  • Things You Didn't Know About Hsus
    THINGS YOU Didn’T KNOW ABOUT (THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE HSUS UNITED STATES) THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS) IS a “humane SOCIETy” in name onlY. 7It isn’t affiliated with any hands-on “humane society” organizations, and it doesn’t operate a single pet shelter or pet adoption facility anywhere. During 2008, HSUS contributed barely $450,000— less than one-half of one percent of its budget—in grants to dog and cat shelters. By comparison, that same year it gave $2.25 million to a political campaign committee behind an anti-meat ballot initiative in California, and put $2.5 million into HSUS’s executive pension plan. HSUS is the wealthiest animal-rights lobbying organization on earth. It agitates for the same goals as PETA and other radical groups, but uses fewer naked interns. BEGINNING ON THE DAY OF NFL QUARTERBACK Michael Vick’S 2007 DOG-FIGHTING INDICTMENT, HSUS RAISED MONEY ONLINE WITH THE FALSE PROMISE THAT IT Would “care FOR THE DOGS SEIZED IN THE MICHAEL VICK CASE.” The New York Times later reported that HSUS wasn’t caring for Vick’s dogs at all. And HSUS President Wayne Pacelle told the Times that his group urged government officials to “put down” (that is, kill) the dogs rather than adopt them out to suitable homes. HSUS later quietly altered its Internet fundraising pitch. Vick now gives HSUS “sponsored” speeches. And most of his dogs have been rehabilitated—without any help from HSUS. HSUS’S SENIOR MANAGEMENT INCLUDES A FORMER SPOKESMAN FOR THE ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT (ALF), A CRIMINAL GROUP DESIGNATED AS a “TERRORIST” organizaTION BY THE FBI.

  • 7 Things You Didn't Know About HSUS
    THINGS YOU Didn’T KNOW ABOUT (THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE HSUS UNITED STATES) THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS) IS a “humane SOCIETy” in name onlY, 7SINCE IT DOESn’T OPERATE A SINGLE PET SHELTER OR PET ADOPTION FACILITY ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. During 2006, HSUS contributed only 4.2 percent of its budget to organizations that operate hands-on dog and cat shelters. In reality, HSUS is a wealthy animal-rights lobbying organization (the largest and richest on earth) that agitates for the same goals as PETA and other radical groups. BEGINNING ON THE DAY OF NFL QUARTERBACK Michael Vick’S 2007 DOGFIGHTING INDICTMENT, HSUS RAISED MONEY ONLINE WITH THE FALSE PROMISE THAT IT Would “care FOR THE DOGS SEIZED IN THE MICHAEL VICK CASE.” The New York Times later reported that HSUS wasn’t caring for Vick’s dogs at all. And HSUS president Wayne Pacelle told the Times that his group recommended that government officials “put down” (that is, kill) the dogs rather than adopt them out to suitable homes. HSUS later quietly altered its Internet fundraising pitch. HSUS’S SENIOR MANAGEMENT INCLUDES A FORMER SPOKESMAN FOR THE ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT (ALF), A CRIMINAL GROUP DESIGNATED AS “TERRORISTS” BY THE FBI. HSUS president Wayne Pacelle hired John “J.P.” Goodwin in 1997, the same year Goodwin described himself as “spokesperson for the ALF” while he fielded media calls in the wake of an ALF arson attack at a California veal processing plant. In 1997, when asked by reporters for a reaction to an ALF arson fire at a farmer’s feed co-op in Utah (which nearly killed a family sleeping on the premises), Goodwin replied, “We’re ecstatic.” That same year, Goodwin was arrested at a UC Davis protest celebrating the 10-year anniversary of an ALF arson at the university that caused $5 million in damage.

  • Fragmenty Politiky & Heterogenita Punkových Festivalů V Soudobém
    Central European Journal of Politics Volume 4 (2018), Issue 1, pp. 34–56 ČLÁNKY / ARTICLES Fragmenty politiky & heterogenita punkových festivalů v soudobém Česku1 Bob Kuřík2 Department of Social and Cultural Ecology, Faculty of Humanities, Charles University Fragments of politics & heterogeneity of punk festivals in contemporary Czechia. Using an example of punk festivals Mighty Sounds, Pod Parou, Fluff Fest approached qualitatively in years 2015–2017, the text targets two main concerns. The first one is a non-problematized premise of homogeneity of punk seen in many investigations in Czechia. The second one is a conceptual crisis in a research of politics at festivals which is stuck between a threat of over- politicization with scrutinizing a subversive function of festival as such and under- politicization with a resignation to focus at relation between politics and festivals at all. The text moves from the functionalist perspective on politics of festival to non-functionalist scrutiny of fragments of politics at festivals. Such move not only enables to analyse and compare the festivals in contents, forms and positions of the fragments, but as well to trace different logics of punk behind them – multi- or post-subcultural punk of MS, streetpunk of PP and HC/punk of FF. By doing so, heterogeneity of punk is revealed. Keywords: Czech Republic, punk festival, fragments of politics, heterogeneity, musical youth subcultures How to Cite: Kuřík, B. 2018. “Fragmenty politiky & heterogeneita punkových festivalů v soudobém Česku” Central European Journal of Politics 4 (1): 34-56. 1. Úvod V poslednı́ch letech v Cesku proběhla řada sociálněvědnı́ch výzkumů punku, ze kterých se vyrojilo hned několik zajı́mavých studiı́ – ať už těch zaměřených výlučně na danou subkulturu, respektive scénu (napr.̌ Pixová 2011; Cı́sař a Koubek 2012), tak těch, kteřı́ s punkem pracujı́ jako s jednı́m z přı́kladů širšı́ho problému (napr.̌ Novotná a Heřmanský 2014; Daniel 2016).

  • Vegetarianism
    Vegetarianism 1. Animal Cruelty Industrial farming is abusive to animals. Pigs. In America, nine out of ten of pregnant sows live in “gestation crates.” These pens are so small that the pigs can hardly move. When the sows are first crated, they flail around, as if they’re trying to escape from the crate. But soon they give up. The pigs often show signs of depression: they engage in meaningless, repetitive behavior, like chewing the air or biting the bars of the stall. The animals live in these conditions for four months. Gestation crates will be phased out in Europe by the end of 2012, but they will still be used in America.1 In nature, pigs nurse their young for about thirteen weeks. But in industrial farms, piglets are taken from their mothers after a couple of weeks. Because the piglets are weaned prematurely, they have a strong desire to suck and chew. But the farmers don’t want them sucking and chewing on other pigs’ tails. So the farmers routinely snip off (or “dock”) the tails of all their pigs. They do this with a pair of pliers and no anesthetic. However, the whole tail is not removed; a tender stump remains. The point is to render the area sensitive, so the pigs being chewed on will fight back.2 Over 113 million pigs are slaughtered each year in America.3 Typically, these pigs are castrated, their needle teeth are clipped, and one of their ears is notched for identification —all without pain relief.4 In nature, pigs spend up to three quarters of their waking hours foraging and exploring their environment.5 But in the factory farms, “tens of thousands of hogs spend their entire lives ignorant of earth or straw or sunshine, crowded together beneath a metal roof standing on metal slats suspended over a septic tank.”6 Bored, and in constant pain, the pigs must perpetually inhale the fumes of their own waste.
