As Americans are bailing out our banks and our auto industry, Italians are giving millions to save a failing cheese industry. It seems that another industry fueled by the suffering of others is set to topple. The stimulus given to revive it is seen as a futile attempt to save what animal rights advocates have been trying to stop for years.

I've noticed a lot of you reading this site so i thought I would pass on a little something i got from one of my favorite places, Food Fight! Vegan Grocery.
Here's a list of all the fur farms in Oregon in case you want to get out and do some outreach (fliers, letter writing, pamphlets, etc.)
Let's get out there and make this a better x-mas season for all those locked away on these farms who have no freedom and no voice.

I found this trailer for a new movie called Processed People. Its about the undernourishment and overeating in the American diet. Looks like it presents a great case for veganism.
Check out the Processed People website for more info.

Wanna be Eco-friendly this winter? WEAR FUR! The FCC or Fur Council of Canada is marketing this masochistic 'fashion' as this winter's hottest eco-trend. There campaign is in full force to convince people that fur is the oldest and most popular form of environmentalist fashion (link).
I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. This is the strangest marketing strategy I've ever seen. Check out these adds below to really be tripped out. I cant believe they used a picture of a guy roasting something that looks like a head in an ad for environmentalism.
My favorite quote from the furisgreen.com website is this :
"fur also makes sense if we want to protect nature."WTF! This is a perfect example of saying the opposite of what is actually true and hoping people believe it. Their website should have said:
"Research shows that most animals prefer to be anally electrocuted and skinned alive
rather than live out a full and happy life in the wild."
To quote a devote student of the fur trade Adolf Hitler, "in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility."
Please get informed about this issue of "green washing" the fur industry. Don't believe the lies.

Do you think that fur is 'green'?
