Please come help out tomorrow. What: Anti-slaughterhouse demonstration When: Monday, November 9, 5 p.m. Where: City Hall, 714 Ridge Rd., Lackawanna Please join local animal advocates to challenge the opening of a live-animal market and slaughterhouse within the city of Lackawanna.
A live-animal market and slaughterhouse does not fall under federally mandated guidelines established through the Humane Slaughter Act passed by Congress. This means animals may be fully conscious when their throats are cut. Animals then will be hung upside down by one leg and left to bleed out, kicking and screaming for up to an hour in most cases. Often, these poor animals suffer from injuries while dangling on these hoists.
Local activists need concerned citizens to join them to protest the building of such a facility in Lackawanna. Please help them pass out leaflets and hold signs, which will be provided. Just bring yourself and anyone you can recruit to join you. Contact Jeffery L. Termini at 716-380-7667 or humanehuman@roadrunner.com for further details or to RSVP...or just show up as I said I'd be bringing people!!
Again: What: Anti-slaughterhouse demonstration When: Monday, November 9, 5 p.m. Where: City Hall, 714 Ridge Rd., Lackawanna
Please cross-post this message and forward it to others who might be interested in standing up for animals killed for their flesh.

Governor Patterson is doing a poll on whether people support his decision. Take 5 seconds to lodge your support, just call 1-518-474-8390. You will talk to a live person from the Governor's office during business hours. Just say "I support the Governor's position on same sex marriage," then give them your 5 digit (New York) zip code.
Or go to http://www.ny.gov/governor/contact/index.html and click on the link to e-mail the Governor. Or do both! It only takes a minute to let him know you support him in his fight for equal rights.
Done and Done. Took me less than 3 minutes to do both. Thank god for a more progressive Gov in this state (even though he really did wait for cali first, but hey. who cares??) Spitzer seeing a whore was the best thing to happen to the NY GLBT community in years. haha

Hillary Clinton makes presidential bid 5.52, Sat Jan 20 2007
Hillary Clinton is planning to form an exploratory committee for the 2008 presidential race.
She made the announcement on her website where she stated: "I'm in. And I'm in to win".
The second-term US senator from New York is considered a frontrunner ahead of five other candidates in the Democratic White House field.
The move is the first step toward a full presidential bid.
She said: "I am forming a presidential exploratory committee. I am not just staring a campaign though, I am beginning a conversation with you, with America.
"After six years of George Bush it is time to renew the promise of America."
The wife of former President Bill Clinton made history with her bid for US Senate in New York in 2000, becoming the first former first lady to win one of the most powerful political jobs in the nation.
Clinton, 59, was re-elected by a huge margin to a second Senate term last November.
One of these things is not like the other...one of these things does not belong...
This image from AOL's welcome screen last night just amused the hell out of me. The two women are all peaches and cream, all-american, happy scrappy and jammed in between the two is pasty manson. oooohhhh...so amused by this. haha
Okay, after seeing a few different lists of movies that have been going around on lj and myspace where you mark which ones you have seen and take a tally, Bliss and I decided to come up with a list of horror/slasher/thriller/dark/disturbing movies that we have seen. We stopped at 220 because it was getting ridiculous (even though we keep coming up with more and more and more). So, for those of you with some time on your hands, I'm really curious to see which of these you have seen too. So, ummm yeah.
i had a dream that i was in the car with someone who started playing a Cure cd, and that i really liked it. and suddenly i was a cure fan, and wondering how i was going to break that news to you.
hehehe i love you sara! i still say that this was a horrible nightmare though. horrible horrible horrible nightmare. i would have woke up screaming ;)
Best New Fur Foe: Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor After watching PETA’s video footage of an undercover investigation of the fur trade in China—where millions of cats and dogs are killed for fur every year—iconic NIN frontman Trent Reznor was so moved that he agreed to narrate it.
This makes me crazy happy. lol :) yes, I'm a dork.
In honor of the ritual animal slaughter that has taken place, and is being celebrated tomorrow, I present to you a little story spun by none other than Mr. Neil Gaiman. Enjoy and "Happy" Thanksgiving.
Babycakes Neil Gaiman
A few years back all the animals went away. We woke up one morning, and they just weren’t there anymore. They didn’t even leave us a note, or say goodbye. We never figured out quite where they’d gone. We missed them. Some of us thought that the world had ended, but it hadn’t. There just weren’t any more animals. No cats or rabbits, no dogs or whales, no fish in the seas, no birds in the skies. We were all alone. We didn’t know what to do. We wandered around lost, for a time, and then someone pointed out that just because we didn’t have animals anymore, that was no reason to change our lives. No reason to change our diets or to cease testing products that might cause us harm. After all, there were still babies. Babies can’t talk. They can hardly move. A baby is not a rational, thinking creature. We made babies. And we used them. Some of them we ate. Baby flesh is tender and succulent. We flayed their skin and decorated ourselves in it. Baby leather is soft and comfortable. Some of them we tested, We taped open their eyes, dripped detergents and shampoos in, a drop at a time. We scarred them and scalded them. We burnt them. We clamped them and planted electrodes into their brains. We grafted, and we froze, and we irradiated. The babies breathed our smoke, and the babies’ veins flowed with our medicines and drugs, until they stopped breathing or until their blood ceased to flow. It was hard, of course, but it was necessary. No one could deny that. With the animals gone, what else could we do? Some people complained, of course. But then, they always do. And everything went back to normal. Only... Yesterday, all the babies were gone. We don’t know where they went. We didn’t even see them go. We don’t know what we’re going to do without them. But we’ll think of something. Humans are smart. It’s what makes us superior to the animals and the babies. We’ll figure something out.
