A Milk by Any Other Name...
by
PrkStRangr@aol.com
The
US Dairy Industry is spending lots in legal costs to try to get the soymilk
industry to stop using the word "milk" as a part of it's product
name. Huh?
We
taxpayers spend so much money each year to prop up the dairy industry, buying
milk and cheese for school lunch programs, welfare programs, disaster relief,
and as aid to foreign countries, I wonder why these dairy companies feel they
need to spend even more money on helping consumers distinguish between soy
beverage and bovine mammilary fluid.
Surely
the smarter of us can pick between a high protein, cruelty free drink and the
pesticide and herbicide laden, hormone and antibiotic enhanced fluids from a
cow.
If
the dairy industry has it's way, soy milks will have to be re-labeled as
"Soy Beverage", "Soy Drink", "Bean Juice" or any
other name which does not cause confusion with "real" milk. Huh?
Shouldn't
human women have a claim on the name "real" milk?
And
there should be no confusion....the Dairy Industry cares not about the
suffering, as long as a dollar is to be made.
Dairy cows must be kept pregnant to keep producing milk, most of the
offspring becoming veal.
And
let there be no confusion.....The Dairy Industry says "Want Strong Bones?,
Got Milk?" because they cannot say "Milk Builds Strong Bones",
they don't want to fight the truth in advertising laws. Research has shown that the acidity of animal
protein leeches calcium out of the body.
So, cow's milk leaves you with less calcium than you receive from it. Really want Strong Bones? Don't believe the Dairy Industry, eat kale,
other leafy green veggies and take a calcium supplement. And read the info at
The
NOTMILK Homepage! (MILK is a bad-news substance!) http://www.notmilk.com/
But
because the Dairy Industry has the money, they can say what they want to, and
make us use the words they would wish us to use. Soy Drink.
I
cannot help but wonder what fate awaits the makers of peanut BUTTER...peanut
cream?, No, of course not. .....peanut goo?
Speaking
of which -- peanut butter makes great sauces and dips.
Pepper
Peanut Butter Sauce
In
a saucepan boil one cup water with 1/3 cup soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic
and one or two crushed cayenne peppers or a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or
powder. Mix in enough peanut butter,
four or five tablespoons to desired consistancy, to make a sauce for a dish of
broccoli and rice, or cauliflower and rice or other mixed stir fried, or
steamed, veggies served with grain or pasta.
Chocolate
Chile Peanut Sauce
Mix
a cup and a half of water with 2 cloves minced garlic, one crushed cayenne
pepper, one tablespoon Mole sauce (available in the Mexican foods section of
many supermarkets and made of chile and chocolate). When it boils, mix in five (or so) tablespoons of peanut
butter. When desired thickness is
achieved, stir in a tablespoon or two of Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese. Serve with fresh veggies (colored bell
peppers, squash, broccoli) and toasted bread.

Say It With Canvas
by
KMBWolf@aol.com
Now
you can express yourself on how you feel about animals and conserve resources!
A
canvas tote bag makes a great "billboard." Not only are you educating
people about animal rights and welfare, but you're saving paper and plastic
from bagging your items.
So
far, I have had several people comment to me on my bag. One woman said that she
never heard of a factory farm before and wanted to know more about them. Another didn't know that there was a
difference between shelters (kill and no-kill). I am proud when I go out with
my bag, especially when I see people reading the slogans.
It's
easy to make, and so inexpensive. All you need is a blank canvas tote, which
you can buy in craft stores and fabric markers. You can also add pins, buttons,
and patches, as well as drawing pictures with the markers. My bag only cost me
$7.48 to make!
The
slogans you write on the bag should be brief, but to the point. Some of the
slogans on my bag include:
"Fur is
for Cave Men"
"Compassion
is the Fashion -- Don't Wear Fur"
"Don't
Have a Cow -- Have a Carrot"
"Fur is
Dead"
"You Have
a Choice -- Don't Dissect"
"Don't
Kill Bugs -- Free Them"
"Help the
Homeless -- Adopt from a No-Kill Shelter"
"Fishing
is Killing"
"Don't
Buy Cats or Dogs -- Adopt Them"
"Factory
Farms Are Cruel Farms"
"Bullfights
are Cruel -- Every Bull Loses"
"Say No
To Drugs -- Stop Animal Testing"
"Rodeos
are No No's"
"Live
Traps -- The Better Mouse Trap"
"Save a
Life -- Break for Crossing Animals"
"Fur is
Murder"
"Got
soy?"
"Don't
Breed Misery -- Spay/Neuter your Companion Animal"
"Vegetarians
Save Lives Everyday"
"Extinction
is Forever"
"Stop
Horse and Greyhound Racing"
"Give
Peas A Chance"
"Thou
Shalt Not Kill -- God Meant That For Animals, Too"
"Meat
Stinks"
"Vegans
for Life"
"Love
Animals -- Don't Eat Them"
"Fur is
For the Animals"
"Hunting
is Not a Sport -- It's Murder"
"Wildlife
Have a Right to Life"
"Circuses
Hurt Animals"
By
showing others how you feel about animals without speaking a word, you will be
doing so much for the animals, who themselves are unable to speak.

Meatout 2000 Events
March 20, 2000
There
is still time to conduct a Meatout 2000 Event!
But time is growing short.
It
is very easy to organize a small event, such as leafleting your local grocery
stores, or doing a workplace lunch, or setting up an information table with the
event pack we will send you if you register before 5pm EST on Monday the 13th
of March. Since we have so little time
left, we are reserving the event packs for only those who really are going to
set up a tabling event.
These
tabling events can be easily arranged in an hour or two.
In
addition to putting on the Congressional Meatout Reception at the U.S. Capitol,
I have a personal goal of distributing 1,000 'Quick & Healthy Shopping
List/Product Suggestion Form' leaflets to shoppers going into several of my
local grocery stores and large restaurants between the 18th and 20th of March.
This leaflet and other leaflet masters are available on our website
www.meatout.org or by calling 1-800-MEATOUT and registering your planned
activity.
Why
do it? Because it is the best thing we can do for our own health, the
environment, the animals, and/or the future of our children and our
planet. Its easy....and so satisfying
to know that you have done your part in helping others to 'kick the meat habit'
for at least one day and try the host of new, exciting, and wholesome meatless
foods.
Considering
the flow of registrations we are getting we expect over 2,000 events this year
all across America and in several other countries. Meatout Council celebrities Casey Kasem, Mary Tyler Moore, Rue
McClanahan and others will be on several local and national TV & Radio
Stations. Bus Ads and billboards will be in several major cities. Proclamations
will be signed by several Governors and Mayors.
To
get involved, simply do one of the following:
a..
Visit www.meatout.org or
b..
Call 1-800-MEATOUT (1-800-632-8688) or
c..
E-Mail: register@meatout.org
**Make
sure you give us all the particulars (name, address, phone, email, and what
event you are planning) so we can make sure we get you the right materials and
get your event listed for the media.
We
are expecting the best Meatout ever and hope you will do your best to be a part
of it. We look forward to hearing about your event(s).

"Puppy Lemon Law"
By
SavingLife@aol.com
This
month, in Pennsylvania, Attorney General Mike Fisher announced that all dog
sellers and breeders in the state are now required to post a public notice
disclosing consumers' rights and responsibilities under the state's "Puppy
Lemon Law." According to Fisher,
"This notice makes clear what consumers should do if the dog they recently
bought has a serious disease or illness."
It also requires breeders to give new dog owners information regarding
the animal's health and registration status.
Violations of the law will result in penalties of up to $1,000 and up to
$2,000 if the seller is not licensed.
While
this law still allows the continued irresponsibility of companion animal reproduction,
it is a step in the right direction. I
say this because, while the breeders are allowed to continue to operate, the
fact that they must legally disclose to all potential buyers the status of
their puppies' health creates an incentive for the breeders to ensure that
their animals are born and raised in an environment that is clean and
healthy.
Puppy
mills are infamously known to be crude, filthy environments whereby animals
quickly contract life debilitating diseases.
The incentive of money over the animals health and well-being is nearly
eliminated, as the breeder has a legal responsibility to own up to the health
status of his or her animals, otherwise facing the repercussions of financial
penalties. Let's face it, no one is
going to buy an animal that is obviously seriously ill. If the breeder must disclose these facts,
they are going to do everything in their power to ensure that there is nothing
to disclose.
I
am not sure of the status of other states views on puppies and breeders, but it
would be a good idea if you started researching. If you find that your state is without such legislation, start
contacting your state Senators and Representatives and request that such
legislation be implemented. If you need
assistance in drafting letters, contact SavingLife@aol.com.
It
is obvious that animal breeding is going to continue, at least into the near
future. At the very least, we can fight
to create incentives for breeders and sellers to raise their animals in safe,
sanitary environments. This would be a
big improvement over the conditions most puppies are currently forced to live
in, and while most of us do not condone the intentional breeding of companion
animals, we still must be concerned about the lives of those animals who have
already been born and will be.
Don't
forget about the cats and kittens. They
need to be involved in this legislation too!

Human Identity Politics: Homo Indeterminus
by Steve Best
- sbest1@elp.rr.com
"It's
all a question of story. We are in trouble just now because we do not have a
good story. We are in between stories. The old story, the account of how the
world came to be and how we fit into it, is no longer effective. Yet we have
not learned the new story." Thomas Berry, The Dream of the Earth
"That's
the premise of your story: The world was made for man. Your entire history,
with all its marvels and catastrophes, is a working out of this
premise." Daniel Quinn, Ishmael
As
the current scene shows, social life is fragmenting into various forms of
"identity politics" involving issues such as race, gender, religious
outlook, national background, and sexual preference. There is yet another major
form of identity currently under contestation, involving the identity of the
entire human species.
As
human beings continue to explore their evolutionary past and gain a more
accurate knowledge of the intelligence of the great apes and other animals, as
they further probe the depths of the cosmos in search of life more advanced
than themselves, as they develop increasingly sophisticated computers and forms
of artificial intelligence and artificial life (self-reproducing "digital
DNA"), as they cross species boundaries and exchange their genes with
other animals, as they clone various life forms, and as they move toward bionic
bodies, the question arises inexorably: Who is homo sapiens? Are humans unique
in any way?
Since
Aristotle's celebrated notion of the "featherless biped," Western
culture has struggled, and failed, to attain an adequate self-understanding.
The specificity of human nature has been clouded in numerous ways, ranging from
religious and anthropocentric attempts to define us as possessors of soul made
in the image of God, to sociobiological efforts to deny human beings any
uniqueness from insects and other DNA-bearing organisms. Traditionally, the
riddle of human identity has been resolved through religion; today, however, we
know the answer to this question depends on science, yet it requires a return
to cosmological thinking and a new kind of spirituality.
Human
identity in Western culture has been formed through the potent combination of
the Judeo-Christian tradition, Greek and Roman humanism, Medieval theology, Renaissance
humanism, and modern science. All of these sources, whether religious or
secular, concur in the belief that human beings are wholly unique beings,
existing in culture rather than nature, and therefore are radically separate
from the earth they inhabit and the animal life surrounding them. No doubt, the
most pervasive influence on Western human identity has been the biblical story
of dominion, whereby human beings take possession of a world made just for
them, an earth in which their proper role is to seize command of nature through
technological prowess.
Since
the sixteenth century, however, this geocentric and anthropocentric identity
has been dealt a series of powerful blows. Beginning with the Copernican
revolution that posited a sun-centered, rather than earth-centered universe,
continuing with Darwin's theory of evolution, and culminating with Nietzsche
and Freud who overthrew the primacy of consciousness in favor of desire,
instinct, and will, human identity has been radically decentered. Despite the
heliocentric theories of Copernicus and Galileo and the development of a
secular scientific culture, human beings nevertheless could feel comfortable in
their alleged radical novelty and superiority in relation to "brute
beasts." Comfortable, that is,
until 1859, the publication date of Origin of Species, for Darwin's critique
alone posed a real challenge to anthropocentrism. Only since 1859 have human
beings begun to understand the forces of life and their own origins at all.
Moreover, it was not until 1960, when Jane Goodall made her historic journey to
Gombe, Tanzania, that human beings acquired any real knowledge about the higher
apes, specifically the chimpanzee, our closest evolutionary relative. Human
beings split from a common ancestry with chimpanzees some six to eight million
years ago. Structurally, behaviorally, and genetically (a 96.8% match), human
beings and chimpanzees are remarkably alike; in fact, chimpanzees are
genetically closer to us than they are to orangutans.
Without
an accurate comparative basis to our closest biological relative, we could not
have produced an adequate understanding of ourselves and we have been living,
to borrow a phrase from Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan, in the "shadows of
forgotten ancestors." Until Jane Goodall's work, the identity of homo
sapiens still had some security: only we were homo faber and homo loquens; only
we could make tools, use tools, and linguistically interact; only we lived in
behaviorally complex communities.
Through
Goodall's research, however, we have learned that chimpanzees also make and use
tools, and through the work of Roger Fouts and others, it has been demonstrated
that chimpanzees and other higher apes can learn American Sign Language, that
they have developed a working vocabulary of hundreds of words, that they can
communicate their thoughts and emotions to us, and even that they can, on their
own accord, teach this language to their young.
Human
beings are unique in the degree to which they possess intelligence; no other species,
last time I checked, has written books of ethics, solved algebraic equations,
or meditated on the meaning of life. But humanity is not unique in its
possession of a neocortex (which enables abstract thought); of complex emotions
like love, loneliness, and shame; of sophisticated behaviors and communities,
and perhaps even of an aesthetic sense. Human beings are immensely complex
beings, with both a penchant for both violence and compassion, egoism and
altruism, but they have overstated their uniqueness and separated themselves
from the community of life on the earth, both conceptually and existentially.
This is our main failing, and the central reason behind the environmental and
spiritual crisis human beings currently confront.
Like
any other identity issue, "homo sapiens" is an identity politics.
Human beings differentiate themselves from other groups in order to gain their
identity. In the case of human identity
politics, the "other" involves different species. The construction of
human identity, more so in the Western world, has been inseparable from
anthropocentrism, a human-centered worldview, and from "speciesism."
As analyzed in Peter Singer's Animal Liberation, speciesism follows the same
logic as racism or sexism: it establishes an absolute gulf between one group
("humans") and another ("animals"), it claims the former is
superior to the latter, and it concludes that the superior group has the right
to exploit the inferior group. Interestingly, in every case of human domination,
both within and outside of the human species, the inferior group is designated
"non" or "subhuman," and therefore a complex politics
emerges around the discourse of "the human."
The
politics of human identity involve who gets to count as "human"; what
privileges subsequently accrue; and whether or not the "human,"
however broadly or progressively defined, is an adequate marker for the
boundaries of the moral community. Human identity is identity politics writ
large, and the consequences of human separatism and fragmentation from other
species are far more consequential than any form of identity politics
separating human from human (unless this should be so volatile as to erupt in
nuclear war).
Thus,
there is a desperate need for a new consciousness, for new cosmopolitan
identities, in the broadest and most literal sense of the term. Human beings
must begin seeing themselves not as citizens of one nation or another, but of
the earth, indeed, of the cosmos itself. Accordingly, human identity can only
be properly perceived in the context of cosmology and new ecological stories.
The old geocentric and anthropocentric stories are false, limited,
dysfunctional, and dangerous, wholly unsuited for the destructive power of a
technologically advanced civilization. Homocentric dramas need to be superseded
by cosmological narratives that situate human life in the larger evolution of
the universe. As Thomas Berry writes, "The story of the universe is the
story of the emergence of a galactic system in which each new level of expression
emerges through the urgency of self-transcendence." Despite the religious
overtones, this new story can be understood in strictly scientific terms of
dynamic, evolving matter, leading to ever greater complexity of life.
The
new cosmological narratives often seek to reconcile science and religion, using
science to explore the physical nature of the universe while retaining
religious sentiments as a source of meaning and reverence for life (re-ligere
means "to re-connect"). Unlike the mechanistic science of the modern
period which disenchanted the world, reduced nature to objects of manipulation,
and estranged human beings from the process of life, the postmodern science
developing in the last few decades is telling a new story, one that
reintegrates humanity into the entire drama of evolution, while bringing
science into contact with ethics and values, which previously science had
eschewed in the name of "objectivity."
It
is a promising sign that science, which has done so much to eradicate our ties
to life, is beginning to help rebuild these connections through new holistic
and ecological theories. We truly are "in between stories," and a key
task for the future is to continue to write a new story of creation, a cosmic
narrative that emphasizes our responsibilities in the larger community that
engulfs us, the biocommunity in which we are only one of millions of
interdependent, co-evolving species.
While
we are free to write our own social and ethical laws, we have yet to learn that
we must conform to the laws of nature. These are the laws of ecological balance
that are inconsistent with our burgeoning population, insatiable consumption
levels, and ideology of limitless growth. The new story will inform us that
humanity survives and flourishes not by opposing itself to nature, as the old
story has it, but rather by harmonizing itself with all that has come before it
in the multi-billion year odyssey of evolution.

Animal Law
An
important new book has just been published:
Frasch, Pamela D., Sonia S. Waisman,
Bruce A. Wagman, Scott Beckstead.
2000. Animal Law, Carolina Academic Press, Durham, North Carolina.
(780 pp.)
Here
are one reviewer's comments:
Here
is a book that fills a gaping void. Anyone who has seen the weighty book
shelves of law offices knows that law is a text-heavy field. But such is the
lowly status we afford animals that up to now no academic volume has been
devoted solely to the field of animal law.
This
book is an excellent primer for the law student or teacher in how animals are
interpreted and affected by the American legal system. By having placed in one
volume some two hundred carefully chosen cases from the widely scattered case
law literature, the authors provide a superb overview of their subject. They
also have done a great service by saving countless hours of research for the
student or practitioner of animal law.
It
remains to be seen just how quickly and deeply the field of animal law will
penetrate the academic law curriculum. This book is sure to provide it with a
resounding boost. One can hope with new optimism that the ranks of practicing
lawyers will become increasingly animal-savvy in the coming years, and that the
lot of animals will be made better by it.

The Ten Commandments for Pet Companions
1.
My life is likely to last 10-15 years.
Any separation from you will be very painful.
2.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3.
Place your trust in me -- it is crucial for my well-being.
4.
Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. You
have your work, your friends, your entertainment. I only have you!
5.
Talk to me. Even if I don't understand
your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to me.
6.
Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.
7.
Before you hit me, remember I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
8.
Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something
might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I've been out in
the hot sun too long, or my heart may be getting old and weak.
9.
Take care of me when I get old. You, too, will grow old.
10.
Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch
it" or, "Let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for
me if you are there. Remember, I love
you.

"Remembering Phoenix"
by Ljbeane1@aol.com
Karen Davis
PhD. is the founder of The United Poultry Concerns
She makes no
apologies.
Speaking
candidly and forthright
Her adamant
crusade exposes the cruel realities,
The brutal,
abusive facts of the Poultry Industry.
Chickens, one
of the worlds` most abused animals,
Have Karen as
their staunch warrior.
She reveals
the suffering of these gentle birds,
Conveying to
everyone the misery of their existence,
And the
brutality of their painful, terrifying death .
This is
Karen's mission.
It will not end
till every chicken is freed from the jaws of mankind.
Karen has a
great deal of heartfelt knowledge.
She has
experienced first hand the hatcheries hideous secrets.
Visiting one
such place, a Perdue house,
She rescued a
baby chick from the thousands at her feet.
This
magnificent little bird she named Phoenix.
For he, like
the mythical bird, rose from the ashes of the dead.
In this case
the living dead, the future feather dead birds of Perdue.
Her beloved
Phoenix lived 14 months.
Karen was with
him as he died of congestive heart failure.
Today Phoenix
lives on in her memory, a proud rooster,
Perched in the
upper left corner of the PoultryPress.
Though many
people feel they cannot care about a chicken,
Nor the
suffering of these non human animals,
Karen has an
uncanny ability to change their mind.
Her energized
talks have opened a lot of media blinded eyes.
Mean spirited
people such as Perdue fall victim to their own harsh realities.
Karen has a
special place in her heart for Perdue
With such
slogans as "Cluck You, Frank Perdue!"
Her unique
style and rhetoric is grabbing peoples` attention.
Karens`
greatest gift is her ability to empower people.
Showing them
the way to speak out for these gentle birds.
Exposing the
arrogant greed and inhumanity!
Making no excuses,
abandoning foregone conclusions,
Karen Davis
PhD. is a person who will succeed in her endeavors.
Remembering
Phoenix, that is her inspiration.
She seeks not
for self praise, she is selfless.
May we all be
inspired by her and in "Remembering Phoenix",
Add our voices
to the uproar.
Stop the
cruelty!!
Shutdown the
Poultry houses!!
Don`t pet one
animal while you eat another!
"CLUCK
YOU, FRANK PERDUE!!"
KAREN -- From
all the hearts of those of us who cry with you....
"YOU GO
GIRL, REMEMBER PHOENIX!"
