Editor's note:

If you love dogs and enjoy their company; if you want to have the freedom to own or breed them, you need to know how they can be used to drive a wedge in societal beliefs.  

If you eat butter or drink milk; if you wear silk shirts or leather shoes; if you love fried chicken - then you need to understand the ways in which "Animal Rights" or "AR Extremists" use animals as the vehicle to drive away with your God-given rights.  

Do not be fooled by the appeal to your humanity.  These groups are not about animal welfare.  If they were, they would rescue all the frightened pets waiting to be killed in the "humane" societies and animal shelters.  They have the funds to do so.  They got the money from you!

This may be a difficult subject but to know your enemy and his true agenda is to have some hope of defeating him.

Some of the greatest minds in the sport have spoken out about the true agenda of PETA, ALF, and other such organizations.  Patty Haines, Sally Bishop, Trish Kanzler, the list is long and distinguished.  We should take heed.

So, because this is really about PEOPLE and not at all about protecting the  animals, we have included   background information that will help you weigh the honesty and intent of such organizations.

As gene manipulation, cloning, and the newly approved genetic vaccines enter the marketplace, we have a new duty to our pets, and to our  children's children.  The future of the human race is yet to be told.

Nanotechnology may indeed lead to healthier lives but one has to wonder where else it will lead in the meantime?

THE TRUTH ABOUT PETA, PEOPLE, and MEAT

As you well know this isn’t a religious column, but I have to revert back to my first love, and that is Anthropology.  In any country, the social mores are more often than not, based on the religious beliefs of the particular country.  So to begin with I want to take a quote out of the Bible.

“…………And have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for MEAT. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:….”

That having been said of the social mores of this country, you may now ask, “ then why do we eat meat?” And that is a very good question.  No one knows for sure when meat eating began, but we do know that it was because cultivation was more difficult than going out and killing an animal to eat.  As hard as that was, it was easier than trying to get plants to grow without the convenience of water and tools.  So, to survive,  we became meat eaters, and so it continues today.

On both sides of the fence we are faced with people that really don’t know the body and or the history of how, it, or we, evolved.  They speak from emotion with the voice of authority.  I wish I had a dollar for every patient that came to me run down physically, emotionally depressed, and in total despair, from  trying to become a vegetarian.  So right now I am gong to say this, and I more than likely will repeat it again and again.  Why?  Because some people just don’t get it!  MAN WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A MEAT EATER, TRUE, BUT NOW THAT HE IS, HE CANNOT CHANGE WITHOUT HARM TO THE METABOLIC MAKE UP OF HIS BODY. The harm can be as serious as various diseases, or as minor as acne.  It will all depend on the individual, because first, and foremost we are all individuals.

In case you don’t know the difference between being a vegetarian and a vagan here it is. A vegetarian will eat some animal by-products; milk, eggs, cheese, or yogurt. A vagan will eat no meat, or by-products from animals sources.

So, why the fuss you ask?  Well, let me explain from the beginning.

WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED METABOLIC MAKEUP?

The human body is made up of approximately one hundred trillion cells.  These cells are constantly metabolizing the nutrients supplied to them.  By the time that you have read this sentence, over one million, three hundred fifty thousand new cells will be born in your body replacing those that no longer function efficiently.  One billion new cells are made each hour.  Each cell in itself is far more complicated than even the most intricate electronic computer and all the cells together form the most complex system that can be imagined- your body.

We know of and have isolated more than 50 nutritional substances which the body must have regularly to maintain growth, development and a normal, healthful condition.  In addition, there are numerous unidentified substances in natural foods which are known to be of value.  The human body is the most complex and intricate chemical laboratory ever designed.  It takes in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and through millions of biochemical and bioelectrical reactions, produces a beautiful life force - YOU.

Each individual is designed and built differently from others.  A passenger car is not designed to haul gravel- a gravel truck is not designed to be an ambulance.  Men are not designed to have babies- women are not designed to have hair on their chests.  Each individual must learn the limits of his or her design and capacities.  The very best nutrition can do no more than help maintain physiological function within the individual’s design limits.

Nutrition cannot redevelop missing tissue, replace needed surgical operations, substitute for structural adjustments, meet the needs of psychological counseling, fill cavities or correct all disease conditions.  A proper, well-balanced nutritional program will supply the raw materials which are absolutely necessary for maximum body function.

Proper nutrition can, and does, prevent, lessen and help heal the chronic deficiency conditions that plague our society.  Good nutrition is absolutely necessary to help prevent birth defects, chronic diseases, delinquency, crime, senility, exhaustion, depression and the multitude of other conditions that are so persistent.  It can contribute to many years of happy living that are free of ailments and a life filled with a better sense of well-being.  Adequate faith and dedication will carry you through the many experiences which you will face as you work to achieve a balance in your diet.

I must point out, that there are at the very least, ten metabolic types.  Each type will require a different combination of foods to maintain or to achieve optimal health.  It requires a very lengthy written test and extensive blood analysis to discern which of the ten you are.  For the person that is in search of optimal health, it is fool hardy to take the word of an organization (PETA) that says young people would be better off drinking beer than milk and that doesn’t know enough about nutrition to be able to explain why margarine is better for you than butter.  To change ones metabolic type can not only cause health problems, but if you manage to survive the health problems that will surely assail you and you continue on with the diet of a vegetarian, it can take up to 7 years to become accustomed to the new diet so that your body functions in a healthful way, and then maybe, you can say that you have successfully changed your metabolic system.

There is so much to know about metabolic typing.  It is not something that you read a book to learn.  It takes years of study and application.  That is why it is a specialty in today’s health care field. It would be foolhardy for me to think that I could teach you that specialty in this article, but I can make you aware.  Aware of your health and the health of your pet. In Health Care it is ALWAYS foolhardy to make a blanket statement about any health issue because each and every body functions differently.  That is why I would like make you aware of what other individuals are willing to do to you, your children and your grandchildren.  Then I will let you be the judge of what you are going to do about it.

It is always wise to be suspect of wolves in sheep’s clothing.  If an organization has a political ax to grind, and that ax has nothing to do with the topic that they are purporting to support, then research into the organization before you put your health into their hands, let alone your money.  You certainly would not go to an auto mechanic to have your gall bladder taken out.  On the other hand, the surgeon would not make a good car mechanic.

I am not a political person.  I AM however a flag waver and I’m proud of it.  My feelings are “My country right or wrong, my country.”  What I love the most about this country is that you can always make a difference if you want to badly enough.  Don’t ever think that just one person can do nothing, because each of us is just one person, but when we come together for a common idea, or good, then we become the voice that makes change not only possible, but a fact.

THE CALL TO ARMS

The call has gone out for change purported to be for the good of all. It will take every thinking man and woman using all of their might and intellect to make sure that the human race and all of the animals that we love and hold dear, are not wiped from the face of the earth.  I know how extreme that sounds.  I know just how radical it may seem to you.  Well, if that is what you think then I would like to quote a few, just a very few paragraphs from the web site of the ALF.

But first, lets look at what others are finding out.  They too are aware of just how threatening this movement is.  Just how much it can and will change the world as we know it today, if good people don’t get involved.

Kathleen Marquardt said in 1993;

“Animal rights is against all animal use—even to save lives.  The animal rights agenda seeks to ban all animal ownership no matter how humane. The breadth of this ambition is staggering.

NO HUNTING, RANCHING OR MEDICINE

It means no hunting, or fishing.  No livestock farming or ranching.  No use of animals in science, medicine, or education.  There’d be no vaccine, no insulin, no AIDS or other medical research.  No meat, fish, eggs, or even honey.  No leather shoes, wool sweaters, down jackets or comforters, or even silk.

And this just scratches the surface.  No zoos, aquariums, circuses, rodeos, horse racing, carriage rides, or animal actors in films.  No butter, cheese, yogurt, ice cream.  No meat byproducts in your dog or cat food—not that it makes any difference, because there would be no pets, not even seeing eye dogs.” This is the lead-in to an article written by Kathleen Marquardt as she tried to awaken the American public to the designs of the ALF.

IN A PERFECT WORLD?

It is clear that the ALF and PETA do not want us to understand the scope of their intentions just yet.  They are not quite in place and do not enjoy the power that would be necessary for a movement of that scope.  But don’t fool yourself.  Every day, and every night they are working.  They believe in what they are doing, even if it is demented, deranged and satanic.   They will try to keep you from understanding their plans for this planet, by the use of such phrases as, “In a perfect world,” “of course this might take another 2000 years,” “Only when people refuse to support pet shops, puppy mills, and breeders will this chain of misery be broken.”

Now you might ask, “what is wrong with those statements?  I agree with what is being said?”  Do you?  Have you read them carefully?  We all agree that the puppy mills and pet shops have to go, for the good of millions of dogs and cats each year, but what about breeders?  If all of the puppy mills AND breeders are not allowed to breed dogs and cats, and if you adopt them from a shelter already spayed or neutered, where will future generations of dogs and cats come from?  Do you see just how very carefully PETA and ALF slip that into what we all know to be their own agenda?  Most of us would read right over that sentence, and see nothing wrong with it.  We might even agree with it in theory, without thinking it through first.  Then we would send them our money, or support their efforts in some other benign way.  Of course then they have what they want.  They have our money with which to move forward with their world wide plan.

AT THE TOP

You see, the people that are at the top of these organizations are very well educated scientist and doctors.  They understand just what it will do to the human species of the world, if you take all meat and animal by products away all at once.  It would make the epidemic of the 1917 flue look like child’s play.

These organizations have designed just enough truth in what they are peddling to the public, and in what it takes to invoke your emotions, moving you forward into their web.  Of course it is obscene the way we keep and kill the meat that we raise to eat.  But you see what happens when good men look the other way?  We have known about the horrible treatment in slaughter houses for decades.  We hear that the FDA is inspecting them to make sure that the animals are treated humanly. But for decades we have had reporters telling us that, that just isn’t so.  Do you realize that there are only 64 FDA inspectors to inspect slaughter houses, holding pens, breeding lots, puppy mills and so much more.  Of course the FDA can’t do its job with just 64 inspectors.  So, who suffers?  THE ANIMALS.  Who takes advantage of the situation? The ALF and PETA and others that join their ranks, to tell us that this treatment has to stop.  And that they have the solution to the problem.  Would you like to know what their solution is?

This information is so important to the future of you and your family that I am sure you will want to read what AFL and PETA are really up to when this series continues next month.
