Vegetarian Star

A Pennsylvania based animal rights group is getting ready to close a deal to buy Michael Vick‘s former home that was the headquarters to dog fighting activities he was convicted for.

Dogs Deserve Better had originally tried to raise enough money to purchase the 4,600-square-foot house and 15-acre property in Surry, Virginia by March, but failed.

Like several of Vick’s former dogs that were given a second chance on life, Dogs Deserve Better has been given another opportunity to purchase the home and is expected to close the deal for a loan towards the end of May.

“Industrial animal production destroys everything it touches. It destroys the animals, it destroys the workers, it destroys the communities, and it destroys the people who consume the animal products… Unfortunately, the people who produce meat, the people who produce dairy, and the people who produce eggs – they’re lying to you. So do what you can, educate yourself, know where your food comes from, and then make the ethical choice.”

—Moby, in a PSA against the large-scale industrial production of animal products for food.

“Years later I went to a Farm Sanctuary event and I saw these cows. Their utters were so enormous that they were dragging down the ground that they were limping and falling down. And this is happening because I eat cheese! I said never ever again. That was it!”

—Rory Freedman, co-author of the best selling Skinny Bitch books, in an interview with Global Grind on what made her change from vegetarian to vegan. Because cows on farms are forced to produce unnaturally large volumes of milk–often with the assistance of machines–they’re likely to have breasts sorer than what you’d experience after a usual mammogram. A bacterial infection in the udders, mastitis, is very common in dairy cows but they are also prone to developing Bovine Leukemia Virus, Bovine Immunodeficiency Virus, and Johne’s disease (the human counterpart to Crohn’s disease).
