War Horses And Others

Here is a sample video of a new Lifeforce “War Memorial” Project to raise public awareness of and respect for all animals who are exploited for military purposes.

War Horses and Others

We thought it would be appropriate to tell you about it because there is a new feature movie called "War Horse" to be released at theatres on December 25th.

Military animals are sentient creatures that are used in warfare. They are used as working animals to aid in combat related applications or weaponized (such as bombs are attached to them). Dogs, pigs, oxen, camels and horses are used for gruelling hardships such as transport, human protection, and bomb detection. Throughout history, elephants, killer whales, belugas, pigeons and rats were also used during wartimes. Dolphins, sea lions, sharks are in active use now.

In WW1 a million horses died on the British side and an overall figure of 10 million horse deaths on all sides. Of the million horses that were sent abroad from the UK, only 62,000 returned, the rest dying in the war or slaughtered in France for meat. Not a great "Thank you" for saving countless human lives!

In scientifically, inhumane military experiments they are poisoned, shot, burned, wounded, shocked and much more. They have no rights!

Please remember all life who suffered and those who continue to be exploited as they "serve”, die and are experimented on in military experiments.

The photo of the monkey is "Martha" who Lifeforce's Peter Hamilton discovered in a military research laboratory. She had been subjected to experiments and was scheduled to be blinded by a laser weapon. Lifeforce stopped that plan.
