Welcome!

Welcome to the Punk and Vegetarian Recipes blog. This blog will discuss punk bands and various vegetarian or vegan recipes.

What is punk? Punk is more than music. It's about creativity, community, equality, individuality, politics, questioning, self-expression, and unity. It is a lifestyle not a trend.

Elephant Death

An elephant death occurred on Thursday in the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Umoya was a 21 year old elephant originating from Swaziland, Africa. Umoya was one of seven elephants brought to California to be put in the zoo.Umoya most likely suffered attacks by another elephant.

The zoo has reported the death to the federal officials, since it is their stand procedure to do so. However, the death has caused  an uproar amongst the animal liberation community. It has shown how inadequate zoos are to hold any animal.

In Defense of Animals called for the Department of Agriculture to do a full investigation on what actually occurred. Peta spokesperson, David Perle, state that the elephant should have never been driven away from their home.

Both these organizations, Peta and In Defense of Animals, strongly oppose the idea of having animals in zoos.

Story was paraphrased from LA Times.

Conflict talks about animal liberation strongly throughout their lyrics and songs. We must continue to push to get animal liberation. Organizations such as In Defense of Animals, Peta, and Ethical Treatment of Animals are showing how much they want to push for animal liberation. Here are a couple solid tunes from the band. Enjoy.
