A HUGE HUGE THANK
YOU to everyone that has signed into the Veggie Roxs forum. I very much appreciate
your support to the Milton Keynes activist group for animal rights and we
respect you all very much (okay so I don't know what to say lol) I am updating
the site as much as I can at the moment, but due to unnecessary exams and MOK
GCSE exam papers (Sorry to you that are American and have probably not heard
of a GCSE, trust me it's complicating lol) I have had to postpone the updates
to this site in till around the 27th or maybe earlier, it will not be within
the next two days I can tell you that! lol, more exams... WHAT JOY!!!

Well, sadly there has been another
death in the captive industry! Hudson a six-year-old Orca, was found dead in
Friendship Cove on Oct. 20 2004. This is the second death in this park in two
months after another death of a whale named Neocia who was twelve years old
when she died. Clearly
there is something wrong, all captive industries should not exist because it
is things like this that outrage us and can upset the public. For those of you
that do not know about a whale named Shamu in the Sea
World, Shamu died in 1980 and since then over 90 whales have been called Shamu
because it 'attracts the public' well, have they thought about how it affects
the public? I don't think so!
You can help save the whales by emailing Sea World
and telling them about how outraged you are about the effects of captivity.
You can find about this here at www.orcanetwork.com
and here www.miamiseaprison.com you can email Sea World at AskShamu@Seaworld.com
GET TYPING!!!

Due
to recent threats and consistent copying from Trainers at Marine Parks (I
shall not name those who) I have decided to close down the Profiles page
because of safety precautions. I shall not be opening them again in till I
believe these people have left me and our beliefs alone. With their mean
remarks I believe they should stay out and away from mine and my friends
beliefs.

Today is a very special
birthday, no it's not an animals birthday, it's Stephanie's birthday and she
is the big 16 years of age today.
Stephanie was the one who originally started up Veggie Roxs and started
becoming a vegetarian nearly one year ago. I think I wont be alone when I wish
Stephanie a very happy birthday and I hope she has a great day. Stephanie has
this to say about turning 16.
'Well, even
though I have wonderful double math's (math), double PE (Physical Education)
and double Support Studies and don't forget the lovely Spanish lesson I
couldn't have wanted to spend my birthday in a better place! I'm spending it
with the people I have most respect for, my friends and my family. Okay so I'm
in school, but at least I get lots of attention! He he!
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY Stephanie

Today is the day
after the load bangs and crashes from the fireworks, but as well as that it is
a Saturday and more people will be bringing out more fireworks, word of
warning, bring your pets in today. I know last night my rabbit had a hard time
with all the fireworks, so in the end he slept in my room for the night. He
was beginning to get very nervous and started to hit into the side of the
hutch. So if you have pets, bring them in. It's better than to risk it. Please
have a heart for the animals tonight. With other news I had an idea for Veggie
Roxs, it's time to bring in a forum! Visit our new Forum here and lets see
what people have to say about the cruelty and abuse that happens in the world.

Wow! It's
Nearly my big sixteenth birthday. It seems so weird that I am turning sixteen
and that this is my sixtieth year of living. I realize now that I wasn't what
I should have been when I was younger, I chomped on beef burgers everyday, stuffed
myself with fatty bacon buttes and I would continue to eat meat in till I
finally understood the truth. Sadly for me this meat eating has taken effect
on me, I only gave up meat a year ago and I so badly wish I could go back and
change it all. I'm larger than I a normal
16 year old should be and I feel bad that I ate so many poor defenseless
animals. I wish I could go back, I really do! But the future is shinning ahead
and I am determined to help the animals that are still suffering. Just because
I'm going to be an adult doesn't mean I'm going to give up, no no no not me I
can promise you that my friends! Giving up meat at first was a challenge to
me, but after a few weeks I began to get used to it, today, giving up meat has
never been so easy, there are so many products like Quorn (if you are American
than you will not know what Quorn is, Quorn is a substitutes to meat we have
here in England, to find out more go to www.quorn.com)
and giving up milk and eggs, even easier, if you have ever tried chocolate flavor
Soya milk than you will know what I mean, the stuff is paradise and I mean it!
Sadly, I am unable to go vegan, but when I leave home and start a new life
that will be the first thing on my agenda along with helping PETA! He he...

Today is Halloween,
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, but watch out for the sweets you get. You may get sweets with
gelatin within, please refuse any animal products, every little contribution
helps and have a safe and happy Halloween. No tricking now, it's not very
nice!

Doesn't time fly?
It seems like Christmas is only around the corner doesn't it, Argos are
now doing all heir Christmas adverts and the sickening displays of all those
poor turkeys roasted on plates, but honestly do you care about these turkey's?
Christmas is the best time of year to go vegetarian because this is the time
of year that mass amounts of animals are slaughtered to be placed on our
plates and eaten on Christmas day and new years day. Have you ever thought
bout how much meat actually goes to waste on Christmas day? THOUSANDS! There
is enough waste meat left over from Christmas dinner to fill the Atlantic
ocean twice. Where does it all go? I have no idea, but I found out these
facts! So please please please, think more about what you buy nearer Christmas
day, try and get your parents to buy food that doesn't contain gelatine or any
other animal products. For Christmas lunch try to get your parents to buy a healthier
option of a quorn roast or nut loaf. Please think about the pain and suffering
of animals this Christmas and go vegetarian, for yourself, for the animals and
for the environment.

Hello again! Today
has been a very hectic day! Why? Because it has been both my mothers
boyfriend, Graham's, birthday and my baby cousin Carys's birthday. Okay so
they have one heck of an age difference, but you know *shrugs* it's quite
cute! Graham turned 55 years today, he is enjoying ever hour of it and it was
my baby cousin's 1st birthday... WOW has a year gone already? I will tell you
what is wired about this. Last year when it was Graham's 54th birthday we were
tucking into a curry at the local curry shop when my auntie was having the
time of her life giving birth to her second child! lol, how weird is that?

I apologize for my absence,
if I must be completely honest than I have to sat that I have been ill. For
some reason I had a nasty infection and wasn't able to get out of bed for a
while, although I still went to
school. I haven't been able to do much to the site although I have updated the
'Experiments' page with some interesting opinions on animal testing from some
science teachers themselves! Way-Hay! I'm still on the iffy side, but i will
be back up again and will try to update more and more often! I'm trying to get
some music on all the sites, how is that for getting technical lol! We have
also got a new logo which can be used to link back to us. It was created by
Giuseppe. THANKS!!

We have a new link to
our site. A boy named Giuseppe D'Amone has built a very interesting webpage
with lots of facts and figures on the world of animal abuse and problems that
go on. This is a very touching site. Thanks for adding me. This site is now available
to visit on the Links Page.

It's
a happy birthday today to Stephanie's goldfish Sanea today. He celebrates his
fifth birthday today, quite an old age for a fish, but he shares his birthday
with his best friend Salina who swims in the tank with him and keeps both
Sanea and Stephanie very much company. Hopefully another five years will shot
by and we will soon be posting Sanea's tenth birthday here on Veggie Roxs.
Sanea was given his
name after he began to swim around his tank very rapidly and bubble a lot when
the song by Peter Andre 'Insanea' was played on Stephanie's CD player. Ever
since than he had been nicknamed Insanea, but for short Stephanie calls him
Sanea, because really he is sane and not insane. Stephanie says that Sanea is
a very faithful animal and talks to her a lot of the time (Stephanie has memorized
the signs and signals that both the fish try to communicate through)
and she also says that although Sanea has a habit of jumping out of the tank
he is a very timid animal and loves his food!
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY SANEA!

For our Veggie Roxs
member Amy it has not been a very good day. Whilst on her way home from school
on the 22nd of September she encountered a stray cat that was fending for his
own life in the bushes. Sadly the cat was old and very thin, but as she took
him to the vet, the vet explained that the animal had a kidney disorder and
they would do all they could to help the poor animal. Sadly this morning news
was not all great! The cat was sadly put to sleep today, finally placed out of
his misery. I pray that this cat will be kept safe by God.
God Bless...

Yet again, for
another day in a row all that was on the menu for vegetarians was baked potato
and tuna, well obviously eating fish doesn't make you a full vegetarian, so
when they asked if I ate fish, the reply was NO! Salad and greens are good for
you, but sometimes having the continuous baked potato can make any vegetarian
be temped for something different. Today for the meat-eaters it was Turkey Pie
and Spanish Pasta, although I wasn't sure whether the pasta was suitable for vegetarians
I didn't ask, but I was assured that it was, still no big chance to the vegetarian
menu. If I had to count the vegetarians in my school, it would have to be an
estimated guess of around 20 people to over 200 people. That is how out-cast
we are. Although we do not protest as much as we should in school, we don't
like to feel out-cast and we keep silent, trying to peaceful, like many
activist are. Well, some are nutters! In a good way, but at least this way we
can not feel bad about ending up in detention about something!

Hunting people who voted against the ban to hunting in London crowded outside
the parliament houses
today in order to fight for what they called 'freedom'. Although there we less
people who were voting against hunting there the people who cried for the act
of hunting to be forgotten stormed into the highly guarded building, shocking
and scaring the people who were passing the vote. The police were brought into
the fight on horseback and were seen hitting and fighting against the angry
citizen who continued to fight for their right. One woman protested against
her face being scarred by being knocked over by a policeman, but if you could
have had a heart to feel deep enough than she may have realized that this is
how the many animals feel when they are knocked over and slaughtered in this
barbaric hunts. Although at around 6pm that afternoon things were still tense
in London things had begun to calm down. This just shows that those who appose
the idea of hunting are a lot more calmer than those who want hunting to
continue. We stayed back and aloud the men to continue with their childish behavior. Many held signs that said '59% Vote For Hunting' This is crap! It's
not true because killing an innocent animal is wrong, cruel and down right
stupid!
