Letter to the Century. Vegetaranism, as well.

Dear Twentyfirst century:
How are you?
Good?
You liar.
Let's talk about your faults.
now, I'm not trying to knock you down and feel bad about yourself,
I'm trying to help you out with how to be better.
How to not suck.

First:
Get rid of these things, for these reasons:
-Hannah Montana. Her voice is shirl. Her lyrics are poorly written. Etc.
-Twilight. Including all the little fan girls. It is a porrly written book about sparkly, stalker vampire creap.
-Jonas Brothers. Poor lyrics. Poor sound. When asked what they like about the Jonas Brothers, most girls would say something along the lines of 'they're attractive'. That's.
-To add to that: These prissy, stereotypical teenage girls. Mostly in this high school. Each year the Freshman class gets, dare I say, sluttier and sluttier. More boobs and more ass show each year. And that's "the fashion". No. That's bull. Every day I hear at least one shril, high pitched girl voice, trying to get a boys attention.
Nobody wants to listen to your high pitched 'LOOK AT ME' voice. Shut up.
-The guys who wear their pants around their ankles. With a belt, usually. Doesn't make any sence to me. The other day, I actually saw a guy with the waist of his jeans at his shins. Mid-shin. He has a belt, which obviously wasn't serving it's purpose. I could see all of his boxers (dark green with a white line going down periodically) and the back of his knees. He didn't seem to mind. he walked pass many teachers, and nobody said anything, until i told him to pull his damn pants up. He raised them up just enough to reach the back f his knees.
Now, I remember the first time I saw Dan change. He accidently popped out, and was incredibly embarassed. I know that most guys don't like being exposed. So, what would have happened if this would have happened to him? Indecent exposure. Thank you.
-A man a while back swalled a Wendy's plastic untensil that was apparently in his food. He swallowed so much of it, that they could read the word "Fashioned" and most of the word "Hamburgers" on it. Everyone was point at the fast food place for not being careful about what was being put in- accidentally or not- their food.
My finger points at the man. Who SWALLOWED WHOLE enough of a spoon to be able to read parts of it. He was obviously eating (or drinking. It was two years ago) way too fast to notice that he swallowed part of a plastic utensil.

Animals. Let's talk about animals.
Zoos, Circus', pet stores, etc.
Stop.
Stop housing animals for your own entertainment.
The 21st century has gotten more and more selfish.
The sale of animal fur has been sloping downward since 2005, but is still much, much higher than it should be.
It should be zero.
Fur coats should not be made or sold in any way shape or form.
Certain people- farm owners, mostly- would try to make an argument saying that the animals breed in their famrs are 'breed' to make coats. Which doesn't make sence at all. That's like saying people are breed for toupees.
Animal "farms" is a sugar coated term. Hollywood and story books make famrs a friendly, enjoyable place for animals to live out their lives. Admitted, some farms are still like that. But most 'farms' now are small, to cut costs for the owner. Everything is for the owners benefit.
The chickens killed for their flesh are drugged, so they will grow faster. Often, their hearts, lungs, and limbs can't keep up.
Hens used for eggs are stored in battery cages, about the size of a file drawer. Not one per drawer. No. Six or seven per battery cage. They are living in their own filth, and you are eating their children.
Cattle are casterated, have their horns ripped out of their heds, and are branded, which is a third degree burn, without any kind of pain releif.
Cows used for their milk are drugged and 'bred to produce unatural amounts of milk'. Their babies are stolen from them soon after they are born and sent to notoriously cruel veal farms.
Mother pigs are confined in such small cags that they cannot turn around or lie down comfortably.
Turkeys' beaks and toes are burned off with a hot blade. Many suffer heart failure or debliterating leg pain.
When they have finallygrown big enough, they are put on trucks and sent to the slaughterhouse. If they are lucky to survive the hellish journey, they have even more hell to go through. They will then have their throats slit, may while they are still concious. Many are still concious when they are plunged into the scolding water of the defeathering or hair-removal tanks or while their bodies are being skinned and hacked up.
Circus' beat their animals to make them perform. Many young elephants have died in circus' from exastion and other avoidable medical reasons.
There are many, many animals at local shelters. Right now there are over 200 cats at the local humane society, here in Nashua.
Now, I feel pretty hypocritical for dating someone who has pure breed, top of the line dogs, even though there are an insane amount of nice, caring, loyal dogs that need love in humane societies around the world.
Animal cruelty laws should just be for cats and dogs. These animals are being put through a life of hell.
Nine billion chickens a year. About 25,000,000 a day.

41 million cows a year. About 112888 a day. Many die on the way to the slaughter house. Those who survive the journey are then shot in the head with a bolt gun, hung up by their legs, have their throats slit, and are skinned. Many cows are concious during this entire process. As one slaughterhouse worker has said, "they die piece by piece".
9.5 million pigs a year. 26, 400 a day. Piglets are taken from their mother at less than a month old. They have their tals ripped off, teeth pulled out, and are casterated. More than 1 million pigs die in transportation and an additional 420,000 are crippled a year. 97% of pigs in the US are "raised" on factory farms.
300 million turkeys a year. More than 830,000 a day. They are killed when they are about 5 or 6 months of age. Their throats are cut and feathers burned off, often while they are fully concious.
While reserching about why being a vegetarian is a smarter chouice for everybody, I came across a website that I haven't visited in a while.
GoVeg.com
Incredibly informational, and will even send you a free vegitarian starter kit.
After being on this website three times today, I relize why I never wanted to look at it again.
Pictures of dead and dying animals, destined for the slaughterhouse.
If you have any heart at all, the pictures and articles of this site will upset you.
More than you could ever imagine.
The pictures of the cows get from bad to worse. From the cows in their tiny, dirty pens, to the calves being locked up so their skin will "stay tight for veal", to them being hung by their ankles in the slaughterhouse. Even a picture of a cows head being sawed off by a worker with a blood splatered apron.
Apon more and more reserch, killing animals isn't good for anyone. Animals die. It's not healthy for you. And 1 in 3 workers will be servearly injured while on the job as a slaughterhouse worker. Mad cow disease is spread through our own cats and dogs by contaminated cows feet that is sometimes used in cat and dog food.


Writing this has made me physically sick.

I was forced to the nurses office because I "look like I'm going to die".

I went.

She was eating a ham sandwich.


Let's finish on a good note.
Writing this, I have become inspired.
To shut down animal farms around the world.
And to persue my long dream of opening my future home as a kind of retirment home for animals.
The old, the disabled. You know. The ones that need love on their last days of life, but are stuck in a shelter, with no hope of being adopted.
Face it. Most people want a puppy. Not a dog.
I want the elderly ones.
I want to give back to them, after someone abandoned them.
They just need love on their last days.
Everyone does.
Give back.
Become an animal foster parent.
Stop eating meat.
At least cut back.
Even just for a day.
Do it for the sake of humanity.
If none of us eats meat for just one day, we are saving a huge amount of animals.

Thank you.
