20/20 = 40 Jokers
by Robert Cohen - http://www.notmilk.com
There are 52 cards in a deck. Remove the
aces, kings, and queens, and you're left with 40 cards. How
symbolic. I just watched the award winning television show 20/20, and
came away feeling cheated. Their Mad Cow Disease segment was interesting
if not basic, but they left out all of the aces, kings and queens.
Fifty-two cards would have produced a winner of a program. Instead, they
loaded the deck with jokers. Such is the nature of an industry who
derives their revenue from... yeah, you guessed it. Those who they
pretend to monitor for the public good.
Television crews come and go. Their interviews last for two hours, then
the tapes go into post production. Weeks later, you watch yourself say 15
seconds of the least important aspect of your agenda. You wonder, what
was the point? Such is the nature of prime time network television.
As I watched 20/20's Mad Cow story, I should have known what was in store eight
minutes before Barbara Walters introduced the opening segment:
MAD COW DISEASE IN AMERICA.
Immediately preceding 20/20 was Regis Philbin's
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" As I was loading a tape into
my video recorder, a dairy industry commercial came on. There on my TV
screen was a Captain Hook-like pirate.
He entered a room filled with the meanest looking group of
sailors. On a
table was an enormous wedge of cheese. In place of the traditional hook,
the leader of the cutthroats uncovered a cheese slicer. Everybody
cheered. Over the screen was printed this message: Ah, the power
of cheese.
WHAT 20/20 MISSED
One can no longer give blood in America and not
be alerted to Mad Cow Disease. The questionnaire contains this query: Did
you live in England?
Scientists are in agreement. Blood can pass on the Prion particle
responsible for Mad Cow Disease.
Will 20/20 ever ask, "What is milk?" I would tell them that
milk is composed of dead red and white blood cells. The Food and Drug
Administration calls these cells "somatic cells." Milk with
more than 750 million somatic cells cannot legally be sold in America. It
takes just one Prion to become infected with Mad Cow Disease. Every
farmer in America knows that blood often flows from the udder to the
milk. In a sense, milk is nature's blood transfusion. If blood
components contain Prions (they do), then so does the milk from infected cows.
Many anti-dairy people refer to milk as white blood. That is essentially
what it is. The average dairy cow in America produces 24.5 quarts of milk
each day. During the course of that production, the equivalent of 20,000
pounds of blood will filter through her udder.
Ten pounds of milk are required to make one pound of hard cheese. Those
pirates would sooner walk the plank than come down with a disease that turns
human brains into sponges.
What else would I tell 20/20? More truths that would never make it to the
air.
I would tell them that the USDA has quarantined seventeen Charlois cattle in
northeastern Alabama. One animal from that same herd was sold to Canada,
and developed Mad Cow Disease.
I would tell them that twelve percent of the Alzheimer's brains stored in a
depository at the University of Pittsburgh were not Alzheimer's deaths.
Instead, they were the human variant of Mad Cow Disease.
I would tell them that Ralston Purina has fed ground animal parts to feedlot
cattle this year, despite an FDA ban. 20/20 reported that the practice
ceased four years ago.
We viewers learned nothing new from 20/20's so-called expose. In the
spirit of journalistic betrayal, Barbara Walters closed the piece by asking the
reporter if he would continue to eat steak. After his affirmative reply,
she wished him an enjoyable dinner.
I am left with the memory of Peter Pan's nemesis, Captain Hook. His right
hand was eaten by a giant crocodile, who also ate a ticking clock.
Tick tock, tick tock. Hook always had the warning of impending
doom. We've had the warning. Shows like 20/20 ignore their duty to
do what the FDA and USDA have also ignored. By protecting the cattle
industry, they betray people who may eat that ticking time bomb for their next
meal.

What's Wrong With
Genetic Engineering
Submitted by Bleu771399@aol.com
Genetic engineering is a radical new technology,
one that breaks down fundamental genetic barriers -- not only between species,
but between humans, animals, and plants. By combining the genes of dissimilar
and unrelated species, permanently altering their genetic codes, novel
organisms are created that will pass the genetic changes onto their offspring
through heredity. Scientists are now snipping, inserting, recombining,
rearranging, editing, and programming genetic material. Animal genes and
even human genes are being inserted into plants or animals creating unimagined
transgenic life forms. For the first time in history, human beings are becoming
the architects of life. Bio-engineers will be creating tens of thousands of
novel organisms over the next few years. The prospect is frightening. Genetic
engineering poses unprecedented ethical and social concerns, as well as serious
challenges to the environment, human health, animal welfare, and the future of
agriculture. The following is just a sample of concerns:
The genetic engineering and patenting of animals reduces living beings to the
status of manufactured products and will result in much suffering. In January
1994, then-USDA Secretary Mike Espy announced that USDA scientists had
completed genome "road maps" for cattle and pigs, a precursor to ever
more experimentation on live animals. In addition to the cruelty inherent in
such experimentation (the mistakes are born with painful deformities, crippled,
blind, and so on), these "manufactured" creatures have no greater
value to their "creators" than mechanical inventions. Animals genetically
engineered for use in laboratories, such as the infamous "Harvard
mouse" which contains a human cancer-causing gene that will be passed down
to all succeeding generations, were created to suffer. A purely reductionist
science, biotechnology reduces all life to bits of information (genetic code)
that can be arranged and rearranged at whim. Stripped of their integrity and
sacred qualities, animals who are merely objects to their "inventors"
will be treated as such. Currently, more than 200 genetically
engineered "freak" animals are awaiting patent approval from the
federal government.
Farm animal productivity:
Much genetic engineering is aimed at getting farm animals to grow bigger and
more rapidly. Yet health studies stress that people should be reducing their
intake of animal products: a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of chronic
diseases and increases life expectancy. Similarly, use of the genetically
engineered growth hormone BST (bovine somatotropin) to boost milk yields is
nonsensical, since not only should people be reducing their consumption of
dairy products but in Europe and the USA there is already a glut of milk.
Use of the artificial hormone, according to one of the major manufacturers,
Monsanto, puts cows "at an increased risk of clinical mastitis [a painful
udder infection]". Other side effects include indigestion, bloat,
diarrhea, leg and foot problems and anemia.
[Source: Information Sheet supplied by Monsanto to US farmers.]
Human consumers are also at increased risk of contracting breast and
gastro-intestinal cancer, according to Samuel Epstein, Professor of
Environmental and Occupational Medicine, University of Illinois.
[Source: Farmers Weekly, 1996, 26 January, p8]
Biomedical Research:
Another application is to develop new 'animal models' that more closely mimic
human illness. Using transgenic and knockout mice, researchers have created
animals with neurological disease, cancer, cystic fibrosis, severe arterial
plaque, sickle-cell anemia, liver damage and many other conditions. But
whatever miracles the new technology hopes to perform it cannot transform mice
into miniature people, and the results cannot be relied upon. In the case of
'cystic fibrosis mice,' the animals do become ill but
there are differences from the disease in people: most importantly, the
animals' lungs do not become infected or blocked with mucous as they do in
human patients. It is lung infections that kill 95 per cent of people with
cystic fibrosis
[Source: Editorial, Lancet, 1992, September 19, p702-703].
Retinoblastomas are tumors of the developing retina and are reported to arise
when a cancer-suppressing gene is disabled in some way. However, when a similar
gene is disrupted in mice, the animals do not develop retinal tumors. Robin
Holliday of the CSIRO Laboratory for Molecular Biology in
Australia explains that such differences should not surprise since
"tumor-suppressor genes and oncogenes [cancer genes] behave very
differently in mouse and man."
[Source: Nature, 1992, November 26, p305.]
Transgenic and knockout animals are also being used to test gene therapies.
However, the successful incorporation of genes into cells can be studied in the
test tube: one therapeutic approach is to remove cells from the human patient,
incorporate healthy genes into these cells in a test tube and, finally, return
them to the patient, in the hope that the introduced gene s will produce enough
healthy cells to remedy the illness. Ultimately, of course, it is clinical,
patient-oriented studies that give the most valid results.
Biological 'factories' (transplants/production of biological products):
A further application of genetic engineering is to produce animal organs for
transplant purposes. The Cambridge-based, Imutran, is one of the companies now
breeding pigs with a human gene in an attempt to create animal organs that will
not be rejected so easily during human transplant operations. In the past,
cross-species transplants (xenotransplants) always failed because the
differences between people and animals are so great. During 1995, reports
from Imutran indicated that transgenic pig hearts have been transplanted into
macaque monkeys, the average survival time being a mere 40 days. Nevertheless,
this is said to exceed expectations, so that human trials are anticipated in
the near future. The usual justification for using animal organs is a
lack of human donors. One possible solution that
could be investigated is to introduce an opt-out scheme (where organs are
presumed to be available after death unless otherwise indicated). The idea of
animal-to-human transplants was endorsed by the influential Nuffield Council on
Bioethics, so long as certain safeguards and ethical procedures were followed.
But, despite the existence of the transgenic pig, the Council saw major
problems and dangers. "Even if hyperacute rejection [in which the
recipient's immune system rapidly destroys the incoming organ] can be
controlled, there will be other immunological barriers to acceptance of the
xenograft by the recipient. There may also be biochemical and physiological
incompatibilities between pig organs and human beings."
[Source: Animal-to-Human Transplants - the ethics of xenotransplantation.
Nuffield Council on Bioethics, March 1996, p36]
Nuffield pointed to another major problem: "It is not possible to predict
or quantify the risk that xenotransplantation will result in the emergence of
new human diseases. But in the worst case, the consequences could be
far-reaching and difficult to control."
[Source: Nuffield Council report, p116] Nuffield was referring to the fear that
animal organs will contain unknown and therefore unscreened-for viruses and
other disease organisms that prove deadly to people. There must be
similar risks of contamination from animals genetically engineered to produce
pharmaceutical products, such as blood clotting factors, in their milk. Known
as 'commercial bioreactors', these animals represent another major business
application of genetic engineering. Some carefully-screened biological
products can be obtained from human donors, while non-sentient organisms, such
as genetically engineered bacteria and cells, could also be used.
Patenting animals:
Much of the storm over genetically engineered animals has focused on the right
to patent living creatures. Patenting animals reduces them to the level of
inanimate objects - mere 'inventions, to be exploited as deemed necessary. Patenting animals must also encourage more
experimentation, since companies have a major incentive to breed and market
these creatures before the patent expires. The first animal to be
patented, in America during 1988, was Harvard University's 'oncomouse',
designed to develop cancer. The patent applied not just to mice but to any
non-human mammal with an inserted
oncogene. Although several other transgenic animals have since been
patented in the US, the situation in Europe is yet to be finalized. In March
1995, the European Parliament rejected the idea of patenting living things, and
whilst it is the European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich (together with
individual patent offices in member countries) that is actually responsible for
the granting of patents, the Parliament's decision is an important ethical lead
and a strong signal to the EPO.
Conclusion:
The genetics revolution has provided even greater incentives for exploiting
animals. But there are also risks for human beings and the environment. For all
our sakes, genetics research must be subject to increased and impartial
scrutiny. You can find more information on this by going to the following

Last Call For MEATOUT 2001
from FARM - farm@farmusa.org
We
invite all animal activists to take part in MEATOUT 2001, the first Meatout
observance of the new millennium.
Please visit http://www.meatout.org, call 1-800-MEATOUT, or e-mail
register@meatout.org for a free Meatout 2001 Action Kit. Once you review the
Kit and register your event, we will send you outreach, display, and handout
materials and will publicize your event to other activists and the media. To
learn how easy it is to join this special observance, visit
http://www.meatout.org/you/activistcenter.html
Meatout is your special opportunity to inform
your friends and neighbors of the health, environmental, and ethical benefits
of plant-based eating. It's your opportunity to have them "kick the meat
habit on March 20 and explore a wholesome, nonviolent diet of grains,
vegetables, and fruits."
Never forget that every one percent reduction in the national meat consumption
prevents the agony and death of 100 million innocent, feeling animals - more
than the number victimized by all other human activities combined. If your
event turns only one person away from animal products, you will be
personally and directly responsible for saving 1,500 animals!
At this point, we expect approximately one thousand educational events
throughout the US and several other countries. Events reported to us thus far
are listed at http://www.meatout.org/html/meatout_events.html and subsequent
pages. Be sure that you are part of this list!

Week of Action for Ducks
from vivausa@earthlink.net
Viva!
(in the USA and UK) will be holding a Week of Action for Ducks before Easter
from April 7 - 14. We want to take the opportunity to educate the public about
ducks killed for food and the conditions they live in on factory farms.
With all of the Easter ducks out, this will serve as a great contrast to how
ducks on factory farms live. These events have proved to be useful in educating
consumers about all animals killed for food.
In the USA we will be asking activists to take the message to stores like Whole
Foods (Fresh Fields), Trader Joe's and Walmart SuperCenters. These stores currently carry duck meat from
factory farms from companies like Grimaud Farms and Maple Leaf Farms. In the US
24 million ducks are killed every year, they are de-billed, force-molted,
deprived of adequate amounts of water and thousands are boiled alive in
slaughterhouses.
Due to Viva!'s campaigning efforts in England, ducks are no longer de-billed in
factory farms.
Please get involved! For more details about these campaigns see our websites.

Another City Makes A Change
From Owner to Guardian
from - Neiel Cavin - neiel@idausa.org
BERKELEY,
Calif. - On Tuesday, February 27, the Berkeley City Council unanimously voted
to amend the city's municipal code and refer to people as the owner/guardian of
their companion animals instead of as their owner. The approved change
makes Berkeley the third, and the largest, U.S. city to grant official
recognition to companion animals as fellow creatures and not as mere property.
According to the Berkeley Citizens Humane Commission (the advisory commission
to the City Council on all animal related matters) the amendment signals a
paradigm shift that acknowledges companion animals as members of our families,
beyond their worth as mere commodities that can be bought, sold, and discarded
at an "owner's" whim.
The Berkeley City Council decision continues a string of recent victories
focused on elevating the status of animals. Last Tuesday, February 20, 2001, at
the request of West Hollywood, Calif. Mayor, Jeffery Prang, the West Hollywood
City Council voted to replace the term of owner with that of guardian in
reference to companion animals in the city's municipal code. Mayor Prang's
impetus to amend the city municipal code was strongly influenced by the
precedent setting, July 2000, decision of the Boulder,
Colo. City Council to replace the term of owner with that of guardian.
"A key reason for the campaign is to end the abuse and to save millions of
animal lives by encouraging people to adopt pets at animal shelters rather than
buy them in pet stores," said Rita Anderson of Boulder, who heads IDA's
They are Not Our Property, We are Not Their Owners campaign. "Last
year, 5 million adoptable dogs and cats were killed by euthanasia, while
"puppy mills" were producing thousands and thousands of dogs and cats
to be sold in pet stores."
"I am delighted that Berkeley has joined with the cities of Boulder and
West Hollywood," praised Dr. Elliot Katz, President of In Defense of
Animals. "This is another important step forward in changing the
consciousness of the American public regarding the animals they come in contact
with and that share their lives.
Dona Spring, Berkeley City Councilwoman, pleased with last night's unanimous
decision, called the vote, "A small step for person kind, a giant leap for
the animals."
Similar guardian amendments are proposed for the state of Rhode Island and the
cities of Chicago and San Francisco.

DOL Hazes With Helicopter
from Buffalo Field Campaign - buffalo@wildrockies.org
The
Montana Department of Livestock (DOL) fired cracker rounds from a helicopter
today to haze fourteen bull bison along the Madison River. The helicopter
proceeded to haze the bison inside of Yellowstone National Park and flew as low
as 20 feet over the wildlife rich area. Later, the helicopter
hazed seven bulls in the Duck Creek area, six of which were already inside of
the Park. The DOL helicopter was assisted by nine agents on snowmobiles
and seven law enforcement agents from Gallatin County, Montana Highway Patrol,
and the National Park Service.
BFC volunteer Megan Fishback said of today's operation, "There is
absolutely no reason to haze bison in this area as it is never used for cattle
grazing and is prime wildlife habitat. By flying a helicopter at low
altitudes over the Park, they have severely threatened wildlife's chances of
surviving the winter."
Buffalo Field Campaign is opposed to the repeated and unnecessary hazing of
these animals, and remains adamant that bison be granted the same rights as
other wildlife. BFC volunteers have observed that bison hazed back to the
park during past DOL operations quickly return to the same area. Each
hazing action further depletes the bison's winter energy reserves.
DOL contends that cattle permitted to graze on public lands during summer
months are at risk of contracting the disease brucellosis and thus causing the
state to lose its brucellosis-free status.
However, Montana's position is neither supported by science nor endorsed
by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), the federal body responsible
for maintaining the state's brucellosis-free status. The summer grazing
on Horse Butte amounts to 172 cow/calf pairs. This grazing allotment
brings in less than $800 to the U.S. Treasury.
"This is a typical example of DOL wasting taxpayer dollars for no
reason. These bison pose absolutely no threat to anyone, yet they are
willing to spend thousands of dollars in a futile attempt to keep them inside
of Yellowstone," said BFC spokesperson Peter Leusch
BFC, Cold Mountain, Cold Rivers, and the Ecology Center Inc. have filed a
lawsuit claiming that DOL's Annual Operating Plan is illegal because it
violates the requirements for pre-monitoring of bald eagles. The Annual
Operating Plan must minimize harm to bald eagles nesting and foraging along the
Madison, Hebgen Lake, and Horse Butte. Since pre-monitoring was not done,
the agencies have no baseline data to determine the impacts of their actions on
the bald eagle population.
According to Peter Leusch, "Operations like today's are highly stressful
on eagles, and can cause reproductive failure. DOL and the other agencies
involved obviously have no regard for an endangered national symbol."
DOL OPERATIONS FAR FROM SUCCESSFUL
The Montana Department of Livestock (DOL) press release of 2/7/01 contains
factual errors that need to be addressed. DOL's claims on the number of
bison that they have "successfully" hazed are highly inflated and
their accusation that protesters have caused the failure of recent operations
is unfounded.
Hazing bison back into Yellowstone during winter is a completely futile effort,
and has been known to be so for years. While snow remains in the park,
bison will immediately return to the area they were hazed from. In many
cases, DOL repeatedly hazes a group of animals, seriously threatening their
ability to survive the winter by depleting fat reserves. DOL claims that
they have successfully hazed these animals, i.e. if they haze 10 bison for 5
days, they claim to have hazed 50 bison back to the Park. All of the
bison that DOL has hazed this season are currently outside of Yellowstone.
The federal plan for bison management describes in the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) the negative effects which hazing has on wild
animals. "Repeated hazing in early winter may produce weight loss
and poor body condition, which decreases the animal's ability to endure the
remaining
winter" (FEIS, Volume I, page 762).
According to BFC spokesperson Peter Leusch, "Elk, deer, moose, and
endangered bald eagles and gray wolves are all threatened when DOL agents
conduct a bison hazing operation. By continually running snowmobiles over
these areas, DOL makes it impossible for ungulates to get through the compacted
snow to forage."
DOL's claims that their recent hazing operations have failed because of actions
by protesters are not backed by any evidence. DOL's hazing operations
along the Madison river this winter have failed because low snow levels have
allowed the bison to outrun the snowmobiles and lose the DOL in the forest
along the river. During the winter of 2000, DOL failed on five separate
operations to haze one bull back to Yellowstone. There is absolutely no
reason to haze bison in this area as it is never used for cattle grazing and is
prime wildlife habitat.
DOL says that it is following a management plan that "includes actions to
protect private property, reduce the risk of brucellosis from bison to cattle,
and maintain a viable, free ranging population of Yellowstone Bison."
In reference to the management plan, Peter Leusch states, "The actions
that they are taking will accomplish none of their objectives, and will cost
the American taxpayer $45 million. This is a prime example of big
government bureaucracy at its worst.

Beware Feeding Grapes/Raisins
to Dogs
http://www.napcc.aspca.org/raisins.htm
The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center is aware
of recent reports of dogs alleged to have developed kidney failure following
ingestion of large amounts of grapes or raisins. Veterinary toxicologists at
the APCC are currently investigating these cases in an attempt to determine the
causative agents or disease processes. At this time the exact role of grapes or
raisins in these cases is unclear. Pet owners whose dogs have ingested large
quantities of grapes or raisins, or veterinarians managing such cases, are encouraged
to call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) immediately.

A Poem for the Ark
By Deborah M. Jones
http://www.catholic-animals.org
Through all ages, in all lands
Creatures suffer at our hands.
How can we repent the harm -
In laboratory and farm?
How can we give back the lives
Cut short by bolts, gas, shot and knives?
How can we the clergy tell
Of the ghastly man-made Hell
For the calf who, innocent,
All its life - in darkness - spent?
How can we make him aware,
Who sets the dogs to course the hare,
That God in Heaven has made them all -
And marks each sparrow in its fall?

Quote To Remember
"To
a man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable in the
sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter it is
at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man who causes it is a
criminal. But thousands of animals are uselessly butchered every day without a
shadow of remorse. If any man were to refer to it, he would be thought
ridiculous. And that is the unpardonable crime.
~ Romain Rolland (1866-1944)
