A 3 Year Old Child

Mon Jul 14, 2008, 2:34 AM
It's commonly accepted that a pig has the intelligence of a 3 year old child. Yet 95% of Australian pigs are raised in factories. They 'live' in tiny metal stalls that they can barely move in. Mother pigs are forced to watch helplessly as their babies scream whilst having their eye-teeth and tails cut off with no pain relief. For millions of factory farmed pigs the only time they will ever see daylight is on the last day of their lives when they're trucked in cramped conditions to the slaughterhouse.

By simply buying free-range pork, ham and bacon products rather than factory farmed you are helping to end this cruelty. Free range products are available from most Coles stores, meat eaters tell me it even tastes better! So please make this simple choice to give a better life to Australian pigs!

As you have probably noticed by now I've relocated a heap of my stuff from ~bones-wont-grow to here. It was too confusing having two accounts so I'm going to mainly use this one from now on for all my stuff. :)

pfft :P It was fine when a total of 3 people watched me on DA but now that was just plain embarrasing. I'll keep this one longer I promise.

I wasn't fully aware you could buy free range pork and such, but it makes sens that it would be available. I'll keep an eye out for it in the future. It may cost a little more, but I prefer free range eggs to (how can people feel ok about buying eggs that are latently labeled "cage laid eggs")

I don't think I'll ever go vego, but I do respect animals enough to know that they're alive they should have the opportunity to LIVE, and when they die, it should be in the quickest most humane nature possible.

Thanks for highlighting that :)

Go Ari! Sadly the conditions here in the UK are pretty similar for pigs and chickens :no:

As a rule I never buy pork but do buy Free-Range chicken and not only are they often much bigger than the battery ones, they do taste better too :)

I'm a vegetarian at heart for numerous reasons - when I lived in Canada I only ate beef from our cows and no other meat. Here I don't cook as much and my housemates aren't like-minded so veggie food is more of a novelty. Someday I want to have my own chickens though :D

Yeah, the conditions for chickens here are appauling too. But more people are aware of free range eggs than they are of free range pork, bacon and ham products - so i'll leave them for another post ;)

I'm proud of you! I love finding out people are vego's. :aww: I'm a strict vegetarian too (with short stints of attempted veganism - being gluten intolerant makes it a bitch) and I only buy eggs off local farmers - I grew up in the country and I know that if they're not eaten they rot! And they taste soo much better, I'll agree! But I'd love to get my own chickens and maybe even a dairy cow - I only drink soy milk. My housemates aren't like minded either, they always look at my food like it's from another planet :P

Awesome! :hug: It's usually only 2 bucks more a kilo but it is a little hard to find because not many people know about it. But as I said, try coles if you have a store locally. Gosh I don't know either! I always give people with cage eggs dirty looks at the check out lol.

I understand that vegetarianism isn't for everyone - I'd been cutting meat out of my diet since I was about 9. But I completely agree with you, if everyone can't become vegetarian then giving animals the life they were meant to lead naturally is the only way to go! It's not only better for the animals, it's better for whoever's eating it and the environment. Wheres the hippy emoticon when you need it ;)

I'm glad your sympathetic to the cause and willing to try it out!! :aww:

Hehe yeah :) I don't know if you've ever met Dunx, but he's a bit of a "hippy" like that. I believe he likes his meat, but he's very energy driven in that he believes that all life should come from positive energy. Do the right thing by your fellow humans and animals, and they will do the right thing by you (or at least taste better :P)
