About me:
Oppose Macmillan's cruel fishing event!
Macmillan Cancer Support is one of the largest charities in Britain and provides information, emotional and financial support to people affected by cancer. Up until now they were deemed ethical as they do not fund any research and therefore have no involvement with vivisection!!
However, in June 2009, Macmillan Cancer Support held it's annual 'Big Fish' fund raising event. Participants are sponsored to fish and there will be prizes for the heaviest bag of fish and the heaviest fish caught. To find out what this event involves CLICK HERE
The irony of this event is that the founder of Macmillan Cancer Support, Douglas Macmillan, was a vegetarian. He even edited a journal for a year or so around 1911 called The Better Quest which sought to encourage orthodox Christians to consider vegetarianism!
In 1909, Douglas Macmillan wrote an open letter to all Christians entitled 'Shall We Slay' which urged people to become vegetarian. To read the article CLICK HERE
It is disappointing that a charity dedicated to helping prevent suffering is using such a barbaric means of fundraising. Multiple studies show that fish do feel pain, and even those who are released back into the water after being caught often die from their injuries. Other wildlife such as swans and ducks can also be injured, or even killed, by discarded hooks and lines.
While it was too late to stop the event from taking place this year, we will keep applying pressure to stop it from ever taking place again! Please help us to stop this cruel and barbaric event. There are so many other ways to raise money instead of inflicting pain and suffering on animals!
If you are in any doubt as to how cruel fishing is, please visit these websites
A quote from the charity's vegetarian founder, Douglas Macmillan
'The various animals and fish exist as part of the intricate design of nature, and in our present state of ignorance it might not be easy in every case to state the precise use of each. But whether we regard them as the direct creations of God, manifesting His manifold diversity and wisdom, or as the varied offspring of our Mother Nature, the simple fact remains that they live more or less the same as we do, having similar organs, nerves, sensations of pain or pleasure, the same joy of life and fear of death, and the same right to live their full span upon the free earth.'
Douglas Macmillan, The Better Quest, 1911
Farmed-Fish Slaughter
There are no regulations to ensure the humane treatment of fish despite the fact that billions of farmed fish are slaughtered every year. Though they may seem alien to us, fish are unique and intelligent individuals who feel pain, just as all animals do. As many as 40 percent of farmed fish die before they are sent to slaughter. Fish who survive are starved before they are sent to slaughter in order to reduce waste contamination of the water during transport. Salmon, for example, are starved for 10 full days.
The crude methods used to kill fish for human consumption are truly ghastly. Cutting their gills, beating them with bats, suffocating them, freezing them—all these slaughter practices are legal and completely unregulated. If the victims were dogs, cats, cows, or pigs instead of fish, fish farmers could be charged with felony cruelty to animals. The best way to put an end to cruelty to fish is to stop eating them.

If solo, it'd be by car:
If accompanied (anyone with a bike or car and an adventurous spirit out there?), it'd be by motorcycle:
Either way, it will be for the animals, our children and the planet.

Project report by
Anthony Marr
Urban deer massacre ("culling"), combined with unadulterated fun-killing (bow-hunting), is a national disgrace. Through my last 6 Compassion for Animals Road Expeditions (CARE-1 - CARE-6, 2003-2008, each covering 25-42 states over 3-7 months), I have worked with activists in no less than 25 states whose by-and-large pro-culling and pro-hunting officials discharge their "deer management" duties by means of bullets and arrows.
The current hottest battle in the "Deer War" is at the Shawnee Mission Park, Kansas City, which local activists have dubbed "Death Park". There were supposedly some 575 deer living in the 3.7 sq.mi. urban park. Local officials estimate the maximum deer population density to be 50 per sq.mi., which produces the maximum allowable total number of 185 in the park. Up to December 9, 313 deer had been culled by "Dr. Death" Anthony DeNicola. This yields a remaining population of about 260, about 75 higher than the limit of 185, and 75 is about what the Park Board has allocated to the bow-hunters, 15 of whom have been granted permits to do the dirty deed, with pleasure of course...

Not fast enough to elude the cop unfortunately, but I've got a much faster bike now. :D
Of course that mini-Harley (not mine really) barely sips gas, but even my Kawasaki Ninja ZZR, capable of 175 kph and 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds, gives 80+ mpg hwy. This is about as green a personal vehicle as one can find capable of long distance travel, short of a full electric vehicle with a range of 250 miles per charge like the Tesla. But then, the Tesla costs $100,000, whereas the Ninja cost me barely $3000 with only 2,000 mi. on the odometer. And even if I had a full electric vehicle, as long as the electricity comes from coal, it's just like burning gas. By the way, the Ninja 250 is so popular with women it has the nickname of "Ninjette" (see www.Ninjette.org).
Regardless of gender, I strongly advise you to try out motorcycling as a means of transportation. Of course, the rider should be vegetarian if not vegan, to cut methane emissions from the animal industries. A vegan driving a Hummer emits less greenhouse gasses than a meat-eater riding a bicycle! Besides, short of flying, motorcycling is about as much fun as fun can get!

Thirsty and in search of water, the camels converged on the community of Docker River. Instead of assisting the community by building barriers to keep the camels out of the township and investing in long term solutions such as research into birth control or the construction of a manmade waterhole for the camels to drink from, the government are planning to herd the animals away from the town, shoot them and leave their bodies to rot.
Despite the outrage of thousands of concerned people from around the world, the Northern Territory government has given the green light for the cull to go ahead and thousands of scared camels are now being annihilated by marksmen from helicopters.
Please click here to voice your opposition to the cull.

It exterminated 85% of all species on Earth in the End-Permian Mass Extinction 251 million years ago, and can do it again, right now. The much milder Cretaceous Crisis was the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Global warming is real and unfolding. The deniers are either blind or lying.

Calcutta sounds like a fable in a song, but in reality, it is where John, my colleague and successor, was murdered. He was on the job for only three days when he got his throat slashed. As an undercover investigator targeting the illegal wildlife trade, especially in tiger parts, his real name was unknown, even to me, nor mine to him. We were just John and James to each other. All I know is that he was Chinese American, while his predecessor James - real name Anthony Marr - is Chinese Canadian, and how sincere he was in helping to save the Bengal tiger from being poached out of existence, while its habitat continues to dwindle due to human pressure...

TRIIIIIIICCK OOORR TRRREEEEEAAATT!!! :D
Halloween is past, but we do have a barbarian at the gate, a demon lurking in the ground, frozen there for eons, now being thawed and released into the living world, where it will roast life alive. If you want to really scare yourself silly, watch this 50 minute video in one go. Turn off the light, and the phone..
M-Bomb - Doomsday Machine - ignore at your children's peril!

One thing more about this demon. We have only 3 years to stop it, or kiss our children's future good bye.
