I have just heard that the American Humane Association has awarded a "Humane award" to a 900-cow factory farm because they slaughter cows with compassion. Despite the fact that each birthed calf is separated from her mother, they rationalize by calling themselves humane. Despite the fact that each and every one of their cows ends up hanging upside down with her throat cut in a slaughterhouse, they now call themselves humane. Some people might argue that there is such a thing as humane slaughter.I disagree completely. read full story / add a comment

international / gender and sexuality / other press Tuesday August 21, 2007 18:25 by Maryam Namazie
This article is taken from the website of the International Humanist and Ethical Union. The article is written by Maryam Namazie, a leading member of the Worker-communist Party of Iran. Recent reports on the Islamic regime of Iran’s crackdown on women who are ‘badly’ veiled (bad-hejab) and their resistance to the regime’s campaign of arrest and harassment has been reported quite extensively in comparison to other similar events over the years. This is partly due to amateur video footage taken via mobile phones by passers-by uploaded on YouTube for the world to see. There are two pieces of footage that everyone should take a look at. One is of an unveiled woman shouting ‘we don’t want the veil; we want freedom’. The other is of a young girl who is being questioned by security agents for being ‘badly veiled’; she pulls off her veil in front of them and is kicked into a waiting car to be driven away. Given that veiling is compulsory in Iran, these acts of defiance are all the more heroic. read full story / add a comment
