Authorized Filming in US Agriculture Industry
CNN covered the Jane Velez-Mitchell and Sunny Hostin debate on bills that would ban authorized filming on industrial farms in few states of America. Jane Velez-Mitchell, who is a great advocate for animals, asked the key question – “What are these people trying to hide? Of course, we know what many of these factory farms and puppy mills are trying to hide – severe abuse of animals.
They don’t want the public to see these abuses. This bid to ban undercover video is clearly a statement from the industry and from those pushing for these bills. That statement screams that they want free rein to abuse animals and we have no right to see these abuses uncovered.
As legal analyst Sunny Hostin points out, there are already protections in place, against falsely editing video or other evidence. The factory farms don’t need this ban on uncover video to protect their “rights.” What they really want is to prevent the public from seeing what is going on in the shadows – what Velez-Mitchell rightfully calls “institutionalized torture.”
Texas Players charged for Animal Sacrifice
Texas Players charged for Animal Sacrifice
BENBROOK, Texas — Two Texas high school baseball players accused of sacrificing chickens in a superstitious ritual to end their slump have been charged with cruelty to livestock animals.
Benbrook Police Sgt. John Van Ness said Thursday the case has been turned over to a Tarrant County juvenile court, where a decision will be made on whether to prosecute the teens, whose names are not being released.
Police in the Fort Worth suburb said the 15- and 16-year-old "engaged in acts that caused the death of two baby chickens" on the Western Hills High School baseball field during spring break two weeks ago. Police said superstition about a slump in baseball performance could have played a part.
The boys have been kicked off the team for the rest of the year and were disciplined, said Barbara Griffith, a Fort Worth schools spokeswoman, who declined to provide further details, citing student privacy laws.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent the school principal a letter Thursday offering materials to launch an animal rights club there.
"Teaching students about animal issues helps prevent violence and helps students apply concepts of respect and kindness toward animals in their own lives," Elizabeth Graffeo, PETA's TeachKind program manager, wrote to Western Hills High School.
The school did not immediately return a call to The Associated Press on Thursday.
Cruelty to livestock animals is a class A misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $4,000 fine — but only if the person is a first-time offender and charged as an adult.
Cases are handled differently in the juvenile system, where those convicted can be sentenced to probation or time in a youth detention facility, depending on the offense.
Western Hills High School baseball coach Bobby McIntire told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that "baseball is very superstitious" and the players possibly got the idea from some sports movies.
Baseball has long been associated with superstitions, with players and even fans wearing "lucky" clothing or items and repeating routines if they think it helped their teams win.
Former Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra would do an elaborate routine adjusting his batting gloves before each pitch during an at-bat — every single time.
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy has said stress is only one reason he hasn't been able to quit dipping. For years as a manager, he dipped in the first, fifth and eighth innings.
"Superstitious as much as anything," he told The AP last summer, several months before the Giants won the World Series.

Charged for Santeria Sacrifice Ritual
FREEHOLD — A borough resident was charged with eight counts of animal cruelty after the remains of numerous animals, including chickens, guinea hens and a slider turtle, were found in his yard last week, authorities said.
Jorge Badillo, 47, of 100 Center St., admitted he killed the animals in a Santeria sacrifice ritual, said Victor "Buddy'' Amato, chief of the Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Santeria is a religion practiced in some parts of the Caribbean.
Amato said borough police Officer Thomas Duda and his K-9 partner, Rocky, noticed the remains while responding to an unrelated call on Thursday. Duda contacted the SPCA.
Duda and Amato went to the residence at 100 Center St. on Friday afternoon, and received permission from Badillo to search the yard, Amato said. They found numerous dead animals in various states of decomposition, as well as some live animals ready for slaughter and several Santeria altars, he said.
Amato said Badillo admitted sacrificing the animals.
Each count of animal cruelty carries a possible six-month jail term and fine of $1,000. The charges are to be heard in municipal court on April 19.

Human Rights of Domination & Abuse
Human Rights of Domination & Abuse?
*PURPOSE: The purpose of this essay is to present the truth about modern industrialized factory farming – A human system of domination, abuse & the genocide of animals. We humans often gather to party & celebrate; we raise & clink our glasses & we say: Cheers! Then we spear pieces of meat with our forks & we fill our bellies with the pain & suffering of farm animals. Please come & follow me as I now take on the identity of a Baby calf for this essay.
*The SUN: I have never seen the Sun with it's white rays of light that shine down to the Earth.. I have never heard the birds sing in the morning that greet the new day. I have never seen the wind blow gently through a field of wild grasses. I have never looked out at a vast landscape in the distance. & I have never looked up to see the eternal blue sky. Where is the sun? Where is the beautiful sun? I want to be intimate with the Sun, the wind & the sky. But, I will never see this Sun that I so deeply yearn for.
*MY BIRTHDAY: I am a Baby calf. I was born on an industrialized factory farm in August 2010. It was a noisy day at the farm. My mother gave birth to me & I fell to the cold cement ground here in this concrete building. My mother licked me & I felt her gentle touch. I nursed with her & slept near her for only a precious few days. Then an angry Homo Sapien man with a rope & a stick beat me & lead me to my new home: A cage. I struggled with this human & I cried to my mother. I did not want to leave her. I remember seeing my sad mother fade away in the distance as I was taken away. I never saw my mother again.
*MILK, YOGURT & CHEESE: I was born so that humans can eat dairy products such as Milk, cheese, butter & yogurt. My mother will go off now to give her cow's milk to humans – rather than to me. I am only a byproduct of the dairy industry. I will be slaughtered for veal, baby calves liver, leather shoes & leather coats.
*CAGES: Now I am here alone in this small cage, in a fluorescent lit, cold cement building with ammonia fumes & desperate animal sounds. I am fed unpleasant food. I am injected with antibiotics & hormones to plump me up for slaughter. I can not move around. I want to run & jump as all baby animals do. I want to run in a meadow & see the wild flowers & hear the sparrows sing. But, here I am in this alienating, existential & lonely Homo Sapien industrialized factory farm.
*CRAZY: Some of the other baby calves are going crazy. One of them bites at the cage & rocks back & forth all day. Another baby calf hits his head against the cage & kicks the walls trying to escape. & Another calf just lays there all day staring out into space.
*HOMO SAPIENS: The humans who work here are emotionally disturbed people.
*George: There's George who hates animals; He swears at the animals & he beats them; He has a rage deep down in his soul; He was abused as a child; Now as an adult he likes the power & control he has over animals; He enjoys getting revenge on animals for all the shame & humiliation he endured as a child.
*Larry: Then, there's Larry who is part of the human conspiracy against animals; Larry says that God told man to dominate, conquer & exploit animals for human use; Larry doesn't care whether animals feel pain or fear; Larry has turned his brain off in order to kill & eat animals; Larry in turn teaches his children the party line -- that it's okay to harm animals for human use.
*VEAL MEAT, BABY CALVES LIVER & LEATHER COATS & SHOES: A Restaurant, a Grocery store & a Clothing store put in an order for: Veal meat, Baby Calves liver & a Leather coat & Leather shoes – on a Monday. So my farmer calls in a work order for a transport truck on Tuesday & slaughter time on Wednesday. On Thursday I will be the special entrées of the day: Veal with wine & Baby calves liver with onions. On Friday I will be hung on a rack as a leather coat & on display as leather shoes for sale.
*SLAUGHTER: It is February 2011. I am now 6 months old & it is time for me to be slaughtered. I am anemic & weak; I am covered in sores & my spirit is broken. A frowning human comes to take me away this day; He uses a pitch fork to prod me out of the building onto the truck. I stumble into the back of the truck, pushed by other baby calves. When the truck is full, we travel off to the slaughter yard. It is a cold day & the wind blows & I shake. One of the sick baby calves falls to the floor of the truck & is stepped on by other calves; That baby calf dies there alone on that crowded truck: haemorrhaging out, with a broken hip -- while no one in the universe cares. When we arrive at the slaughter house I hear frightening sounds, the cries of the dying in the distance. We walk down a long dark path, in single file. I am so afraid. I have given up all hope. Now it is my turn to die. My life is about to end. Good-bye mother, good-bye other baby calves, good-bye planet Earth. The human puts an electric bolt gun up to my forehead. I hear a loud zap. Electricity races through my head & body; I see lightning; My head & body burn; I stiffen, then I breathe my last breath & I fall to the Earth. & I die.
