Where You're Beloved Lost Pets REALLY Go -Goddess Of Imaginary Light

It is disgusting how people treat animals. This made me cry!

Pets Sold as Parts It may be hard to stomach, but pets suffer horrific fates when lost or allowed outside. There are many people who actually make a living "hunting" pets off of the streets. These animals are sold for their parts and not for pets. These people are in every neighborhood in the country. Your loved one may go to a research facility where unspeakable horrors will be inflicted upon them. Even animals with tags are not safe as tags are simply ignored by the "hunters." Below is only a small list of what each parts of your pets are used for. This happens every single day. This information was obtained from PETA. Eyes: Eyes are stitched shut to simulate blindness. Chemicals such as shampoos, detergents, drain cleaners and other household poisons are injected under the eyelids to observe reactions. Hearts: Forcibly stopped so that medical students can practice resuscitating it again and again. Lungs: Lungs are filled with cigarette smoke to forcibly induce cancer in cancer prevention and treatment studies. Animals are gassed with toxic chemicals and observed for reactions and death. Stomach: Animals are force-fed poisons and observed for reactions and death. Brain and Nervous System: Constantly activated with chemicals for use in sleep deprivation studies. Bodies: Animals are drowned and skinned and sold to local schools for dissection. Remember dissecting cats in junior high? Those cats were taken from the streets and may have been the pets of your neighbors or their children. Skin: Animals are burned for the study of skin grafting and skin replacement.

Consume less meat To produce 1 lb. of beef, we need 16 lbs. of grain & soybeans, 2500 gallons of water, and the energy equivalent of 1 gallon of gasoline. If Americans reduced their meat intake by just 10%, the savings in grains & soybeans could feed approximately 60 million people - the number of people who starve to death worldwide each year. (i know this one doesnt really fit in with the subject but still!)

Don't use styrofoam Why not? Because it's completely non-biodegradable. It also takes up a lot of space for it's weight, which means it's using up huge amounts of space at our already full landfills. Polystyrene foam is deadly to marine life. When sea turtles eat styrofoam, its buoyancy keeps them from diving; it clogs their systems and they starve to death.

Cut six-pack rings Before you throw them away, cut each circle with scissors. The rings get caught on animals, such as sea lions, sea turtles and birds As the animals grow bigger, the plastic rings strangle them to death. Even if you do not live near the ocean, many states will pay other countries to take the trash away. Often it ends up on barges in rivers or on the ocean where thousands of tons of trash spill off into the water every year.

Buy Meat and Eggs from Cage-Free Chickens. Chickens that are raised free-range do not contain hormones and other chemicals used by breeders to make them lay more eggs or grow larger. These chickens are also not as subject to diseases and are treated much better than chickens from chicken farms where they are crowded their entire lives into tiny spaces with less than one square foot of room per chicken! Or even better get a pet chicken!

Use Less Plastic Bags Many animals may accidently swallow the bags and choke to death. You can now get bio degradeble plastic bags or if you can't get them use green bags
Keep your pets safe. Millions of animals are killed in the most horrible ways every year simply because owners are too lazy to get them fixed or to keep them in the house. One male cat that gets outside can impregnate 20 or more females in a season and result in as many as 100-200 stray, unwanted animals. These animals suffer from tortures such as hunger, plagues of fleas and flies, mange, diseases, and deaths related to cars, dogs, and humans. If they do survive, the are picked up by the pound and killed. It would be nice to think that these animals are just put to sleep.
