The Compassion Experiment (Day 48)

-



The Compassion Experiment: It's not a blog, it's a Blitter. Too short for a blog, too long for a Twitter.

Man, I love these guys!

Check out The Animal Liberation Front, and their articles/videos about frois gras, how it is produced, and why people SHOULD NOT EAT IT.
Note: The images may be gory, but that's reality, and people need to see this stuff to truly believe it is wrong.

I love their pictures of people in ski masks, hugging bunnies.
Awesome.
Please show them some support.

Here is the article from the Globe and Mail about animal cruelty and the lack of legal repercussions.
"Inspection records show animals arriving to slaughterhouses dead or diseased, with few repercussions for transporters".
And the list goes on, check it out:

In the last couple days, the news has been filled to brimming, with articles on animal cruelty, and this should be a real wake-up call for everyone.
All these tragedies that are done behind closed doors, are becoming more public, and we support people's efforts to spread the word.
The animals can't stand up for themselves, so it is up to us, to help them, not hurt them.

Things can change, you just need courage to take a new path.

Today's Parallel's 'Of Wisdom':
“Courage is the power to let go of the familiar.” – Raymond Lindquist

Animals saved today: 3
Animals saved to date: 144

Note: we realize these numbers are not a true representation, but in our minds, this helps to visualize the damage we are causing when we eat animal by-products.

Ladybird Animal Sanctuary

A couple weeks ago, we had in our living room, three big hearted individuals, Melissa McClelland , Janine Stoll and Lisa Winn , from Ladybird Animal Sanctuary . The following is the transcription of the interview. You can find the video version up above. How did it all start? “I’m an animal lover, and a full-time touring musician," said McClellan. "And I think I just wanted part of my life to focus on my love for animals, because so much of my life is wrapped up being on the road. So I brought it up with these girls, and we all thought it was a great idea, so we’ve been talking about it for a few years now.” “I had already been doing it small scale," said Winn, "because I’ve worked at animal shelters, and had already been rescuing and fostering for a number of years.” “I felt like the three of us come from different backgrounds, and we work so nicely together," said McClelland. "Our personalities, we just click as friend. And Lisa has the background w

I must have picked the right font, because it looks like Gop 10 ! Ok, it's no surprise that I'm procrastinating writing my newest project, though I did write a short story for the Toronto Star Short Story contest, which means I still haven't given up my dream of becoming a successful author. Lucky for me, being a successful author means: completing a project I start. Also, it should't come as a surprise that I'm single, so I've compiled a Top 10 list of the reasons for this. Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend. #10 - I trim my toenails with my teeth. #9 - When I pulled my laundry out of the dryer, I didn’t find any underwear, that’s when I realized I was still wearing the pair I washed last week. #8 - I’m broke and broken. #7 - I run like a girl and sit down to pee. #6 - I cut my own hair. #5 - I cry when I watch ‘The Notebook’. #4 - I’ll eat anything that’s free. #3 - I’ll drink anything that’s free. #2 - The minute I realize I’

Best Metal'ish albums of 2022

We use the term Metal’ish because some of our favorite albums could be considered metal adjacent, not metal necessarily, but awesome none-the-less and worthy of this list. We are always on the hunt for the next awesome metal album and this year there was no shortage of great stuff, in fact, this list could have been a lot longer. Finding all these albums on our own would be near impossible. What we do is wait until all the YouTube metal nerds put out their metal lists and we watch them - 20 or so videos so far -  and any albums we haven’t heard yet, we check them out. Basically we let them find all the good albums that we missed and then check them out and see what we think. The criteria for this list is easy: is it a kick ass album? Yes or no? If no, then it’s probably power metal. If yes, we listen to it until we get sick of it. Anyways, here is the list of top metal’ish albums of 2022. We are reversing a trend and instead of making you wait to see what is #1, we will just start ther
