A stronger cold front is approaching Tasmania from the west and is also bringing areas of low cloud to the far southwest of WA. Patchy low cloud along parts of the Queensland east coast is due to a moist onshore airflow.

A disturbing new trend—"pet flipping"—has been getting a lot of attention this week.
Pet flipping involves a criminal picking up a pet, either by stealing the animal or claiming to be the pet parent of a missing pet, and then quickly selling the animal for a profit. Is your blood boiling yet? It gets worse!
According to Time, pet flipping is on the rise in cities including Kansas City, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The stolen dogs are often purebred and very valuable. In March, an Indianapolis man was arrested after a three-month investigation found he had been stealing dogs for years, mostly purebred German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls.
"Many of these pets are housed in puppy mill-like conditions until they can be flipped—no food or water, caged and sick," Dawn Contos, of Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, said in an interview following the arrest.
For tips on finding a lost pet, please visit our pet care section.
We'll be on Katie on Monday, July 22 to talk about pet flipping. Check your local listings and tune in!
I'll love my pet no matter where I get it from. Pet store, shelter, breeder, rescue, the alley. All animals are special to me.
I loved my dog with all his little imperfections and temperamental behaviour I loved him regardless and when I looked for another dog when he passed away after 17 years the last thing on my mind was if the new dog would have the same issues as the old one .. I looked at him and BAM i was madly in love .. 15 days later I spent 900 dollars at the emergency room with him and the months after that a few other hundreds .. taking him back never even crossed my mind .. your human kids are not perfect either .. it's disappointing to see so many posters in search of the perfect dog not just a dog, a companion ..
I do see the side of both concerns here: I adopted a little mix breed from rescue. She was 11 to 14 weeks when I got her. At the time she seem alright, but later on she showed behavioral issues she didn't show from the beginning. She didn't liked to be pet not even touched when eating or having a treat and she just cannot stand kids. This is something that has changed or improved a little, she's now 4 and I can pet her when she eats and a little when she has a treat. Dog park are a no if there are kids around, so she has to stay with a leash. My point to all this is, she is perfect and compliments my life beautifully. Yes, she has her issues but not something that cant be controlled and hopefully fixed overtime. Dogs from shelter can be perfect or not. Like mine, I didn't know she would have this behavior. On the flip side: my dad has had a lot of dogs over the years, must of them bough bc they were pure breed, supposedly perfect. Well, I got to say I still have a scar from when one of them decided to attack my hand for no real reason. I guess at the end, checking or not the background of the pet shelter or breeder, you don't really know what kind of dog you are getting until they show their true colors. I believe there's a perfect dog for each of us, its just takes looking and being patient.
my dog is a rescue dog my other dog was a shelter dog all animals deserve love your lame excuses are as lame as you are we don't give a dam about your excuses
As a pet transporter who has transported 100's of dogs and cats I have yet to run across this problem in the article... (hope I never do either). As far as breeders go, I only haul dogs from reputable breeders. I have never seen a puppy mill and hope never to see one either...
I myself have 4 cats a dog and a turtle ALL of them rescues they have either been found on my street or gotten from a rescue. They are my life and I am really not sure if I rescued them or they have rescued me!!!!
I see animals making people happy all the time whether they come from breeders or rescues they all need homes and people to love them.

We have got to stop this abuse of poor innocent creatures.
The worst place to puchase a dog is from a pet store. Don't you realize that you are supporting puppy mills by buying from them. I volunteer at my local shelter and there are so many wonderful loving dogs and cats awaiting homes. All my animals are rescues. I love them and they are great pets. Pet stores should not be allowed to sell puppies, and puppy mills should be illegal. Why isn't this considered animal cruelty when these poor dogs are living in horrendous conditions. They need to change the laws, and ban puppy mills and not allow pet stores to sell dogs or cats!
Bridgette you have no idea what you are talking about. Where do you think pet store puppies come from.From puppy mills, which are by the way quite legal and are regulated. A a rescue worker with many foster dogs from puppy mills I can tell you that they do have many health and behavior issues. Even the puppies. Most are taken too young from the mother znd miss out out the lessons she teaches them. They don't get any human socialization necessary for a young pup. And what do you think happens when you return a sick pupppy. They are put to sleep. They will not spend money on a sick puppy when they are seen as disposable. It's no different than store that thows away a broken plate or defective item. The "merchandise" is insured and they lose nothing. Supply and demand. If you can't sell puppies on ithe internet or in pet stores then there is no demand, no supply.
And another thing... shelter dogs are almost always at their peak for temperment! So it's your fault for choosing a dog with poor temperment if you were unwilling to train it properly. With puppies, you have no idea what you're in for because they have not grown into their personalities. So you are the problem... not the poor shelter dogs!

Selected: Rateče - Planica
The village has an expressed Alpine climate. Winters are long and cold, however its favourable position alongside the foothills of the Karavanke forests and pastures offers visitors an abundant number of sunny days, suitable for walking in the mountain forests and pastures.
Rateče manuscripts were discovered here dating from the second half of the 14th century. The originals are stored in Klagenfurt, while copies are on display at the church of St. Tomaž in Rateče. The manuscript of Rateče or Klagenfurt is one of the oldest written records in the Slovene language and thus an important historical recollection of the Slovene folk.
Planica is best known for one of the largest ski jumping hill in the world. It was at Planica, that the first human in history jumped over 100 m on skis, later also exceeding the 200 m distance. The Planica organisers prepare the hill for new surprising results each year...

From the Pentagon, a plea for budget normalcy
Monday - 9/17/2012, 5:09am EDT
The Defense Department says it's making reasonable progress toward achieving auditable financial statements. But Congress isn't helping much by constantly keeping the department guessing about what its actual financial resources will be.
Pentagon comptroller Robert Hale said he doesn't want to overpromise, but the department is fairly confident it can meet the 2014 and 2017 deadlines Congress and the Defense secretary set for audit readiness. But he said it would help a lot if the financial management professionals in the department — the same ones responsible for guiding the audit preparation effort &mdash ;weren't constantly scrambling from one budget crisis to the next.
"We've encountered unprecedented budgetary uncertainty in recent years, including no fewer than four shutdown drills and a long-term continuing resolution in 2011. Sometimes I think I spend most of my time planning for things I hope don't happen," Hale said. "Now we face the prospect of sequestration and yet another long-term continuing resolution. Dealing with these extraordinary actions is sapping the time we could be spending on other things including audit readiness. The single biggest thing Congress could do to help me is to return to a more orderly budget process."
DoD on track for 2014 audit
Hale's remarks came at a Friday hearing at which the House Armed Services Committee questioned department witnesses on progress toward Defense auditability deadlines. The department's first audit target is in 2014, when it's required to develop an auditable statement of budgetary resources.
Hale said he thinks they're about halfway there.
Robert Hale, comptroller, Defense Department
"Look, I'll regret this, but I think we're at midfield," he said. "But we've got momentum on our side, we've got the ball and we're on the offense."
The government's largest department is one of just two of the 24 CFO Act agencies that haven't yet received a clean opinion on its consolidated financial statements. And while's it's going to be a heavy lift, DoD financial managers say there have been numerous important turns in the road over the past year.
The Air Force and Navy received unqualified opinions on the existence and completeness of the vast majority of their equipment. Two major Defense agencies, the Defense Finance Accounting Service and Defense Information Systems Agency, received clean opinions on their own statements of budgetary resources. In addition, many of the department's senior executives had their own contributions to audit readiness incorporated into their performance reviews this year.
"It's not the primary performance goal," Hale said. "If you're a logistician, your primary goal is still logistics, but it's part of the subsidiary goals and we'd like to tie this as closely as we can to assessments and bonuses so that there's some tangible rewards for success and some change in behavior if we're not making success. I think we've got people's attention, but I'm a little less confident that they know what they need to do throughout the department. It's a major step forward, but I'm humble about all the things we need to do to get to audit readiness. We've overpromised and under delivered for a long time, and I don't want to be part of that. I wasn't to tell it as best we can and try to meet these goals."
Beth McGrath, DoD's deputy chief management officer, said the huge enterprise resource planning systems, which will be key to getting the department's books in shape, are now all meeting one standard. Within the past few months, DoD has finished testing the military services ERPs against a single Standard Financial Information Structure so that the data they produce can be integrated into a single departmentwide financial statement without extra workarounds.
Nonetheless, in the short term, she said, audits will rely on a mix of modern ERP systems and legacy IT solutions that grew up around specific business needs.
"I think the difference today, though, is that we truly are taking an enterprise perspective," she said. "We're lifting up and looking across the organization to say, 'What do I have, and how is it helping or not to achieve the business outcomes that we want?'"
Whole organization must be a part of the financial management solution
The department's various ERPs have a troubled history in terms of meeting their original cost and schedule estimates, as a recent DoD inspector general's report pointed out in detail. But McGrath said in many cases, where the systems have failed to meet their objectives, it wasn't an IT problem. Rather, it was because military organizations business practices didn't match up with the auditable, commercial business practices for which the systems were designed.
Beth McGrath, deputy chief management officer, Defense Department
"What we've really learned is that it can't just be the accounting team with the financial management solution. It must be the entire operation understanding the role that this capability plays within their overall execution," she said. "That, to be honest, has been one of the most challenging things. We must move away from the years of business practices that we've had into the new environment. There are a lot more controls in the new systems, such that you've got referential data integrity that are so important to achieving auditability and full accounting of the money."
But Marilyn Thomas, the Air Force comptroller, said ERP setbacks aren't necessarily the fault of the workforce or individual business process owners. Thomas said an assessment of problems with the Air Force's Defense Enterprise Accounting and Management System found that training was a big issue.
"The operational assessment pointed out that we had some big issues with change management," she said. "As we peeled the onion back, we talked to the workforce. The key thing they told us was, 'You taught us how to use the software. You taught us about the software. You didn't teach us how to do our job with the new system.'"
Gladys Commons, the Navy Department's comptroller, said her service had a similar experience with their ERP, which the Navy plans to roll out across the service at the beginning of October. She said leaders learned it's critical to communicate to the workforce that there are important reasons that business processes need to be standardized across the service.
"What we found is that they liked to establish ways to get their jobs done quicker, but they didn't realize the impact that it's having on the overall organization when they invent their own methodology and local business practices," she said. "So we have a major effort to standardize our processes and publish those standards so that everyone knows what they need to do."
The Navy also is circulating a five-minute YouTube video among sailors and marines emphasizing the notion that every part of the workforce has a hand in auditability, not just the financial management community.
Commons said she's hopeful both Navy Department services will beat the 2014 audit target. The Marine Corps expects to have an audit-ready statement of budgetary resources for fiscal 2012. The Navy hopes to follow at the end of 2013.

The free trial version works perfectly to recover lost data from corrupt hard drives and will also display a preview of the data recovered. However, it will restrict you from saving the data. To save the recovered data, you need to purchase the full version of the software.

Inflammation is correctly blamed as one of the root causes of both acute and chronic pain—and more. Not only does chronic inflammation underlie disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and other autoimmune diseases, it has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer, chronic heart failure, and neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

In humans, active periods of the debilitating disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can last for mere minutes or extend to weeks at a time. They're caused by lesions in the brain that develop, partly heal, and then recur. Research into a cure has been difficult, because to date scientists have not been able to replicate these brain recurring symptoms in laboratory mice. That's frustrating because these lab animals, known as animal "models," are the primary tool for research into the mechanisms and potential treatments for MS.

Human adenoviruses have been proposed as vectors for antigens in vaccines because of their ability to induce strong immune responses in animal models. But there is one major problem—patients that have already been exposed to such adenoviruses naturally develop antibodies against them, which then neutralize the vaccine before it has a chance to deliver its package.

Club competitions
National team competitions
26-7, 20-16, 22-17, 18-17
BCM Gravelines have one foot firmly planted in the EuroChallenge Final Four, easing past Joensuun Kataja 86-57 in game one of their best-of-three EuroChallenge quarter-final play-off series.
Joensuun Kataja, who were perhaps the biggest surprise to be at this stage of the tournament, found themselves completely outclassed in every facet of the game by their French opponents on Tuesday, who never looked remotely in danger of losing.
Despite snowy conditions outdoors perhaps reminding the Finns of the comforts of home, they were quickly reminded just whose court they were playing on as Yannick Bokolo brought the storm from outside into the arena with him, scoring nine first-quarter points to give his team a 24-7 lead on the buzzer.
Bokolo's early fireworks were somewhat dampened with the guard only scoring two more points for the remainder of the game.
The guests were offered little reprieve in the second quarter with the lead going beyond 20 points a minute out from the half.
Even after the break Gravelines refused to give Joensuun Kataja a sniff as head coach Christian Monschau opted to retain a relatively settled roster despite the game already beyond doubt.
Five Gravelines players finished in double figures, led by Dwight Buycks with 18. Asides from Bokolo, Julius Johnson contributed 15, Abdoulaye Mbaye 13 and Kennedy Winston 10.
Veteran Johnell Smith's stats made for the best reading for the guests as the playmaker picked up a team-high 15 points.
BCM Gravelines-Dunkerque player Dwight Buycks
"We played great defence from the beginning of the game and we got the flow going on offence. They missed some easy shots and that made the game easier. But they are definitely a good team and we'll have to bring the same mindset on Thursday."
BCM Gravelines-Dunkerque head coach Christian Monschau
"We achieved [our goal] to impose our game and rhythm on our opponent, we'll have to be serious once again on Thursday because it will not be an easy game."
Joensuu Kataja head coach Jukka Toijala
"We knew they are a tough team, that they are agressive and strong under the basket. We were watching things happen, not making them happen. We can do much much better on Thursday at home. Jermaine Flowers is a major part of our offence and we miss him now but nothing is over for the qualification."
Joensuu Kataja player Jerald Fields
"We have shown some character earlier in the competition and we'll show it again on Monday, we don't give up!"
Dwight Buycks

The Children's Justice Initiative (CJI) is a collaboration between the Minnesota Judicial Branch and the Minnesota Department of Human Services. The purpose of the initiative is for these two state entities to work closely with the local juvenile courts, social services agencies, county attorneys, public defenders, court administrators, guardians ad litem, tribes, and other key stakeholders in each of Minnesota's 87 counties to improve the processing of child protection cases and the outcomes for abused and neglected children.
The overall objectives are to improve child wellbeing and timely find safe, stable, permanent homes for abused and neglected children, first through reunification with the child's parents if that is safe or, if not, through another permanent placement option. When identifying and implementing improvements, the project's goal is for all stakeholders to operate "through the eyes of the child" so as to achieve child safety, permanency, and well-being.

Other Health Problems Related to the Use of Air Conditioning
Though it might seem like a great relief on a really hot day to immerse yourself in air conditioning, unfortunately, you may be damaging your health. Artificially changing the temperature in your environment is confusing to your body. Our bodies have evolved to synchronize to the temperatures of the season.
Plus, air conditioning has an irritating and drying effect on the eyes, nose and throat. Many people experience swollen sinuses, allergies, dry eyes, sore throats and other discomfort when they are in air-conditioned areas. Bacteria and mold can be easily and continuously dispersed by the recycled air, leading to lowered resistance to infections, as well as illnesses such as Legionnaires' disease, asthma and allergies.
If you do use air conditioning, it is critical that you clean the filters at least once a month.
Simply put: Microorganisms that inevitably are contained in air conditioners have a direct and sometimes severe effect on your immune system and your ability to breathe.

Knock Boxes
Knock Boxes, Knock Bins, and Dreg Drawers
A knock box is an essential implement for every semi-automatic espresso machine owner. It reduces the effort and mess of getting the spent coffee grounds out of your porta-filter. Instead of trying to dig the grounds out, you just invert the porta-filter and rap it down on the knock box cross bar to eject the spent "puck" of coffee grounds into the knock box. At the end of a brewing session you merely tip the knock box contents into the waste bin, or add the spent grounds to your garden composter!

- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration blamed the Department of Veterans Affairs for unsafe working conditions at a San Francisco, Calif. lab. Medical researcher Richard Din died after exposure to a meningitis virus. OSHA said the VA failed to follow safe handling and training procedures. Din handled bacteria in the open, not in a protective chamber and the VA did not give him a meningitis vaccine. VA closed the lab after the incident last April. It said it followed OSHA's orders before the final investigation report came out. (Federal News Radio)
- A survey of federal agencies suggested the Department of Homeland Security could give more help in securing federal buildings. Auditors at the Government Accountability Office said DHS could make it easier for the others to follow the security standards set by an interagency working group that it leads. GAO found most of the 32 agencies have managers that monitor and oversee physical security at individual buildings and most have documented performance measures for security. But two-thirds of them don't make full use of risk assessments to allocate resources. (GAO)
- The Postal Service said it no longer needs 800 experts in deciphering bad handwriting. PostalReporter.com reported the service is closing its Remote Encoding Center in Kansas. It is one of two remaining centers that specialize in reading poorly printed addresses. Even though it opened in the mid 1990s, the center's manager said it was always supposed to be temporary. Now the Postal Service's character-recognition technology can read 98-percent of hand-written addresses. The agency is reassigning 417 employees protected by union contracts. The other 380 workers will lose their jobs when the center closes. The Postal Service said that the job loses will occur in September 2013 at the earliest. (PostalReporter News Blog)
- The State Department wants to spread out in the District's Foggy Bottom neighborhood. The agency wants ideas from planners for building offices on the campus of the former Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The Pentagon deserted the campus in the last Base Realignment and Closure round. It is located between State's current headquarters and the Kennedy Center. The location is a historic property that the federal government has owned since the 1790s. The General Services Administration said it could become a state-of-the-art federal campus where history meets innovation and modernization. State Department employees now working out of private office buildings would move to the site. (GSA)
- In an apparent Hollywood first, a federally-funded propaganda movie has received an Oscar nomination. The Wall Street Journal reported that the 29-minute film "Buzkashi Boys" was funded by the State Department as part of a campaign to improve the image of the United States in Afghanistan. Director Sam French received a $220,000 grant from a public diplomacy fund. He used the project to train aspiring Afghan filmmakers. Buzkashi is the national sport of Afghanistan. Horseback riders compete to get a headless goat carcass across a goal line. (The Wall Street Journal)
- The House Oversight Committee is looking into suspected contracting fraud at the IRS. Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) asked acting Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin for more information. Issa said he learned of $500 million in contracts that went to Signet Computers. Issa said Signet's owner had a personal relationship with an IRS employee who works in procurement. He said the company appears to have had no federal experience before IRS, and that the agency may have set up the procurement so that Signet alone could win. (Federal News Radio)
- Federal employees worried about their agency budgets might also want to think about their retirement annuities. The government's unfunded pension liability jumped more than five-fold from 2010 to 2011. It currently stands north of $760 billion. Federal Times reported most of the deficit is in the Civil Service Retirement System. But the FERS accounts also went from black to red. The Office of Personnel Management attributed the jump to a revision of its long-term assumptions about rate of return on invested funds. The latest projection caught the eye of Sen.Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). He wondered how the government planned to cover the growing pension deficit. (Federal Times)
- Customs and Border Protection will issue furlough notices to employees in mid-March if Congress fails to stop sequestration. More than 5,000 border patrol agents and 2,700 customs officers would have to take up to 14 days off without pay.The National Treasury Employees Union made the announcement after talks with the agency.It said Customs and Border Protection considers furloughs a "last-resort" tool and that the agency will try to spread the furlough days out among the remaining pay periods of the fiscal year.

B.C. moves to end Metro Vancouver transport tussle
Transportation Minister Todd Stone is promising Metro Vancouver mayors new authority to set priorities for transit and road expansion, and a new deadline to decide if they want more funding sources.
Stone announced Thursday he will bring in legislation this spring to give local governments authority to set policy, decide on fares, deal with customer service issues and sell assets in the system. He called on the mayors to work with the current TransLink board, which has that authority until the law is changed.
"The ball will be firmly in the court of the mayor's council now," Stone told reporters in Vancouver.
Stone released a letter he sent to the mayors' group Thursday, giving them the option of avoiding a referendum on new funding sources in conjunction with next November' municipal elections.
The province "is willing to extend the referendum window to no later than June 30, 2015," as long as the mayors agree on new projects and costing by June 30 of this year.
If that deadline goes by without agreement on the basis for a plan, the referendum will be delayed to the 2017 municipal elections and the province will withdraw its offer to pay the costs.
NDP transportation critic George Heyman said Stone's announcement lacks details of the promised new authority, and repeats an offer for the chair and vice-chair of the mayors' council to join the appointed board that now controls policy.
The mayors were "blindsided" by Thursday's announcement and offered two seats on the board, which they rejected two years ago because they want full control, he said.
"The minister continues to threaten the mayors and hold sticks over their heads and give them deadlines," Heyman said.
Stone's offer includes a promise to provide one third funding for a replacement to the aging Pattullo bridge, which is designated as TransLink's sole responsibility.
Stone previously told municipal officials they can avoid a referendum if they decide to use their existing authority to raise property taxes to fund new roads, bridges and transit.

The EP Kings downed the Boland Cavaliers 25-20 in the opening round of the Currie Cup First Division, while there were also wins for the Griffons, Leopards and SWD.
With the game close for 70 minutes, it took a late SP Marias try to steal it for the Kings in Wellington, the fullback diving over a ruck to score the decisive points of the game.
In George in Friday's other match, SWD ran in six tries and Kurt Coleman kicked five conversions and two penalties in a 46-8 victory over the Border Bulldogs. The host's pack was completely dominant and created an excellent attacking platform for their dangerous backs to exploit.
On Saturday in Potchefstroom, the Leopards earned a hard-fought 32-23 victory over the Pumas. Leopards winger Danie Dames scored a hat-trick in a match where only poor goal-kicking prevented the hosts from winning by a greater margin.
In Kempton Park the Griffons won a thriller 37-27 against the Valke. The latter scored five tries to the former's four, two from Tertius Maarman in the last 10 minutes which earned an invaluable away win for them.
Boland Cavaliers 20 (5) - Tries: Jacquin Jansen (2). Conversion: Elgar Watts (2). Penalties: Watts, Ricardo Croy.
Eastern Province Kings 25 (17) - Tries: George Whitehead, Cornell du Preez, SP Marais. Conversions: Whitehead, Wesley Dunlop. Penalties: Whitehead, Dunlop.
SWD Eagles 46 (27) – Tries: Alshaun Bock, Elric van Vuuren, Jean Jacques Rossouw, Dumisani Meslane, Johan Herbst, Cornelius Rautenbach; Conversions: Kurt Coleman (5); Penalty: Coleman
Border Bulldogs 8 (8) – Try: Chrislyn van Schalkwyk; Penalty: Ntabeni Dukisa.
Leopards – 32 (15) Tries: Danie Dames (3), Allister Kettledas, Ernie Strydom; Conversions: Adriaan Engelbrecht (2); Penalty: Engelbrecht.
Pumas – 23 (17) Tries: JW Jonker, Jaco Bouwer. Conversions: JC Roos (2); Penalties: Roos (3).
Valke 27 (24) - Tries: Sandile Ngcobo, Marco Kotze, JW Bell, Reg Muller. Conversions: Karlo Aspeling (2). Penalty: Aspeling.

The ASPCA is excited to announce the launch of a new farm animal campaign focusing on the plight of chickens raised for meat (often called "broiler" chickens). Roughly 8.5 billion chickens are raised in the U.S. annually, most on squalid factory farms where there is no government oversight of their treatment.
The issue is not just the treatment of chickens, though: it's that modern chickens are selectively bred to grow so large, so fast, that they struggle to simply move or stand.
Today's chickens are bred to have such massive and disproportionate bodies that they often collapse and spend most of their lives lying helplessly in their own waste. Many have open wounds, which act as gateways to infections that can be passed on to people. Don't be fooled: Most chickens who wind up on American dinner plates bear no resemblance to the healthy-looking, active birds you may have been led to expect.
The ASPCA is calling on the chicken industry to do better—but to make sure they're paying attention, we need to show them that people like you care about how chickens are raised, too.
Visit TruthAboutChicken.org to learn more, then add your voice to the chorus of concerned Americans asking the chicken industry to change its inhumane practices.
By insisting on slower-growing chickens and better conditions, we can reduce suffering and raise healthier birds who may be less likely to spread dangerous infections like salmonella. But to get the chicken industry to move in the right direction, they need to see that people like you are paying attention—and counting on the industry to do what's right for chickens and consumers.
We need you on our side: Please tell the chicken industry it's time for slower-growing chickens raised in safer, more humane conditions. Speak out today by adding your name to our Truth About Chicken petition.
I find it annoying when people can't speak their mind without someone calling them a freak. Maybe these believes are not yours, but what are we children on the playground?
Youre right, I'm just tired of people attacking meat-eaters. It's ignorant and serves no purpose to the discussion. People are always going to eat meat so lets just talk about how it can be done humanely.
I agree with Anonymous, let's focus on how raising animals for consumption can be done humanely.......Way more people are cruel with greed then humane. It would help if more people could put the effort in and investigate their purchase to avoid buying from inhumane breeders to help get the message out to them that we are not going to buy their products but this would only make an impact if a lot of people did it......and sadly their is soooo many people who just don't care.
Amen NiFi. I also wrote a comment about the use of the word freak when you disagree with someone. I can only assume the writer has a limited vocabulary and is unable to express an opinion without resorting to name calling. The main theme of this forum is the atrocities happening in factory farms.
Deborah, pay attention to the conversation. I do not have a limited vocabulary just tired of people attacking meat-eaters. If you read my reply to Nifi you'll see I was the one who made the point that we should be talking about how to do this humanely not attacking meat-eaters.
Like most people, I grew up eating steak, chicken, hot dogs, eggs, etc and didn't think anything of it until I came across video of factory farm animals not only being "raised" and slaughtered inhumanely but being tortured by workers. This runs ramped around the world. Hence, eating animals is condoning their torturous, agonizing, miserable lives. I have seen love and contentment from my dogs and cats and then I have seen sheer agony from animals living on factory farms. Animals are beings capable of reproducing and they feel pain physically, they feel torment, they are afriad, more like petrified of people who mistreat them and the list goes on so I understand Carol's statement about eating animals is being inhumane. Yes, animals do eat one another in the wild but people are not animals and people can choose to eat a vegetarian or vegan diet and do things like not wear fur, leather, suede and so on. Like me, Carol is a very loving, caring and compassionate human being who realized the torment animals go through to end up on your plate, on your feet, on your wallet, on your coat and so on.
Saying people aren't animals is just ignorance and lack of true scientific knowledge, the same knowledge that showed you what plants you have to eat to give you the same nutrition as one piece of meat, saying we're not animals would be like saying dogs don't have personality's! cause that would make them people not animals. You're just full of yourself and refuse to see the natural side of life, which is the side you're actually supporting when you treat animals right. I raise cattle too and they all have names and personality's too but after twenty years of love and care that they wouldn't get in the animal kingdom it's time for them to earn their keep and feed my family so we can continue to feed theirs... everything is give and take and everything must earn its place or the world would collapse, I mean can I have people feed and clean up and heal me when I'm sick just cause I have a personality? hell no! animals and people were put on earth to provide for everything and maintain life on this planet, its called an ecosystem and without balance it would fail and nothing would live on this planet not even the most basic life form. And if people aren't animals then whose to say plants are plants and can you tell me 100% that a plant can't feel pain? what just cause it doesn't make a sound to let u know that means it doesn't feel? that's like sayin a deaf mute cripple doesn't think cause they can't express their thoughts.
A big problem with completely condemning the consumption of meat is that you lose the attention of those who "aren't quite there" in awareness. I think it takes a pretty evolved sensitivity level to realize what you have already and actually take the steps to stop eating meat. If we first take steps to point out the inhumane treatment in farm factories maybe one day we can get people to stop eating animals and animal products; go vegan! That day will be wonderful.
The issue at hand is how chickens and other animals are raised for human consumption. I have seen any number of videos showing the horrors of factory farms. Animals spend their entire, albeit short lives in tiny cages. They cannot sit, stand or even roll over. They are prodded with electric probes and their babies are taken from them at birth causing great distress to the baby and the mothers. The conditions of these "farms" is terrible and filthy. The AG-GAG amendment would prohibit any worker in these hell holes from reporting the abuse or face a large fine and possibly jail time. Let's go after these corporations that treat animals so atrociously and not waste our time belittling one another on forums such as this one. Name calllng will benefit no one. Please, a little courtesy and more attention to the evidence.
