POPSNAFTA's Impact on Mexico If the current trend continues with the FTAA, at BEST, over a five year time period, 350,000 more jobs will be lost in Mexico's agricultural sector and that number could go up to 750,000. The Institute for Policy Studies says that NAFTA has taken a toll on Mexican jobs. It argues that NAFTA has destroyed Mexico's small farmers, bringing in an influx of subsidized U.S. food imports. Carnegie Endowment for International peace says that 1.3 million farm jobs have been lost since 1993. The Carnegie report also concluded that the pact has generated few new jobs in Mexico and might only be credited for a "very small net gain" in jobs in the U.S. "NAFTA has been a disaster for us," remarks pig farmer Julian Aguilera to Business Week.jobs.

POPSWe didn't play Woodstock because... It's a long list of people who regret their decision not to play (probably Dylan aside). I've always felt deeply sad about Joni not being able to play, but never knew how many bands actually turned down the gig thinking it would just be a little hippie fest on a pig farm. My mom was there and somehow I feel like I was too.

POPSSLAUGHTER.. LIVE ON TV Also: "Do you ever find yourself indulging in a meat feast and wondering how the animal made its way to your plate? Presenter Richard Johnson is here to bring together the two key moments that are usually separated in our lives and minds: the death of the animal and the eating of its meat. In each programme, we trace the journey of one animal from its life on the farm to its fate at a small working abattoir. At the abattoir, a group of specially invited people, from vegetarians to meat enthusiasts, will witness the slaughter. They'll also see how the carcass is prepared, with our butcher breaking it down and explaining the different cuts of meat. Our chef Rachel Green will then demonstrate what to do with them. Once the meal is ready, the audience is invited to taste the meat. But after witnessing the entire process, will they have the stomach for it? http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/programmes/kill_it/

POPSMilitary Uses Pigs in Trauma Training The idea is to work with live tissue. You get a pig and you keep it alive. And every time I did something to help him, they would wound him again. So you see what shock does, and what happens when more wounds are received by a wounded creature. My pig? They shot him twice in the face with a 9-millimeter pistol, and then six times with an AK-47 and then twice with a 12-gauge shotgun. And then he was set on fire. I kept him alive for 15 hours. That was my pig.

POPSPLEASE HELP THOSE THAT CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES!!!! The pigs at Wiles Farm in Ohio are treated terribly! Sows are strangled by hanging, piglets are grabbed by their ears and legs and thrown up to ten feet into a metal bin. Joe WIles, the owner's son, just throws the piglets like they are nothing he has said "pigs don't feel pain" All the pigs are kept in filthy condtions and sever overcrowding is reason why weaker pigs cannot access food and water and are often trampled by the other pigs. PLEASE EMAIL PROSECUTOR FRANK FORCHIONE. YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ONE OF THE EMAIL SAMPLES I HAVE CLIPPED. PLEASE DO THIS! THER IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS AND IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME! You can go to Hfa.org to read about his and other farming atrocities. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN!
