All wars are wars on animals birds and fishes as well as forests. <br><br> Animals are voiceless victims of the 12 wars Hillary Clinton has hawkishly advocated while Secretary of State. Animals are bombed, burned, starved, smashed by tanks, shot by machine guns, abandoned by refugees, bulldozed in zoos, abandoned in warzones by soldiers returning home. They are kidnapped to pull loads, seized butchered and eaten, tortured in military labs. Dolphins. shackled into being forced bomb carriers and dogs as forced minesniffers have been blown to smithareens. <br><br> Trillions of animals died in World War I and II. Countless trillions of animals died in World War II of atom bomb testing as they were left behind in the desert. 20 million horses died in World War I. <br><br> Animals have been the devoured, the blinded, the maimed, <br>  <br> the dis-armed, the trampled, the lamed <br>  <br> They died freezing, blown apart, drowned, unfamed, <br>  <br> these helpless victims, silent and unnamed <br><br> It is likely that military in other countries harm animals. Do citizens of the US have a duty first to end cruelty at home?. <br><br> BOMBS WHICH BURN <br>  <br> 1 People animals birds are killed burned blown apart by bombs, rockets, missiles. <br>  <br> LAND MINES <br>  <br> 2 People animals birds are blown apart by mines of war profiteers <br>  <br> both when forced into service as dolphin or dog minesniffers <br>  <br> or as unsuspecting victims of mines... A rhino whose legs <br>  <br> were turned to jelly by a landmine in Africa was one <br>  <br> of billions of animal, bird and other victims of landmines. <br>  <br> Children think the land mines are toys and blow off their hands <br>  <br> picking them up. <br>  <br> USE OF ANIMALS AS WEAPONS CARRIERS <br>  <br> 3 The US regime under Reagan pretrained mules as Afghan ammunitions carriers. The mules were blown up not only by accidents on the trails but by combatants. <br>  <br> 4 The US Navy has electroshocked porpoises and turned them into weapons carriers. (See Day of the Dolphin by former navy researcher Lilly) <br>  <br> BOMBING OF OIL REFINERIES <br>  <br> 5 Whales, dolphins, fishes, turtles, sea birds are killed in oil spills from bombing power plants. 15,000 tons of oil <br>  <br> have been dumped into the Mediterranean by the Israeli <br>  <br> bombing of a Lebanese power plant. <br>  <br> ZOOS BULLDOZED AND BOMBED <br>  <br> 6 Animals are bulldozed (killed or backs broken) in zoos in wartorn areas.* <br>  <br> The Nazis bombed London zoos. Churchill retaliated <br>  <br> bombing the Berlin Zoo.

An Army course manual instructs soldiers to kill a chicken &ldquo;by placing its head under a strong stick, placing both your feet on either end of the stick &hellip; and pulling vigorously until its head is pulled off.&rdquo; Another Army manual says, &ldquo;You can club small mammals or step on them.&rdquo; <br><br> Department of the Air Force Instructor Guide: Basic Combat Survival Training Field Training <br>  <br> INSTRUCTIONAL AIDS: <br>  <br> 1.

Containers\/utensils for cooking <br><br> The U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marines have confirmed that at least six military courses currently engage in these exercises year-round, and there have been many reports of others. Government documents show that two Air Force bases alone use more than 1,500 rabbits each year, at a cost of more than $10,000.1 According to a 1997 Department of Defense (DoD) report, the Air Force kills more rabbits in its &ldquo;survival skills&rdquo; courses than does the entire DoD in all its research facilities combined.2 Estimates reveal that well over 10,000 animals are used every year in military food procurement exercises. <br><br> Typically, soldiers either carry their own animals in a backpack for several days before killing them or the animals are taken by vehicle into the woods, where they are &ldquo;liberated&rdquo; and then &ldquo;recaptured,&rdquo; says Sergeant Fredrickson of Dugway Proving Ground. Eyewitness accounts describe soldiers who are &ldquo;required to stroke the rabbit to calm it, then bash it on the head &hellip; the rabbits don&rsquo;t always die with the first blow.&rdquo; <br><br> The military claims that these exercises are a necessary part of troop preparation. Major Tammy Miracle of the Massachusetts National Guard claims that killing docile animals &ldquo;prepare[s] a soldier to fight in today&rsquo;s modern battlefield.&rdquo; She admits that although &ldquo;this type of training may seem unusual &hellip; readiness remains to be the Army Guard&rsquo;s overarching priority.&rdquo; <br><br> These exercises, however, fail to teach relevant skills to soldiers who may one day experience life-threatening adverse conditions. It is pointless for a soldier to practice killing small domestic mammals and birds, considering that in a real-life survival experience, few would have trouble killing such an animal if survival depended on it. After all, soldiers do not practice by killing other humans in order to be effective in combat situations. In the past, there have been occasions when such exercises were canceled after receiving national exposure3&mdash;yet thousands of animals continue to suffer each year on military bases that pursue this training. <br><br> Please contact your senators and representative and request that they introduce language into this year&rsquo;s Defense Appropriations Bill that explicitly prohibits the use of your taxpayer dollars to purchase live animals for military &ldquo;survival skills training.&rdquo; If you don&rsquo;t know their contact information, please call the Congressional Switchboard at 202-225-3121, provide your state or zip code, and ask to be transferred to their offices or click here to obtain the information through a web page. <br><br> 1 Fairchild Air Force Base, WA 99011-8648; United States Air Force Academy, CO 80840-6260 <br>  <br> 2 &ldquo;Department of Defense Animal Care and Use Programs 1997&rdquo; <br>  <br> 3 United States Army Dugway Proving Ground; Massachusetts Army National Guard <br><br> ************* <br><br> 15 Ways AntiHealth Departments Connected To Pharmaceutical <br>  <br> Servants of the CDC Operate <br>  <br> 1.Across the country, many health <br>  <br> departments ignore the many salmonella and ecoli violations <br>  <br> at mega fast food outlets while bringing down great force on small <br>  <br> operations. <br>  <br> 2.

Health department directors and sanitarians, building inspectors <br>  <br> are unelected. <br>  <br> 5. Health departments are eliminating fireflies, monarch butterflies, <br>  <br> dragonflies, and countless diverse species as they spray poisons in <br>  <br> the air of communities, poisoning the waters and air, violating <br>  <br> the will of the people and enriching huge chemical companies. <br>  <br> 6. Health departments in concert with the CDC are deliberately <br>  <br> misclassifying Mad Cow, Mad Pig, Mad Chicken, Mad Fish, Mad Deer <br>  <br> and other BSE deaths as meningitis, <br>  <br> encephalitis, leukemia, Alzheimer&rsquo;s, brain tumors etc. <br>  <br> 7. Health departments have given orders to remove centenarian trees <br>  <br> as they dictate to homeowners what they can do on their own <br>  <br> property. <br>  <br> 8. Health departments have been involved in a genocidal war against <br>  <br> rats and have violated the spiritual beliefs of Franciscans, Buddhists, <br>  <br> Hindus, Sufis, Jains and many others whose religions teach that all life is sacred. <br>  <br> 9. In many cities a mayor can use many agencies in a coordinated <br>  <br> attack against his political opponents. <br>  <br> A disgruntled neighbor can activate <br>  <br> the local health department, <br>  <br> building inspection, animal control, <br>  <br> police, fire inspectors can give <br>  <br> a constant parade of harrassers to <br>  <br> someone. Health department officials have <br>  <br> been known to threaten calls to the building <br>  <br> inspector unless their privacy invading <br>  <br> &lsquo;sanitarian&rsquo; is allowed in. <br>  <br> 10. Through compulsory pet <br>  <br> vaccinations, through promotion <br>  <br> of Glaxo, Roche, Aventis, Chiron <br>  <br> and other war profiteer &lsquo;flu&rsquo; shots, <br>  <br> health departments enable <br>  <br> the engorging of international <br>  <br> drug companies. <br>  <br> 11. A Canton Ohio health department <br>  <br> director threatened a resident with <br>  <br> jail because she was feeding a stray <br>  <br> cat. <br>  <br> 12. Health departments comb <br>  <br> the yards of the poor for feces <br>  <br> from their pets while ignoring <br>  <br> factory farms and slaughterhouse <br>  <br> operations (Smithfield, Tyson&rsquo;s, Perdue, <br>  <br> Cargill, Ohio Fresh Eggs, DeCoster&rsquo;s) which <br>  <br> dump untold trillions of gallons <br>  <br> of feces and urine into the <br>  <br> water systems. <br>  <br> 13. In many cities, the local health <br>  <br> department has pressured city councils <br>  <br> into trapping cats and dogs rather than spaying them. Why? Because <br>  <br> laboratories such as Harvard, UC Davis, <br>  <br> Univ of Texas, Univ of Wisconsin, Yale, <br>  <br> Cornell, Princeton, Yerkes, Emory <br>  <br> want a constant stream of animals <br>  <br> to kill. <br>  <br> 14. Raccoons are being poisoned <br>  <br> with what the public is told <br>  <br> is rabies vaccine. <br>  <br> 15. The socalled West Nile Virus comes <br>  <br> to carnivorous birds and is misnamed <br>  <br> .. the CDC and Health Dept. in order <br>  <br> to avoid panic about the pandemic <br>  <br> of Avian Spongiform Encephalopathy <br>  <br> or Mad Chicken has lied about this. <br>  <br> The Ecoli Scam <br><br> The animal flesh industry dominated government agencies around the world do not <br>  <br> publicize the billions of food poisoning cases annually, <br>  <br> the cancer, heart disease, Mad Cow, Mad Pig, Mad Chicken <br>  <br> Mad Fish etc. <br><br> The CDC and public &lsquo;health&rsquo; departments in the US <br>  <br> have many gullible people in the populace convinced <br>  <br> that unclean hands are the main cause of ecoli or colon <br>  <br> bacteria. In reality, the fast food outbreaks of ecoli <br>  <br> are censored. Non animal sources of ecoli are one tenth <br>  <br> of one percent, perhaps, of the total. <br><br> Dr John Harvey Kellogg, MD, relative of someone who <br>  <br> founded Kellogg Cereals, studied colon bacteria and found <br>  <br> that within 4 hours of a mammal&rsquo;s murder, the <br>  <br> ecoli had multiplied by billions. <br><br> When mammals are murdered, they are waiting in queue, <br>  <br> terrified, hearing the screams of their friends or family. <br>  <br> They defecate in fright, all over themselves, all over <br>  <br> their hair covered skin, all over the floor They <br>  <br> are disemboweled, sometimes while still alive but there is <br>  <br> no way to remove all the colon (ecoli is used to hide <br>  <br> the intestinal waste origins) bacteria. <br><br> <a
