 3  10 Purina Hall of Fame
Sleeping masters roused to burning homes from beds Steeping toddlers plucked from their watery deaths Ribbons, plaques, and soft-soap are the ephemeral rewards Paid to the slaves whose selfless acts accord A higher value to their masters While parting gifts (bolt pistols) Console the rest, the remainder Too bad the tribute's paid to lives that relegate these thrones To lives spent valuing the runners-up, are known Are to be neither fleeting nor desirable, but nothing surprises me these days I just sit and watch the boxcars roll by and wait Patient Unattended So patient So unattended A package under A terminal bench and A short fuse to scatter Steady hands if I forget to remember That better lives have Been lived in The margins and Locked in the prisons And lost on the gallows Than have ever been enshrined in palaces It's not your fault There's nothing you can do It's just the way it is There's nothing we can do mika_'s rating:
 
1 10 This Is the A.L.F.
What does direct action mean? It means that you are no longer prepared to sit back and allow terrible, cruel things to happen The cameraman in Ethiopia took direct action, he filmed the worst disaster that has ever happened to human beings He realized it was too enormous a problem to handle himself--so he took the films home in the hope other people would help. They did. Are you prepared to sit back any longer? Direct action in animal rights means causing economic damage to those who abuse and make profits from exploitation Start! It's possible to do things alone, slash tires, glue up locks Butchers, burger bars, the furriers, smash windows, bankrupt the lot Throw paint over shops and houses. Paint stripper works great on cars Chewing gum sticks well to fur coats. A seized engine just won't start Sand in the petrol tank means that delivery's going nowhere When the new death shop opens up make sure you're the first person to be there If the circus comes to town remember what goes up must come down Stop contributing to the abuse yourself--don't eat meat, don't buy leather Buy non-animal tested make up, herbal soap and shampoo's better Try and form a group of people that you know that you can trust And plan ambitious direct action, sometimes risky but a must Only when you have animal liberation will we obtain human freedom When the last vivisectionist's blade is snapped It will be that one step nearer to peace Direct action in the animal movement is sussed and strong And our final goal is not far off Animal lovers, vandals, hooligans, cranks Recognize the labels? They say we don't care about human beings We say all sentient beings, animal or human Have the right to live, free from pain, torture, and suffering They say because we are human and speak the same, we matter more Is our pain and suffering any greater or lesser than that of animals? Human v. animal rights is as much a prejudice as black v. white Or the Nazis versus the Jews An affront to our freedom Vivisection is a violation of human beings, the same as it is for animals We have a chemical world built on a pile of drugs to thanks for their experiments Drugs are designed for profit, manufactured to suppress symptoms Human freedom, animal rights: it's one struggle, one fight When animal abuse is stopped then human abuse will soon stop also An attitude of mind. "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" Start by protecting the weak, the defenseless, animals, the sick, the disabled Compassion and emotion are our most important safety values If we lose them, then we lose the vitality of life itself Emotional? Hooligans? Cranks? Slaughter of Innocence The balding man sits compiling his next move That mortgage hangs around his neck, now feeling like a noose The new gas bill, oh God, how bad he feels Those kids he can't reject, his emotional success He's a man of set opinion; the weight of the world sits in his hands He just cannot seem to reason so he will never understand They just won't listen to hardly anything he says They simply smile politely, then with one accord turn away A son stands at the pond observing the creation that is nature Mother prepares dinner, roasting bacon taints the air Dog sits as master barks, then leaps lovingly into the car He waves and smiles emotionally, his assurance that they will go far The stakes rise as each owner unfolds plans men tempt and bait each other, money exchanges hands Animal love now snarling hatred, muzzle unlocked hair raised He smirks from behind the wooden fence and shouts his destitute his praise Teeth tear, blood splashes the face of a young child playing She cries out in disapproval but daddy's now immune to what she is saying Driven mad and into frenzy, limbs torn, skin is shorn Like sex perverts at their peep show, this is the ultimate in porn Eyes glare. Beast and master. Animals both, crazed and weary There can only be one real winner here; the results are now seen clearly Teeth marks bare where fur once protected, flesh hangs dangling in shreds Their faces grimace rejected strips of meat exposed, selected Bloodstains and saliva splatter the fuel of precious life Master and servant segregate the ritual sacrifice Driven mad and into frenzy, limbs torn, skin is shorn Like sex perverts at their peep show, this is the ultimate in porn The sacrifice of innocents who obeyed the spoken law Tired beyond endurance but the spectators cry for more Death before dishonor a demand that is so obscene The men they appraise each other to keep their conscience clean Laughter hides the guilt they feel at every savage blow Someone whispers "cruelty" but they don't want to know The balding man stands silent as slave fights for life He thinks of all the good things that he has promised to his wife She caught a glimpse of God through the windscreen of his car She tried to rationalize her looks but time don't heal the scars Some vague association she feels with the loser of the stake She stares into those sightless eyes, what use for Heaven's sake? The TV flickers images of the ideals she once knew The fresh young girls displaying soap to keep us clean and new She shrugs and folds her arms as he constructs the wooden box To hold his faded hope that took the heaviest of knocks Like pissing in the ocean, their options disappear As they think about the overheads, they know the taste of fear Kids to feed and clothing they must show how much they care But how to tell the birthday gift is lying dead out there What should have paid for birthday cards went on the prime cut beef Now celebrations of their birth make way for tears of grief Did only what they thought was best to give some sense of pride To give the kids a place in life and now the dream has died And how to show his love for her, now she repels his touch His remaining sense of manhood kicked away just like a crutch He promised what he couldn't give, the masters ruling word Urged the beast to glory, but the servant never heard Meat Means Murder I'm walking through the grey walkway of the city And through the brightly lit shops and supermarkets And I'm walking through the fields of the innocent Passing by the fairytale farm Balancing on the brittle edge of a short life That is ended by the knife The factory's still churning out, all processed, packed and neat An obscure butchered substance and the label reads "meat" Hidden behind false names such as pork, ham, veal, and beef An eye’s an eye, a life’s a life, the now forgotten belief Yet, everyday production lines are feeding out this farce To end up on your table, then shat out of your arse Yet, still you’re queuing, and still you’re viewing Sawing out limbs just right for stewing Carcasses piled up in a heap Sort, soft, juicy chunks from freezers deep Well, can’t you see that that juice is blood? From newborn throats, red rivers flood Blood from young hearts blood from the vein Your blood, their blood, serves the same Now you’re at the table, sitting, grinning Sitting there eating, you never realize the filling It’s served upon a sterile plate, you don’t think of the killing The furthest your brain takes you, "is it for frying or grilling?" You moan about the seal cull, about the whale slaughter But does it really matter whether it lives on land or water? You’ve never had a fur coat, you think its cruel to the mink Well, how about the cow, pig or sheep. Don’t they make you think Since the day that you were you born, you’ve never been told the missing link? As I'm gazing at the baneful products And from behind the bright colours and false smiles I can smell the lingering death And see the decaying skins Forth from the green grass The pungent smell of decomposing meat That penetrates the walls of the kitchen And from the red lorries on the black In unison with the red lights and the red juice The Sunday kitchen spills out the stench of the abattoir Serves the same Still you're queuing, and still you're viewing Sawing out limbs just right for stewing Carcasses piled up in a heap Sort, soft, juicy chunks from freezers deep Well, can't you see that that juice is blood? From newborn throats, red rivers flood Blood from young hearts blood from the vein Your blood, their blood, serves the same The Sunday kitchen spills out the stench of the abattoir The butcher's blade glistening in the eye of the 'master' The deadened life of a baby sits upon the plate The spilt guts falling from the chute to the basting tin The carcass from the car crash In the age of the train--direct from the gates of Sobivor mika_'s rating:
2 9 Human(e) Meat (The Flensing of Sandor Katz)
I swear I did my best to ensure that His final moments were swift and free from fear But consideration should be made for the fact That Sandor Katz was my first kill So I trust the reader will Understand that while the screams may wear the seam Like conscious objections they were in reality Simply a request to honor his strength and speed With gratitude and tenderness I seared Every single hair from his body Gently placed his decapitated head in a stock pot Boiled off his flesh and made a spreadable head cheese Because I believe that one can only relate with Another living creature by completely destroying it I'm sure Sandor's friends and family would appreciate this A rationale so moronic it defies belief Post-vegetarian I must submit to you respectfully Be careful what kind of world you wish for Someday it may come knocking on your door Let me in Let me the fuck in I just want to Fully relate I swear I'll do my best to ensure that Your final moments are swift and free from fear mika_'s rating:

3 9 Apparently, I'm a "P.C. Fascist" (Because I Care About Both Human and Non-Human Animals)
Some of my otherwise brilliant and productive friends Like scoundrels and their flags, take final refuge in Character assassinations They ignore the issue and deny the relation Between our consumption and brutality And you can go ahead and roll your eyes And marginalize me And play on insecurities And you can feign ignorance But you're not stupid, you're just selfish And you're a slave to your impulse And I kinda thought we all shared common threads In that we gravitated here to challenge conventions we've been fed By a culture that treats creatures like machines And if you buy that shit then how long 'til it's me Who serves as your commodity Through institutionalized violence and oppression Of workers and women raped by sexism Do you still insist On feigning indignance to reason? To collective self-interest? I'll call you on your shit, please call me on mine Then we can grow together And make this shit-hole planet better In time Consider someone else Nailing Descartes to the Wall/(Liquid) Meat Is Still Murder Stop consuming animals I speak outside what is recognized As the border between "reason" and "insanity" But I consider it a measure of my humanity To be written off by the living graves of a billion murdered lives And I'm not ashamed of my recurring dreams about Me and a gun and a different species of carnage strewn about The stockyards, the factories and farms Still I know as well as anyone It does less good than harm To be this honest with a conscience eased by lies But you cannot deny that Meat is still murder, dairy is still rape And I am still as stupid as anyone, but I know my mistakes And I have recognized one form of oppression, now I recognize the rest Life's too short to make another's shorter mika_'s rating:

Pastry, mixed veg, red bean, courgettes, walnuts, cashews, tomatoes, mushrooms! Let's make a tasty anarcho-pie Ace vegan food for you and I Let's make a tasty anarcho-pie Ace vegan food for you and I Take eight ounces of pastry and, leaving a little bit aside, roll out two equal portions each a quarter inch thick. Then use one of these to carefully line the bottom of your chosen pie dish. Let's make a tasty anarcho-pie Ace vegan food for you and I Let's make a tasty anarcho-pie Ace vegan food for you and I Cook the ingredients for the pie filling separately, and then place these inside the pie dish on top of the pastry base. Wetting the top of the edge of the pastry base, affix the pastry cover to the anarcho-pie. Let's make a tasty anarcho-pie Ace vegan food for you and I Let's make a tasty anarcho-pie Ace vegan food for you and I Now comes the important bit: using the spare bits of pastry, decorate the top of the pie with a pastry anarchy sign--symbolizing our never-ending resistance to the omnicidal system that perverts our lives. After baking the pie in the oven for between thirty and thirty five minutes at approximately four hundred degrees Fahrenheit it should be ready for serving, and by this time should have developed a good crust! Whale Song Once this magnificent animal swam freely in the seas But now held captive for human greed A miserable "life" behind bars and concrete walls No companion killer whales to hear its calls Yes, I'm sickened by what I've seen And the mass Faroe Islands pilot whale slaughter is obscene Brainwashed and desensitized for 24 years My eyes don't easily fill with tears But when I watched those whales scream and die The tears ran freely from my eyes To see them murdered, hacked apart Was like something tearing inside my heart Yet there is hope and I still believe That one day such creatures might all swim free Peaceful coexistence: no fear, no need to hide Ourselves and whales together side by side World Park Antarctica I asked them why The wilderness had to die Their reply to me Showed the reason was naked greed Mass action could stop them, but you've got to start it World park status for the Antarctic Mass action could stop them, but you've got to start it World park status for the Antarctic They rape and plunder whatever they find Sea polluted and minerals mined Poisoned animals slowly die As they suck Antarctica dry Mass action could stop them, but you've got to start it World park status for the Antarctic Mass action could stop them, but you've got to start it World park status for the Antarctic C'mon Chris - gie it laldy ya raj And the factory ships set sail A death sentence for the whale And as the sea turns to red Yet more life blood is shed Mass action could stop them, but you've got to start it World park status for the Antarctic Mass action could stop them, but you've got to start it World park status for the Antarctic Park proposals are greeted with mirth by those who rape our earth so will you really just stand by and watch the last great wilderness die? Antarctica: twelve million square kilometers of the last almost untouched wilderness left on earth. It is thus vital that it is protected from greed of those who would turn it into a vast open-cast mineral mine. Unchallenged, such commercial exploitation will simply kill this continent. Toxic waste will be pumped into the seas (as the Americans are already doing at their base at McMurdo sound), rubbish will be simply thrown away and the inevitable oil disasters similarly to the Exxon Valdez in Alaska will ruin the coastal ecology. Then governments and multinationals will move on, leaving it poisoned and scarred. Only one thing stands in their way: you Mass action could stop them, but you've got to start it World park status for the Antarctic Mass action could stop them, but you've got to start it World park status for the Antarctic mika_'s rating:
