Happy New Year!

May 2015 see every stumbling block turned into a stepping stone on the path forward. Trig just reminded me. He, determined to help wash dishes with an oblivious mama not acknowledging his signs for "up!", found me and a lazy dog blocking his way. He made his stepping stone.

PETA then had a fit

A photo of Sarah Palin's young son standing on a dog to reach the kitchen sink is drawing sharp reaction.

The image of 6-year-old Trig, presumably preparing to wash dishes, and the reclining and seemingly relaxed black Lab-type animal is posted on the former Alaska governor's Facebook page.

" May 2015 see every stumbling block turned into a stepping stone on the path forward. Trig just reminded me. He, determined to help wash dishes with an oblivious mama not acknowledging his signs for "up!", foue and a lazy dog blocking his way. He made his stepping stone," she wrote.

The online response to the one-time Republican vice presidential nominee's New Year's Day post was fast and at times furious.

There were nearly 70,000 responses liking the photo along with a wide variety of comment.

Some blamed Palin, her politics, or called it animal mistreatment. Others offered her support and said the dog would have moved if it had been hurt.

The president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals commented Saturday, the Oregonian reports.nd m

"PETA simply believes that people shouldn't step on dogs, and judging by the reaction that we've seen to Sarah Palin's Instagram photo, we're far from alone in that belief," Ingrid Newkirk said.

Palin responded: "Dear PETA, Chill. At least Trig didn't eat the dog."

Hidden halal: Pizza Express

There is absolutely no way I want to eat animals that have died slowly and in agony in the name of religion.

Because I don’t respect ANY religion enough to have people or animals suffer for it.

Nor do I want to live in a society that donates millions to save dehydrated donkeys in Africa yet thinks it’s OK to slit the throats of terrified creatures here.

And I didn’t think I did. Until this week when it was revealed that Pizza Express, along with scores of restaurants and most of our ­supermarkets, is selling halal meat, too much of which comes from animals that have their throats cut while fully conscious and are then left to die.

And it’s happening on the basis of a lie – because nowhere in the Koran does it say animals have to be slaughtered in this way. No Muslim is bound by his or her religion to eat halal meat.

In fact, the Koran clearly says Muslims should be considerate to ALL God’s creations, which includes animals.

It also says that while the blood must be drained from the body it doesn’t have to happen while the animal is alive.

Insistence on that comes from fundamentalists and a source called Hadith – teachings written 300 years after the Prophet died which are often used to justify hardline views. And confusion about these teachings is being exploited to mislead both Muslims and non-Muslims.

It’s no secret now that in Britain you can justify any barbarism, any degradation in the name of culture or religion – female genital ­mutilation, the ­subjugation of women, and now this shameful treatment of animals.To be clear here, I’m not angry just because ­supermarkets haven’t been up front about the fact they’re selling halal meat. I’m furious, appalled and disgusted that animals are still being killed inhumanely in a country that’s supposed to care about them.

And I don’t care that about 85 per cent of halal meat IS stunned – 15 per cent isn’t and that’s 15 per cent too many. And yes, the Jewish faith forbids the stunning of any animal before slaughter. Which is also cruel.

But let’s take religion out of the equation for a minute. As an enlightened society we cannot and must not allow the needless suffering of animals. The Brits have a heritage of animal welfare. We’re overrun with animal charities, so why hasn’t the Government condemned this barbaric practice?

And when Pizza Express insist halal isn’t cruel because the animals are stunned first – how can they be sure of that?

Do they have inspectors on site? I doubt it. Nor do I believe the statistics about how few are stunned. Not when there’s money and profit involved.

I’m not soppy about animals. I eat and enjoy meat. But I eat it expecting the animal to have been killed humanely.

And if the laws of this country say you can go to jail for starving a horse or a dog, then why not for slitting a ­chicken’s throat and watching for 10 LONG SECONDS as it dies?

And if cruelty to animals is illegal, why are there nearly 90 halal ­slaughterhouses here where this torment can be inflicted on animals in the name of ­religion?

Why have we become a country that’s afraid to fight for its own customs and beliefs for fear of offending the beliefs (in this case erroneously) of others?

I’ve heard the word “Islamophobia” levelled at people upset by the halal revelations. But this is NOT about Islamophobia – it’s about animal cruelty, pure and simple.

And any attempt to make it about religious prejudice is cynical opportunism.

Just imagine what those slaughterhouses are like, the terror of those creatures as they wait for their turn.

Which is why vets say killing the halal way can be cruel. As does the RSPCA and the Humane Slaughter Association.

And why, when so many other countries have banned ritual slaughter, is it still happening here?

I don’t want to eat meat if the animal has suffered. And I suspect most people – including many British Muslims – don’t either.

It’s time the Government showed some guts and made sure we don’t have to.

EXCLUSIVE: Evidence of BLM’s Deadly Abuse of Animals Taken from Bundy Ranch

APRIL 16, 2014 BY 21WIRE 194 COMMENTS

SPECIAL REPORT
21st Century Wire

The US federal government might have just evoked the fury of animal right groups over their shocking treatment of cattle at the Bundy Ranch, and may soon face legal charges of severe animal abuse in Clark County, Nevada.

Federal agency’s treatment of residents at the Bundy Ranch this past week included tasering, beating, wrongful arrest, threatening residents with attack dogs, and mobilizing a federal paramilitary force whose barrels were trained on US citizens, all in all, spending at least $3 million of tax payer money in an effort to sell stolen cattle over state lines in Utah and California. A legal argument has also been made that the US Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is now guilty of racketeering under the federal RIC) statute (Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organizations). If all that wasn’t enough, evidence is now emerging regarding pattern of extreme cruelty and abuse, and suspected culling of animals from the Bundy Ranch.

Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore has released new shocking information and images which document the horrors which BLM agents have inflicted on previously happy and healthy livestock.

During a live radio broadcast of The Pete Santilli Show on GNM, Fiore reveals new details of “the BLM’s method of herding where they have slaughtered horses and cows. This time we have video of it, and pictures of it.”

“I did post the first picture of one cow who was shot in the back of the head from a helicopter (photo above).”

“I personally helped save a calf who still had an umbilical cord attached to her as she was separated from her mom (see photo via Twitter below). It is such a disgusting event (…)… they (BLM) don’t herd cattle – they slaughter cattle”, said Fiore.



According to the Bundy family, in total, 27 baby calves have been rescued thus far, but farmers are still having trouble matching them up with their mothers.

‘Abusively corralled’

“If you look at the stewardship of land, and herding of cattle, first of all these particular cattle that were grazing on 600,000 acres – understand that when the Bundy family would herd their own cattle, there would be water taps to where the cattle would go down to the water and herd them humbly and softly – no cruelty, no abuse, herding them to where the cattle could get injured”.

“We now have an evidenced-based argument now with how the BLM cannot take care of that cattle. We have cows giving birth (in the federal pen) where baby calves have been stepped on and killed.”

“This is the BLM’s practice. They herd animals with helicopters, ATV’s, and shotguns… If any cows get out of line – they get a bullet in the back of the head”.

“Make sure the BLM are off state land and make sure the BLM are not allowed to herd cattle again”.

Mass graves

“Near their compound, right off the highway, they were digging holes (…)… They tried to bury some cows on the compound, but I guess they didn’t dig the hole deep enough, so throw a cow in and they dirt over him and you have cows legs cows’ legs sticking up out of the dirt”.

Earlier this week GMN revealed a secret recording of the BLM Special Agent in Charge, Daniel P. Love (photo, left), who had stated that the BLM have not killed any cattle. Fiore’s reply to Love’s claim:

“He’s a flat out liar, period.”

It was confirmed by ranchers and observers last week of how the BLM and their “contract cowboy” had deployed aggressive practices whilst rustling the Bundy’s herd, using tactical helicopters (image, below) forcing cattle to removal zones, often times driving cows uphill in 90F heat – a lethal practice known to cause tremendous stress and exhaustion to the animals, causing sickness and even premature death.


Last week, farmers suspected that BLM agents were also scooping up the dead animals with heavy equipment like Backhoe diggers, and either burying carcasses somewhere on the 600,000 acre public grazing land, or disposing of them somewhere off site.

In addition, reports by observers confirmed that spring heifers who were subject to abusive BLM tactics were forced to abandon some calves behind to hide in the desert bush (a common practice by mothers who are being rustled, who later can backtrack to retrieve their young) putting the calves at risk of death.

Critics now believe the BLM and Clark County Sheriff’s Office could be facing a strong legal challenge for their reckless handling of the ill-fated operation underlined by a litany of both human and animal rights abuses.
