Video: Bullock On Death-Row

~ theveganlily ~ 2 Comments

This is one of the most heart breaking videos. The video shows a bullock on death-row hearing a fellow bullock die before he too is killed . It doesn’t show blood or the bullocks’ deathblows but does show how this bullock reacts to what we do to him. He is terrified.
We have no valid reason to do this to other animals who feel and care about what happens to themselves. – Vegan Ireland.

By adopting a vegan diet, you can reduce your risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, cancer etc. You can also cure allergies and acne as well as improving sleep and boosting energy levels.
Your diet will be more friendly to the environment. You’ll be reducing your water usage as well as helping to preserve habitats and species across the world.
People are becoming more aware about how animal agriculture is unsustainable and often cruel, but it’s been proven that animal products are harmful to human health and the environment. If we don’t begin to make changes in our diets soon, we will be suffering serious consequences in just a few decades.

Help Put An End To Bull Fiestas – [Warning – Graphic]

~ theveganlily ~ 1 Comment

”Animal Equality investigators have infiltrated dozens of bullfights in Spain, documenting the cruelty and suffering animals are submitted to.

Every year in Spain over 16,000 celebrations with animal abuse take place. Animal Equality has documented events such as the cruel becerradas and novilladas, revealing unseen images of violence and brutality.

For several years, Animal Equality activists have travelled through Spanish regions, to investigate what really happens in these bullfighting events to shed light upon these cruel practices which kill thousands of animals each year.

Animals are beaten, stoned, kicked and chased by vehicles until collapsing exhausted whilst small calves, less than two years old, suffer an agonizing and painful death. These are just some of the findings revealed during the investigation which uncover the enormous suffering that bullfights force upon animals.”

”In just a few weeks, a bull will be chased out of the town of Tordesillas by groups of men on foot and horseback wielding long spears as part of Toro de la Vega bull fiesta. The bull will be taunted, goaded and eventually stabbed to death – his killer will be celebrated and awarded. This terrible spectacle is just one of thousands of similar events held in Spain every year that inflict cruelty on bulls in the name of entertainment – events that are opposed by the majority of Spanish citizens.”

Why We Shouldn’t Eat Cows

~ theveganlily ~ 3 Comments

Millions of cows are killed each year for our food.  Cows are gentle, loving animals who deserve to be treated with more respect as beings who we share this earth with. If given the chance to connect or bond with one of these animals, you may change your view on slaughtering them by the millions each year for our own pleasure. Hopefully, these photos will bring to you one step closer to making the connection.

Enjoy!

How Changing Your Diet Can Help Lower CO2 Emissions

~ theveganlily ~ Leave a comment

More and more people are beginning to realise how damaging animal agriculture is to the environment and to the planet. Especially when it comes to CO2 emissions. 51% or more of total greenhouse gas emissions are caused my animal agriculture.

We can switch to energy-saving light bulbs and energy efficient vehicles, but if we want to make a more significant impact, we need to reflect on our diet.

The Carbon Foodprints of Different Diets

For each diet, researchers looked solely at the emissions associated with food supply, so they did not include those from consumer’s transportation, storage or the cooking of food.  Nor did they consider land use change emissions.
A Vegetarian’s foodprint is about two thirds of the average American and almost half that of a meat lover.  For a Vegan it is even lower.

Elephants Tortured In India And Thailand

~ theveganlily ~ 5 Comments

Baby elephants used in the tourism industry in India and Thailand are often torn away from their mothers, caged or tied to a tree, beaten with sticks that have nails attached to their ends, denied access to food or water for days.

Nail-tipped sticks

This treatment is carried out throughout their entire lives (Usually over 50 years).  Some even go blind from the constant hits to their heads.

Elephants and other animals in India and Thailand have little or no rights. Most spend their whole lives chained to the ground, some with sharp spikes around their legs.

The video below is about an elephant, Raju, who cried when rescued from 50 years of slavery.

”For 50 years, Raju the elephant was abused, held shackled in spiked chains and forced to live off scraps from passing tourists. All that changed when he was rescued last weekend by wildlife conservationists who said the animal cried when he was finally set free.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhrjTFSDqTU

Please do not ride elephants in India or Thailand and please do not feed the begging elephants. Demand animal rights laws to protect these innocent animals.

You can also sign a petition which demands that these animals are given the rights the deserve.

Why We Shouldn’t Eat Pigs

~ theveganlily ~ 5 Comments

Is it possible to want to eat innocent pigs after flicking through this gallery post?

Pigs are incredible, intelligent, gentle creatures. But most people who decide to put them on there plates every day, haven’t actually met a pig before or had the chance to connect with these beautiful animals. Hopefully, these photos will bring to you one step closer to making the connection.

Enjoy!

!

Pigs love cuddling, snuggling and sleeping nose to nose. They dream, just as humans do.  They enjoy listening to music, playing, exploring and sunbathing.

Newborn piglets learn to run to their mothers voices and respond to their individual names. Mother pigs who are nursing, sing to their piglets.

Pigs are actually very clean animals. If given enough space, they will not soil in the same area that they sleep.

“I know of no other animals [who] are more consistently curious, more willing to explore new experiences, more ready to meet the world with open mouthed enthusiasm. Pigs, I have discovered, are incurable optimists and get a big kick out of just being.” -Biologist and Johannesburg Zoo director Lyall Watson.

Where Dubai Needs To Step Up – SeaWorld

~ theveganlily ~ 4 Comments

After the release of Blackfish, SeaWorld has experienced a significant drop in attendance. ”Blackfish tells the story of Tilikum, a performing killer whale that killed several people while in captivity. Along the way, director-producer Gabriela Cowperthwaite compiles shocking footage and emotional interviews to explore the creature’s extraordinary nature, the species’ cruel treatment in captivity, the lives and losses of the trainers and the pressures brought to bear by the multi-billion dollar sea-park industry.” To watch Blackfish, click here.

Blackfish Trailer.

Despite the drop in attendance at SeaWorld, they are still planning on expanding in the Middle East. There have been plans to open a SeaWorld in Dubai by the year 2020.

Below, is a link to a petition which asks the government of Dubai to not open a SeaWorld.
”SeaWorld is already one of the worst examples of wild animal abuse in the history of the United States and SeaWorld should not be allowed to exist in Dubai as well.  SeaWorld is absolutely barbaric in terms of what they are doing to these poor marine animals they have in captivity at their theme parks. In the wild, killer whales are the king of the ocean and they swim 100 miles per day. In confinement, they are living in a tiny swimming pool that is the equivalent to a human living in a bathtub. They feed the whales and dolphins drugged fish to keep them docile and brain dead and they starve them as a tool to force them to perform tricks.”

SeaWorld and marine parks profit from keeping orcas and other marine animals in captivity, despite evidence that captivity not only induces unnatural behaviours in whales, but also endangers trainers. You can pledge not to visit SeaWorld until they empty their orca tanks by clicking the link below:
