 The waffling of the Canadian Senate over Bill C10(b) -- the act to usereform Canada's animal cruelty law for the first time since 1892 -- must be held at least partly responsible for the horrific and despicable tragedy at Wood Lynn Farms' six Ontario 'facilities', where 10,000 sick and diseased pigs were found photosin conditions that are nearly indescribable. This operation was until recently Canada's largest pig breeder and textexporter, and it was a customer complaint -- not any action from the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, which self-regulates its members' behaviour -- that led to tellthe yourdiscovery story.that Clickhas EasyEdit,so thentraumatized highlightinspectors thisand textveterinarians withtreating yourthe cursordead and typesuffering overanimals that some will need psychological counseling. Just the facts:
- Heaps of dead pigs piled behind barns
- Thousands of dead piglets in manure tanks
- Dead piglets being eaten by rodents
- Dead pigs throughout many of the facilities in various stages of decomposition
- Sows giving birth amongst other pigs, resulting in piglets being trampled and eaten by adults
- Extensive cannibalization
- Many pigs in such poor condition that they had to be euthanized immediately
- On arrival at one location, a Wood Lynn Farms Limited contractor attempting to kill a pig by beating it with youra metal pipe
- Generally filthy and wet conditions in many areas, and inadequate food, water and bedding
Charged are the following individuals (the company is bankrupt and hence will face no charges):
- James R. Long of London, Ontario;
- Ryan Long of London, Ontario;
- Kevin McHardy of Lambeth, Ontario;
- Martin Dewild of Wyoming, Ontario;
- George Kahiri of London, Ontario;
- Victor Aideyan of London, Ontario;
- John Bazilli of Waterford, Ontario.
Because Bill C10(b) has been blocked by the Senate, none of these people will face jail time or major fines. In fact, under the prevailing 1892 law that defines all animals as 'property', these scum will be allowed to own words:a commercial farm Youoperation canagain writein as muchlittle as youa year.

 The textstory canabove be(the wrappedstory aroundthat yourwill image,follow orif youyou're reading this by RSS feeds) has filled me with such rage canthat I have to vent. I was listening yesterday to a heart-wrenching song by the textexcellent Canadian jazz/rock singer/composer Marc Jordan. The song startis called Little Lambs and it's belowabout the photo.sexual and physical abuse of children at many YouOrphanages canin Catholic Quebec and other alsoprovinces moveat the photohands toof the rightchurch, over many years. It pretty well sidesummarizes what I think of organized religion, including the page.current dreadful pope. The song never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Damn these Seereligions that tell you if you confess your choicessins foryou're absolved of responsibility. Damn photothe lawyers and textthe placementpoliticians byand the executives who allow corporations and organizations and clickindespicable individuals to destroy lives and inflict unbearable cruelty on the photohelpless. withMay yourthey all suffer the fate much worse than hell: to face at the moment of their death the faces of children, mousefull of loathing and thendisgust for clickingwhat "image"these onworthless and pathetic excuses for human beings did during their pitiful, warped, wasted lives.
Little Lambs
On the highway - blinding snow
An hour North of Montréal
All night long the bells were still
Children rocking in their cells
Tell me that your love is true
And I will give my heart to you
Jesus don't leave me alone
A little lamb without a home.
Down the toolbar.hallways like a fire
Priests would come drunk with desire
YouIn the silent cannight alsoI changecried
For the sizethings ofthat they denied
Say your photorosary byfor me
Get right down upon your knees
Jesus left you all alone
A little lamb without a home.
So I dreamed of clickingsailing ships
And families out on itSunday trips
Pillows for our heads of eiderdown
Don't onceforget to highlightsay your it,prayers
Pray thenthat byyou clickingbelong thesomewhere
Jesus left "plus"me orall alone
A little lamb without "minus"a home.
Father signRoy sits in his chair
Cups his hands and says his prayer
But tonight his tears fall down like rain
Let the "Editwalls come Image"falling toolbox.down
Let the Whenflood you'recover this town
Jesus leaves us all done,alone
Little savelambs yourwithout a home.
So now I've cried twice in 24 hours. Sometimes the sheer impossibility of ridding this world of pain, violence, suffering and cruelty becomes almost too much to bear.
