The SHAC 7 days of xmas
Posted by D-Rock on 12/11/06 (Commentary)
The SHAC 7 Support website is running a little gimmick called The SHAC 7 Days of Xmas. I’d post one of their banners here, but they’re all a little … uh … homely? Instead, I will quote:
There’s nothing like being a prisoner during the holidays. While we’re stocking up on Tofurkeys with all the trimmings, buying and making gifts, and spending time with loved ones, the SHAC 7 are behind bars and unable to participate in any of the festivities we get to enjoy … From Monday December 11th through Sunday December 17th, we’ll count down with you the days leading into Christmas week, with daily suggestions of small ways you can help Jake, Darius, Lauren, Josh, Kevin, and Andy feel a little less lonely this holiday season.
It’s important to let prisoners - especially political prisoners (make no mistake here) - know that there are people on the outside who support them. Even if you just write one letter, it can do a lot for the morale of someone who sits behind bars with the entire system stacked against them.
Visit the SHAC 7 Days of Xmas site.
And while you’re at it, the US holds many other political prisoners - they too need your support.

and while your at it, don’t forget to write Peter Young. (supportpeter.com) He’s doing time for releasing 8000 mink from a fur farm and read a statement to the court (at his sentancing) that will give you goosebumps.

well, i’m glad to see this here. but i think it’s important to aknowledge that most prisoners in general shouldn’t be where they are. political prisoners, economic prisoners, gender prisoners: prisoners of circumstance, mostly in those cages.
in many cities there are books to prisoners groups, who provide valuable information and ideas to people who aren’t supposed to have any. here a link dinks:

I’ve been to Twin Towers in Los Angeles. I’ll tell yea, It’s hard to be Vegan in Jail unless you tell someone your diet in the beggining of processing. I remember when I couldn’t sleep at night you just think of albums you like and play them through in your head to take your mind off the fact your surrounded by fucking cops and gangsters. I did that with “Potemkin City Limits”.Damn, that album rules.

The longer time drags, the more I begin to think this really is the only way to help animals NOW. I’m still not convinced its the right method, but groups like SHAC definitely deserve support. I don’t know what I’m trying to say here, I’m not going to polemicise, but I’m glad you posted this.

I doubt there exists any ‘right method’…
Anyways, NOBODY should be in prison. Among other insights of what living behind bars is, I strongly recommand “I cried, you didn’t listen” by Dwight E. Abbott, that AK Press has recently republished.
