Hey, Die Before I Wake here. I made this world, The War on Cruelty, for people who love animals and are sick of the abuse, neglect, fighting, etc. of innocent animals. Cruelty is not limited to the beating, starving, etc. of domestic animals. It also extends to the capture, harming, and murder of wild species, too, as well as destroying the only homes they've known.

Here, I will post my own, and club members' stories, drawings, poems, videos, slideshows, images, essays, songs, etc. pertaining to any way of animal mistreatment. I will also put up updates of specials on National Geographic, Animal Planet, etc., in case anyone's interested. I'll also soon have links and buttons up to sites where you can donate to help our furry, scaly, skin-covered, and feathered friends and their homes by either sponsoring, or by buying stuff from their shops.

I'll frequently be changing layouts, updating, and adding members, so message me if you want to join to submit things, or simply look for something good to watch on TV. Or, even to find inspiring videos, poems, etc. that you may wish to repost onto your own world!

PIG ABUSE REPOST (Accidentally Deleted. Good thing I have them all in wordpad.)

If you're wondering why this is up again, I accidentally deleted it. I have them all saved in WordPad, so I just reposted it.

Okay. This is a RED FLAG post. RED FLAG means "Urgent action needed."

I received this in an email last night or something:

"Watch the footage that documents that workers and supervisors were abusing animals, many of whom were destined for Hormel (Warning: This video contains graphic footage and language).

Our investigators documented that workers used metal gate rods and hard canes to beat pigs multiple times. Pigs were cruelly poked in the eyes with clothespins and fingers, and workers and supervisors beat pregnant pigs. One supervisor even said, "You gotta beat on the b****. Make her cry."

Baby piglets who were deemed too small to be profitable were slammed head first onto the concrete floor in an attempt to kill them, although some lingered alive for more than 12 minutes after the impact.

Please watch the video footage and write to Hormel today. Demand that Hormel call for the immediate termination and criminal prosecution of anyone who is caught abusing or neglecting animals—at this farm or at any other facility owned by Hormel's suppliers. Also, be sure to forward the video footage to everyone you know."

If you're wondering how I'm getting these updates, I'm on the PETA2 Steet Team. Check out the website and order your free sticker, vegetarian/vegan cookbook, and more. Also, find out which of your favorite celebrities support the care for animals, like The Alkaline Trio, AFI, and more!

Want to know how else you can help pigs? Well, for starters, there's PETA2's "Woof!" campaign:

It is a very good cause supporting the idea that pigs and dogs are no different. "How similar are they?", you may ask. Well, take the official "Woof!" quiz to find out if you can tell what makes pigs and dogs so similar.

This Dachshund mother and her pups adopted a piglet into their family. The piglet nurses, naps, and plays alongside the puppies and their mother, just like another little Dachshund would!
