40 million turkeys each year have their beaks and claws cut off without anesthesia.  Factory farmers cram tons of thousands of turkeys into single warehouses, where disease, smothering and heart attacks are common.  At the slaughter house, turkeys have their throats slit while they are still conscious.  Those who miss the automated knife go into the  scalding tank fully conscious are boiled alive.
NEW YEAR'S WISHES

May you never. ever, at dinner, have to sit across from lower humanoids
who pick their teeth with bones
May you only break bread with fellow vegans.
May you learn to understand your cat (this one is both a blessing and a curse.)
May you find at least one more way to avoid products that exploit animals or a way to champion their many causes(veganism is a path, there is always more we can do)
May you find enlightenment and the blessings that you deserve as an animal protector.
May you find love in your heart, and the place in your home to shelter one more homeless animal, or at least to make life a more pleasant experience. for one of the many beings who don't have the good life we have..
May you have peace and love and happiness in the new year and forever.

A Place in Nature
by Marguerite Wegner


I call on sun and wind and rain,
to put Earth in order again
I call on scientists to stop
genetically engineering the crops.
For those subjecting animals to hell,
to stop the slaughter houses as well.
and of people to multiply much less
to relieve the Earth of overpopulation stress
For mankind to return the earth to a time
when peace and harmony reigned divine,
and greenhouse gasses were unknown,
as across the world mankind did roam.
If mother nature, you hear my plea,
and return the bounties to the sea,
I will try to spread the word
that overfishing is absurd
Please give us all a second chance
and allow us your beauty to enhance
with human children born to know
to respect nature as they grow.
