Halloween Is Just Around The
Corner
by JJswans@aol.com & Demnyjets@aol.com
In order to give you time to prepare, we would
like to bring you some animal friendly suggestions for Halloween. Check
with your local humane society or animal rights group to get animal friendly
flyers to hand out to trick-or-treaters, or to their parents. Some people
are trick-or-treating for their local shelters, asking for dog cookies or kitty
treats. PeTA has a new website of vegan candies and treats that can be
given out to children, as recommended by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Even if you aren't handing out treats this year, it's a good list to have of
vegan candies. You can check them out at:
Halloween Treats
http://peta.org/feat/halloween01/index.html
If you are hosting a party for Halloween, or just
like to collect vegan recipes, this website has lots of mummy (oops, I mean
nummy) suggestions:

For online friends, who you can't host with
ghoulish treats, this website offers free Halloween post cards to send:

And this one offers not only multiple websites
with free greeting cards, but has clip art as well:

Of course the most important thing is to keep our
companion animals safe during this time of year. Unfortunately, some
people's idea of fun is harmful to animals, and some people just don't realize
the dangers, so please note the following tips:
* Don't leave companion animals unsecured or outside unattended. There
are too many people who enact their own brand of satanic rituals on innocent
animals, or think of animal torture as fun. Be sure to protect horses and
other livestock as well.
* Be aware that little humans dressed in strange costumes, knocking on the
door, can be confusing or frightening to cats and dogs, which not only
jeopardizes those little humans, but also can give both cats and dogs an
opportunity to escape out the open doorway, into the night of unsavory
characters as mentioned above. Keeping your pet confined to another room
will prevent accidents.
* Be careful with Halloween candles and decorations around our four-footed
friends. Whether knocked over, or ingested, they are trouble waiting to
happen.
* If you are involved in animal rescue and adoption, this is not the time of
year to be placing black cats. Many shelters close down adoptions
completely the week before Halloween. If you see ads for animals
"free to good home," let the advertiser know about the dangers of
adopting at Halloween.
* Animals are creatures of habit, so be aware that the excitement of Halloween
and the changes from normal can be disconcerting to your companion
animals. Make allowances, protecting them, and understanding if they do
things a little out of the norm.
* Most importantly, keep chocolate away from dogs and cats. Make sure the
smallest goblins in your house don't sneak them treats from their bag.
Candy wrappers are also dangerous to the digestive system, and can smell good
enough to eat. Instead of candy, how about some vegetarian dog biscuits:
Vegetarian
Dog Biscuits
http://www.doggieconnection.net/recipe/vegetarian_dog_biscuits.html
* And finally, if your dog is one that really,
really enjoys dressing up, and some dogs do, make sure to use a costume that
isn't too restrictive, that doesn't limit eyesight (which might cause someone
to startle the dog and cause a bite), and be sure to refrain from using rubber
bands. Too often veterinarians have had to amputate ears or limbs when
someone has forgotten to remove a rubber band and it has imbedded in the
skin.

Even Spookier Than Halloween
Though this article isn't specifically about
animals, we bring it to you to help allay any fears of current threats of
terrorism. It is, of course, good advice for our companion animals as
well.
The "Real" Deal
about Nuclear, Bio, and Chem Attacks
by SFC Red Thomas (Ret)
from Artemisd123@hotmail.com
Since
the media has decided to scare everyone with predictions of chemical,
biological, or nuclear warfare on our turf I decided to write a paper and keep
things in their proper perspective. I am a retired military weapons, munitions,
and training expert.
Lesson number one: In the mid 1990s there were a series of nerve gas attacks on
crowded Japanese subway stations. Given perfect conditions for an attack less
than 10% of the people there were injured (the injured were better in a few
hours) and only one percent of the injured died. 60 Minutes once had a fellow
telling us that one drop of nerve gas could kill a thousand people, well he
didn't tell you the thousand dead people per drop was theoretical. Drill
Sergeants exaggerate how terrible this stuff was to keep the recruits awake in
class (I know this because I was a Drill Sergeant too).
Forget everything you've ever seen on TV, in the movies, or read in a novel
about this stuff, it was all a lie (read this sentence again out loud)!
These weapons are about terror, if you remain calm, you will probably not die.
This is far less scary than the media and their "Experts," make it
sound.
Chemical weapons are categorized as Nerve, Blood, Blister, and Incapacitating
Agents. Contrary to the hype of reporters and politicians they are not weapons
of mass destruction they are "Area denial," and terror weapons that
don't destroy anything. When you leave the area you almost always leave the
risk. That's the difference; you can leave the area and the risk; soldiers may
have to stay put and sit through it and that's why they need all that spiffy
gear.
These are not gasses, they are vapors and/or air borne particles. The agent
must be delivered in sufficient quantity to kill/injure, and that defines
when/how it's used. Every day we have a morning and evening inversion where
"stuff," suspended in the air gets pushed down. This inversion is why
allergies (pollen) and air pollution are worst at these times of the day.
So, a chemical attack will have it's best effect an hour of so either side of
sunrise/sunset. Also, being vapors and airborne particles they are heavier than
air so they will seek low places like ditches, basements and underground
garages. This stuff won't work when it's freezing, it doesn't last when it's
hot, and wind spreads it too thin too fast. They've got to get this stuff on
you, or, get you to inhale it for it to work. They also have to get the concentration
of chemicals high enough to kill or wound you. Too little and it's nothing, too
much and it's wasted.
What I hope you've gathered by this point is that a chemical weapons attack
that kills a lot of people is incredibly hard to do with military grade agents
and equipment so you can imagine how hard it will be for terrorists.
The more you know about this stuff the more you realize how hard it is to use.
We'll start by talking about nerve agents. You have these in your house, plain
old bug killer (like Raid) is nerve agent. All nerve agents work the same way;
they are cholinesterase inhibitors that mess up the signals your nervous system
uses to make your body function. It can harm you if you get it on your skin but
it works best if they can get you to inhale it. If you don't die in the first
minute and you can leave the area you're probably gonna live. The military's
antidote for all nerve agents is atropine and pralidoxime chloride. Neither one
of these does anything to cure the
nerve agent, they send your body into overdrive to keep you alive for five
minutes, after that the agent is used up. Your best protection is fresh air and
staying calm. Listed below are the symptoms for nerve agent poisoning.
Sudden headache, Dimness of vision (someone you're looking at will have
pinpointed pupils), Runny nose, Excessive saliva or drooling, Difficulty
breathing, Tightness in chest, Nausea, Stomach cramps, Twitching of exposed
skin where a liquid just got on you.
If you are in public and you start experiencing these symptoms, first ask
yourself, did anything out of the ordinary just happen, a loud pop, did someone
spray something on the crowd? Are other people getting sick too? Is there an
odor of new mown hay, green corn, something fruity, or camphor where it
shouldn't be?
If the answer is yes, then calmly (if you panic you breathe faster and inhale
more air/poison) leave the area and head up wind, or, outside. Fresh air is the
best "right now antidote." If you have a blob of liquid that looks
like molasses or Kayro syrup on you; blot it or scrape it off and away from
yourself with anything disposable. This
stuff works based on your body weight, what a crop duster uses to kill bugs
won't hurt you unless you stand there and breathe it in real deep, then lick
the residue off the ground for while. Remember they have to do all the work,
they have to get the concentration up and keep it up for several minutes while
all you have to do is quit getting it on you/quit breathing it by putting space
between you and the attack.
Blood agents are cyanide or arsine which effect your blood's ability to provide
oxygen to your tissue. The scenario for attack would be the same as nerve
agent. Look for a pop or someone splashing/spraying something and folks around
there getting woozy/falling down. The telltale smells are bitter almonds or
garlic where it shouldn't be. The symptoms are blue lips, blue under the
fingernails, rapid breathing. The military's antidote is amyl nitride and just
like nerve agent antidote it just keeps your body working for five minutes till
the toxins are used up. Fresh air is the your best individual chance. Blister
agents (distilled mustard) are so nasty that nobody wants to even handle it let
alone use it. It's almost impossible to handle safely and may have delayed
effect of up to 12 hours. The attack scenario is also limited to the things
you'd see from other chemicals. If you do get large, painful blisters for no
apparent reason, don't pop them, if you must, don't let the liquid from the
blister get on any other area, the stuff just keeps on spreading. It's
just as likely to harm the user as the target. Soap, water, sunshine, and fresh
air are this stuff's enemy.
Bottom line on chemical weapons (it's the same if they use industrial chemical
spills); they are intended to make you panic, to terrorize you, to herd you
like sheep to the wolves. If there is an attack, leave the area and go upwind,
or to the sides of the wind stream. They have to get the stuff to you, and on
you. You're more likely to be hurt by a drunk driver on any given day than be
hurt by one of these attacks. Your odds get better if you leave the area. Soap,
water, time, and fresh air really deal this stuff a knock-out-punch.
Don't let fear of an isolated attack rule your life. The odds are really on
your side.
Nuclear bombs. These are the only weapons of mass destruction on earth. The
effects of a nuclear bomb are heat, blast, EMP, and radiation. If you see a
bright flash of light like the sun, where the sun isn't, fall to the ground!
The heat will be over a second. Then there will be two blast waves, one out
going, and one on it's way back. Don't stand up to see what happened after the
first wave; anything that's going to happen will have happened in two full
minutes.
These will be low yield devices and will not level whole cities. If you live
through the heat, blast, and initial burst of radiation, you'll probably live
for a very, very long time. Radiation will not create fifty foot tall women, or
giant ants and grasshoppers the size of tanks. These will be at the most 1
kiloton bombs; that's the equivalent of 1,000 tons of TNT.
Here's the real deal, flying debris and radiation will kill a lot of exposed
(not all!) people within a half mile of the blast. Under perfect conditions
this is about a half mile circle of death and destruction, but, when it's done
it's done. EMP stands for Electro Magnetic Pulse and it will fry every
electronic device for a good distance, it's impossible to say what and how far
but probably not over a couple of miles from ground zero is a good guess. Cars,
cell phones, computers, ATMs, you name it, all will be out of order.
There are lots of kinds of radiation, you only need to worry about three, the
others you have lived with for years. You need to worry about "Ionizing
radiation," these are little subatomic particles that go whizzing along at
the speed of light. They hit individual cells in your body, kill the nucleus
and keep on going. That's how you get radiation poisoning, you have so many dead
cells in your body that the decaying cells poison you. It's the same as people
getting radiation treatments for cancer, only a bigger area gets radiated. The
good news is you don't have to just sit there and take it, and there's lots you
can do rather than panic. First; your skin will stop alpha particles, a page of
a news paper or your clothing will stop beta particles, you just gotta try and
avoid inhaling dust that's contaminated with atoms that are emitting these
things and you'll be generally safe from them.
Gamma rays are particles that travel like rays (Quantum physics makes my brain
hurt) and they create the same damage as alpha and beta particles only they
keep going and kill lots of cells as they go all the way through your body. It
takes a lot to stop these things, lots of dense material, on the other hand it
takes a lot of this to kill you.
Your defense is as always to not panic. Basic hygiene and normal preparation
are your friends. All canned or frozen food is safe to eat. The radiation poisoning
will not effect plants so fruits and vegetables are OK if there's no dust on
them (rinse them off if there is). If you don't have running water and you need
to collect rain water or use water from wherever, just let it sit for thirty
minutes and skim off the water gently from the top. The dust with the bad stuff
in it will settle and the remaining water can be used for the toilet which will
still work if you have a bucket of water to pour in the tank.
Finally there's biological warfare. There's not much to cover here. Basic
personal hygiene and sanitation will take you further than a million doctors.
Wash your hands often, don't share drinks, food, sloppy kisses, etc., with
strangers. Keep your garbage can with a tight lid on it, don't have standing
water (like old buckets, ditches, or kiddie pools) laying around to allow
mosquitoes breeding room. This stuff is carried by vectors, that is bugs,
rodents, and contaminated material. If biological warfare is so easy as the TV
makes it sound, why has Saddam Hussein spent twenty years, millions, and
millions of dollars trying to get it right? If you're clean of person and home
you eat well and are active, you're gonna live.
Overall preparation for any terrorist attack is the same as you'd take for a big
storm. If you want a gas mask, fine, go get one. I know this stuff and I'm not
getting one and I told my Mom not to bother with one either (how's that for
confidence). We have a week's worth of cash, several days worth of canned goods
and plenty of soap and water. We don't leave stuff out to attract bugs or
rodents so we don't have them.
These people can't conceive a nation this big with this much resources. These
weapons are made to cause panic, terror, and to demoralize. If we don't run
around like sheep they won't use this stuff after they find out it's no fun.
The government is going nuts over this stuff because they have to protect every
inch of America. You've only gotta
protect yourself, and by doing that, you help the country.
Finally, there are millions of caveats to everything I wrote here and you can
think up specific scenarios where my advice isn't the best. This letter
is supposed to help the greatest number of people under the greatest number of
situations. If you don't like my work, don't nit pick, just sit down and
explain chemical, nuclear, and biological warfare in a document around three
pages long yourself. This is how we the people of the United States can rob
these people of their most desired goal, your terror.

Urgent, Request Senators to
Co-Sponsor & Support:
1: "DOWNED ANIMAL PROTECTION ACT" (S. 267)
2: Leahy-Fitzgerald "FORCED MOLTING" Amendment, and
Akaka-Leahy "DOWNED ANIMAL" Protection
Amendment
to S. 1191 (the Senate Agriculture
Appropriations Bill). .
There is strong opposition to "Downed Animal Protection Act" now in
the Senate. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association wants to sell
"carcasses" of sick downed animals and expressed concerns about a
federal ban. Meanwhile, Rendering plants, which used to buy
"carcasses" for processing into "animal feed" and other "products",
now is opposing "Downed Animal Protection Act".
See: http://www.sltrib.com/10142001/nation_w/140214.htm
Let's
contact US Senators to urge them to Co-Sponsor and Support the Downed Animal
Protection Act and Forced Molting Amendments. Sample Letter below:
<><><><><>
SAMPLE
LETTER :
Please place your Name, Address at the Beginning and End of your letter.
Please state that you are a "Constituent(s)" or a "U.S.
Constituents" (if you live in US) :
From: Your Name,
Your Address,
City, State, Zip
U.S. Constituents or Constituents ( if you
live in US)
Re: Please
Co-Sponsor/Support Downed Animal Protection
Act.
Co-Sponsor/Support two humane Amendments to S. 1191:
Leahy-Fitzgerald Forced
Molting Amendments
Akaka-Leahy Downed Animal
Amendments :
Dear Senator ,
As a voter and concerned citizen, I'm urging you to support the
following Humane legislation:
Co-Sponsor/ Support the Downed Animal Protection Act (S. 267)
Co-Sponsor / Support the two Humane Amendments to S. 1191,
the Leahy-Fitzgerald Forced Molting Amendments and
Akaka-Leahy Downed Animal Amendments :
1) Please Co-Sponsor and Support Downed Animal Protection Act (S.
267): Senator Daniel Akaka had introduced S.267, the Downed Animal
Protection Act on Feb. 6, 2001. A bill to amend the Packers and
Stockyards Act of 1921, to make it unlawful for any stockyard owner, market
agency, or dealer to transfer or market nonambulatory livestock, and for other
purposes. The cattle industry wants to sell the downed animal
"carcasses" to the rendering plants. However, many articles
showed that Mad Cow outbreak may have been caused by animal Rendering plants. The Rendering plants
blend the raw product in order to maintain a certain ratio between the
carcasses of pets, livestock, poultry waste and supermarket rejects.
These are dumped into giant grinders at rendering plants, as are the entire
bodies of cows and other farm animals known to be diseased. About 75 percent of
the ninety-million beef cattle in America are routinely given feed that has
been "enriched" with rendered animal parts. The gruesome mix is
ground, steam-cooked, the lighter, fatty material floating to the top gets
refined for use in such products as cosmetics, lubricants, soaps, candles, and
waxes. The heavier protein material is dried and pulverized into a brown
powder about a quarter of which consists of fecal material. The powder is used
as an additive to almost all pet food as well as to livestock feed.
2: Akaka-Leahy Downed Animal Amendment - to Prevent funding for
inspections of meat obtained from "downed animals," farm animals
(cows, steer, sheep, and pigs) who, because of illness or injury, are
completely unable to walk. Currently, these animals are kicked, dragged,
prodded with electric shocks, and even bulldozed in an effort to move them at
stockyards, auctions and other intermediate markets, en route to slaughter. By
prohibiting inspections of meat from downed animals, the Akaka-Leahy amendment
will ensure that such animals can't be used for human food, thereby creating an
incentive to treat animals better so that they don't become too weak or sick to
walk.
3: Leahy-Fitzgerald Forced Molting Amendment - to Prevent taxpayer
funding, under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, for the
purchase of eggs produced at facilities that intentionally starve their hens
for up to two weeks
as a form of "forced molting." Forced molting, aside from being
patently inhumane, also dramatically increases the likelihood of salmonella
transmission to humans.
Ten Billions of sentient animals each year are killed for "food" in
U.S. Every day, billions of animals suffer from the horror, shock and
pain which is no less than the terror and tragedy in the World Trade Center.
The European Commission's activities on animal welfare now start with the
recognition that animals are "sentient beings". They recently
have many Legislations in force on animal welfare issues to set standards for
the welfare of animals on the farm, during transport and at
slaughter. The humane legislation for "agriculture" animals in
the United States is far behind the European Commission.
We will only vote for the legislators who is compassionate to the billions of
suffering "sentient" animals and concerned about our national
health. Please stop the very cruel selling and killing of crippled downed
animals for unethical profits. Please stop the very cruel unethical
"Forced Molting" in egg industry. All of these cruel
behaviors from the meat/dairy and egg industries are endangering American
public health greatly.
Thank you for your urgent help.
Sincerely,
*´`³¤³´`*:»§«:*´`³¤³´`*:»«:*´`*´`³¤³´`*:»«:*´`³¤³´`*:»³¤³´`*:»§«:*´`´`*:»«:*³¤³´`³¤³´`

Living Graves
We are the living graves of murdered beasts
Slaughtered to satisfy our appetites
We never pause to wonder at our feasts
If kine, like men, can possibly have rights
We pray on Sundays that we might have light
To guide our footsteps on the path we tread
We're sick of war - we do not want to fight -
The thoughts of it now fills our heart with dread.
And yet - we gorge ourselves upon the dead!
Like carrion crows we live and feed on meat,
Regardless of the suffering and pain
We cause by doing so. If thus we treat
Defenseless animals for sport or gain,
How can we hope in this world to attain
The peace we say we are so anxious for?
~ George Bernard Shaw, 1856 - 1950

Memorable Quote
"I don't myself believe that, even when we
fulfill our minimum obligations not to cause pain, we have the right to kill
animals. I know I would not have the right to kill you, however
painlessly, just because I liked your flavour, and I am not in a position to
judge that your life is worth more to you than the animal's to it."
