The Vegetarians International Voice for Animals (Viva) claims that consumers should be informed if any of their home electricity is being generated by what it described as the "macabre" recycling process.
Tesco now sends 5,000 tonnes of meat that has passed its sell-by date to be turned into enough National Grid electricity to power 600 homes for a year.
It has hailed the scheme as part of a "green" drive which has enabled it to stop sending any of the waste it produces to environmentally damaging landfill sites.
But Viva said many vegetarians would be "horrified" that their houses were being powered partly by out-of-date meat.
They said any environmental benefits of recycling the meat were far outweighed by the greenhouse gases produced by rearing more meat than was needed in the first place.
To give a child animal products is a form of child abuse

Keep moving, keep moving, no agenda here.
“It won’t ruin our movement if someone gets killed in an animal rights action. It’s going to happen sooner or later. The Animal Liberation Front, the Earth Liberation Front — sooner or later there’s going to be someone getting hurt. And we have to accept that fact. It’s going to happen. It’s not going to hurt our movement. Our movement will go on. And it’s important that we not let the bully pulpit of the FBI and the other oppression agencies stop us from what we’re doing. They are the violent ones. They are the terrorists … we have to keep doing what we’re doing.”
Jerry Vlasak, PCRM spokesman and Director of ADL, speaking at the Animal Rights 2004 convention (July 8-11).
“I don’t think you’d have to kill — assassinate — too many … I think for 5 lives, 10 lives, 15 human lives, we could save a million, 2 million, 10 million non-human lives.”
Jerry Vlasak, Animal Rights 2003 Convention, June, 2003.
“Hit them in their personal lives, visit their homes. Actively target military establishments within the United States… strike hard and fast and retreat in anonymity. Select another location, strike again hard and fast and quickly retreat in anonymity … Do not get caught. DO NOT GET CAUGHT. Do not get sent to jail. Stay alert, keep active, and keep fighting.”
Craig Rosenbraugh, radical animal rights spokesperson for terrorism and a recipient of PeTA funds, in Open letter to activists, published on the Independent Media Center website, March 17, 2003.
“Arson, property destruction, burglary and theft are ‘acceptable crimes’ when used for the animal cause.”

I’m beginning to see a common thread here…

ReplyDeleteViolence begets violence.
Anyone who advocates violence for the sake of non-violence is insane.
And burning rotten meat. Yikes. What a waste of energy - from the very beginning.
