Twitter: Alicia Silverstone

I just checked out Alicia Silverstone's blog linked from her twitter.
If you don't already know, she is vegan and an activist with Peta. Despite some radical things that Peta does, the general notion is that they love animals.
She posted a video and a news article about abuse in a dairy farm. I didn't watch the video, except when I went to sign the petition, to shut down the dairy farm (long story short, 2 people were in a video of animal abuse against the cows at the farm. One man was charged with 12 counts of animal cruelty, while the other did not -- and was actually the owner of the dairy farm. He is not in jail and still manager of the farm, which is unfair and cruel.) Anyway, just the still frame of the video was there on the petition site, and it was a cow held between this guys legs with a fist on its head. Not graphic just that.
But I feel like I am going to cry. Its just so cruel and terrible that people do this, to ANY living thing, animals and humans alike.

I met several people who went vegetarian/vegan or attempted, or at least thought about it who tell me they have watched several of the Peta videos - such as beef cows, chickens, and such like that being slaughtered. I have never once watched any of those videos. I didn't have to. I can only imagine and it hurts.
Some nights, its really weird, but I can not even sleep just thinking about all the animals out there that get abused, even outside the food industry.

Humans are really terrible creatures. We think we own everything because we are overpopulated on this earth. It's really stupid. Sadly, I think the human race should really die out and bring peace and balance back to the earth.
