Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re abuse of farm animals, you wrote: >You would be hearing about it in the local news >regularly - they love this kind of story. Well, as someone has responded, it has to be 'news' and such abuse is kinda taken for granted. 'News' is if someone tries to expose the abuse, to protest the abuse, to stop the abuse. (And then the news becomes about stopping the protestors, of course, thus distracting from the real story of animal abuse.) I am not maligning journalists here - they have a job to do and they do it. Wrong kinds of stories just don't get published and too many unpublishable stories means no rent money. Some brave ones file them anyway. There are also books written on the subject, not just newspaper articles that are later used to wrap the garbage. And as a postscript, you will know about the FARM movement of course.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I remember when I was first put on Premarin, andthen I learned of the horse abuse that was going on. I entered an AOL chat room for horses to ask the people, since they were horse lovers if they had heard of the abuse etc. I was shocked at the nasty reception I got. The general consensus was that I should shut the hell up and go somewhere else. I was shocked.
