Grey Squirrels Condemned In The Countryside
Large numbers of grey squirrels are being killed in the UK at
the moment.
Their extermination is excused as
the answer to conservation of wildlife problems by those who do
not want this variety of species on their land.
The Ark
Wildlife Hospital at Milton Keynes refutes that grey squirrels are
to blame for the destruction of trees and song birds, and are petitioning
the Government to call a halt to the cruel culling.
"A Giant Champion of an even Bigger Problem"

were you when an elephant was shot dead?
Why be different?
Being Vegan is about adhering to dietary ethics.
From
the outset, those who first formed the Vegan Society decided to put
moral principles before any perceived self-interest which might be
gained through causing suffering to other creatures.
Because
Vegans are also self-respecting, developing nutritional knowledge (and
acting in accordance with it) has remained a high
priority.
That being said, the Vegan
Sunflower Mark only indicates that a product is free from
animal ingredients. Vegan products may still contain substances
permitted under the UK's liberal and retrospective regulations
which are injurious to the health of people and companion animals.
So, Vegans are interested in knowing what all food is made of and
how our body chemistry reacts with it.

Animals cannot justify their existence by contributing to our diet, nor by providing alternative low carbon transport. They don't really do either of these things very well. They do not exist because of us, nor even despite us and our selective influences upon their genetic modification, but peacefully alongside us.
