Animal welfarest promotes raising animals for food.

The Alliance for Animal Rights is horrified to hear that a well known RTE presenter Ella Mc Sweeney has had two ‘pet’ pigs she raised in her garden butchered for food. This person apparently an animal ‘welfarest ‘’ has been known for her stance against animal cruelty in the meat trade.
The pigs were kept by her at her Blackrock home for several months before they were butchered.She is pictured in a newspaper with her arms around the two innocent and gentle animals.
Yet again we stress the difference in using animals for to feed our taste buds as welfarests do, as opposed to respecting the rights of other non human sentient beings to share our planet.

We have urged our supporters to stress their disappointment at her actions.

why choose suffering?

why choose suffering?

Yet again we stress the difference in using animals for to feed our taste buds as welfarests do, as opposed to respecting the rights of other non human sentient beings to share our planet. They feel pain as we do and thats what we need to realise. They are not inanimate objects devoid of feelings.
Humans do not need to feast on rotting flesh. When someone is dead they start to rot immediately.Veganism is best for our health, the planet and our well-being.why chose cruelty with so many options available.

We have urged our supporters to stress their disappointment at her actions-already many have .

EMAILS PLEASE to RTE’s ELLA MC SWEENEY’

she confesses the 'process was gorier than anticipated’"and ‘I'm under no illusions but this is an amazing experience. And the fact that they're so tasty is another bonus."

A site advertising her classes in animal husbandry are on the internet and the Evening herald on 17/8/10 has an article entitled ‘RTE host Ella brings home the bacon by slaughtering pets’.

Email ELLA MC SWEENEY at glaslower@gmail.com also RTE who plan to air the slaughter on EAR TO THE GROUND IN OCTOBER.complaints@rte.ie,
