Un-American About Animals
by Peter Singer

What country has the most advanced animal protection legislation in the world? If you guessed the United States, go to the bottom of the class. The United States lags far behind all 25 nations of the European Union, and most other developed nations as well, such as Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. To gauge just how far behind the United States is, consider these three facts:

# Around 10 billion farm animals are killed every year by US meat, egg, and dairy industries; the estimated number of animals killed for research every year is 20 million to 30 million, a mere 0.3 of that number.

# In the United States, there is no federal law governing the welfare of animals on the farm. Federal law begins only at the slaughterhouse.

# Most states with major animal industries have written into their anticruelty laws exemptions for "common farming practices." If something is a common farming practice, it is, according to these states, not cruel, and you can't prosecute anyone for doing it.

Together these last two points mean that any common farming practice is legal. If you hear farm industry lobbyists trying to tell you that there is no problem in the United States because unhappy animals would not be productive, ask them how it can be good for a hen to be kept with four or five other hens in a cage so small she couldn't stretch her wings even if she had the whole cage to herself.

I've done my laundry, and taken a shower, and now I'm at dragon_mintz's house. She's had her own medical issues lately, so the two of us are quite the pair.

I already called into work for tomorrow. So I get another day off, but this one is unpaid.

When she picked me up from my parents' house, I realized it was the first time I'd left the house (other than to get the newspaper from the driveway) since I'd come home on Friday. Wheee. I'm also wearing real clothes for once instead of pj's and/or my sarong.

I washed the sarong today with my laundry. I'd been feeling like Linus, I had with me everywhere. I wrapped it around my waist, I used it as a blanket when I napped on the couch, I drooled on it quite a bit. Yucko. *lol*

My jaw aches and I have a headache but it's not too bad. I fear my appointment tomorrow. I hope they make me numb if it's going to hurt to clean out my gums.

If dragon_mintz's scale isn't lying, I've gained seven pounds since my teeth were pulled.

Yeah, remember that post I made about food a few days ago? I've been eating like that every single day. In other words, I've been eating all damn day, every day.

I don't really know why. My only guess at this point is that taking Adderall for so long has fucked with my hungry/full signals. *shrug*

The times I've gained weight, it's been over several months or more. To gain it that quickly feels really freaky. Oof.

The "full" in my mood icon looks pissy.
