Animal Liberation Victoria is lending support to a campaign asking the Dalai Lama to stop eating meat and to condemn animal experimentation. The Dalai Lama is a true hero for his work promoting peace and compassion around the world. Unfortunately he has a not so spiritual side that his followers may not be aware of. Despite publically promoting vegetarianism, The Dalai Lama eats cruelly produced veal and other animal products. He also supports invasive tests on the brains of living monkeys. Please e-mail the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and ask him to stop eating veal and other animal products, and to retract his statements in support of ‘highly necessary animal experiments’. You can quote the Dalai Lama’s fellow Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer, who said “As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures there can be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people. Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.” For more information visit badkarmalama.com.
A man kills a deer and takes it home to cook for dinner. Both he and his
wife decide that they won’t tell the kids what kind of meat it is, but
will give them a clue and let them guess. The kids were eager to know what
the meat was on their plates, so begged their dad for the clue.
“Well” the father said, “it’s what mummy calls me sometimes.”
The little girl screams, “Don’t eat it……..it’s a fucking
arsehole!!!!!!!!
