Whoever saves a life...

I thought I would share this from the trip I took to Hungary:

These are words from the Talmud, which are on a plaque by that statue of Carl Lutz.  Carl Lutz did numerous things to try to save Jews.  In the early 1940s before Hungarian Jews were being deported Carl Lutz issued documents allowing 10,000 Jewish children to emigrate.  Carl Lutz also fought, unfortunately unsuccessfully to stop the Jews from being sent to death camps.  In 1944, during the time when Jews were being sent to the death camps, Lutz worked out a deal where 8,000 Jews could emigrate to what is now Israel.  However, he applied this 8,000 number to families instead of individuals which allowed him to issue extra protective documents. Additionally, he established seventy six safe houses in Budapest for Jews to live in.  These houses were off limits to the Hungarian forces who were murdering Jews.  It is also said that when the Arrow Cross Party, a group very similar to the Nazis, were murdering Jews by shooting Jews into the Danube, Carl Lutz at least attempted to save one woman who had been shot.   It is said he jumped into the water in his suit and took her back to his car in defiance of the Arrow Cross Party. 

Now you might think the Swiss government at the time would consider him a hero.  No, they didn't in fact they criticized him.  Now this is no different from the way so called "free" government treat today's animal rights activists.  

When are we going to wake-up and realize that there is a Holocaust still going on for the enormous numbers of farm animals who are murdered every day. For all the farm animals who have their babies stolen. For all the farm animals who are used for profit by the greedy and then when they are no longer useful sent to their deaths.  In the time it took to read that last sentence hundreds of animals have likely been killed.  

So who is going to save a life?  Or hundreds of lives?  Or thousands of lives?

And who is going to be a hypocrite and claim to be religious while funding the murders of animals?

Dear Bed Bath and Beyond,

It has come to my attention that you have a relationship with Hotels.com.  Hotels.com is using their Captain Obvious page to bash vegans and encourage others to do the same.  As such, until Hotels.com issues and sincere and acceptable apology and engages in enough support of animal rights on a level acceptable to the large and growing animal rights community, we ask you to discontinue your relationship with hotels.com.  If you don't, I regret that I won't be a customer of yours anymore either (and I do like your stores!).
