Anything Goes!

Joey de Leon resigned from Manila Bulletin since it is the sister company of Balita. A column by Dindo Bellares in Balita’s July 29 issue said that Eat Bulaga!’s show in L.A. was a flop. Joey did not like the article since it was a lie according to him. Dindo also revealed that a GMA-7 executive was the one who told him about the flop. This statement placed Joey’s anger to a higher level. He now wants to know the identity of that GMA-7 executive. In exchange for that information, he will give Dindo two airplane tickets to US, may it be first-class or business-class, in any hotels in America for a week and five thousand dollars pocket money if he will reveal that person’s identity. Joey also told the world that if he sees Dindo in GMA-7 territory, he will resign from GMA-7 as well.

Joey emphasized that he hates liars and cheaters.

I’ve seen how butchers kill animals in one of GMA-7’s shows. These heartless people brutally slaughtered the animals. They used thick steel pipes to bring down horses by strongly striking them on the head. Some animals were burned to death. There were also some who kicked, punched and turned pigs upside down before killing them. Some even slice ears of pigs while they are alive. The pigs were screaming like hell when their necks were being sliced. I’ve read that pigs have the strongest sense of feeling among animals so they suffer a lot when they are slaughtered. Although there are a lot of producers who does not give a damn about animals and their feelings, there are some who still consider that these animals can feel. A certain slaughter house uses electricity so that they will  not feel a thing while being slaughtered.

Producers of meat should always think of ways to lessen the pain the animals are experiencing when being slaughtered. Although they are not humans, they too can feel. I believe there are laws on slaughtering animals so they should follow the rules. Concerned sectors of the government should strictly look out for people who are violating these laws. I really felt sorry for the animals who were brutally slaughtered. I somehow felt their pain. I hope producers of meat who would be able to read this will do the right thing from now on.
