First Do No Harm

Morning mist rises

from the Montana mirror lake

..as the souls of cows

to God leave

.. born only to be

slaughtered and consumed

Author's Notes/Comments:

of his peers have followed him.

WHAT'S IN A HOT DOG

(entire list at http://www.egroups.com/messages/bloodsweatandtears)

Female Hormones? Why? So the animals will gain waterweight before being butchered.. and make more profit.These hormones are banned in Europe becausethey cause prostate, uterine and breast cancer

.    

Sodium Nitrate Sodium nitrate, red dye no. 2 forms with animal proteins in the stomach to makcarcinogenic nitrosamines. http://www.ivu.org/recipes

Why are hot dogs dyed?  Because otherwise they would be brown, the color of the intestines.http://www.meatout.com

What Are Natural Casings?  Some hotdogs come with an NC on the package, standing for  natural casings. Natural casings are the actual intestinal links of the butchered animal, and are like everything else saturated with ecoli or colon bacteria. http://www.pcrm.org

Lips Snouts Ground Up Hooves Eyelashes Tails Spinal Cords  Other Slop from Slaughterhouse FloorWhen profiteers say some hot dogs have everything but the squeal, they can be taken literally. Howard Lyman got a spinal tumor fromeating the meat of animals on his 4th generation Montana cattle farm. He promised God that if he recovered (he was told he would never walk again) he would end ranching. He began to tell the world about the animals fed to other animals.When he described this on Oprah Winfrey's show, they were both sued by Amarillo cattlemen. The 5thCircuit recently upheld them, saying the truth is not libelous. However the Amarillo cattlemen, majorcontributors to George Bush, Gov Perry, Tom Delay and others, have sued again.  http://www.madcowboy.com

Oh I'd Love to Be An Oscar Mayer Wiener is a lie by ad execs. In reality 1100 pigs an hour were butchered in Madison Wisconsin. The sound they make would rend any heart which is why slaughterhouses have the most turnover of any occupation. The kicking terrified animals make slaughterhouse and deep fishing the 2 most dangerous occupations. Oscar Mayer with its Oscar Mobile is guilty of criminal child endangering as it promotes leukemia and food poisoning engendering food. The Minnesota Dept of Health says to give a child rare meat is like driving your child 95 mph down a road.

So are you saying that hot dog buns are little coffins for the cadavers of pigs' buns?  Yes

Ralph Nader who is not yet a vegetarian.. said he would never
  eat a hot dog and wrote about why.
A meatcutter in upstate NY said although he was not a vegetarian
  he would never eat coldcuts or hot dogs.

George Bernard Shaw once asked a man with a meatless plate next to him if he was like Shaw a vegetarian. The man replied.. I wasn't til I became a meat inspector.
