| episode # 2 : 14 July 2008 The Truth Behind the Animal Skins Trade Every time you choose to buy a leather jacket or leather shoes, you sentence animals to a lifetime of suffering. Buying leather directly contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses, since the skins of animals are the most economically important byproduct of the multibillion-dollar meat industry. The vast majority of animals slaughtered for their skins suffer all the horrors of factory farming--intense confinement, painful mutilations, deprivation, harmful hormone and antibiotic injections, and cruel treatment during transport and slaughter.

"I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Hosea 6:6 Richard H. Schwartz, Ph.D., will discuss challenges facing contemporary Judaism in the context of vegetarianism. How does the production & consumption of meat violate basic Jewish/religious m&ates? Is there a Biblical basis for vegetarianism? Why should everyone, including Jews, be vegetarian? What does Judaism teach about the environment, helping hungry people, conserving natural resources, justice, population growth, involvement, & protest? How important is vegetarianism with regard to global survival? All these questions & more will be answered on today's show. In addition, Dr. Schwartz will describe the connections that can be made between vegetarianism & the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, which begins on December 22nd.

"Christianity and Vegetarianism" a talk by Father John Dear, S.J. Promoting peace and nonviolence, Father John Dear, a Catholic priest, has traveled the world and believes, as Gandhi did, that Jesus was the greatest practitioner of nonviolence in history. He believes that not only must we put down our swords against one another but to truly create peace on earth as Jesus envisaged, Christians must hold all life sacred, and, thus, forgo the brutal and needless slaughter of billions of animals. By embracing a plant based diet Christians can move toward greater wholeness as spiritual beings while at the same time ending world hunger and preserving the environment. As a biblical scholar and Jesuit priest Father Dear cites ample biblical evidence to support a vegetarian and nonviolent lifestyle. He also elaborates on vegetarianism as a path to health and wholeness, providing evidence that vegetarians lead healthier and longer lives than meat eaters.

Envisioning Independence Day for the Animals
Compassionate Summer Celebrations and Meat-free Gatherings
Celebrate compassion this holiday and find independence from animal-consumption. On today's show we'll hear of the many vegan summer gatherings, compassionate national conferences, and animal-free celebrations and vacations now available to those committed to a cruelty-free lifestyle. Hear about the 35th Annual Vegetarian Summerfest in the wooded hills of Pennsylvania, the National Animal Rights Conference in sunny Los Angeles, and an exotic getaway to Costa Rica for families and singles interested in exploring the vegan lifestyle with Dr. John McDougall. Also we'll get an update about our local Independence Day celebration with Society of PEACE, gone Hawaiian style for the occasion. We'll pay a visit to some regional animal sanctuaries to understand the lives of animals spared from slaughter and hear an exclusive interview with animal rights musician Justine Mayela. All this and more on today's episode of VEGAN WORLD RADIO.
