No Animal Cruelty Please!
Hey, folks! It's been a while since I last updated myself on animal cruelty following the completion of my presentation last year. So, today, I visited the Animals Australia website to check out some news. It's really a fulfilling read as I have gotten myself much knowledge. I was truly struck by how Animals Australia described factory farming: "These facilities are literally animal prisons where tragically the victims are the ones who are behind bars." Well, who would have realised that? But it is, somehow, very true! As I read on to find out more, I met Lucy, the campaign pig! Oh, she's such a sweetheart! Lucy Pig is an ambassador of Animals Australia who is on a mission to save her family and friends from suffering by raising awareness of factory farming among consumers. She literally travels around Australia ---- she has visited Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart and Tasmania ---- and delivers letters to supermarket managers to urge them to end factory farming! In her blog, Lucy mentioned that Sir Paul McCartney once said that "If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian." Well, yeah, I totally agree! If that could help end the sufferings of all animals raised in factory farms, I would say, that's a great idea! Here's something you might not know. I learnt from Lucy that "raising animals for food is one of the largest contributors to global warming"! So, if any of you out there who are taking action against, or even care to think about, global warming, then you should definitely fight against animal cruelty! Don't worry! If you have no idea where to begin, go and visit the Animals Australia website first. You will find out loads about the ought-to-know secret of the industry that have long been kept safely away from us consumers. Then, you might want to know what Lucy is up to all these while. Well, you can check her out on her blog and become a fan of Lucy Pig's Campaign Trail on Facebook! Come on, people! It's time to take action to fight for the rights of those helpless animals! Let's banish animal cruelty and give way to animal welfare!
