// STOP ANIMAL TESTING // ACT NOW // FISH HAVE FEELINGS //



So, below is brief letter i wrote to FDA for this cause and i hope everyone who reads this understands the necessary importance of putting a stop to these inhumane 'experiments'. 

________________________________________________________________________

'IT'S OKAY TO EAT FISH BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY FEELINGS'‏


*hello, person who is reading this, please could you pass this on to someone who will read this and would consider or hopefully will take action. Sorry for sending it here, hope it's not spam and an interesting read (if you want to or are just bored out of your brain at work); couldn't find a valid email address for my 'rant' on the website*

HELLO,

Now, i wasn't going to start my email like this as we all know how highly cliche is it to start an 'essay' with a definition. My English teacher taught me better. However, when i think of 'animal testing' one of the first words that comes to my mind (and probably many others) is: 'CRUEL'. So yh, what is the 'actual' definition of 'cruel' then? Well, trusty google says it means: 'wilfully causing pain or suffering to others, or feeling no concern about it'. I want to focus on the last part - 'feeling no concern about it'....... Firstly, the fact that animal testing is linked to cruelty shouldn't and obviously isn't a big shocker, as we have all seen the vids and reports,  but it's really quite scary to think that when the lab people/scientists/illuminati test on these poor animals they don't feel remorse. ARE YOU SAVAGES? I so very hope not, as i find it hard to believe that such evil can live in this world that when they are torturing (already quite ruthless behaviour) 'innocent' animals, they feel no empathy..... Why are human lives more valuable than animals? (this is for a different discussion)  

Also, it honestly saddens me to think that the people who work here (could) have pets of their own. I mean what household doesn't have a cat, dog, zebra, hamster these days? How can someone conduct callous tests on animals they have no yet attachment to, then come home and stroke their dog? (euphemism game is high)

Furthermore, the main reason for this email is to RE-inform you that there are OF COURSE other NON-ANIMAL TESTING/NON-CRUEL ways to make drugs and help humans. SO, why not use them?! Although i'd like to say 'life isn't about money', i know that's not necessarily true. But to be honest, being a good person and not harming innocent animals HEAVILY outweighs making money and profit, in my eyes.

To be honest, i  could go on for days about this topic (as vague as i am), as i feel quite strongly about animals, although you may not be able to tell with my humour, if you gather it. But, i wish that as a human, you could stop this CRUELTY. A LIFE IS A LIFE. Please stop testing on ALL animals, even rats (as i think they aren't protected by the law). EVERY CREATURE HAS FEELINGS. EVEN FISH (referring to nirvana's 'something in the way' - i had always hoped KURT was being sarcastic with the lyrics that is the title of this email, as obviously they do have feelings, but i just don't know). Also, FISHING IS CRUEL.

Thank you reading my email which i wrote in hurry as i have to go to work. And i hope to hear back from you soon (a reply of any sort to acknowledge that you have read this would be great). 

PS - yes, i'm very vague and haven't done any present research for this email, but i know how i feel and what is wrong and what is right. I've recently been trying to live a more moral (ironic since it derives from religion aha) way of life, and i just feel like maybe if you comprehend what i'm saying (and the MANY MANY other people who have fought for this cause), you will put a stop to this CRUEL practice.

PPS - 'innocent' is indented because i don't truly know if the animals being tested on are innocent or not, HOWEVER there is still no excuse.... Don't you just love how the justice system works? People who believe in god make judgements on whether the defendant gets to live or die? (capital punishment is again a topic for another discussion) 

PPPS - yes, i know the pssssssssss''s's are supposed to go after the farewell, but i worry you won't bother reading everything,... as i attachment issues. (=

ENHANCING SYMPATHY? ENHANCING RACISM.

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/heroic-muslim-man-saved-jewish-hostages-during-paris-siege-by-hiding-them-in-chiller-9970051.html


This article is disgusting. It emphasises the view that it is highly rare for someone from one religious sector to help someone from a different one. IT IS DIVIDING US. Articles like this shouldn’t exist. 

The fact that a lot, A LOT of newspapers do this is disgraceful. Well, anyone who has read a newspaper, even one, will know that they have been doing this for years. Quite frankly, the ban of these sorts of articles, will essentially, in the long run, reduce racism. But is it too late? 


Moreover, if this carries on, it will be enforced in the minds of the young that it is a rare occasion when people of different religions/race/ethnicity help one and other. When it in fact is not rare at all. It’s just being a good human. 


Why isn’t it a shock when a Muslim man saves a cat from a Christian household? Because noone cares. Newspapers know EXACTLY how to target us, know EXACTLY how to make us sympathise, and know EXACTLY what will make us tick.


We’re all creatures. Let’s just help one and other. And live in unbiased morality, impartiality.

**of course this isn’t the first piece of writing to have done this, but I was ready today, now, today. INIT.
