Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Dear friends, This is the answer I got regarding the dogs from Wu-Chu GEVHA- Grupo para el Estudio de la Violencia Hacia Humanos y Animales. Educacion Humanitaria. Group for the Study of Violence towards Humans & Animals. Humane Education. http://www.jobs.ge/gevha/ http://www.violenciaanimales/ ------------ " La conmiseracion con los animales esta intimamente ligada con la bondad de caracter, de tal suerte que se puede afirmar seguro que quien es cruel con los animales, no puede ser buena persona. Una compasion por todos los seres vivos es la prueba mas firme y segura de la conducta moral " Arthur Schopenhauer (filosofo aleman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Dear friends, How long are we to decide with human rights for animal welfare. Is it not enough or is there some more to satisfy the humans. As a race that exploited for all the selfish reasons upsetting the entire biological spheres pushing to the brim of total destruction why talk about human rights. It should now read as animal rights and welfare for the sake of humans and this will lead us to our objectives. Animals and all species except humans have given their lives for human comforts. Nobody has the right to take other's lives unless threatened. And all species are found to be useful to theenvironment except the humans. Excepting for helping each other the humans have no values. There is no morality also. A bull or a cow after serving day and night to the families for 15 years endup in the terrible transportations and slaughter houses. Similarly are other useful animals. The report on Tiger issues was submitted to the PM with the basic recommendations that unless tribals are roped in or the humans at the forest are encouraged there is no safety to the tigers and subsequently to the entire forest life. How much more preconditions to the tribals is this necessary. The tribal bill will obviously go through. These are all at the top level while the situation is totally different at the ground level. The poachers are immune to these decisions. With the fluid political scenario and money bait to the humans the poachers are laughing in their sleeves. It needs committment and dedicated officers with total govt. protection. And all the while we keep thinking of human rights and their welfare which also has limits we are going to land in no zone atleast for the wildanimals. Yes the tribals should be compensated or selected for jobs but there can be no encroachments or humans in the sanctuary. Even a single individual in the pack can spoil the entire setup to protect the forests and under the low pecuniary conditions of the tribals it is easy to lure them in the illegal trade. They need to move out. Their rights are protected when they are shown the right path and the right economy living and educated to learn to earn by the applicable methods and not on taking other species lives. it is not their right to do so. If the human cannot recognise the rights of other species than they cannot have any rights also. I was able to turn the seaturtle poachers into protectors by paying suitably and used religion and silent warnings and now the migratory birds at Telenelipuram. I protected human rights for animal welfare while educating the masses. I bring into fold 24 villages to man the coasts. Through the human I entered the entire villages. It has worked. But tiger poachers are in need of huge money and this cannot be compensated by any jobs. So they need to be caught and punished while the tribals or conduits in the villages will be warned while a comprehensive awareness campaign lodged. This is protecting human rights through animal welfare. To show the animal's usefulness beneficial to humans. ANd this is what we are into now. Formulating scheme to enter every village gradually encompassing all our projects for domestic and wild bringing in all social and economic values with all sentiments in our customs. Money spent in this direction is much economical with best results. Understanding animal values will help the humans. And these are all attrributed to a populated and ever growing population. Why should not ABC for humans also. I am thinking like a plain species with justification for all species. My views for animals and please excuse me if I have offended anybody.

This is where human rights comes in. Listening to a wildlife trader does not mean supporting his vocation. We could carry on this issue till the cows come home, but in case we differ, I think it is better we just agree to diasgree. Many thanks for writing.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I live in Maryland. I tried your web site, but did not know which one was you? I would like to learn more about your diet. Please help Thank you Edith sussmank wrote: Dusty, Raw food diet is all veggie and guarantees effortless permanent weight loss. (no exercise necessary) No need to count calories or eat low fat. Trust me it is a lot more tasty than the name implies. Where do you live? Check out my website. _www.ocraw.com_ (http://www.ocraw.com) for photos (b4 an after), HEALTH info, and recipes etc. E diet is a waste of $- the owner is a fat junk food junkie. (his photos are on the website - John) My site is free and also prevents cancer etc. BTW- drop the dairy- at least milk, butter, and cheese...ORGANIC eggs may be OK for now if you insist.

I tried WW and had a very hard time with it, plues I don't like paying( and the price went up a couple dollars) to step on the scale and listen to people who could not help me. They are great with menu help and ideals if you eat meat but not that helpful if you don't. I think they are not educated with different health needs plus just don't know. There answer was check the website. I even called the office and talked to people and they could not help. I lack ideals for very filling, low fat, low calorie, high fiber and what ever else it takes to get rid of this fat.LOL I do exercise 3 times a week and I try to watch what I eat. I eat a lot of veggies and wild rice I cut way back on cheese and veggie burgers for fear of to much fat and bad stuff. Has anyone tried the E-Diet? If so what was the result. Any ideals will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Here's the short reply, a longer one may come later: tofu I sometimes use; however tempeh and seitah are foreign to me. I have been looking for a vegetarian cookbook at a used book store. Prohibitive cost has hampered me some, but I have a feeling that there maybe something I don't know. I will be asking the group strategies for successful switching. Right now, I'm reading " Healthy Habits " by David and Anne Frahm. That is what is making me seriously consider a real switch. Thank you for your helpful attitude! Until next time! Cory Hey, Cory, There are numerous vegan cookbooks out there, not to mention many sites with veg*an recipes. Is there a Whole Foods/Wild Oats/natural foods store in your town? If so, you can get tofu, tempeh, seitan, and other non-meat protein sources. You can also order seitan quick mix online, as it's just high-gluten flour that you mix with water. Almost every grocery store sells beans without nasty additives that you can serve with rice and/or veggies or make into tacos or burritos. Don't go overboard on the meat substitutes, as they can get expensive. Consider them an occasional treat. And any reduction in animal products is a step in the right direction.
