Christmas!
We call this time a quiet, silent, holy time.
Many think it is the celebration of love.
The best proof of this is, that God sent His Son to Earth to give love and peace to the people.
Although we speak of love during this time, we are doing something completely different.
With the animals.
The silent and holy night that we humans sing solemnly by candlelight, and accompany with animal corpses on our table, is for our fellow creatures another night, a night in hell, as well as every other night.
The piglet in the animal factory behind bars, lonely and injured, the dehorned cow on the chain that calls her newborn, the goose with the sick liver that can no longer stand, the chicken waiting for the transport, the furry animal in the cage suspecting his death …
As we Christians sing our Christmas carols and celebrate the feast of love, millions of our fellow creatures in the animal factories will fall victim to love, our love for human beings.
And while our children play the traditional game of ox and donkey, we will prepare the Christmas menu, the festive meal of love, and fill our belly with body parts of lamb, suckling pig, turkey, and whole.
We the liars, the Pharisees, the criminals of this world.

Dear Mark,
They’ve done the unthinkable.
Congress just sold out the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge – and all the wildlife that depends on it – to pass tax reform.
The Trump administration and Congress’ ugly pursuit of profits at any cost is putting wildlife and wild places in serious jeopardy – and Alaska has become the rallying point for their anti-wildlife agenda.
The message from this administration and Congress has been clear: they think that wildlife and wild places are worthless – and they will stop at nothing to pillage Alaska’s incredible landscapes.
Alaska is known as “The Last Frontier” for its unrivalled wildness and the diversity of animals that call it home. It is habitat for caribou, snowy owls, Arctic foxes, wolves, and all three species of North American bears – polar, brown and black bears. Nearly 200 hundred species of migratory birds make their way to Alaska each year from all over the world.
But if Congress and the Trump administration have their way, these creatures and so many others will be left out in the cold.
Defenders won’t let wildlife pay the price for unrelenting greed and the reckless pursuit of profits – and we know you won’t either.
We sent our footage to the company immediately and demanded that it drops the farm – but we have not received any response.
During two visits to Poplar Farm this autumn our investigators found pigs with open, bleeding wounds on their ears; severely lame pigs left in a pen with other pigs; pregnant pigs kept in barren, concrete pens without any enrichment and severely scarred pigs who appeared to be victims of aggression caused by the harsh living conditions.
In violation of legislation governing disposal of dead animals – intended to minimise the public health risk associated with diseased animals – two dead pigs were left out in the open yard overnight.One had clearly been shot in the head.
We are calling on Morrisons, and all supermarkets, to adopt a zero-tolerance policy on animal welfare breaches.Farms that leave injured and ill animals to suffer should be dropped immediately by retailers!
ACTION
