A Summary of the Devastation Caused by the Global Animal Slavery Industry.

1: The Devastation of the Earth’s Photosynthetic Capacity.

1.1: Deforestation.

The Animal enslavement industry is the biggest cause of deforestation .. "agriculture has been responsible for the conversion of most forests ..."[2]; "Animal agriculture in the US has resulted in extensive deforestation. A majority of our farmland is turned to pasture for grazing animals; another large section goes to growing feed that is only fed to cattle."[3]

Forests are the most important part of the Earth’s Photosynthetic capacity which, for the last 3-2 billion years has been the basis of the Earth’s climate stabilization system, the essence of the Earth’s life support system. Half of the Earth’s Forests have been razed since the end of the last ice age and most of this has been achieved by both the organic and modern pharming industries.[4]

1.2: Swamps, Marshes, Wetlands, Bogs, Hedges.

All over the world, in order to create to pastureland, pharmers have not merely chopped down Forests, they have cut down Hedges; drained Swamps, Marshes, Wetlands, Bogs, etc,  .. "maff has consistently used spurious cost-benefit analyses to justify the drainage of wet meadows and the reclamation of salt marshes."[5] They’ve installed drainage systems into every area liable to pose a threat to the grazing habits of the vast fat, bloated, cholesterol bags, called Cattle which would otherwise just sink into the mud.[6] Pharmers around the world are devastating the Earth’s Photosynthetic capacity.

2: The Macdonaldization of Biodiversity.

2.1: Landscape.

It used to be argued that every high street looked the same because it contained the same shops. The same is true of the brutish countryside - and probably that of most other countries in the over-industrialized world. Go into the brutish countryside and the all-pervasive feature is pastureland. Pastureland after pastureland after bloody pastureland. Half the country is used as pastureland. The countryside is virtually featureless because it’s been converted into pastureland. Pastureland is just another name for a green desert or countryside lawn.[7]

2.2: Wildlife.

The largest Wildlife to be found on brutish pastureland are Deer, Foxes, and Rabbits because, over the centuries, organic pharmers have slaughtered all the major forms of Wildlife that once used to roam the country. This centuries old habit of murdering everything around them persists even amongst today’s pharmers.[8] Pharmers continue to slaughter all Birds of prey; they slaughter Foxes; and they slaughter Badgers - for scientific purposes, you understand, like japanese whalers. They’d even shoot all the Fish in the river if they could do so - instead they suffocate or poison them by filling the waterways with live-stock manure and pesticides.

2.3: The Silence of the Damned.

During the foot and mouth epidemic, one of the funniest outpourings of grief from pharmers who’d just slaughtered their live-stock for the sake of a fat subsidy cheque, was the complaint about the silence that had descended on their pharms. Of course their pharms were silent - they’d murdered every wild Animal for miles around so what else did these morons expect but such a deathly silence?[9] They’d been doing this job for decades - hadn’t they realized they’d murdered everything that couldn’t be milked?

2.4: The Tourist Con Job.

The brutish tourist industry tries to attract tourists to brutland’s national parks. However, most of these parks are just collections of pharms so the only thing to see is pastureland.[10] In other words, the tourist industry encourages people to spend thousands of pounds, and travel thousands of miles, to see brutland’s extensive lawns which are virtually bereft of Flora or Fauna, "The uplands of britain, logged out for timber and fuel centuries ago, are sterile wastelands with acidic soils that only another glacial advance might restore."[11]

One wonders how much longer this ‘great brutish countryside con’ can persist without an american tourist taking the brutish government to court for making fundamentally misleading statements. If american/asian tourists stayed at home and sat in their living room with a paper bag over their head they’d have a better chance of seeing brutish Wildlife than they would in the brutish countryside. It has to be asked, what’s the point of flying all the way to brutland just in order to say, "Oh what a lovely bit of pastureland - it’s got subsidized Sheep. Oh look some more lovely bits of pastureland - it’s got subsidized Cows. Oh there’s more lovely pastureland - its got rare breed Sheep on it." Only a professor of ecology would be capable of identifying the different types of Grass and Insects that can be found on brutish pastureland. For anyone else it’s just like looking at a vast lawn. As a consequence it’s almost impossible for tourists to tell whether they’re in cumbria, the yorkshire dales, the highlands of scotland, or dartmoor, because all that exists in these ludicrous national car parks is bloody pastureland. The only way that tourists could know where they are is from their itinerary - ‘It’s thursday - it must be the yorkshire dales’.

The brutish countryside is as quiet and dead as a graveyard. In fact, even this analogy doesn’t do the reality justice because there’s a greater variety of Flora and Fauna in graveyards than there is on the country’s pastureland.

2.5: Pharmers are Desert Makers.

At least in brutland the land is covered by Grass. In many other countries, the Animal enslavement industry has been the prime cause of desertification.

Herodotus.

"Man stalks across the landscape and deserts follow in his footsteps."[12]

Garrett Hardin.

"Throughout history human exploitation of the earth has produced this progression; colonize - destroy - move on."[13]

3: Pollution.

The Animal slavery industry is one of the world’s biggest polluters.

3.1: Water Pollution.

The agriculture and Animal slavery industries spray onto the land vast quantities of fertilisers, pesticides, and Animal manure which contains traces of the legal, and illegal, antibiotics, hormones, and drugs, fed to slave Animals. This causes widespread pollution of streams, water courses, aquifers, rivers, and coastal regions. In the over-industrialized world, the pharming industry causes more water pollution than any other industry. In america, "According to the (US) Environmental Protection Agency, factory farming pollutes U.S. waterways more than all industrial sources combined." (Peta); "Today just 6% of u.s. river pollution originates with industry. 40%, the largest share, is from agriculture."[14]; "80% of the organic water pollution in our country (America) is caused by the live-stock industry."[15]; "Today municipal wastewater plants are the cause of some 38,000 miles of impaired rivers, approximately twice the number attributed to industry."[16]; "In 1996, U.S. factory farms produced 1.4 billion tons of animal waste - 130 times more than humans did. The waste, from pigs, turkeys, chickens, cows, etc., produced in a single year would fill 6.7 million train boxcars-enough to circle the Earth 12 times. Unfortunately, much of this waste ends up in our rivers and streams. The average pig farm produces more waste then a city of 12,000 people." (Peta); .. "nearly half a billion pounds of pesticides and four billion pounds of fertilizer are spread or sprayed onto farmers’ fields each year in the u.s. The figures are higher for western europe."[17] Around the world, "The world's farmers are spending about $25 billion a year on chemical pesticides.[18]

The Animal slavery industry causes a range of water pollution disasters: -

• toxic Alga which flourishes around the shores of virtually all countries around the world, "The run-off from the pig factories is so high in nutrients and so voluminous that in warm summers the entire Adriatic stinks of rotting algae and dead fish."[19]

• the sewage leaking into waterways and rivers flows into the sea and creates Photosynthetically dead zones, "The effects are often deadly. For example, runoff from animal waste is linked to a 7,000-square mile "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico that can no longer support aquatic life." (Peta); and,

• the dumping of sewage at sea also creates Photosynthetically dead zones.

When pharmer-induced floods occur, they flush out vast quantities of manure being stored by the Animal slavery industry. Some of this ends up flooding homes.

3.2: Soil Pollution.

Soils contain large quantities of pollutants from manure, "More than 10,000 tonnes of antibiotics are used in the european union each year, roughly half of which ends up in animals. Up to 50% of some drugs passes unchanged through our bodies and enters sewage systems or is poured onto the land in pharm waste, and may end up in rivers. Europe has no ceiling on the amount of drugs allowed into the soil. But veterinary authorities across the eu had said that any compound likely to accumulate at above 7.5 milligrams per hectare on a farm must undergo an environmental impact study. Now as a result of an agreement reached last year between veterinary regulators from the eu, us, and japan, who are members of a little known body called veterinary international co-operation on harmonization (vich) this threshold is to be raised tenfold to 75 grams per hectare."[20]

3.3: Atmospheric Pollution.

The Animal slavery industry contributes to a range of atmospheric pollution.

Acid Rain.

"A process takes place in these slurry lagoons .. The large amounts of ammonia in the slurry become a breeding ground for bacteria, which turns into acid. This then evaporates, combines with nitrous oxide from fertilisers and industrial pollution and forms acid rain. The contribution made by livestock slurry to this intractable destruction (of the environment) is central. In some countries, such as Belgium and Holland, it is the primary cause of acid rain."[21]; "Manure nitrogen also escapes into the air as gaseous ammonia, a pollutant which causes acid rain and other forms of acid deposition."[22]

The Depletion of the Stratospheric Ozone Layer.

The Animal slavery industry contributes in at least three ways to the thinning of the stratospheric ozone layer.

Nitrous Oxide.

One of the main contributors to the depletion of stratospheric ozone is nitrous oxide which is released from fertilisers and is .. "produced by fossil fuel use and in pesticides .."[23]

Methyl Bromide.

Some agricultural fumigants destroy the stratospheric ozone layer, "Methyl bromide gas is used to kill pests like nematodes, fungi and weeds before planting crops such as strawberries, tomatoes and flowers. Although widely used around the world, the gas is scheduled to be phased out in industrialized countries by 2005 because it depletes stratospheric ozone. Now researchers at the us department of agriculture say farmers may not need to stop using methyl bromide at all. Researchers in the u.s. have found that emissions of the agricultural fumigant gas methyl bromide could be reduced to what they claim is insignificant levels by applying composted manure and a novel plastic cover to soil before the gas is injected. The manure speeds up the breakdown of the gas to harmless products like methyl alcohol and bromide ions dissolved in water."[24]

Volatile Organic Compounds.

Volatile organic compounds (vocs) are an important class of Carbon containing pollutants. "The VOCs which cause the hole in the ozone layer are the halogen containing VOCs (chlorofluorocarbons) .. The production of ground level ozone is caused by the reaction of VOCs with oxides of nitrogen in the presence of sunlight. The main sources of VOC emissions are industrial processes and solvent use, which in 1988 accounted for around 59% of the UK’s VOC emissions, and road transport which accounted for around 35% of total emissions. .. motor vehicles are .. the single largest of all VOC sources. Crude oil contains a large proportion of volatile organic matter. Benzene is also formed by the "cracking" of other aromatic compounds in petrol in motor vehicle engines and exhausts, this, rather than petrol evaporation, is the largest and most widespread cause of benzene in the ambient atmosphere."[25] The Animal slavery industry releases a sizeable proportion of vocs, "There are about 70 tanneries in Britain. The most serious pollution from tanneries concerns the ozone-depleting VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions from the finishing process. The British Leather Confederation estimates the industry uses 2,000 tonnes of solvent, 85% of which is used in spraying solvent-thinned lacquers. During the production process .. salt is used to stop the skins decomposing, lime and sodium sulphide to remove hair and sulphuric acid to pickle the product. Pesticides are one serious hazard that come into the tanneries with the hides. Rinsing of the treated skins produces discharges of pesticides such as hexachlorocyclo hexane (HCH), aldrin, dieldrin, Lindane. Most British leather is chrome tanned - stabilized to stop them going mouldy. This .. involves the production of large amounts of trivalent chromium in the effluent. The most thorny problem, perhaps, is the chrome tanning process."[26]

Methane.

The Animal slavery industry is releasing large quantities of methane into the atmosphere - for quantities see next section. Methane does not directly damage stratospheric ozone, it only helps to create the conditions which accelerate this depletion. When methane is released into the atmosphere it percolates up to the stratosphere where it is oxidized to form water which freezes into icy droplets. The surface of these droplets provides the perfect site for chlorine to destroy ozone molecules, "That water, in the bitter cold of the polar winter, forms the clouds that attract and hold the chlorine breakdown products of cfcs."[27] Thus, without pharmers releasing vast amounts of methane into the atmosphere, cfcs would not have such a devastating impact on the thinning of the stratospheric ozone layer.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution: The Animal enslavement industry’s contribution to the Greenhouse Effect.

The Animal enslavement industry contributes to the greenhouse effect in a number of ways:-

• the use of fossil fuels to drive tractors and machinery; to transport Animals; to manufacture pesticides, herbicides, etc; to refrigerate cadavers, etc, etc. This releases vast quantities of greenhouse gases. As regards transport .. "12% of u.k. energy consumption is used in processing, preparing and distributing food."[28] As regards the manufacture of pesticides, "Manufacturing nitrogenous fertilizer uses large amounts of energy."[29] More specifically, "It takes approximately a ton of oil or its equivalent in natural gas to produce a ton of nitrogenous fertiliser."[30] It has been estimated that in america, "Producing just one hamburger uses enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles. Of all raw materials and fossil fuels used in the U.S., more than one-third is used to raise animals for food." (Peta). Modern intensive agriculture industry preserves the fertility of the soil by applying fertilisers, irrigation, pesticides etc, all of which derive from fossil fuels. Such large quantities of fossil fuels are used to maintain soil fertility that .. "some economists are fond of saying that land is just a way converting petroleum energy into food. (Professor David) Pimentel reckons that 10% of all the energy used in US agriculture today is there only to offset the costs of erosion. One cost of erosion is loss of nutrients; another is loss of water. If you want to grow 7,000 kg of corn from a hectare of US soil in a season, you will need four million litres just to be gathered by the roots and pass up the stems to transpire from the leaves, and another two million litres will evaporate from the soil while this happens. It takes about 660 litres of water to produce a pound of wheat. But an erosion of 17 tonnes per hectare per year means that the same soil loses 75 mm of rainfall which it could have stored. If the water has to be replaced, then it would cost $30 per hectare per year to pump ground water to the fields to make up the loss, and take about 70 litres of diesel fuel. It would also cost $100 a year per hectare to make up for the nutrients lost by erosion. So erosion costs the US consumer $196 a hectare. To put it another way, erosion alone causes the loss of 4 billion tonnes of topsoil and 130 billion tonnes of water in the United States every year, and the bill for this in added nutrients and lost water and productivity is $27 billion. Pimentel and his team estimate that erosion costs the US$44bn a year."[31]

• the use of pesticides releases further quantities of nitrous oxides which contribute to the greenhouse effect, "Nitrogenous fertilisers and diesel fuel are the major energy inputs on farms. Agriculture is, however, responsible for a significant proportion of two other powerful greenhouse gases, nitrous oxide and methane, accounting for 17% and 32% respectively. Nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture are considered to be more damaging than its CO₂ output."[32]

• the burning of Forests to create pastureland releases many greenhouse gases.

• ruminant slave Animals release vast quantities of methane which is a powerful greenhouse gas, "Live-stock production contributes about a third of the total methane from human agricultural activities. By far the most important animal methane source is the world's cattle, which are estimated to release 65-100 million tons per year. The cattle population in industrialized countries is about 47% of the world total .. With a share of 75%, cattle dominate methane emissions. This is mainly because of the large amount of feed and fodder they consume, but also because the fraction of feed converted to methane (the methane yield) is greater than in other animals. The methane yield also depends on the quality and the amount of feed. The amount of feed is highest for dairy cows, which typically receive three times their maintenance level feed. About 10-15% of the world's cattle are diary cows. The mean CH₄ production by cattle in industrialized countries is about 55kg/animal/year. Cattle in Third World countries produce only 35kg/animal/year, partly because of lower quality feed, partly because of less feed input. Also many Third world animals are kept for draft power purposes rather than just meat and dairy production."[33]

• as has been noted, the Animal slavery industry dumps vast quantities of manure into the environment. The manure contains greenhouse gases some of which are released back into the atmosphere including ammonia .. "ammonia, a good infrared absorber ..."[34]

• the burning of stubble, "Forty years ago nothing on the farm was wasted. Manure was returned to the land and straw was used for bedding or fodder. Today, britain’s farmers burn six million tonnes of straw every year - about half the annual crop. And two-thirds of the manure and slurry produced by our live-stock are wasted, with less than a third of the country’s crops and grass receiving any at all."[35] This practice was stopped after dense clouds of smoke drifted over motorways and caused a number of major traffic fatalities. However, around the world, most pharmers continue to burn the stubble in their fields, "On a trip to central java i passed farmer after farmer burning paddy stubble or scrub to prepare land for next year’s rice crop. (One farmer ignored his contribution) That we could not see the sun even though it was midday had clearly not affected his thinking. And the fact that more than 100 million other indonesians made their living in a similar way and would have started fires in the last seven days, had not registered with him either."[36]

Estimates of Pharming’s Contribution to the Greenhouse Effect.

There is as yet no Carbonomics analysis of the Animal slavery industry to reveal the scale of the industry’s contribution to the greenhouse effect. Various commentators have put forward estimates:-

Jeremy Rifkin.

Rifkin provides the most comprehensive estimate, "Much of the spent CO₂ in the atmosphere comes from our highly mechanized agriculture, which uses up 12% of the energy consumed in the US. Some of the energy is used to run tractors, milking machines, reapers, and other machines. Additional energy is consumed in the use of massive amounts of petrochemical fertilisers and pesticides. Still more energy is used in marketing the produce. Modern mechanized agriculture uses more energy inputs per unit of output than any other agricultural system in history. Only 20% of the energy used in agriculture goes into growing the food. The remaining 80% is burned in processing, packaging, and distributing the produce to market. The food processing industry is now the fourth largest industrial user of energy in the United States. Some sources estimate that food processing consumes nearly 6% of the country's total energy budget."[37]

Edward Goldsmith.

Goldsmith’s estimate is even greater, "When activities associated with farming are accounted for worldwide, agriculture is responsible for approximately one quarter of anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide, nearly 60% of methane and up to 80% of nitrous oxide."[38]

Clive Ponting.

"Modern animal rearing systems are even less efficient (than modern agriculture) once account is taken of the energy involved in producing artificial feeds and in building, heating, and lighting large sheds to accommodate the animals. Meat production in the industrialized world now consumes between two and three times the energy that it produces. The process of catching and producing frozen fish is probably the most inefficient form of energy use in the sphere of food production - it consumes about 20 times more energy than it makes available for human consumption. If modern agriculture comes out badly when looked at from this angle, modern food retailing makes things worse. The processing and distribution of food before it is eaten takes about three times as much energy as producing food itself. Once this is taken into account, then all food production in the industrialized world uses more energy than it creates."[39]

The Brutish Government.

The brutish government’s estimate of agriculture’s contribution is much more conservative - which is about par for the course given that many mps and scientists come from an agricultural background, "Agriculture appears not to be responsible for disproportionate CO₂ emissions as it consumes about 4.5% of u.k. energy usage, contributing less than 2% of total u.k. atmospheric Carbon emissions. Agriculture is .. responsible for a significant proportion of two other powerful greenhouse gases, nitrous oxide and methane, accounting for 17% and 32% respectively. Nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture are considered to be more damaging than its CO₂ output."[40]

3.4: A Major user of Fossil Fuels but the Biggest Contributor to the Greenhouse Effect.

Over the last few decades of the 20thc in the over-industrialized world, the mining, smelting, and manufacturing, industries came under considerable public and political pressures to reduce pollution and the damage they were inflicting on the environment. This has yielded results. However, the pharming industry has remained virtually immune to this political pressure. As a consequence it is now one of the biggest contributors to the greenhouse effect.

The Animal slavery industry is one of the biggest users of fossil fuels. If all the fossil fuels used by the pharming, and pharming related, industries were added together, it may be that the pharming matrix consumes more fossil fuels than any other industry. The scale of the pharming industries’ consumption of fossil fuels depends on what is or is not included under the category of the pharming industry. It could be argued that the pharming industry is solely concerned with growing crops and rearing Slaves. This would be the narrowest possible categorization. But accepting such a limited categorization would be like arguing that the car industry contributes to the greenhouse effect solely through car factories rather than what motorists do in their cars. In which case the pharming industry ought to include not merely the manufacture of tractors used on pharms, the transport industry, but the consumption of pharmers’ products. If food retailing is included as part of the pharming industry then this is almost certainly the biggest industry and thus the biggest consumer of fossil fuels and the biggest contributor to the greenhouse effect. Rifkin points out that in the u.s, "less than 2.7% of the workforce is directly engaged in farming. Although the farm population is less than three million, it sustains a food industry employing more than 20 million. In our highly industrialized urban culture, most people would probably be surprised to learn that the food and fibre industry is the single largest industry in the u.s. More than 20% of the gnp and 22% of the workforce is dependent on crops grown on america’s agricultural lands and Animals on feed lots and in factory farms."[41]

The Animal slavery industry also contributes to the greenhouse effect by burning down vast tracts of Forest; by slave Animals releasing vast quantities of methane into the atmosphere; and by dumping colossal quantities of manure into the environment which releases more greenhouse gases. Whilst it is only a mere hypothesis that the matrix of Animal slavery industries consumes more fossil fuels than any other industry, it is much more certain, given its consumption of fossil fuels; the release of greenhouse gases from Forest fires; ruminant belching/farting; and the dumping of manure; that it releases more greenhouse gases than any other industry in the world.

For the last decade or so, scientists and greens have been pumping out the propaganda that the release of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels is the cause of rising global temperatures. They state that the fossil fuel industry is the major cause of the greenhouse effect .. "fossil fuel projects - the single greatest contributor to climate change."[42] Because of their vested interests in the Animal slavery industry, they very rarely blame or even mention the role played by the agricultural or Animal slavery industries. To be quite clear on this: scientists and greens blame the fossil fuel industry in order to protect their vested interests in the agriculture and Animal slavery business. They use a variety of tactics to deflect blame for rising temperatures from the Animal slavery industry onto the fossil fuel industry. Firstly, they allocate the Animal slavery industry’s consumption of fossil fuels to the fossil fuel industry. This enables them to blame the fossil fuel industry for boosting the greenhouse effect not the Animal enslavement industry. They apply the same trick to the transport industry. Although a huge proportion of the fossil fuels consumed by the global transport industry are used by the pharming, or pharming related, industries to transport pharm products around the world, by allocating the pharming industry’s consumption of fossil fuels to the transport industry they are able to blame the global transport industry for the use of this fuel, and the consequent release of greenhouse gases, rather than the pharming industry. The same is also carried out for the manufacturing of commodities used by the pharming industry e.g. tractors, fertilisers and pesticides. Perhaps the most blatant way they seek to diminish the role played by the pharming industry is to distinguish it from the food retailing industry which, as has been noted above, is a major user of fossil fuels.

In order to defend the Animal slavery industry against accusations that it is responsible for global burning, scientists and greens strip the pharming industry of all its support industries. They put pharming into a completely abstract position where its only contribution to global burning is growing crops or pastureland. Given that crops/pastureland extract Carbon from the atmosphere, this has the added benefit of suggesting that the pharming industry is helping to combat global burning. Isn’t this miraculous? What at the very least could be called one of the world’s biggest contributors to the greenhouse effect is magically turned into one of the few industries which could be said to be combating global burning. No wonder scientists and greens are perplexed by allegations that the Animal slavery industry is the biggest contributor to global burning. The mundi club has spent the last ten years complaining about scientists’ and greens’ failures to promote Reforestation and has continually been confronted by greens opposed to the idea. It now becomes apparent that one of the reasons for this opposition is that greens can’t believe that Reforestation is necessary when the agriculture/Animal slavery industry is doing such a fine job in combating the greenhouse effect.

The pharmer loving scientists and greens are thus able to pull off a major propaganda coup in defence of the throat slitting, Animal enslavement industry. If, however, all fossil fuels used by manufacturing industries to produce pharming related products are allocated to the pharming industry rather than to the manufacturing industry; if all fossil fuels used by the transport industry to transport pharm products around the world is allocated to the pharming industry rather than the transport industry; and if the consumption of fossil fuels by the food retail industry is allocated to the pharming industry rather than the food retailing industry; then a completely different picture emerges of the role played by the throat slitting industry - it is one in which the pharming industry is, at the very least, one of the biggest contributors to the greenhouse effect.

It can be concluded that, overall, the pharming, and pharm related, industries use a substantial quantity of fossil fuels either directly or indirectly, through the transportation, manufacturing and retailing, industries which is a significant proportion of the total consumption of fossil fuels around the world. The manufacture and use of fossil fuels by the fossil fuel industry itself may be greater than that of the pharming industry but when greenhouse pollution from the burning of Forests, ruminant Animals, and the decay of manure is included, it is much more likely that the pharming industry is be the biggest contributor to the greenhouse effect.

4: Global Burning: The Pharming Industry is the World’s Biggest Contributor to Global Burning.

The Animal slavery industry is the world’s biggest contributor to deforestation and thus the biggest contributor to the destruction of the Earth’s Photosynthetic effect - one of the four factors which determine the scale of global burning. It is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, sources of greenhouse gases which contributes to the greenhouse effect. When the pharming industry’s total contribution to global burning is calculated, including both the Photosynthetic effect and the greenhouse effect, it can be concluded that no other industry comes anywhere near to its contribution to global burning and thus the destabilization of the climate.

5: The Animal Slavery Industry is the biggest slaughterer of Slave Animals and Wildlife.

5.1: World’s Biggest Slaughterer of Animals.

The Animal slavery industry is the world’s biggest slaughterer of slave Animals. It slaughters anywhere between 20 billion to 60 billion slave Animals a year.

5.2: World’s Biggest Slaughterer of Wildlife.

The global pharming industry is also the biggest contributor to the decimation of the Earth’s Wildlife. Pharmers destroy the habitats of vast numbers of Animals most of whom perish as a result. They shoot more Animals than hobby shooters. They poison vast numbers of Wild Animals through the use of pesticides - although thankfully the effectiveness of many pesticides is decreasing.[43] The numbers of Wildlife slaughtered could be anywhere between 100 billion to 150 billion - primarily because of the vast size of the world’s Fishing industry.

5.3: World’s Biggest Contributor to the Sixth Mass Extinction of Biodiversity.

The Animal slavery industry is the biggest contributor to the current mass extinction of Biodiversity - the sixth since the formation of the Earth over four billion years ago. The first five mass extinctions were brought about by natural events. The sixth is caused by a species which claims it is unique in its capability for making moral judgments - and yet it chooses, of its own free will, to create concentration camps for slaughtering hundreds of millions of Animals a year. Some morality!!!! This is the morality of zombies and vampires.

6: The Animal Slavery Industry and Global Poverty.

6.1: World’s Biggest Contributor to Land Expropriation.

The Animal enslavement industry is the biggest cause of the expropriation of land around the world. Over the centuries, it has been responsible for turfing hundreds of millions of people off their land - this happened first in brutland with the enclosure movement, then spread around europe and, since then, has encircled the Earth. For example, "The moneyed classes’ enthusiasm for deer stalking is keeping vast tracts of scotland as an artificial, empty environment and preventing its productive use by ordinary people. Hayden lorimer, from loughborough university said, "Crofters had been cleared off by enclosures, and were replaced by huge Sheep farms. Deer stalking was only introduced in the 19thc after the Sheep farms went bankrupt. Landowners argued that the estates preserved scotland’s natural heritage. Mr lorimer said that to prevent criticism of their occupation of large estates kept empty just for Deer, the "lairdocracy" managed to propagate a myth of their history and legitimacy."[44] It happened through a succession of epochs from mercantilism, through imperialism, colonialism, right up to today’s subsidized multinational corporate capitalism.

6.2: World’s Greatest Cause of Land Inequalities.

The Animal slavery industry is the biggest cause of the current gross inequalities in land ownership in every country around the world. The inequalities found in third world countries are virtually the same as those in the over-industrialized world. In all countries around the world, the roots of the pharming industry are in land expropriation and the slaughter of oomans. America is the only country to turn the wild and murderous habits of its big pharmers who stole land from native indians and small homesteaders into entertainment but the entire Animal slavery industry is rooted in similar conditions. It is one of the great ironies of oomans’ pending demise that the Animal exploitation industry started off by slaughtering oomans, settled down to erect a vast network concentration camps for slave Animals, but will eventually bring about the slaughter of all oomans.

6.3: The Greatest Cause of Ooman Immizerization, Global Poverty, and Malnutrition.

The Animal slavery industry is the biggest cause of ooman immizerization.[45] Landowning pharming elites around the world drive the poor off their land. As a result, the landlessness become destitute and often perish. The process continues relentlessly even today. Multinational corpse corporations are busy buying up huge areas of land all over the world, "Every new acquisition leads to more people being dispossessed and in some countries it has affected one third of all rural people. In Latin America it is more than 40%."[46]; "Many things have played a part in the impoverishment of great tracts of the world and high amongst them is the West’s addiction to meat and Animal protein."[47]; "So much land in the poorer, developing countries has been turned over to growing feed for live-stock that it now amounts to 14.6 million hectares - and that is solely to supply the EC."[48]; "The pressure of foreign debt and the growing integration of Third World agriculture into the world commodity market has led to a major shift of agricultural land from domestic food production into large-scale export production dominated by international agribusiness corporations. According to FAO statistics, an estimated 14% of Third world agricultural cropland is now devoted to export production. What is more, the grains and other feed exported to industrialized countries from the third world are almost entirely used for producing meat i.e. for high income luxury consumption rather than basic needs. The grain imports required to compensate for this shift of agricultural land further undermines the self reliance of developing countries: Grain exports from industrialized countries to Third World countries are routinely subsidized."[49]; "If Americans reduced their beef consumption by only 10%, the left over grain would feed all of the 60 million people who starve to death throughout the world each year."[50]

As a quick aside it is one of those perverse ironies that pharmer loving greens complain about the way large landowners chuck the poor off their land but they are all too willing to support the poor when they invade land that has been put aside as Wilderness areas for Wildlife. It’s wrong for big landowners to push the poor off the land but its alright for the poor to push Animals off their land. There are leading greens in brutland who are going around arguing that ‘there is no such thing as wilderness’ as a justification for poor when they invade Wilderness areas after they have been chucked off their land. This is an echo of that old zionist slogan about palestine, "A land without people, for a people without land." Just a shame there were palestinians on the land.

The landowning pharming elites in most third world countries use the land they have stolen to create pasture to produce corpses which are exported to feed consumers in the rich world whilst the poor in their own country starve, "The world's cattle alone consume a quantity of food equal to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people—more than the entire human population on Earth. Today, hundreds of millions of cattle are being fed precious grain so that American and European consumers can enjoy the taste of meat. Meanwhile, nearly one billion people suffer from hunger and malnutrition, and between 40 and 60 million people-mostly children- die each year from starvation and related diseases." (Peta); .. "reducing beef consumption in the industrialized countries would be an important component of promoting a more equitable international economic order. Because of the large amounts of grain required to produce beef, the geographic location of cattle herds can be misleading. Most industrial countries do not have sufficient agricultural land to support their meat consumption. Beef production is particularly land-intensive, because one calorie of meat production requires 3 calories of grain inputs for pork and 10 calories for beef. Land requirements can be up to 50 times higher than for protein production from grain. As a result, a great deal of the feed consumed in industrialized countries is not produced on the home farm, but purchased from developing countries. For example, Western Europe imports more than 40%, or 21 million tons per year, of its feed grains from the Third World. In addition, about two-thirds of the total domestic grain crop goes to feed-lots. The agribusiness production of grains for foreign exchange-earning exports to the industrialized region is one among several factors in the displacement of the rural poor in the Third world onto marginal, ecologically sensitive land. The magnitude of the food value involved in this trade is significant: the 500 million people suffering starvation could find relief from this condition if they had the cash to buy the grains exported to industrial country feedlots. In that sense, the present level of meat consumption in the wealthy industrialized countries is directly related to starvation in the poor countries of the world."[51]; "Forty percent of all grain is fed to live-stock, so the effective supply could be greatly increased simply by phasing out Cows."[52]

Around the world as more and more people become richer and richer, the greater is the demand for meat products, the greater the immiserization. Marx believed that under capitalism there was a growing divergence between the owners of production and wage labourers/non workers. But there are also contrary tendencies which enable owners and the owned to get richer together. However, as far as the Animal exploitation industry is concerned there is no such win-win situation. The more meat consumed by the rich, the greater the poverty and destitution of the poor. The more that rich people eat meat, the more they push the poor further into the abyss of poverty. On a finite planet, if the rich eat meat they deprive the poor of the land they need to grow their own crops. The more the Animal enslavement industry increases the overconsumption of meat by the rich, the greater the immizerization of the poor. When this process takes place within the context of increasing ooman population, immiserization is further boosted. The poor starve not because of an absence of food but because the glut of grains is converted into meat for the rich. Slave Animals are the greatest symbols of the gross inequalities between oomans - far more so than peripheral items such as gold, diamonds, limousines, or private aircraft.

6.4: The Over-Industrialized World using subsidized Pharming Surpluses to Impoverish Third World Countries.

Governments in the over-industrialized world provide gargantuan subsidies to their Animal slavery industries which invariably produce surpluses. These surpluses are often dumped onto global markets undermining the prices of pharm products produced by poverty stricken, third world pharmers, "Under the (wto) trade rules, for example, the Philippines is importing American corn that is far cheaper than its local equivalent. As a result, says Oxfam, half a million poor Filipino farmers risk losing their livelihoods. And, it adds, the subsidy to each American farmer, at $29,000 a year, is 100 times higher than the Filipino growers' entire average income. Aren't such subsidies an impediment to free trade? The WTO seems to have a selective view. While Third World countries are forbidden to subsidise their crops, Western nations quintupled their agricultural subsidies from $47 billion to $247 billion in the first four years of the WTOs existence."[53]

6.5: Intensification of the Animal Slavery Industry depends on the importation of Feed.

The size of a country’s Animal slavery industry depends not only on the scale of pastureland but to the quantities of feed it is able to import. For example, in brutland the Animal slavery industry is massive not simply because it uses up to 50% of the land area but because it imports vast quantities of crops from around the world to feed its slave Animals. The area of land used in brutland forgrowing crops for the country’s slave Animals is far smaller than the area of land around the world, "Western countries import crops from hungry third world nations to feed factory farmed animals. An estimated 14.6 million hectares in third world countries is used to grow animal feeds for the European live-stock market." (Animal Aid).

6.6: The Symbol of the Meat industry’s Appalling Decadence.

There is one story which more than any other symbolizes the sheer decadence of Animal slavery industry in promoting the interests of the rich over those of the poor, "In Haiti, officially designated as one of the world’s poorest countries, much of the best agricultural land is used for growing alfalfa. In an act of complete obscenity, multinational beef concerns fly cattle from Texas to Haiti to graze and fatten on the alfalfa before flying them back to Texas as carcasses for US hamburgers."[54]

6.7: The Most Inefficient, and thus luxurious, form of Food Production.

"Raising animals for food is grossly inefficient, because you have to put 20 calories of food into an animal to get just one measly calorie back in the form of flesh." (Peta); "There is nutritional inefficiency inherent in using animals for food. 90% of the protein content of grain is lost when fed to live-stock; 96% of its calories and all of its fibre and carbohydrates vanish out of the tail end of cows, hogs and sheep."[55]

6.8: The Left’s Puerile Response to the fact that the Animal Slavery industry is the greatest cause of Global Immiserization.

Some of the crops used to feed brutland’s slave Animals are imported from third world countries with widespread poverty. Sometimes crops are exported from third world countries which are suffering from famine - as happened during the ethiopian famine in the 1980s. However, for those on the left of the political spectrum, most of whom are carnivores, this is not an issue of any concern. The left often criticizes the production of luxury items even though the industries producing such items usually help to spread a small degree of wealth because they provide jobs for the poor. However, they rarely condemn the meat industry even though the production of meat is unique in that it produces only immiserization - firstly, because the number of jobs is minuscule; secondly, because the land used by the rich to produce meat cannot be used by the poor to grow their own crops; and, thirdly, because the poor obtain no share of the export earnings from the export of Animal feed, meat, or slave Animals .. "meat exporting countries are among Africa’s poorest and most drought stricken: Chad, Sudan, Niger, Somalia, Mali, Botswana and Namibia."[56] But do the massive third world charities, including those connected to christian churches, from christian aid to oxfam, condemn the Animal slavery industry? No, of course, not.

7: The Animal Slavery Industry and Politics.

7.1: World’s Greatest Cause of Political Inequalities.

In every country around the world, the consequences of the gross land inequalities of land brought about by the Animal slavery industry are political systems dominated by land-owning pharming elites - in some countries where elites are long established they have transformed themselves into aristocracies. These political systems are inherently corrupt because the landowning elites use their political power to consolidate and extend their landownership and to extract gargantuan subsidies from the state. Given that land inequalities are virtually the same around the world, virtually all countries suffer similar levels of political corruption. In over-industrialized countries there are far more interest groups competing for power, prestige and subsidies, than in third world countries so whilst this helps to curb the corruption of the landowning elites, it also makes it far more difficult to detect the corruption being wrought by the landowning elites. What arises from, and reinforces, land inequalities is political corruption. Wherever there are land inequalities there will be political corruption. There is no need for political analysts to investigate members of the legislature to determine the scale of corruption in a country - all they need to do is to look at the country’s land inequalities - although in brutland this is difficult to assess because the landowning elites prevent the collection of details as to who owns what land.

7.2: Examples of the Political Corruption Caused by Inequalities in Land Ownership.

The Law is not relevant to the Pharming Industry.

It was pointed out above that in the united states there has been a considerable effort to reduce industrial pollution but very little to reduce agricultural pollution. This is not just an accident. It is due to the huge numbers of pharmers in american politics who block all legislation which runs counter to their pharming interests. The same is true is almost all other countries. The pharming industry is given a free reign to do what it wants. In some countries this is called self-regulation but it is more obviously a state of complete anarchy. For example, in brutland, pharmers are not subject to planning laws. Pharmers are virtually free from regulations, and when confronted by regulations, they are often entirely free from any regulatory supervision.

In the united states, although livestock pharmers produce vast quantities of manure, they are not compelled to install sewage treatment plants to prevent damage to the environment - even though they generate more manure than medium sized towns. This privilege is even more prominent because whilst water companies face a wide range of regulations covering the spraying of ooman manure onto fields, the same does not apply to pharmers spraying livestock manure, "With human waste sludge there are rules that require testing and lifetime loading rates for metals. There’s no such limit for Animal waste."[57]

The industrialization of Pig pharming in the 1980s and 1990s has transformed the Pig murdering business from small scale family farming into huge scale, highly intensive, factory pharming run by multi-national corporations. Although it is little different from any other form of mass manufacturing process, multi-national Hog corporations are still legally classified as family pharms and thus exempt from factory legislation. In north carolina the close connection between Pig industrialists and local civil servants led to a situation where the agricultural department prevented health officials from protecting public health, "The state department of agriculture, at the urging of the pork industry, got a law passed in 1993 to prevent a state environmental protection agency from finding out where Hogs, and Hog waste, are concentrated. As a result, the state department of environment, health and natural resources is spending $100,000 to gather its own information on hog farms - including some information the department of agriculture already collects at taxpayers expense."[58]

Some Pig manufacturers have become politicians and used the political process to benefit their private interests, "Wendell h murphy, who became the nation’s biggest hog producer during the 10 years he served in the general assembly, helped pass laws worth millions of dollars to his company. The duplin county executive voted for bills giving Hog and Poultry producers tax breaks, protection from local zoning and exemptions from tougher environmental regulations."[59] Also exemptions from sales taxes.

Pharmers’ Political Privileges.

In many states in the united states, pharmer-politicians passed ‘right to farm legislation’ giving themselves virtual immunity to do what they want with their land. Michigan passed its ‘right to farm’ act in 1981, "It was intended to protect existing farming operations from nuisance suits brought against them by a growing number of non-farming residents (i.e. suburban, ex-urban). For all practical purposes, farming in michigan enjoyed environmental immunity."[60]

7.3: The Political Corruption Caused by the Inequalities in Land Ownership. The Case History of Bse.

7.3.1: What Bse Exposed about Brutland.

The mundi club became aware of the political corruption caused by the pharming industry only as a result of the bse and bse-epidemics which dragged the pharming industry out of the background where it had been quietly going about its corrupt business. That pharmers were allowed to spread two deadly diseases around the country’s live-stock showed:-

* the weakness of scientists in not being able to counter government propaganda that bse was safe to eat;

* the weakness of veterinarians who had no interest in reducing sales of bseef;

* the weakness of health authorities in protecting ooman health;

* the weakness of the law which pharmers, butchers, restaurateurs just ignored e.g. by selling bseef-on-the-bone;

* the scale of subsidies to pharmers showed the corruption of the political system;

* the corruption of the judiciary in the bse enquiry;

* the complicity of the media in supporting governments’ pro pharming propaganda suggesting that pharmers were the innocent victims of this disease and should be compensated for their troubles;

* the intellectuals and commentators who failed, or refused, to expose the corruption which the bse epidemic revealed;

* the sheer vile, murderous, bloodymindedness of pharmers who refused, and many still do, to accept that bse is a deadly brain disease;

* the sheer vile murderous, bloodymindedness of politicians who insisted the public should continue to eat pharmers’ brain rotting muck and exported bse infected feed to europe when the brutish public refused to allow it to be sold in brutland.

7.3.2: Perfidious Albion - what must Europe think of Brutish Zombies?

Europe has had a truly appalling deal out of the brutish invention of bse and bse-cjd. If, in the years to come, as the corpses mount up, europe decides to invade brutland and string up the country’s pharmers and politicians it would be difficult to deny the justice of their actions. Indeed, the mc would be there cheering them on. Trying to look at this strutting, disaster-prone, zombie nation through european eyes, it is not difficult to imagine the phrase ‘perfidious albion’ constantly repeating itself. This is not the place to detail the way this country has repeatedly stabbed its european partners in the back over these diseases. A quick list will suffice:-

* When bse first appeared in brutland the tory government compensated pharmers for diseased Animals. However, pharmers were perfectly at liberty to sell their Cattle to europe.

* In 1990 the tory government banned the domestic use of meat and bone meal (mbm) but allowed this contaminated product to be exported - indeed, one of the sweeteners which made mbm manufacturers willing to accept the domestic ban was the freedom to keep exporting it around the world. True, european countries never banned the importation of this material but, morally, it was appalling to sell it. This was the modern version of brutish soldiers giving disease-infected blankets to pesky natives in brutish colonies.

* In 1990 it was discovered that bse had spread to another species, Cats. European public opinion went into shock and politicians decided to ban the importation of brutish bseef. However, john selwyn gummer, a maffia minister, promised the european community that brutland would adopt a Cattle passport system so that it would be possible for importers to ascertain that Animals came from herds in bseland that were free of bse. The european commission was assured the scheme would be up and running as soon as practicable and, on the basis of this agreement, european countries lifted their bans on brutish bseef and the export of brutish mbm. Of course the tory government, reneged on its promise and these loathsome, corrupt, lying, cheating, degenerates still hadn’t implemented the Cattle passport scheme when they were booted out of office in 1997. These people really ought to be tried for crimes against oomancruels. This of course would later rebound so deliciously on the country. The refusal of Cattle pharmers to accept the Cattle passport scheme encouraged Sheep pharmers to resist the same scheme for Sheep and this allowed them to continue their bed and breakfasting mass criminality which spread foot and mouth disease around the country.

7.3.3: Media complicity in Bse.

Both politicians and pharmers were responsible for the creation of bse and bse-cjd and the spread of these diseases not merely around the country but the world. However, the brutish media were also complicit in these crimes: firstly, because they did not research the truth; secondly, they did nothing to challenge the blatant propaganda and scientific fraud being perpetrated by pharmers and pharming mps; thirdly, because their pro-pharmer bigotry overshadowed their concern for the protection of consumer health; and, fourthly, despite the fact that they have produced many cookery series they have never featured any vegetarian programmes. The media refuses to mention the word vegan for fear of being regarded as traitors to the meat eating pharming establishment. It is often held that the media is the fourth arm of government and that the separation of powers helps to help curb legislative excesses. However, the bse slaughter showed that the media colluded with politicians by giving overwhelming support to pharmers’ interests.

The grossest example of just how appallingly corrupt the country’s journalists and editors are can be appreciated from the fact that not one of them reported on the lavish honours being heaped upon lord phillips as a bribe for exonerating the mass murderers responsible for the bse slaughters. Brutish journalists are amongst the most snivelling, pathetic, servile, cretins, to be found anywhere around the world, so such information could be acquired only on the american madcow.org website, "Here are the promotions and new titles received by Phillips during the Inquiry. These reached their grandest moment in appointment to Master of the Rolls (a title of Pooh-Bah ridiculed a century ago by Gilbert and Sullivan in the Mikado). In January 1999, it was announced that the judge who is overseeing the proceedings, Sir Nicholas Phillips, now 62, is to be a Law Lord. He has been appointed Lord of Appeal in Ordinary and is to be known as The Rt. Hon. The Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers. Phillips was then promoted during the inquiry to the Lords Justices; as the Inquiry neared the end, he was promoted again, in June this year, to Master of Rolls in the Court of Appeal and Head of Civil Justice, with Lord Justice Nourse filling in until Phillips assumes his new duties on October 1. The Right Honourable Sir Nicholas Addison Phillips, Knight, a Lord Justice of Appeal, having been appointed a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary and created Baron Phillips of Worth Matravers, of Belsize Park in the London Borough of Camden, for life--was, in his robes, introduced between the Lord Alexander of Weedon and the Lord Mustill. [House of Lords Tuesday, 12th January 1999]. In short, heading up this inquiry really put Phillips' career on the fast track."[61] It is obvious that the reason phillips dragged out his report for over two years was simply because the longer he did so the more bribes he could extort from the eco-nazis in government.

7.3.4: Phillips’s payments for his role as Establishment Prostitute. The Social Rewards for Letting off Mass Murderers.

The corruption of the judiciary was evident from the bse enquiry. Nick phillips was the latest in a long line of rural, aristocratic, meat eating, widgery, whitewashers - all posh accent and no morals - in other words, a revolting tart. For phillips to conclude that nobody had lied about bse was too big a lie even for a widgery law lord. Roy hattersley argued the public shouldn't expect members of the law lords to have any integrity, "Everyone knew that the withdrawal of the royal navy's survey ship from the south atlantic convinced the argentine junta that britain no longer cared about the falkland islands. But lord franks absolved the government, which had saved £3m by bringing hms endurance home and spent £1.6 bn on the war which that decision provoked, from all blame. The establishment rarely condemns its own. Lord phillips concludes that "the campaign of reassurance was a mistake". Amen to that. But it is less easy to endorse his judgment that "the government did not lie"."[62]

7.4: The Gargantuan Scale of Subsidies given to the Pharming Industry.

The power of the land owning pharming elites in each country around the world is transparent from the vast subsidies they receive. No other industry receives anything like the same level of subsidies as the Animal slavery industry. In the over-industrialized nations, the scale of the welfare benefits being paid out to Animal slavery industries is nothing short of gargantuan. And yet neither the media, the public, nor even non-pharming politicians, ever question the validity of these subsidies let alone the legality of the pharmers in politics to steal such vast resources for their own use. If a disaster strikes the pharming industry such as the bse epidemic, or foot and mouth, pharmer-politicians expropriate vast subsidies to restore their industry. This is taken for granted as if it wasn’t a political issue. It never invokes denunciations about political corruption, lame industries, welfare benefit junkies, people incapable of looking after themselves and unable to stand on their own two feet. In fact the politicians who protest the loudest about welfare benefits to unemployed people are pharmers who are up to their necks in welfare benefits they have stolen from the public purse. It is as if subsidies to the pharming industry are above politics. Look at all the publicity given to the greenwich dome and yet the pharming industry receives ten times more subsidies and has caused far more devastating national disasters than the dome ever could. Beneath the facade of democracies are the vested interests of the landowning pharming elite. Some pharming elites are so entrenched they even have their own political institutions giving them a veto over any policies formulated by a democratically elected government, which runs counter to their interests e.g. brutland’s house of lords.

7.5: The Comparative Cost of the World’s Biggest Welfare Benefit Spongers.

The colossal subsidies given to the pharming industry means there is far less money to invest in schools, health, and public transport. In any country around the world, the quality of schools, hospitals, and public transport is in inverse proportion to the subsidies given to its pharmers. It also has to be pointed out that the more subsidies given to pharmers, the greater the ecological devastation, the greater the difficulties faced in creating a sustainable planet.
