i like to think of myself as sticking up for the rights of animals. however, i would NEVER even dream of causing others harm over this. if i see someone wearing fur, i don't preach to them. i cringe, but i do it privately. IF someone asks about my beliefs, i sure as heck will share them, but i do NOT attack. that never helps. well let's put it this way, i don't attack unless i am attacked first. then WATCH OUT. as a matter of fact, my friend shawn and i were talking about fur yesterday. we both agreed how wonderful it felt, but we both agreed (it's easy for one to understand MY beliefs, but i was SHOCKED shawn agreed with me here. he's quite the carnivore) one should NOT wear fur. it is obtained in such a cruel way. shawn and jen do have two kids you know, monty and lu (english bulldog and pug). i just got this year's christmas card featuring them in all of their holiday finery (they are SO cute. lu was in a bit of an accident while shawn and jen were vacationing. monty accidentally caused lu to lose one of her eyes. she's going as a pirate for halloween next year!!! she's just fine by the way. shawn and jen aren't but lu and monty are doing a-ok)
when i found out pom was using animals to test on (including YES erectile dysfunction) i vowed to NOT drink the shite (and i haven't. there ARE other brands). i won't make threats against them, i think that is just NOT right. what i WILL do is tell people what pom does to animals and post about it on my blog. i may write to them as well. i wouldn't in a million years think to do anything like poisoning their products.
i am unsure it's even been confirmed an animal organization REALLY threatened to poison the juice.......
Activists take credit for juice poisoning
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Animal activists claim they have poisoned 487 bottles of POM Wonderful's juice on the U.S. Eastern seaboard to protest animal testing.
A POM Wonderful spokesman told United Press International the company has not confirmed the validity of the claim, but it was contacted by the FBI regarding the issue. The spokesman said the company is preparing a statement on the matter.
The North American Animal Liberation Press Office distributed a communiqué it received that claimed credit for the juice poisoning and was signed "animal rights militia." POM Wonderful, which makes pomegranate juice, has been a target of animal activists since it was revealed the company uses animals, such as newborn mice and rabbits, to test its juice and show its health benefits. .......
