Stop the Violence in Mexico! No More Emo Bashing! April 4, 2008
Posted by Lara Sanders at April 4, 2008 10:02 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 28 ) | TrackBackHas anyone heard of this emo bashing business going on in Mexico? For anyone who hasn't heard- the last couple of weeks emo kids in Mexico have been targeted and beat up because a group of people don't like how they look, dress, and act.
So messed up! Can't we all just get along? So many members of the hardcore, punk, metal, and emo communities are into animal rights and are strongly opposed to contributing to the violence of animals, so what is the deal with all this violence against each other?
We at peta2 were so upset about this that we sent some peta2 tees to show our support to a group who is on the ground in Mexico organizing to protect the emos!
So what is the animal rights tie-in? Violence of all kinds is bad- whether it's violence on your plate, or violence against one another. There have been studies showing the link between animal abuse and violence toward humans.
So long story short- let's all make up and hug!

Halloween Movies Michael Myers Violence
If you joined the millions of people who went out to see Halloween this Labor Day weekend, you may have noticed a serious animal rights message in the background story.
What am I talking about? Well, did you catch how the Michael Myers character started out by killing and torturing animals before moving on to human victims?! In fact, it's pretty common knowledge by everyone from the FBI to those working with victims of domestic violence, that cruelty to animals is a warning sign for serial killers and other psychopaths who torture people.
Sure it's nice to enjoy a scary movie every once in a while, but let's not forget to keep an eye out for the real life horrors which we all have the power to stop. Be thankful that you can help both people and animals, and make sure everyone you know is aware of how all suffering is linked! The animals, our families and friends, and the whole world will be a better place as a result!
