>gay-bashing, and the deaths of Matthew Shepard and Gwen Araujo. I imagine it

>is much the same as African Americans must have felt when they were

>constantly in danger of being lynched in this country, or Jews when they

>were under threat of extermination in Germany.

>

>It is this same kind of hate that makes it acceptable for animals to suffer.

>People say that animals have no souls and therefore do not suffer. At one

>time people said the same thing about slaves who were kidnapped from Africa.

>Homophobia, Racism, and killing all come from the same basic place.

>Hate is hate. Murder is murder. The suffering of any sentient being is not

>funny. By making light of any kind of suffering, our humanity suffers.

>As a store catering to a community that has already seen its share of

>hatred, please do the compassionate thing and take this t-shirt off your

>shelves.

Hey Folks,

 

There is a clothing store in the Castro by the name of Injeanious that

is currently selling a T-shirt that says " Meat Is Murder...Tasty, Tasty

Murder " .

I have complained to the manager and I highly encourage everyone else

to do so. I told him that the suffering of animals is not funny. Here

is the phone number and address of the store.

Injeanious

(415) 864-1863

432 Castro Street

San Francisco, California

94114
