My Interview with Thomas Janak from Wild Time Radio!
Your average vegan teen- Broadcast your self LIVE
I was interviewed by Thomas Janak from Wild Time Radio! He interviewed me all the way from Dublin, Ireland! The interview went smoothly and I am really excited to have it on my blog. I haven't been on in a while because I've been grounded recently. But thank you so much TJ for the CD I love the CD and thank you for signing that also. I love the first and the tenth song on it the best. Unfortunately the video of our interview was cut short because of some technical problems on the broadcast. So again thank you TJ for that interview and a great and easy way for you to see his blog is go to http://www.wildtimevideo.blogspot.com/

Why fishing stinks.
Fishing should be banned and not allowed in any country. These poor fish are taken away from their families or they are just born in concrete homes. Some people say that fish can't be hurt or they don't feel pain. Well, they are wrong, that's why they squirm when they get their head chopped off or they get a hook slicing through their lips. No one wants that to happen to themselves because it would hurt a lot. So please don't support eating fish or any meat at all. Go vegan! To learn more information about fishing click here.
Here is info from PETA about why you shouldn't eat Tuna http://www.fishinghurts.com/f-tuna.asp :
Do you still eat tuna because you think it’s good for you? In fact, the latest scientific research shows that eating tuna is hazardous to your health. Here are the top 10 reasons to let tuna off the hook.
Brain Rot! Tuna fish accumulate toxic mercury in their flesh as a result of industrial pollution, and the side effects of mercury poisoning include finger curling, cognitive impairment, and coordination problems. A California boy, who was the subject of a front-page Wall Street Journal article, went from being a star athlete and honor student to being unable to concentrate or catch a football because he ate canned tuna. Even if he had eaten only half a can of albacore tuna a week, he still would have consumed 60 percent more mercury than is considered “safe” by the U.S. government.
Tremendous Tuna The largest tuna are bluefin tuna, who can reach 15 feet in length and weigh more than 1,500 pounds. Even “small” tuna species, such as yellowfin and albacore, can grow to be 6.5 feet long and weigh hundreds of pounds. Tuna aren’t exactly couch potatoes—they can swim more than 100 miles in a day—with a top speed of 40 miles per hour.
Heart Attack on a Hook Eating fish is not healthy for your heart! Heavy metals are concentrated in tuna because of the contaminated fish they eat. Tuna flesh is loaded with heavy metals that attack the heart muscle, so the toxicity outweighs any possible health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. According to a recent study published in the American Heart Association’s journal, men with the highest levels of mercury increased their risk for heart disease by 60 percent and their risk of dying of a heart attack by 70 percent. Do your heart a favor—put down the fish fork and pick up a safer source of omega-3s, such as walnuts and flaxseeds.
Would You Eat Your Dog? How about a fish who’s as smart as a dog? Dr. Theresa Burt de Perera, an Oxford University scientist, recently published research showing that fish learn faster than dogs. And University of Edinburgh biologist Culum Brown says, “In many areas, such as memory, their cognitive powers match or exceed those of ‘higher’ vertebrates, including non-human primates.”
Sorry, Charlie Unlike a certain cartoon tuna, fish aren’t begging to be caught. Tuna are chased until they move into a tight group, and then a net is lowered around them. They are dragged against rocks and debris, and some fish suffocate from the sheer weight of other fish pressing against them. Large tuna are impaled on longlines—which are miles of barbed hooks that are left in the ocean for days at a time.
Death, Sopranos-Style Think “swimming with the fishes” in reverse. “Hit men” dump smaller tuna onto ice, where they slowly freeze to death or are crushed when thousands of their schoolmates are piled on top of them. Tuna caught on longlines are beaten until they become unconscious before they are thrown into the freezer—and that’s if they haven’t already bled to death while struggling to free themselves!
Factory Fish Bowls Because fishing trawlers are increasingly emptying the seas of more and more of their inhabitants, fish are now being raised on “farms.” Small tuna are captured and dumped into netted pens. They are fattened on pellets of concentrated fish flesh and killed when they get big enough—if they don’t die first from the parasites and diseases that thrive in extremely crowded conditions.
Sickening SashimiStay away from the sushi buffet if you don’t want to spend the next day at the porcelain palace. Seafood is the number one cause of food poisoning in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 75 million cases of foodborne illness every year, including hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths.
Dolphin-Unsafe Tuna Tuna is about as “dolphin-friendly” as a boat propeller. Even if dolphins aren’t “accidentally” trapped in tuna nets, they are still killed intentionally by Japanese tuna anglers because they prey on tuna. Entire pods of whales and dolphins are rounded up and driven into shallow water where all but the youngest (who are captured and sold to aquariums) are slaughtered with knives and machetes.
Tuna-Safe TunaVegetarian tuna, available from http://www.vegieworld.com/cart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=17&cat=Frozen+Products, is a double-take fake tuna that is perfect for sandwiches, casseroles, and “fish” cakes. It is packed with protein and has an uncanny “tuna” flavor and texture, but it’s free of mercury, harmful bacteria, and suffering.
If you’re “fishing” for a heart-smart diet that has been proved to actually reverse heart disease while also reducing the risk of cancer, diabetes, and obesity and that is good for the environment as well as fish-friendly—a vegetarian diet is the perfect catch.

Weak Vegans?
Today a kid at school offered me a huge chocolate chip cookie today and I said "no thank you" and then I told him I was a vegan. And he said "why?" so I told him everything I know and he told me that I would always be weak because all vegans ever eat is lettuce and tofu and that I need to eat meat to bulk up. I said I can gain lots of muscle by eating vegan foods only. So I looked into it and I saw these freaken amazing vegan and vegetarian bodybuilders. They have so much muscle it's just crazy.

10 Reasons Why Circuses Suck!
I hate the way these people use the bull hook as a baseball bat when the elephant gets "out of line". Every animal should be treated with love and compassion, not chained up in a truck all day and then being beaten with a bull hook. Please do not go to any circus that has animal performances. Have compassion, please. To find out more about circus cruelty, click here.

are you brave enough to watch this?
When I watched this I wanted to stop watching almost immediately and I was near tears but I just never had enough energy to even move my arm because I was just so shocked. It was horribly sad, it was the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. I am glad I watched though because now I know the honest truth, I used to think it wasn't that bad. But it's unbelievable.
You need to watch it because it is the truth and no one is going to tell you this other than vegans.
No Painkiller?
I hate it that people who kill animals don't even use painkiller before they cut the animals balls off or rip their teeth out. I hate everyone who likes to take their anger out on these poor sentient beings.
