Got a new video camera for Christmas. Here is my fist attempt at a movie. Of course, an animal is involved.

No more bacon, ham, pork chops.............
As an animal lover, I am incensed by any mistreatment of God's creatures. This article was posted by the Humane Society of the United States yesterday and appeared in our local newspaper this morning.
"For approximately one month, an HSUS undercover investigator documented the suffering endured by female breeding pigs held in severely restrictive gestation crates on a factory farm operated by a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods, in Waverly, Virginia. Many of the highly intelligent and inquisitive pigs develop sores and infections from crate-related injuries and from simply lying in the same position without relief. Out of sheer boredom, they engage in repetitive behaviors — such as bar biting and head swaying — sometimes injuring themselves in the process."
My letter to C. Larry Pope, CEO, Smithfield Foods:
Mr Pope;
If our country is to continue to use pigs and other animals as our primary food source, they need to be treated humanely. As the largest supplier of pork in the world, your company should be a shining example of how food animals should be raised, cared for, and slaughtered. Please keep your promise to get pigs out of cruel gestation crates. And please investigate those cruel workers who mistreated your animals, made them suffer, and deal with them accordingly.
Additionally, I will no longer buy or eat any pork products "manufactured" by your company until you can show that improvements have been made in the way the pigs are managed and treated at your facilities.
