Reality Is Realistic: Animal Torture Is A Secret, Multibillion-Dollar Business
Finding the right picture for this column was a painful experience because pictures of animal suffering and human cruelty abound as shown on google images. This difficult choice came along with the realization that sobriety would do this blog justice much better. Earth Custodians isn’t an activist platform but advocates for the remodeling of the Self, it is a ‘mindset movement’ above all.
While following the money on an individual scale may seem acceptable it is often, if not always, lethal on a grand scale. It is just like the tip of the iceberg versus its invisible part which is always a lot bigger. The unseen holds the tip straight up, making it visible. But as the unseen part melts away and the tip can only follow the mechanisms of Nature. What is meant here is that the unseen dictates the surface what to do in the end.
Many animal activists feel right about their stance but they should begin to question the latter. While it is beyond question that there is a staggering animal suffering going on, it isn’t very realistic to push any vegan and vegetarian diets into people’s throats. Decades of radical activism has postponed balanced solutions. As usual, the truth lies in the middle and only addressing the social consumerist addiction will offer a serious long-time relief as the latter is at the very core of the problem. Our addictions are not only another issue crushing us to no end but also increasing animal abuse exponentially.
Activism cannot do a thing if not questioning our habits in the first place. We cannot fix animal suffering nor end factory farms, if we keep dismissing that the absolute bottom line is self-imposed moderation: eating less meat (the human body only needs 1-2 lbs week) and buying cosmetics not experienced on animals. All actions derive from the metaphilosophy of the self. Every time we neglect to comprehend our own motives and purposes in life it does affect society in a big way. http://www.earthcustodians.net/blog/2017/01/18/responsibility-enhances-animal-rights/
Your Taxes Are Funding a Secret, Multibillion-Dollar Government Enterprise That Tortures and Kills Tens of Millions of Animals Every Year
Last week—following criticism from bipartisan Congress members, citizens, press, and advocacy groups like the White Coat Waste Project, a nonprofit that seeks to eliminate cruel, wasteful and unnecessary taxpayer-funded animal testing—the U.S. Department of Agriculture began to reverse course on its unjustifiable animal welfare database blackout. It started by restoring documents about government and other animal laboratories. This is a crucial resource, but we’re still fighting systemic government transparency failures about $15 billion in wasteful taxpayer-funded experimentation on dogs and other animals. A beagle confined in standard caging in a U.S. laboratory awaits his eventual torture and death. Federal agencies subjected more than 1,100 dogs to experiments in 2015 alone. An estimated 100 million animals are tortured and killed by agencies across the nation each year. ..... The NIH laments that 90 percent of drugs that work in animal tests fail in humans because they are dangerous or ineffective. In the agency’s current Strategic Plan, it writes, "animal models often fail to provide good ways to mimic disease or predict how drugs will work in humans, resulting in much wasted time and money while patients wait for therapies." Still, 47 percent of the agency’s $32 billion budget is spent on animal experiments.

Factory animal farms produce meat through routine torture and environmental destruction
Public and environmental health is being severely threatened through the institution of animal factory farming, which pollutes our water, air, soil and even our bodies with harmful chemicals and pollutants. Corporations now have taken over the practice of family farming and have developed cost-saving mass-production strategies that are not only dangerous to public health, but are also cruel to the animals being processed.... Animal factories, also known as large confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), go against traditional farming practices by treating the animal simply as a machine or production unit. These farms are more like an assembly line system of animal harvesting than anything resembling a genuine farm or ranch. "Factory farming has taken the joy out of the lives of millions of calves and pigs, and billions of hens; it has driven countless family farmers off the land; it has polluted streams and rivers; it has injected massive amounts of antibiotics and other drugs into the public food supply resulting in serious health risks. It has lowered food quality," says Christine Stevens, author of the book Factory Farming, The Experiment That Failed. ... In fact, an estimated 13.5 million pounds of antibiotics are used on factory farm animals every year in the U.S. These antibiotics are grossly overused and are especially dangerous because they aid in the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria -- an urgent health problem that costs the American taxpayers billions of dollars every year.

We cannot resolve the problem with the same mindset that created it.
Human emotions being ruled by physics, Earth Custodians call for the adoption of a different way of thinking to promote conflict resolutions. Different but not new, because such concepts were already debated two thousands years ago: they are keys to grasp the unhealthy mechanics driving people's need for power structures, and as how to overcome them as well. Mainstream Psychology is on its death bed. Yes, it is possible to see way ahead of the curve, and if it takes one generation for a money-free society to take shape, that shouldn't prevent anyone from taking action, and using money to spread the word until a critical mass (20% of population) is reached.
