The Princes Highway near Melbourne was littered with dead and injured sheep after a truck carrying 400 livestock crashed and hung precariously off an overpass last night .
The dramatic crash in Laverton North occurred when the sheep-carrying truck was travelling to Geelong on the Western Ring Road off-ramp at about 9pm(AEST).
The falling sheep hit two vehicles below. One of the cars rolled numerous times but the occupants were not injured, police said. The truck driver is also uninjured.
The inbound Princes Highway has been blocked, with one outbound lane of the Westgate Freeway also closed. Police said the sheep carcasses will likely be cleaned up by council rangers on Friday morning. No other vehicle was involved in the crash.
“The sheep have been destroyed, no one has been seriously hurt.” - Lisa Wilkinson (Today host)
No one has been seriously hurt? 400 fucking lives have been destroyed. As soon as I heard this this morning I cried. Fuck this. Fuck everyone.How fucking awful, that this happened and no one even wants to acknowledge that it mattered.
Unfortunately relevant to my last post.
They are not “carcasses” they are the bodies of beautiful creatures who should have been given a chance to live.

A crash involving a cattle transport truck displays our blatant disregard for the well being of nonhumans →
The accident, which appeared to be caused by driver error, as the driver not only did not have the proper license, but was also under the influence, resulted in firefighters and sheriff’s deputies “wading through dead cows to get to the survivors.”
Sadly, the main focus in the media attention generated by the accident was that a major highway had to be closed and caused delays for drivers. Reporters called it a “Traffic Nightmare,” ignoring the very real nightmare endured by the cows.
*Taken directly from article
I want to point out as well that it is interesting how sometimes (clearly not in this case) individuals will express discontent over the crash of a transport truck which is carrying nonhumans, when these creatures were probably on their way to be slaughtered for human appetites in the first place.
Are you upset because now the murder is right in front of your eyes?
Oh. True. I’ll make sure to do everything I can to make their suffering as visible, and you as uncomfortable, as possible, from now on.

For all of you who follow me for my veganness.
I haven’t been posting much original stuff, because right now, the focus in my life has been my disabilties, finding support, and healing.
But I promise I will get back to more animal rightsy stuff soon.
I also promise that I still totally adore bovines.
Love you gals/guys!
I hope you get to feeling better soon!

The Superior Human?
“The Superior Human?” is the first documentary to systematically challenge the common human belief that humans are superior to other life forms. The documentary reveals the absurdity of this belief while exploding human bias.
This is amazing.

FUR FOX FARM IN STAWIEC, POLAND
Last Friday, 27th April 2012, after receiving a few disturbing photographs from an anonymous informer, Polish Animal Protection Society ‘Ekostraż’, in co-operation with members of the Coalition for Banning Fur Farming in Poland ANTYFUTRO.PL, assisted by the police, conducted an intervention on a fox farm in Stawiec (Poland, Lower Silesia). The following is a short presentation of the intervention, and of the conditions under which animals on that farm spend their entire lives, before they are killed for their skin.
All photos from the intervention can be found HERE
The foxes are kept in improvised containers made of old, rusty stoves and ovens, or in provisional cages that don’t provide any protection from sun and rain, or access to drinking water. The entire farm is unkempt and filthy, with massive heaps of foul smelling excrement directly below the cages. You can easily imagine what it feels like to be locked in a hot, metal oven during the summer, or not to have a roof upon your head. The animals spend the few months of their lives on extremely uncomfortable wire flooring, only to be killed in the same horrid conditions. As their flesh is not meant to be for human food, no one cares about any sanitary norms or standards.
The farm belongs in the legal jurisdiction of the District Veterinary Officer in Milicz. His deputy, Nataila Misiek, who was called out by the activists, denied conducting a routine control procedure, giving the excuse of not having the control protocol with her. Although, when the activists gave her a copy of the official protocol for veterinary inspections, previously printed and ready to be filled, she denied again and, despite their requests, didn’t give any reason for such decision. She claimed that she had been to the farm in the autumn and had even witnessed the slaughter. She described the conditions on the farm as ‘not particularly outstanding’. Ms Misiek was extremely unprofessional and showed signs of utter ignorance in the field of her own profession - she appeared to be unfamiliar with the Polish Animal Protection Act from 1997 (the activists were under the impression that she didn’t even know of the Act’s existence in Polish law).
This farm has been in existence for 30 years. The owner claims that he tries to provide his foxes with “decent” living conditions. He didn’t allow the activists to enter the farm, saying that ‘it’s not a zoo’ and the foxes (which are now in their breeding season) would be stressed. While the activists were talking to the owner, his employees tried to quickly hush up the most obvious and visible faults on the farm, for example by covering roofless cages with pieces of hardboard.
Although no one entered the farm, the photo and video material collected by the activists is enough to start legal procedures against the farm’s owner (animal abuse) and the veterinary officer (professional negligence). The Animal Protection Society ‘Ekostraż’ has filed a complaint to the prosecution and will try to obtain a court order to take away the animals and close the farm once and for all.
Poland is the world’s 4th largest fur producer with approximately 800 fur farms. Some of them are small like this one, but there are also huge, industrialised facilities, killing hundreds of thousands of animals (mainly foxes and minks) every year. The number still increases because, due to restrictions and bans on fur farming in Western Europe, farmers move their businesses to Poland and other Eastern countries. Although the conditions on some farms may be better than in Stawiec, animals on every fur farm suffer enormously, due to the unfulfilment of their species basic territorial needs as well as to physical and mental diseases. Their suffering and death is absolutely unnecessary and it’s caused only by human greed and vanity. Please don’t buy any fur ‘products’, react in cases of witnessing any animal abuse and support Polish activists in their fight for banning fur farming in Poland.

“Update: The piglet that we rescued on a previous occasion never recovered from his sordid state and sadly passed away in the loving arms of vets and carers. The fact that he died in a loving environment and not a cold, dirty and loveless floor made it all worth it. R.I.P little fella.
His death was not in vain and we are now going to make sure justice is served! We returned to the farm and liberated another 5 piglets, 2 of which were in the same litter as the little guy that didn’t make it. We from now on will be waging war on this farm and our actions will become more and more intense as time goes on.
We will be back!- Animal Liberation Front”

I am currently trying to find an animal sanctuary to relocate the goat and the sheep.
I have found one place that will take the sheep but not the goat but they are friends and must stay together. This is proving to be difficult.
The man who lives above me is neglecting these beautiful animals. They are forced to live their days at the end of tangled cords with little food and often times no water or shelter so I have taken it upon myself to find them a safe forever home. If anyone knows anyone in Washington state I could bring these animals to, let me know! I want to move them as soon as possible.
Signal Boost.
Gosh they are lovely.
