Something...happened to me last night...

I was looking at an image of how Steve Jobs deals
with those who lose his precious iPhone prototypes when....

*edit*NO HE IS NOT KISSING HIM, HES GOING FOR THE JUGULAR*edit*


 Suddenly my fingers flew across the keyboard...my bank account details swam through my mind...there was a crack of lightning, my Chicken Friends starting crowing and clucking from the back garden....but what
had been done could not be undone.

See attached screenshot.
 



I'm so nervous....

"Blood Found On Burger Wrapper"

Well, who would every imagine that "blood" could be found with a meat product from Burger King?

Outrageous! I've left a comment mentioning that Vegan burgers contain NO blood.

Episode 25 Animal Rights and Wrongs

Episode 25 Animal Rights and Wrongs

Hello and welcome to another episode of Coexisting With Nonhuman Animals.

I've had some great feedback on the last episode, saying that it was my best episode ever. I suppose thats because the others set the bar pretty low eh? I hope I don't disappoint you with future episodes, this one included, like a roller-coaster, after the big increase in perceived quality, its all downhill from here.

NZ Vegetarian Society Asking For Welfare Reform

I received an email from the NZ Vegetarian Society, RE the calls for larger cages/banning *CERTAIN* cages used for keeping pigs for their meat.

"

"Your Say Matters - Say no to pig cruelty" Campaign.

Why would an actual *VEGETARIAN* society ask for welfare reform when it comes to "meat animals"? Why would the Meat Boards care what Vegetarians want them to do, its not like a Vegetarian will buy their product!

Animal Welfare reforms are not what we should be promoting. We should promote Veganism, to help all our animal friends.

"A knife through my brain isn't humane!"

I decided to make a clip from the Close Up show covering the "outrage" over boiling a lobster to death.

This is essentially the Animal Welfare position, in a few seconds. http://www.archive.org/download/AnimalWelfareInANutshell/AnimalWelfareInANutshell.m4a



I coined a new phrase, well, at least *I* will use it :), "A knife through my brain isn't humane"! I'd love to see it on stickers, shopping bags etc!

Click to see fullsize images (I really dont know why blogspot makes things "word wrap" the way it does! Sorry that the images are "cut off"!)










Please promote Veganism, not only is it what the animals would ask for, what they would want, its what they *deserve*.

Episode 23 "humane lobster killing", Rabbit hunting, Crafar on the dole

Episode 23 "humane lobster killing", Rabbit hunting, Crafar on the dole

Hello and welcome to another episode of Coexisting With Nonhuman Animals.

This episode I have three stories. One about rabbit hunting, another chapter in the Allan Crafar Saga, the man who owned 20 dairy farms and had starving animals slowly dying, who had polluted rivers with animal waste, who owed 200 million dollars to banks, that Allan Crafar. The last story, possibly the largest is about a supposed outrage about how a lobster was killed on a New Zealand cooking show.

Wild Mouse goof spotted in James Bond Movie

I found this "goof" while watching the James Bond movie "Die Another Day", I took a screenshot of what seems to be a mouse during a furious car chase.

I cant be certain that it is a mouse, but what else could it be? Its physically moving, its not rubbish being blown about, it cant be a speck of dirt etc on the film, I'm sure its a mouse?

The mouse (by the rewind/play buttons) runs across the centre towards the Aston Martin as it turns at roughly 1:37:15-16.

The fate of the mouse is not shown.

What a strange thing, after checking IMDB, many "goofs" are mentioned, but nothing of this mouse. Its pretty obvious, to me, is it just that nobody cared much for a little mouse?

I also took a video screenshot using the FREE Mac utility "Capture Me", I was thankful for the developer's work and made a small paypal donation. You can see the frame by frame video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYCb5_dpAL0

I'd love to know what you think, do you agree that its a wild mouse on the set? Or am I an Idiot, who's more worried about a wild mouse than an epic car chase?
