Think Before You Pink!

itsasecrettoeverybody:


Pink ribbons…they’re everywhere: tee-shirts, hats, yogurt cups, KFC buckets, car ads, NFL stadiums…the list goes on and on. They make us feel good, as if we’re all engaged in a successful battle against breast cancer.

But who is really benefiting? After all, more and more women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. Maybe it’s the companies who wrap their products in pink to gain our admiration (and money)… and wouldn’t it be something if some of the very companies that profit from their pink marketing campaigns have actually contributed to the breast cancer epidemic by selling known carcinogens?

Pink Ribbons, Inc. goes inside the story to reveal those who have co-opted what marketing experts have labeled a “dream cause.”

Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are like us.” Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are not like us.” Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction. ~Charles R.

I think I’m going to try to live by ‘If you wouldn’t do it to a human, don’t do it to an animal’.

rachellori:

If you wouldn’t cut off part of a human’s ears to make it look nice, don’t do it to an animal.

If you wouldn’t snatch a human baby away from it’s mother’s breast and take the milk for yourself, don’t do it to an animal.

If you wouldn’t slap a saddle on a human and ride it around the woods, don’t do it to an animal.

If you wouldn’t buy a human from a store or breeder, don’t do it to an animal.

If you wouldn’t remove a human’s nails for your convenience, don’t do it to an animal.

If you wouldn’t cage an human for it’s entire life, only to slit it’s throat and then eat it, don’t do it to an animal.

If you wouldn’t wear pieces and parts of a human, don’t wear pieces and parts of an animal.

And so on and so forth.

Obviously there are exceptions. Spaying and neutering is important because of pet overpopulation (and honestly I would spay and neuter some people >.>), and I have to cage my ferret while I’m gone for his own safety (if he were to get out of the room my dogs could seriously injure/kill him). But overall I think it’s a good rule.

She gave birth to her baby and she loves her baby, just as you love your baby. Imagine the horror of being impregnated every year of your life, only to have each your babies ripped away from you, screaming, as they are taken to slaughter or placed into a life of brutal slavery, prior to being slaughtered. This is the reality for most mother cows in the industry, utilized as dairy-producing machines until they themselves, can no longer generate a significant amount of milk. They will then also, be sent to slaughter. To us, this sounds like hell and it is a hell created by humans.

Since male chicks are of no use to the egg industry, hatcheries kill them by methods such as throwing them away, suffocating them, and throwing them in grinders while they are still alive. This is just part of the cruelty that consuming eggs supports.

Stop clutching at straws.

vegan-because-fuck-you:

You can’t honestly compare this:

To this:

You can’t seriously say that this:

Is as bad as this:

If you think that this:

Is the same as this:

You are fucking insane.
