Ask Rosie O'Donnell to Discontinue Her Promotion of Cow Cruelty

 

Every Friday is " Wear Leather Day " on The Rosie O¹Donnell Show.

This is bad news for the animals who are killed for their skins,

suffering castration, branding, tail-docking, and dehorning before

being made into a pair of pants or a jacket simply for vanity.

 

Overseas, animals killed for leather endure such horrors as forced

marches in staggering heat for hundreds of miles without food or

water, suffocation from illegal overcrowding in transport trucks,

and violent beatings. Both cows and calves have chili peppers

or tobacco rubbed into their eyes and their tails deliberately broken

in an effort to keep them moving after they have fallen down from

exhaustion, malnutrition, and dehydration. In China, dog skin

is marked as " cowhide " and sold for export.

 

Remind Rosie that every time someone buys a leather product,

he or she is sentencing an animal to a lifetime of suffering.

 

Ask Rosie to join the millions of consumers who realize that

" hairless fur " is something we can do without, and encourage her

to promote the many stylish and durable alternatives to leather

that are so widely available.

 

Please call or write The Rosie O¹Donnell Show, and ask that

she discontinue promoting the cruel skin trade.

 

Please send Registered mail directly to Ms. Rosie O'Donnell if you

can. (This should directly go to her instead of staff opening the

letter) :

ASK HEALTH CENTER TO CHOOSE COMPASSION OVER

CRUELTY

 

Hillcrest Health Center has assured PETA that individuals

participating in the center¹s endotracheal intubation (ETI)

training exercises scheduled for October 23 and 24 will be

offered the choice of learning ETI on kittens or on patient

simulators. Since patient simulators are humane, more

effective, and readily available, there is no excuse for using

kittens as living props.

 

Skills learned on cats cannot be applied to humans because the

anatomical differences between cats and humans are too great.

The advantages of non-animal ETI training have been demonstrated

in the literature as well. An Annals of Emergency Medicine study

detailed the high ETI success rates achieved by paramedics

trained on manikins exclusively. In addition to their high performance

rate, " 88 percent of the manikin-only group felt confident

in their ETI skills during their first actual encounter and [felt] that

their first human ETI was no different than their repetitive practices

on the manikin. "

 

Please write Hillcrest Health Center and ask that it make the

compassionate choice to eliminate its use of kittens in cruel

and outdated ETI training exercises. Write to:
