. Usually my letters and stuff get to me late and sometimes not at all. So i don't really trust them....it's not very nice of me i know but hey you got to be a little weary.
The book is great...I'm going to buy the ingredients for the cupcakes this weekend and if i have time I'll definatly bake them, you know how much i love to bake!

Talking about Baking...remember i found that recipe for Vegan butter...well i did better than that! I FOUND BUTTER!!! WOOHOO, that's a huge relief for a baker! Turns out there are stax of Vegan butters out there and better yet they are available in Joburg...we bought Ghee and once we're done we going on a butter tasting route through Vegan butter land!
OMG!!So i just went to go and check out how to spell Ghee and it came up as MILK PRODUCT....so I'm going to have to go back and exchange it, arg! You see this is why i am here...i can make the mistakes for you!

N.B. GHEE = MILK PRODUCT

You know,buying organic anti-cruelty vegan products is a nightmare, so these hiccups happen once and awhile. Like Mrs Balls Chutney - No egg, no meat, no dairy, so perfect right? NOPE...it's made by Unilever ( one of the company's that test on animals ) I mean Really! Can't a activist get a break?

Update : the Vegan society that was going to give me that video 'Behind the Mask' well they've given me the address to go and pic it up...it's only i copy but i don't mind! So finally I'm going to get to watch it this Saturday. YAY...things are really working out.

Oh damn before i go i must tell you about this tofu i had..mmmmm....ok so i lived in china for a year in 2007 when i was there i saw horrific things when it came to animals...and when i say horrific i really mean horrific!

In grocery stores..like supermarkets you'd get this:

This is a pigs face that has been dosed in salt.

and when you order a piece of chicken you also get this with the meal naturally positioned as if it were a real chicken sitting on your plate:

Yup that's the daily life there.

So when i was there i was a vegetarian ( thank god ) and i decided to try out some Tofu...it stinks when they cook it on the streets and when i tried it, YUK was my first expression once i had had  a bite.

Then came my handsome boy who cut some plain Tofu very finely in slices (that's the trick ) and then spiced them up with whatever spices we had...mmmm...it was SO DEVINE, i could just eat it like that as a snack. It did need a dip but I'll work on that...so simple it's made me decide that:

Any who froggie's and froglets...I've gotta go...works nearly over and I'm going out tonight ( very rare but true!)

So i have to love and leave you....

Night Night
