Nader on Vivisection, Factory Farming & Whaling

 

This was forwarded from another list by DapperD72.

Gush & Bore both support vivisection (ie. www.gorenomore.com),

factory farming, commercial whaling, genetic engineering,

cloning, and other atrocities against nonhumans and the biosphere.

 

Gore also pushed Clinton to sign amendments that weakened

the Marine Mammal Protection Act, thereby allowing consumer fraud

(Nader's enemy) to control the supermarket shelves.

 

One of the key amendments Clinton signed under Gore's influence

allows tuna fishers to psychologically harass dolphins by encircling

them and entrapping them in drift nets if they keep the dolphin deaths

at a certain quota.

 

Tuna cans can still be labeled " dolphin-safe " when the murdered tuna

was collected under these conditions.

 

Under Nader's administration, no consumer fraud will ever be enacted

into law without a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress to override

his veto.

 

Gore's no friend of the environment if he's no friend of cetaceans.

(Recall the 1994 " Revised Management Scheme " which raised the legal

quota of whales that can be commercially murdered under Gore's auspices

in cooperation with Greenpeace, IFAW and World Wildlife Fund.)

 

Candidates must EARN our votes.

Ralph Nader spoke today at Youngstown State University. He said in

answer to a question about his 2 Alma Maters, Harvard and Princeton,

and their vivisection on primates that animal rights activists should

continue to put pressure on corporations for nonanimal alternative.

 

He cited the work of Henry Spira and the Draize test (see postings

from yesterday). (Henry's guru Peter Singer teaches at Ralph Nader's

Alma Mater.)

 

Nader said about vivisection on primates: 'If they keep messing around

they are likely to create another virus. You know how AIDS started don't

you?'

 

Re: factory farms and his Ohio Public Interest Research Group which is

along with Willie Nelson's Farm Aid, Catholic and Anglican bishops, many

consumer, environment, labor and college groups fighting factory farms

he said:

 

" Factory farming is terrible for the animals and terrible for the consumers " .

He commented on the " garbage which is pumped into the animals " .

 

Re: the Makah hunt, he opposes all commercial whaling by Japan, Iceland,

and Norway. Nader said that only Vegans who do not eat animals or their

products have a right to object to the Makah hunt.

 

He said that the Republicans and Democrats have proven that a 'rising

tide lifts all yachts' as real wages are down from 1968 even though the

economy has doubled.

 

He commented again on the nag monsters which corporations (like

McDonald's) make of children as they bypass the parents in direct

marketing.
