Phajaan is the traditional Asian torture of young elephants to break their spirit. They are taken from their mothers then caged, starved, beaten, poked and cut and kept awake for days until they become submissive under the torture. Many, especially the ones with stronger wills, die from shock and lack of water/stress/injuries, as the people will not stop until the elephants are judged to be “broken” or completely submissive .
This is meant to tame elephants also many wild animals in the circus have their spirits broke to break their wild instinct.

Bonfire of the endangered animals: Rare stuffed tigers and bears heaped on to pile and burned
Dumped on to a pile and set alight, these stuffed carcasses are engulfed in flames after authorities in Jakarta confiscated them.
Officials in Jakarta seized hundreds of the endangered animals, which had all been slaughtered by poachers and then stuffed so that buyers could proudly display their senseless kill.
In total 258 animals from different 48 species - including 15 tigers, 2 sun bears and 48 deer - were destroyed
The animals in question had all been killed by poachers before being stuffed and sold to be displayed in people's homes.
In Indonesia trading in or being in possession of certain protected animals or their body parts - such as the Sumatran tiger - is an offence.

These great vegetarians, such as Pythagoras, Plato, Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, George Bernard Shaw, Nikola Tesla, Shopenhauer, Thoreau, Leonardo Da Vinci, Voltaire etc. knew there could be no spiritual advancement while a
ttaining ones nourishment from cruelty and the exploitation of others.
Albert Einstein:
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survi
val of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
Leonardo DaVinci:
"I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men." DaVinci claimed that flesh eaters were using their bodies as "grave yards."
Charles Darwin:
"The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man."
Thomas Edison:
"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages."
George Bernard Shaw:
"We pray on Sundays that we may have light to guide our footsteps on the path we tread; We are sick of war we don't want to fight. And yet we gorge ourselves upon the dead."
Percy Bysshe Shelley:
"Let the advocate of animal food force himself to a decisive experiment on its fitness, and as Plutarch recommends, tear a living lamb with his teeth and, plunging his head into its vitals slake his thirst with the steaming blood."
Henry David Thoreau (1817-62), U.S. philosopher, author, naturalist. Walden, "Economy" (1854):
One farmer says to me, "You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with"; and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.
Henry David Thoreau:
I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.
Mark Twain:
It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.
Benjamin Franklin:
Flesh eating is "unprovoked murder." On the subject of vegetarianism, Franklin noted that one will achieve "greater progress, from the greater clearness of head and quicker comprehension."
Thomas A Edison, 1847-1931:
"The Doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Francis of Assisi:
"Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission-to be of service to them wherever they require it."
Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi:
"To my mind the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."
Abraham Lincoln:
"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being."
Thomas Paine:
"Everything of persecution and revenge between man and man, and everything of cruelty to animals, is a violation of moral duty."
Henry Salt:
"The emancipation of men from cruelty and injustice will bring with it in due course the emancipation of animals also. The two reforms are inseparably connected, and neither can be fully realized alone."
Albert Schweitzer:
"...the time is coming when people will be amazed that the human race existed so long before it recognized that thoughtless injury to life is incompatible with real ethics. Ethics is in its unqualified form extended responsibility to everything that has life."
George Bernard Shaw:
"Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character."
Leo Tolstoy:
"If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals."
Alice Walker:
"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites, or women created for men."
President Abraham Lincoln:
I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.
Pythagoras:
Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul.
Pythagoras:
The earth affords a lavish supply of richess of innocent foods, and offers you banquets that involve no bloodshed or slaughter; only beasts satisfy their hunger with flesh, and not even all of those, because horses, cattle, and sheep live on grass.
George Bernard Shaw:
A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
George Bernard Shaw:
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
George Bernard Shaw:
Animals are my friends; I don't eat my friends.
John Robbins (p. 49 Diet for a New America):
Our understanding of what constitutes intelligence is utterly relative. If an aborigine drafted an I.Q. test, for example, all of Western civilization would probably flunk. We have a very convenient and self-serving way of defining intelligence. If an animal does something, we call it instinct. If we do the same thing for the same reason, we call it intelligence.
Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi:
"To my mind the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."
"I was a cannibal for twenty-five years. For the rest I have been a vegetarian." ~ George Bernard Shaw
In addition to his writings on non-violence, Leo Tolstoy's advocacy of vegetarianism led to his friendship with Mohandas Gandhi. He wrote several essays about vegetarianism, but perhaps never more compellingly than when he said:
"flesh eating is simply immoral, as it involves the performance of an act, which is contrary to moral feeling: killing."
Nikola Tesla was a humanitarian who loved animals. He argued that animal slaughter was “wanton and cruel” and eventually became a vegetarian.
Voltaire was an advocate of civil rights and freedom. He also believed in the virtues of vegetarianism. He once wrote that "men fed upon carnage, and drinking strong drinks, have all an impoisoned and arid blood which drives them mad in a hundred different ways." This sounds like an early precursor of the phrase "you are what you eat."

Some good news. A shortened version of this add is being run on TV channels here and thousands are going to the website pledging to help put an end to factory farming in various ways, believing it can and should be done. Yay

I wonder how it felt to the revolutionaries in times past when they looked around them and everyone either had a black person as a slave, or owned something whi
ch had been made by slave workers, or bought their sugar or other foodstuffs with packages which showed racist images of happy slaves working. When everyone’s language and perspective was so heavily racist that relations between black and white people were frowned, on…their very way of talking had to establish dominance one over the other. The insanity of all that one race believing they were superior, insisting, brainwashing one another with that. The thugs and most stupid least evolved or conscious of the more dominant race would just enjoy their power trip, be violent and abusive with relish that they could do that and be assured, it was their right, because they were better than. But those who had any sense of decency must have always felt this to be wrong, and eventually their decency won through. Though there is certainly still racism and inequality, there are laws to protect all races from violent oppression now.
Same with the women, I wonder how it felt when they longed for change, intended to make that change happen, but looked around them and saw a world not only owned and run by men, but which had laws which made it almost impossible for a woman to speak or act or move without permission. And the dense heavy attitude which policed them and their female nature, the dismissing, trivialising of them, telling them what to do, similar to the way white people once spoke to black people, in a way that established how much lower, insignificant and worthless they were. Insane!
How impossible it must all have seemed to those bound and confined and abused by these oppressive systems.
Yet change came, the decency of human spirit triumphed in every case, over the evil of mindless brutal oppression.
The animals cannot speak for themselves so we have to be their voice. Animals in their level of consciousness are similar to small children, they suffer, fear, fight for their lives, run from their tormentors and are just as miserable being squashed up in cages and thrown, punched, mutilated, stabbed and killed as a small child would be. Similarly they love, are affectionate to kind people, form bonds, are playful, love attention and to be safe from harm as a three year old child does.
Our oppression of other species is the most extreme form of racism which currently has hold over human minds so much that humans are convinced they are a superior race and are systematically torturing and killing every other species without compunction. Using them for their very flesh skin and hair.
The ending of this oppression of other species will be the most fundamental shift in consciousness ever happened to our species, we will rise up out of the moral level of brutal cruel savages, to truly being conscious, kind, caring guardians of all those more vulnerable than ourselves.

Hong Kong on Track for Record Illegal Ivory Haul
As demand for ivory booms across the border in China, Hong Kong is on track to record its heftiest annual haul
of seized elephant ivory in recent history.
Hong Kong customs officials seized 4.6 tons of ivory in the first 10 months of 2012, up nearly 25% from a year earlier, a government spokesman said. This year’s tally got a boost from a massive seizure made in late October, in which smugglers tried to camouflage the tusks, which were shipped from Kenya and Tanzania, by hiding them amid plastic scraps and beans. Officials also seized an additional 1.4 tons last month, in a shipment that contained 569 tusks covered by a cascade of sunflower seeds ...
“Even those countries that have what they say are healthy elephant populations are now experiencing increasing problems with their poaching,” said Mary Rice of the nonprofit Environmental Investigation Agency.
A decade ago, there were 60,000 elephants in Tanzania’s Selous National Park, which is supposed to be home to the country’s largest elephant population, Ms. Rice says. She says that that number has rapidly fallen.
“I was there in October and we struggled to find elephants. There are tourists who’ve been to the area recently and left without seeing a single elephant,” she says.

The line is never stopped because an animal is alive- I've seen thousands of cows go through the slaughter process alive, they blink, cry out, and their eyes are wide and looking around - they die piece by piece- Martin Fuantes slaughterhouse worker[/b]
[b]Well done.
Yes, this is how we treat them. How we treat those peacful animals, how we protect them and how me respect them.
Congratulations Humans...

This photograph from the mid-1870s shows of a pile of American bison skulls waiting to be ground up for fertilizer. This species was driven to the brink of extinction by the greed of mankind and the same is happening today with numerous species that inhabit our oceans. Countless smaller species of fish are fished, primarily to be ground up as fishmeal and used to feed cattle or turned into fertilizer. Join our growing movement today and help end the industrial overfishing of our oceans. Learn more about our mission and how you can take part at http://www.theblackfish.org/

During Animal Aid's investigations inside British dairy farms, one relief worker stated:
"When I got to the farm, I could see that a cow had just calved. The young calf was just a few hours old and was suckling. I stood watching and smiling. There is no more beautiful sight. The farmer came over and - I thought - tousled the calf's ear. But there was a gun in his other hand and he put it to the calf's head. When the shot fired, the mother jumped and ran. The calf went down kicking but he didn't die outright. He was dragged away, still kicking as the milk spilled from his mouth."
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case but a legalized standard practice in the dairy industry.
