“We are shocked
and angry. The BEST thing you can do to raise global attention is to put up a
web site in English and we will post a link on HinduUnity.org
Our organization is against cow slaughter. ALL COW SLAUGHTER.
So we must do what we
can to change this God forsaken world.
Cows represent a symbol of motherhood to the Hindu people.
It is where milk comes from and we all grew up on her (cows) milk.” (Rohit Vyasmaan, Chairman)
We did so. Thank you, Hindu

Vienna/New
Delhi (etika.com) – Cruel scenes in European slaughterhouses have caused a
worldwide campaign of friends of animals. Many cows are insufficiently anesthetized
(stunned). Being slaughtered they awake and bellow awfully in their death-agony
when being cut up and dismembered. Full of anguish they wriggle for minutes
until the end of their severed existence.
An organization
for the protection of animals in Upper Austria has proved these scenes by
documentary evidence:
A journalist and the president Dr. Friedrich Landa
produced a video with the brutal scenes in a slaughterhouse of Upper Austria. Everybody
can see it in Internet.

Dr. Friedrich Landa, president of the societies for the protection in
Upper Austria, Linz, announced
a charge against all Austrian slaughterhouses because of cruelty to
animals. He supposes that animals get insufficient anaesthetization in the
slaughterhouses of the whole European Union.
On the grounds that there is
a danger of spreading BSE, the Commission of the European Union in Brussels has
forbidden the cut through the spinal cord of the cows and other animals
(directive number 2000/418/EG). The consequences: Many animals are
anaesthetized only with a shot machine for bolts, they awake when being
slaughtered, cry and wriggle in terrible pain for some minutes.
The directive of the European Union contradicts the
national or regional laws; in
these usually exists a passage, basing on a long tradition in civilized
countries, like this:
"Who slaughters an animal, must anesthetize (stun, benumb?) it completely bevor the withdrawal of blood.”
In a Press Conference in Vienna, the capital auf
Austria, the deputy of the green party Madeleine Petrovic attacked the European Union because “the new
directive of the EU” has not the right to change the Austrian civil and criminal
law (may 8). The Austrian Presse Agency (APA) and the newspaper in German
language "Dolomiten“, Bozen
(South Tyrol/Italy) gave a report on the press conference (may 9).
The internet service etika.com comments:
Mr. Bureaucratius Merciless lets torture our dear
brothers and sisters, the animals, in indescribable pain in the slaughterhouses
of the European Union. Hindus and Jains and Christians and friends of the
animals in the whole world are struck with terror. etika.com warns of the wrath
of the Lord.
“For judgement is
without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy.” (Bible, James 2,13)
“GOD will reward
each according to his works.” (Romans 2,6)
“Everybody
suffers adequate to the kind of his crime, which reveals in a unique manner the
divine wisdom and justice. The punishment for the offences will be measured out
as with a balance.” (Luis of Granada: Book for prayer and meditation, Friday
night)
Who acts
cruelly, has nothing else to await in the other world as severe chastisement in
eternity, if he does not repent and rights the wrongs.
Who wins the battle? Mammon
or ethics?
A little it also depends
from you. We call a
Boycott!
Don´t eat meat, at least five days in the week!

Help if you can. The animals, our poor brothers and
sisters (St. Francis of Assisi), wait.
Remember that all creatures are work of the Creator and you are one of
them.
Recuerda que todas las
criaturas son obra del Creador y tú eres una de ellas. (Pedro Varela)
Denke daran, daß alle Kreaturen Werk des Schöpfers sind und du eine von ihnen
bist.
„Man, why do you beat the animal!
Woe to you who don´t hear how it screams with pain and begs the Creator in
Heaven for pity.
But three times woe to that one about whom it screams and wails in its pain!
Don´t beat it never again, so that also
you find pity!“
(Apocryphe word of Jesus from the Coptic
Bible)
We pray for all tortured animals, also for
those who are cruelly slaughtered according to outdated religious rites by
Muslims and Jews without being anaesthetized (stunned). (Prayers in German, Catalan, Spanish, Croatian, Italian,
French; there is someone who corrects this bad text and/or translates the
prayer – which is for all religions - in English?):
Senyor,
tingue pietat dels animals
Señor, apiádate de los animales
Jednostavna
Molitva za zivotinje
Signore,
abbi pietà per gli animali
Seigneur,
aie pitié des animaux

Meditation
A text from our catalan friend Jordi Mota to meditate on: German , Croatian , Spanish:
-
No son malos, Muk. No piensan
en el daño que nos hacen. Han sido educados así y actuan de esta manera por
costumbre. Las personas más buenas del mundo no por ello dejan de matarnos para
celebrar sus fiestas. Pero si Dios Nuestro Señor lo ha dispuesto así, es que es
su deseo y debemos aceptarlo.
