Video of battery hen facility in aftermath of Katrina

September 10, 2005

Good friends & compatriots,

I'm passing this along after a dear friend sent it to me & I found it quite

disturbing, albeit not surprising. It reminds us how the average human being

routinely treats our fellow creatures, in this case chooks, who are among the

most vulnerable of all victims of George W. Bush in the aftermath of this

horrific tragedy that largely could've been ameliorated if not avoided, had the

funding for levees against the mighty Mississippi been adequately funded instead

of being illegally used by Bush's Pentagon cronies behind Congress's back to

finance the war in Iraq before 9/11/01. I suspect the footage herein was taken

from a helicopter, judging from the low moaning sound, probably from the engine.

I only wish the cameraperson could've used a zoom-in lens for a closeup of what

exactly these men were doing to the hens as they grabbed, tossed and shoved them

into the narrow slats of the trucks by their wings. Sorry to be the bearer of

bad news, but this speciesist hyocrisy has to stop bloody soon!

Namaste,

David

" Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the

president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he

himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he

efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact

extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the

country. "

--Pres. Theodore Roosevelt, 1908
