I aint playing"

Out now on Itunes. Featuring ICHELMEE "INNA DI PLACE", the 3rd single taken from the highly anticipated CYRUS DA VIRUS album " DA SAGA CONTINUES" is the first of many "Head banging" collaborations to come from the dynamic duo.
Another Anno Domini Pruduction laced with lyrical mayhem, definitely not to be missed.

This is a short version of an article from the AP and was featured on the El Nuevo Día a newspaper of Puerto Rico on February, 3 2008. Also you can read it on http://www.elnuevodia.com/XStatic/endi/template/content.aspx?se=nota&amp;amp;id=356665
It came to my attention because not only it&#8217;s a barbaric act but also because I am a Latina. It hurts deep what&#8217;s happening and how humans handle things to the point that they became monsters. 
In Higüey, Santo Domingo a virus H5N2, the cause of Influenza Virus on animals, was detected on a bird farm on December 2007 and due to the circumstances Ramón Quiñones a spokesperson for the Ministry of Cattle and Animal Health informed on the actions they took to eradicate the virus. 
Quote: &#8220;the birds were beaten-up, put on a plastic bag and then buried on a 8 feet deep grave&#8221;. 
In another statement Quiñones mentions the fact that it is not dangerous to humans and that there&#8217;s no need to alarm. He also explains that the virus is under control and the sacrifices are part of a international protocol to establish quarantine measures. 
I have 2 questions:

Do you need to beat up an animal to eliminate a virus? Why can&#8217;t you put him to sleep and then fallow the rest of the protocol? 
If there&#8217;s no need to alarm and it&#8217;s not dangerous to us, why are you killing those birds and why not make sure it can cause damage in first place? 
I can&#8217;t believe that at this time no one has come up with a better way to deal with this situations. So many smart people and nothing to prove!! Maybe it&#8217;s just the way that nature makes things happen so we learn to appreciate what has been given to us. All this horror and still people find an excuse to eat meat. 
P.S. Feel free to leave a comment of any kind. Also, if anyone knows about this international protocol feel free to post the information. 
Thanks.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;VEGAN FOR LIFE.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.buzznet.com/groups/vmawatchparty/journals/32966751/" ><img src="http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/8/6/3/7/7/1/large-1863771.jpg" border="0" alt="PLEASE DON'T EAT A PIG THIS X-MAS...." title="PLEASE DON'T EAT A PIG THIS X-MAS...." /></a><br />PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME TO READ THIS BLOG. IT WON'T HURT YOU A BIT UNLIKE&amp;nbsp;THOSE FRIENDLY ANIMALS THAT WON'T HAVE THE SAME LUCK. 

Many people who know pigs compare them to dogs because they are friendly, loyal, and intelligent. Pigs are naturally very clean and avoid, if at all possible, soiling their living areas. When given the chance to live away from factory farms, pigs will spend hours playing, lying in the sun, and exploring their surroundings with their powerful sense of smell. Considered smarter than 3-year-old human children, pigs are very clever animals.
Most people rarely have the opportunity to interact with these outgoing, sensitive animals because 97 percent of pigs in United States today are raised on factory farms. These pigs spend their entire lives in cramped, filthy warehouses, under constant stress from the intense confinement and denied everything that is natural to them. 
As piglets, they are taken away from their mothers when they are less than 1 month old; their tails are cut off, some of their teeth are cut off, and the males have their testicles ripped out of their scrotums (castration), all without any pain relief. They spend their entire lives in overcrowded pens on a tiny slab of filthy concrete. 

Breeding sows spend their entire miserable lives in tiny metal crates where they can't even turn around. Shortly after giving birth, they are once again forcibly impregnated. This cycle continues for years until their bodies finally give out and they are sent to be killed. When the time comes for slaughter, these smart and sensitive animals are forced onto transport trucks that travel for many miles through all weather extremes&#8212;many die of heat exhaustion in the summer and arrive frozen to the inside of the truck in the winter. 
According to industry reports, more than 1 million pigs die in transport each year, and an additional 420,000 are crippled by the time they arrive at the slaughterhouse. Many are still fully conscious when they are immersed in scalding water for hair removal.
Many people think of Charlotte&#8217;s Web and Babe when they imagine how pigs are raised for meat. Unfortunately, these Hollywood tales do not depict reality. Almost all of the 100 million pigs killed for food in the United States every year endure horrific conditions in controlled animal feeding operations (CAFOs), the meat industry&#8217;s euphemism for factory farms. Smarter than dogs, these social, sensitive animals spend their lives in overcrowded, filthy warehouses, often seeing direct sunlight for the first time as they are crammed onto a truck bound for the slaughterhouse.

A mother pig, or sow, spends her adult life confined to a tiny metal crate. She will never feel the warmth of a nest or the affectionate nuzzle of her mate&#8212;she will spend her life surrounded by thick, cold metal bars, living on wet, feces-caked concrete floors. When she is old enough to give birth, she will be artificially impregnated and then imprisoned again for the entire length of her pregnancy in a &#8220;gestation crate,&#8221; a cage only 2 feet wide&#8212;too small for her even to turn around or lie down in comfortably.After giving birth, a mother pig is moved to a &#8220;farrowing crate,&#8221; a contraption even worse and smaller than a gestation crate, with only a tiny additional concrete area on which the piglets can nurse. Workers will sometimes tie the mother&#8217;s legs apart so she cannot get a break from the suckling piglets. She may develop open &#8220;bed sores&#8221; on her body from the lack of movement. This practice is so barbaric that gestation crates have been banned in Florida, the U.K., and Sweden and will be banned in the European Union in 2013.
When pregnant sows are ready to give birth, they are moved from a gestation crate to a farrowing crate. One worker describes the process: &#8220;They beat the shit out of them [the mother pigs] to get them inside the crates because they don&#8217;t want to go. This is their only chance to walk around, get a little exercise, and they don&#8217;t want to go [back into a crate].&#8221;

The piglets are taken away from their mother after less than a month&#8212;in nature, they would stay with their mother for several months. She is impregnated again, and the cycle of forced breeding and imprisonment continues. For such an intelligent animal, this intensive confinement causes debilitating stress and boredom. With nothing to do but stare at the bars in front of her, a mother pig may go insane. This is often exhibited by neurotic chewing on the cage bars or obsessive pressing on her water bottle. After three or four years, when her body is exhausted and her mind pushed to or even past the brink of insanity, she is shipped off to slaughter. 
Meanwhile, the sow&#8217;s piglets have their testicles cut out of their scrotums, their tails cut off, many of their teeth clipped in half, and their ears mutilated, all without any pain relief. Terrified and in extreme pain, the piglets are often put alone into tiny metal wire cages (called &#8220;battery cages&#8221; by the farmers). These cages are stacked on top of each other, and urine and excrement constantly fall on the piglets in the lower cages. After the piglets have grown too big for the cages, they are placed into small, cramped pens crowded with many other piglets, where they are kept until they are large enough for slaughter. The animals are given almost no room to move because, as one pork-industry journal put it, &#8220;[O]vercrowding pigs pays.&#8221; Impeccably clean by nature, pigs on factory farms are forced to live in their own feces, vomit, and even amid the corpses of other pigs.
Overcrowding, poor ventilation, and filth cause rampant disease. Respiratory problems are common because of high levels of humidity and toxic gases from the manure pits&#8212;in fact, 70 percent of pigs on factory farms have pneumonia by the time they&#8217;re sent to the slaughterhouse. Many pigs die from infections caused by the noxious fumes and filth of their enclosures. Pigs are fed massive doses of antibiotics to keep them alive in these conditions. Conditions are so filthy that at any given time, more than one-quarter of pigs suffer from mange. 
Because of illness, lack of space to exercise, and genetic manipulation that forces them to grow too big too fast, pigs often develop arthritis and other joint problems. Many pigs on factory farms live on slatted floors above giant manure pits. Smaller pigs often suffer severe leg injuries when their legs get caught between the slats.

Always concerned with their bottom line, some farmers kill sick animals instead of giving them medicine or veterinary care. A PETA investigation found that a manager at an Oklahoma farm was killing pigs by beating them with metal gate rods, and others were left to die without food or water. Unwanted &#8220;runts&#8221; were killed, as they are on most farms, by &#8220;thumping,&#8221; which involves slamming the animals&#8217; heads against the floor. 
I posted a video, but you can find more visuals on You Tube, just in case you might need more insight in what these animals go through.
After enduring months in these hellish conditions, pigs are forced onto trucks, bound for a horrific and agonizing death at the slaughterhouse.

    <media:title><![CDATA[PLEASE DON'T EAT A PIG THIS X-MAS....]]></media:title>
    <media:description type="html"><![CDATA[&lt;P align=left&gt;PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME TO READ THIS BLOG. IT WON'T HURT YOU A BIT UNLIKE&amp;nbsp;THOSE FRIENDLY ANIMALS THAT WON'T HAVE THE SAME LUCK. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;IMG height=210 alt=&quot;Pigs in the grass&quot; src=&quot;http://www.goveg.com/images/432-Toptenpigs.jpg&quot; width=412 border=0&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Many people who know pigs compare them to dogs because they are friendly, loyal, and intelligent. Pigs are naturally very clean and avoid, if at all possible, soiling their living areas. When given the chance to live away from factory farms, pigs will spend hours playing, lying in the sun, and exploring their surroundings with their powerful sense of smell. Considered smarter than 3-year-old human children, pigs are very clever animals.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Most people rarely have the opportunity to interact with these outgoing, sensitive animals because 97 percent of pigs in United States today are raised on factory farms. These pigs spend their entire lives in cramped, filthy warehouses, under constant stress from the intense confinement and denied everything that is natural to them. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As piglets, they are taken away from their mothers when they are less than 1 month old; their tails are cut off, some of their teeth are cut off, and the males have their testicles ripped out of their scrotums (castration), all without any pain relief. They spend their entire lives in overcrowded pens on a tiny slab of filthy concrete. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;IMG src=&quot;http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/8/6/3/8/0/1/orig-1863801.jpg&quot; border=0&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Breeding sows spend their entire miserable lives in tiny metal crates where they can't even turn around. Shortly after giving birth, they are once again forcibly impregnated. This cycle continues for years until their bodies finally give out and they are sent to be killed. When the time comes for slaughter, these smart and sensitive animals are forced onto transport trucks that travel for many miles through all weather extremes&mdash;many die of heat exhaustion in the summer and arrive frozen to the inside of the truck in the winter. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;According to industry reports, more than 1 million pigs die in transport each year, and an additional 420,000 are crippled by the time they arrive at the slaughterhouse. Many are still fully conscious when they are immersed in scalding water for hair removal.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Many people think of &lt;EM&gt;Charlotte&rsquo;s Web&lt;/EM&gt; and &lt;EM&gt;Babe&lt;/EM&gt; when they imagine how pigs are raised for meat. Unfortunately, these Hollywood tales do not depict reality. Almost all of the 100 million pigs killed for food in the United States every year endure horrific conditions in controlled animal feeding operations (CAFOs), the meat industry&rsquo;s euphemism for factory farms.&lt;SUP&gt; &lt;/SUP&gt;Smarter than dogs, these social, sensitive animals spend their lives in overcrowded, filthy warehouses, often seeing direct sunlight for the first time as they are crammed onto a truck bound for the slaughterhouse.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;IMG src=&quot;http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/8/6/3/8/1/1/orig-1863811.jpg&quot; border=0&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A mother pig, or sow, spends her adult life confined to a tiny metal crate. She will never feel the warmth of a nest or the affectionate nuzzle of her mate&mdash;she will spend her life surrounded by thick, cold metal bars, living on wet, feces-caked concrete floors. When she is old enough to give birth, she will be artificially impregnated and then imprisoned again for the entire length of her pregnancy in a &ldquo;gestation crate,&rdquo; a cage only 2 feet wide&mdash;too small for her even to turn around or lie down in comfortably.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;After giving birth, a mother pig is moved to a &ldquo;farrowing crate,&rdquo; a contraption even worse and smaller than a gestation crate, with only a tiny additional concrete area on which the piglets can nurse.&lt;SUP&gt; &lt;/SUP&gt;Workers will sometimes tie the mother&rsquo;s legs apart so she cannot get a break from the suckling piglets. She may develop open &ldquo;bed sores&rdquo; on her body from the lack of movement. This practice is so barbaric that gestation crates have been banned in Florida, the U.K., and Sweden and will be banned in the European Union in 2013.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When pregnant sows are ready to give birth, they are moved from a gestation crate to a farrowing crate. One worker describes the process: &ldquo;They beat the shit out of them [the mother pigs] to get them inside the crates because they don&rsquo;t want to go. This is their only chance to walk around, get a little exercise, and they don&rsquo;t want to go [back into a crate].&rdquo;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;IMG src=&quot;http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/8/6/3/8/3/1/orig-1863831.jpg&quot; border=0&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot; align=left&gt;The piglets are taken away from their mother after less than a month&mdash;in nature, they would stay with their mother for several months.&lt;SUP&gt; &lt;/SUP&gt;She is impregnated again, and the cycle of forced breeding and imprisonment continues. For such an &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.goveg.com/f-hiddenlivespigs.asp&quot;&gt;intelligent animal&lt;/A&gt;, this intensive confinement causes debilitating stress and boredom. With nothing to do but stare at the bars in front of her, a mother pig may go insane. This is often exhibited by neurotic chewing on the cage bars or obsessive pressing on her water bottle.&lt;SUP&gt; &lt;/SUP&gt;After three or four years, when her body is exhausted and her mind pushed to or even past the brink of insanity, she is shipped off to slaughter. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot; align=left&gt;Meanwhile, the sow&rsquo;s piglets have their testicles cut out of their scrotums, &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_pigs_mutilation.asp&quot;&gt;their tails cut off, many of their teeth clipped in half, and their ears mutilated, all without any pain relief&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;SUP&gt; &lt;/SUP&gt;Terrified and in extreme pain, the piglets are often put alone into tiny metal wire cages (called &ldquo;battery cages&rdquo; by the farmers). These cages are stacked on top of each other, and urine and excrement constantly fall on the piglets in the lower cages. After the piglets have grown too big for the cages, they are placed into small, cramped pens crowded with many other piglets, where they are kept until they are large enough for slaughter. The animals are given almost no room to move because, as one pork-industry journal put it, &ldquo;[O]vercrowding pigs pays.&rdquo;&lt;SUP&gt; &lt;/SUP&gt;Impeccably clean by nature, pigs on factory farms are forced to live in their own feces, vomit, and even amid the corpses of other pigs.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Overcrowding, poor ventilation, and filth cause rampant disease. Respiratory problems are common because of high levels of humidity and toxic gases from the manure pits&mdash;in fact, 70 percent of pigs on factory farms have pneumonia by the time they&rsquo;re sent to the slaughterhouse. Many pigs die from infections caused by the noxious fumes and filth of their enclosures. Pigs are fed massive doses of antibiotics to keep them alive in these conditions. Conditions are so filthy that at any given time, more than one-quarter of pigs suffer from mange. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Because of illness, lack of space to exercise, and genetic manipulation that forces them to grow too big too fast, pigs often develop arthritis and other joint problems. Many pigs on factory farms live on slatted floors above giant manure pits. Smaller pigs often suffer severe leg injuries when their legs get caught between the slats.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;IMG src=&quot;http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/8/6/3/8/4/1/orig-1863841.jpg&quot; border=0&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;Always concerned with their bottom line, some farmers kill sick animals instead of giving them medicine or veterinary care. A PETA investigation found that a manager at an Oklahoma farm was killing pigs by beating them with metal gate rods, and others were left to die without food or water. Unwanted &ldquo;runts&rdquo; were killed, as they are on most farms, by &ldquo;thumping,&rdquo; which involves slamming the animals&rsquo; heads against the floor. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #cc0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I posted a video, but you can find more visuals on&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt; &lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;STRIKE&gt;You Tube&lt;/STRIKE&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;, just in case you might need more insight in what these animals go through.&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = &quot;urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office&quot; /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;SUP&gt;&lt;/SUP&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;After enduring months in these hellish conditions, pigs are forced onto trucks, bound for a horrific and agonizing death at the slaughterhouse. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
