These cows are not objects. They are living and breathing and alive just like us. They feel pain and fear just like we do.
According to Islamic tradition, the animal is brought to the place of slaughter and laid down gently so as to not injure it. The blade must be kept hidden until the very last moment while the jugular of the animal is felt. The conventional method used to slaughter the animal involves cutting the large arteries in the neck along with the esophagus and vertebrate trachea with one swipe of an non-serrated blade. Care must be taken that the nervous system is not damaged, as this may cause the animal to die before exsanguination has taken place. While blood is draining, the animal is not handled until it has died. If any other method is used its meat will not be halal. Several other conditions are also stated: the knife’s blade should be extremely sharp yet not be sharpened in front of the animal, the animal must not be slaughtered in front of other animals,[2] and the animal’s eyes and ears must be checked to ensure its health and suitability for slaughter. If it is deemed to be healthy, it is given water to drink (to quench its thirst). The animal should then be stood to face the Qibla, and the actual slaughter can begin.
And did they have to break the cows’ tail? Does it make their pathetic lives working at the abattoir a little more interesting?
It all looks more haram to me than halal.
Alvin and the Chipmunks was playing on TV when I was doing the dishes. Which raises a question…what is the difference between a chipmunk and a squirrel? Chipmunk belongs to the squirrel family together with marmots and woodchucks. Which leads to another question…what is the difference between a marmot and a woodchuck. A marmot is a large ground squirrel…
Woodchucks belongs to the marmot family. The name woodchuck or also known as groundhog, isn’t actually related to wood chucking. It is from a Native American term, wuchak.
And stumbled onto this rather interesting tongue-twister from Wikipedia…
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could
if a woodchuck could chuck wood
Was searching for groundhog and woodchuck vids and viewed this one. I couldn’t believe the owner was recording and not doing anything to stop the kill. The rodent is basically harmless. The poor groundhog must be so frightened trying to fend off an anmial more than twice its size. Killing for food is still acceptable but killing and torturing for entertainment and fun is just disgusting. An act that only sick people would do. Hope the owner of the dog ran into an animal twice its size and suffered the same fate. Ha.Ha.Ha.
shows that polar bears, like most animals, do not belong in captivity. Knut was only 4. Polar bears can live up to 25 years or beyond. Being a celebrity since Knut was very young, it was reportedly displaying abnormal behaviour from human attention. Humans contributed to Knut’s death.
there was earthquake, flood and tsunami in these parts of the world…it’s payback, humans.
I was browsing EddieWong’s blog minutes ago whilst having toast and kopi-O for breakfast and saw this post of his, about rabbit being crushed and so I did a little more research. This is what i found…The story. I didn’t watch the video because i don’t want to and i don’t think i can. I don’t even know the words to describe how i feel. Can the world get anymore sicker? Crush fetish? If someone really has a fetish for crushing, it’s alright crushing stuffed toys, fruits or things that are not alive but live rabbits? How can anyone even bring themselves to do that? It is pure torture.
The annual massacre is starting soon, all because you and your family watch dolphin shows at theme parks. This is how the dolphins for the shows are obtained. As for the ones that don’t get selected…
I thought about this many, many years ago. Something doesn’t feel right about dolphin shows or any sort of animal shows. Quote Ric O’Barry “You have to see dolphins in the wild to understand why captivity doesn’t work”. Dolphins are mammals that swim the ocean, but are captured, confined within a tiny space and made to perform tricks to amuse lame people like you and your children. People who have nothing better to do on their holidays and have to resort to watching dolphins jump up from and back down into the water. Watching these shows means you are actually playing a part in the mistreatment of these animals. Not knowing how to swim, I will never be able to realize a wish to have physical contact with a dolphin but I refuse to attend a dolphin show just to be near a dolphin.
There may be accusations and controversy surrounding the parties involved. But does that matter? The fact is the dolphins’ blood is spilling. That is all that matters. That is all I care about.
A person’s true nature is judged from how he or she treats an animal.

A puppy’s ears and tail were cut off with scissors in an act of cruelty so sickening it left welfare workers in tears.
Buckley, an eight-week-old border collie cross staffordshire bull terrier, was found abandoned in a school yard on Saturday, July 11, and taken to a veterinarian in Sydenham, in Melbourne’s northwest, the Moonee Valley Leader reports.
Lost Dogs’ Home manager Sue Conroy, who is looking after Buckley, said it was one of the worst cases of animal cruelty she had seen in 23 years. “I’ve had staff crying,” she said. “The puppy would have received no anesthetic and would have made a lot of noise. “He would have been in unspeakable agony”
Ms Conroy said staff had treated his wounds with ointments and administered pain relief and antibiotics. She said the puppy “was not ready to be adopted just yet”. His hearing will not be perfect, but he’s not deaf. But mentally, he’s is still traumatised and is hiding from people.”
There is nothing the puppy could have done to deserve this. The man who committed this doesn’t deserve a to be jailed or fined. He deserves to have his ears hacked off too, just so that he knows how it would have felt.

The rest doesn’t matter. I don’t know the technical side or bureaucracy of the oil spill. Don’t want to know or care about the explanations or excuses as to why there isn’t an ‘Off’ button to stop the flow. All i know is that humans have been oiling for decades and it is ridiculous that there isn’t something as simple as a stop button in case of a spill. It’s as simple as that. BP and all parties involved, thank you for this…
What is the point of apologising when the damage is already done?
I thought The Cove is another Blair Witch type film but it is actually a true documentary about Dolphin drive hunting.

These bears are the lucky ones. The World Society for the Protection of Animals has rescued them from the bloodsport of bear baiting. They’ve been saved from a gruesome contest no animal can win.
With only soft toothless gums to defend themselves, the bears are tethered in terror. Then the onslaught begins. What happens next is so horrifying we simply can’t show you.
But i can. And let me show you just how sick we are. Watch.
How about Human Baiting next? Or dancing a Human Baby by tugging on a chain that runs through the baby’s nose. Wouldn’t that be highly entertaining to watch?
