Guest guest Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 WELCOME TO OUR WORLD... From our laboratory cages, we hear the explosions and smell the huge clouds of smoke and debris fast approaching. Cover your faces, quick, people! Strange substances in the eyes are incredibly painful and can leave you blind. From the slaughterhouse, we hear, for the first time, what YOU sound like, screaming in terror as you watch others all around you dying and knowing that you are next. From endless rows of battery cages, we cry for those of you who remain alive inside the inferno, crushed together, unable to move, wondering if you will ever taste freedom again. From cold metal gestation crates, we mourn for your young ones who must grow up without their mothers' love, and for the mothers whose babies have been ripped away from them forever before they could even say goodbye. From your radios and televisions, we hear you sharing your shock and grief and disbelief. We hear angry voices, promising to avenge this evil and make certain that it never happens again. From every factory farm, slaughterhouse, research lab and circus cage, we hear your cries as you experience what, for us, is everyday life. Will you ever hear ours? By Fran Hutcherson On behalf of the billions of non-human victims for whom every day is September 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
