SHADOWS FALL SINGER TEAMS UP WITH PETA2 TO LEAVE FANS A MESSAGE[views:9701][posts:84]______________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 11:53am - the_reverend ""] SHADOWS FALL SINGER TEAMS UP WITH PETA2 TO LEAVE FANS A MESSAGE Brian Fair Records Voice-Mail Greeting and Grants Exclusive Interview at peta2.com Norfolk, Va. - Shadows Fall lead vocalist Brian Fair might belt out hardcore with a vengeance, but he refuses to take part in the war on farmed animals. That's why Brian recorded a greeting for peta2-PETA's youth-focused division-that urges people to help animals by going vegetarian, and fans can download it into their voice-mail. "What's up?" begins the recording. "This is Brian Fair from Shadows Fall, and the person you're trying to reach wants you to know that the meat and dairy industry are based on suffering and cruelty ..." Brian started thinking about going vegetarian when he was in eighth grade, after listening to The Smiths' "Meat Is Murder." "It was just this feeling I had that I could no longer be part of the cycle of death," he says in an exclusive interview at peta2.com. Brian also believes that one reason so many people accept the abuses of farmed animals is that the cruelty is "faceless," far removed from everyday life, and that sometimes people need to be jolted back to reality. Most chickens, pigs, and cows on factory farms spend their entire lives in extremely crowded stalls, cages, or crates, often unable to turn around or take even a single step. Most see daylight only once in their lives-when they are being shipped to the slaughterhouse. "Anyone who wants to go to a slaughterhouse or check out PETA's videos will see-it's completely shocking," says Brian. "It's a lot easier just to see a Happy Meal than to see a carved-up carcass." Brian Fair joins an ever-growing list of musicians-including My Chemical Romance, Napalm Death, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Converge-who have teamed up with peta2 to inspire kids to challenge outdated, cruel attitudes about animals. Also featured on peta2.com are celebrity interviews, message boards, downloadable iron-ons, and chances to win great prizes like free concert tickets, CDs, autographed merch, and more. To hear and download Brian's message and to read his exclusive interview, please visit peta2.com. Shadows Fall will be on the main stage at Ozzfest, from July 15 to September 4.

| _________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 12:56pm - soloman ""] I dont think eating meat is inately wrong. If you think that the industry is cruel, then i can understand pushing for a more humane industry. But Peta says "animals aren't ours to eat" which sounds completely silly to me. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 1:16pm - Jesus_Slaves ""] Penn and Tellers Bullshit! did something on all this hoopla about animal rights and environmental crap. watch that show. it will make you hate all these activists even more. |

| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 1:25pm - the_reverend ""] I've not eaten veal since 1986-ish. I've not eaten cow since 1990-ish (that was on a bet with my friend which I won in 99 when he was stuck in europe). and then starting in 1994, I eat chicken 3 times a year.. it would be something like in may, I would decide "ok, time to eat chicken.." and then go to the dinning hall or mcd's and order chicken sandwiches until I wanted to die. then in Novemember, I would have chicken fingers. that slowly dropped from 3 in 94 to 0 in 99. the last piece of meat I knowingly ate was a mcd's chicken sandwich. I basically grew up with hippie parents and we had to kill animals ourselves and stuff like that. after snuffing out my last animal, a turkey in 97-98, I realized that I couldn't do that again and if I wasn't able to kill and eat the animal myself, I would be a coward to stand behind the butchers who do it. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 1:28pm - the_reverend ""] I think that if you can't go out an kill, skin, and cook a cow/deer/chicken/fish/wombat then you shouldn't be allowed to buy them at shaw's or mcd's. If it were up to me, I would make a licensing process for eating meat. It would have a bunch of pictures of animals on it. when you kill one, that animal gets x'd out. and then you can buy them at the store from that time forth. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 1:35pm - ~Carina~ ""] i tried it in highschool and then college and gave up.. then when i met aaron ..well he made it easy to not eat meat. Now whichever of us cooks dinner or whatever, it's just easy |
| ______________________________ [Jun 8,2005 1:39pm - tomx ""] no no no, humans were never meant to eat meat. thats why we have incisors and canines, used to grip and cut meat. and thats why vegans are so healthy, having to take an army of vitamins and supplements every day and still have the shittiest immune system on the face of the earth. on average, vegans die 5-7 years earlier than people who comsume meat, but abstain from red meat. its a free country and if i want to eat a chicken, thats what im gonna do. keep it to yourself. any vegan peta faggot who's gonna cry about it is gonna get punched in thier brittle, weak ribcage. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 1:52pm - the_reverend ""] our mouth is a potpurri of teeth types there tomx. it's not that we are "meant" to eat meat. what we are "meant" or "made" for is to be ready to eat EVERYTHING cause we are opportunistic scavengers by design. there are plenty of fruit-eating animals that have both canines and incisors. and there are meat eaters than have molars. |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 2:08pm - humanbonedeathmachine ""] man rev, the last meat you ate was mcd's. thats sad. you couldve done it right and got something like a cornish game hen. hell if the only meat i ate was mcds id be veg too. that shits swill. at least i have no problem killing to eat. ive killed deer, i filet fish that i catch ice fishing every year and a lot of times once i bring them inside and they start warming up, they start moving again when i cut em. once the meat gets cut off we throw the fish in a bucket of water and it tries to swim, but with no meat it goes into shutdown and dies. |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 2:09pm - humanbonedeathmachine ""] next year ill take pics of the meatless fish in a bucket. it would make awesome CD cover art |
| ________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 2:11pm - soloman ""] we were built for eating both meat and some plant life. we're omnivores. Eating meat isn't inately wrong. We are so removed from the process of butchering that it's shocking to us city folk. I even knew some kids in college that would eat chicken nugs, but were grossed out by drumsticks cuz they could "see the bone". Animals are also too personified in our culture all the time too. But that's a culture thing. Some asians eat dog, and although I dont, I don't think it's wrong to do so. but if you want to be a veggie thats cool go for it. I probably never will. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 8,2005 2:49pm - __THeMoor__ ""] there is definitly something wrong with the meat industry here, but wrong enough to stop eating meat? i'm not sure. i have stopped eating fast food. once i realized what those corperations were doing to this contry/the world i simply just couldnt eat there anymore without feeling like a dick. |
