Guest guest Posted November 20, 2000 Report Share Posted November 20, 2000 Dear President Clinton, I realise that you are the outgoing President of the USA but I would like to appeal to you to take action against the terrible cruelty inflicted on millions of animals in the USA every day. I recently received a video from the USA showing the barbaric and cruel deaths of pigs, goats, sheep and cows in an abattoir in the USA. I watched in horror as the most beautiful animals were shot through the head with a bolt gun and then had chains attached to their legs while they were hauled up into the air. Several times the slaughterman missed shooting them in the right part of the head and he had to shoot them again because they were still kicking. Some of the pigs huddled in the corner as they watched their little mates shot in front of them. This truly made me want to cry. Pigs are highly intelligent animals as shown in the film " Babe " . Some of the animals were still conscious during their slaughter. I watched the slaughterman cut their throats and gallons of blood washed down into a drain hole. Then the slaughterman cut out their insides and started to saw them up. The slaughterman had to hose away a lot of the blood as the animals were dismembered. I urge you and your family to declare meat eating as an evil habit that is causing barbaric cruelty to animals and ill-health to the people who eat the animal's flesh. Please help stop this cruelty now. People will listen to you so please take action now. I hope you are also aware that the promotion of meat eating in the rest of the world by American based fast food companies is contributing to ill health in the countries concerned. I have never seen so many people eating highly processed, fatty junk food as is happening in my country now. People in Australia are becoming increasingly obese as the computer promoted sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy fast foods create a nightmare for health professionals. The promotion of meat eating in countries like Australia is also ruining the environment as huge amounts of bush and rainforest are cleared every minute of every day to make more pasture for grazing meat animals! Our native animals are dying along with the bush. Please show the rest of the world that the USA is not the cruel and barbaric place for animals as shown on my USA slaughterhouse video. Please endorse vegetarianism as the best path for the USA and the rest of the world to follow into the new century. Kind regards, Marguerite Wegner (Western Australia) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2000 Report Share Posted November 20, 2000 Good letter, Marguerite! Did you know Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, is a vegetarian? We could insert that fact somewhere in the letter (for more weightage), I guess!
