Animal Log
A show for animal rights.
A special show.

===Part two===
[How do they make meat?]
[Zvulun Moshashvili]
The genetic engineering they cause hens – In two weeks they become those tanks, like a mature hen, and she's only two weeks old, she's supposed to be a small poult yet. The meat get bigger, but the bones stay thin, and the stress and weight laying on their bones is so big, that every step they take breaks their legs.
[Shai Avivi]
It's not like in the books where you see a hen with her poults in the meadow and then sometime, somehow, without anyone noticing, became this tasty nugget. It's kind of like a concentration camp, where day and night hens are being tortured for their eggs, and later on, for their parts.

[What's the problem with the eggs?]
[Zvulun Moshashvili]
So first of all, they take the male poults, and straight ahead put them in big plastic begs, and leave them to die like that, throw them away. For the females not to hurt each other, they cut the beaks, which is horrible suffer for them.
[Tinkerbell]
There are those big cages which are on top of one another, and in each cage, in the size of less than 50 X 25 cm, there are three hens. A hen is an animal who needs space, she needs her territory, she suffers from heat but doesn't have sweating glands, so what she does in nature is to dig a little un the ground to cool off in a dimple in the ground. Those hen-houses are so crowded, so most of the time there are epidemics and they die a lot of times. What's amazing is that sometimes there are hens who manage to release themselves or something like that, and than the caged hens just look at them walking around free.

[What about the fattening of geese?]
[Zvulun Moshashvili]
They take geese, fatten them, don't even feed them, don't even let them taste what they're fattened with. They take them, and take this large injector, put it straight into their stomach, and their liver is bursting already, they can't move, their raised just so that in the end their liver will be cut out.
[Haim Tzinovich]
There was a movie, "Seven", I remember it… A movie that shocked us all, because there were really terrible things there, they showed hysterics abuses there in some victims of this serial killer, and there was a part when the killer took a fat man and just shove his stomach enormous masses of food. It's the same thing. I mean… He's stomach burst, and there was a terrible footage, but that's actually what happens to the geese. They take them, with a very non sympathetic device, a very non sympathetic action, very penetrating, hurtful, they just jam them. Now, I don't know, think about it when you're full, and suddenly somebody comes and shoves you more food to your mouth. It seems like a nightmare to me. It seems terrible. I'm so happy that the "Fish Snake" band composed the "How much cruelty can you swallow"

[And Veal?]
[Haim Tzinovich]
Try to think what it's like to sit in the same place, without moving, without seeing sunlight, to be separated from your mother, and just stay still.
[Orna Banai]
Me, when I heard what these calfs are going through I became haunted for a long time. It just that, really, only a devilish mind could do such things to such miserable innocent creatures.
[Shai Avivi]
It's not natural, it has nothing to do with nature. The calf's nature to walk, run, jump, be with his brother and mother, there's just nothing nothing related to nature here, that's it. It's taking a calf and making him into a subject, a product.

[Is vegetarianism healthy?]
[Limor Goldshtain]
As a person who doesn't eat meat for many many years now I can say it's an amazing feeling. The voices my body makes without the weight of another living digested within – It's feels amazing. I don't understand how come not everyone's doing it.
[Arye Fain, "Sick energy" band]
For us it wasn't hard at all, in one day we just stopped, and quite contrary, the feeling of health improved unconsciously and it never lacked us.
[Moshe Ivgi]
Overall, it shoes that if you're a vegetarian there's a bigger chance that if you're a vegetarian there's a bigger chance for you to be a healthier person, and that a good nutrition is known to be affecting our state of health, our life expectancy, and our life value. If we are aware and know how to be vegetarians, and can eat right, there is no doubt our lives will be better. It's beyond stop hurting animals, even if we have egoist intentions, it's better for you to be a vegetarian.

[Animal testing]
[Arye Fain, "Sick energy" band]
The subject of animal testing is very frustrating to us, especially with monkeys. It's the most annoying part of animal rights, at least what the public knows. Now we've decided to write a song that will express our state about it.
[A song in English, the clip – in the testing lab]
[Tinkerbell]
A large part of it is politics, of people and large companies that have interests in testing on those animals because they import those animals, and manufacture all the tools for the tests.
[Arye Fain, "Sick energy" band]
We even know about some people who managed to get into those labs and just take some objective documental footage.
[Tinkerbell]
And other than that, I don't think that there's any awareness of what's going through those animals, because if there was… I have a picture stock in my head of two baby monkeys in a cage, they're at the corner of the cage and are holding each other tight to defend each other, and they have such fear in their eyes. I mean, it's like seeing two children that know that their heads are about to be cut open and they know it because they heard the screaming, and they… they don't have nothing to do, they're in a cage or prison and there's no one to rescue them. I connect a lot between kids and animals, because kids too are helpless, in most cases. And the animals are exactly… And it brings the same emotion out of me; it's exactly the same thing. And it's something for me, I don't understand how people can remain impassive to it…
[Moshe Ivgi]
I'm against the testing, no doubt I'm against animal testing, I think it's totally unnecessary. The advantages it apparently has are minor as opposed to the damage we're making, and the pain that we're causing to the animals, I think we don't need that.
[Tinkerbell]
But, really, the torture and what they're doing to them there (the labs) are totally insane. And to think that those who do that are scientists. What scientists?! A person who takes a monkey, without general anesthesia, open their head, searches their brain, while they're alive, and the monkey's pups hear it, in the other side of the lab they hear it all. Put them in the monkey's position. I mean why do they do it to monkeys, because they're like humans, so if they're like humans so all the implications – It's a pain of the nervous system, and psychologically it affects them too.

[What's the connection between a rabbit and a shampoo?]
[Shai Avivi]
Something that shocked me... – I was in the center, TLV center a few months ago, and there was a shop window of a cosmetic shop which displayed a huge poster that praises a carrot tanning oil, and their proof to that that it works, was that they tested it on two groups of female pregnant lab mice, and caused them burns. The group that were used with that oil – The burns on the mice healed much faster. So I said – Damn it, first of all I control myself not to break that window, right? But you want me to buy a tanning oil that its essence is evil? That you experimented it, after five thousand years of cosmetics, that you tested it after so much gathered knowledge on mice that you've burned?! There's something psycho about it.
[Riki Blih]
It's dismissible. I see, people, and find myself in those places as well: The craziness of buying products, beauty products, nurturing products, anti aging products, maintain freshness, it's so dismissible, really. It's dischargeable, and to go and shove it into a bunny's eyes, so that I could have three bottles of tha, and after two years when I'll move I'll throw them away, it's dismissible, really, it's sick. You can't answer it morally. No food chain no nothing. There's no "cosmetic chain", there's no "pretty skin chain", no creature in nature should serve my pimples.
[Moshe Ivgi]
I, for example, for years now use only the "Body Shop" cosmetics, which are clearly against animal testings. They're against using animals, and it's basically the "Body Shop"'s icon. So I use their products for more than fifteen years. Ase an actor, I need to use makeup, take off makeup…
[Riki Blih]
I want to say that there are enough cosmetic products on earth which are great, and do not test on animals, that's after a deep research in this field.
[Haim Tzinovich]
That's it, we usually recommend to buy products that were not tested on animals, there's always a small bunny sign, and you should look for it, and buy those products.
