One of the most humane ways to kill a chicken (according to those killing) janel sterbentz 2012-01-11 | I filmed this to show what some farmers are doing to their chickens. I am vegan and I find this very disturbing. They told me they do it this way because white meat sells better than dark. That they need to slit the throat and keep them alive so all their blood pumps out of the body.They sell their meat a the local farmers market and call it free range, organic, locally sourced. Sounds good on paper except you never know how the animals are really treated!According to PETA, 75% of large scale industrial slaughter operations first electrocute the chickens before their throats are slit, but often the electrocution levels are too low and the birds are still conscious when they are killed. The purpose of electrical stunning of the birds is not to reduce or eliminate pain or to induce unconsciousness, but to immobilize the conscious birds, who would otherwise thrash around. It also facilitates the removal of their feathers by paralyzing the muscles in which their feather follicles are embedded. The other 25% of industrial farms use controlled-atmosphere killing (CAK) where oxygen from the chickens' environment is removed and slowly replaced with a nonpoisonous gas that puts the birds to sleep while they are still in their transport crates. Exposure to the gas stimulates breathing frequency and may lead to respiratory distress.http://www.peta.org/features/the-case-for-controlled-atmosphere-killing.aspxSmall scale slaughtering normally entails either chopping the head off, breaking the neck, or using cones and slitting their throats as shown in this video. Slitting the throat is preferred by farmers because the heart still beats and pumps blood out of the meat, resulting in the preferred white meat.The farmer in this video claims the chickens don't feel pain after their throats are slit but really there is no way to know, and it appears they are in pain to me.http://vivaactivists.org.uk/campaigns/goingveggie/ch07.phphttp://www.viva.org.uk/campaigns/ritual_slaughter/goingforthekill01.htm#3http://www.grandin.com/references/humane.slaughter.html

Memorial for Tito : Cyclist Killed by Drunk Driver janel sterbentz 2019-04-11 | Sign the petition to install The Tito Bradshaw Memorial Bikeway on E Houstonbikesanantonio.org/install-bike-lanes-on-e-houstonLocal entrepreneur Tito Bradshaw was hit and killed on E Houston St at N Palmetto while riding his bicycle early Monday morning. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition with a serious head injury, and pronounced brain dead Monday afternoon. Tito was a pillar in the San Antonio cycling community, a bike shop owner, a community activist, a loving father and a faithful friend.This tragedy could have easily been prevented if the city installed bike lanes on E Houston instead of an unnecessary center turn lane. The official bike route is on Paso Hondo, but cyclists prefer not to take neighborhood streets because it’s a pain to have to stop at every intersection, the street quality is usually worse, there is more chance of being chased and bit by dogs, and the lighting is usually worse.We need to build a complete, efficient, convenient, interconnected and safe bike network in San Antonio! People who chose transportation that reduces pollution, traffic, crashes and increases well being should be accommodated and rewarded, not risk injury and their lives just to get around.
Poem for the Farm Worker janel sterbentz 2019-01-11 | So, you think the time of harvesting by hand is over?It may be that you think when you buy your fruits and vegetablesat the supermarketthat they got there by some machinelike a train, a truck, or an airplane.Well that’s how it is.But first those fruits and vegetables passed through the hands of Godand then through the hands of a farm workerwhom you still encounter working hard under the cosmic elementsthat are the same elements that give us laughter,the sentiment that makes us want to cry,the rain storms, the heatwaves, love and disgrace.But one feels proud because another day of work is overand with that we can go to the store and buysome of the same products that we harvested today.Show a little respect then before you swallow.Think about me.Think about yourself.And think about those working in the fields.Long live the farm worker!

Keep the Bike Lanes Clear - Bike San Antonio janel sterbentz 2018-01-17 | bikesanantonio.org/cleanlanesWe are requesting more enforcement of cars parked illegally in bike lanes, as well as ‘no parking signs’ along all bike lanes. The bike lanes need to be swept more regularly. Bike lanes and shoulders with debris/parked cars are dangerous and costly to cyclists. They increase the chances of falling, or getting a flat/blow-out. Sign the petition above.
