Television station WNYE, Ch 25, is described as a
'public television station owned by the New York City Dept. of Education. It
reaches NY, NJ, and Connecticut. www.wnye.org
.
They air various multi-ethnic, multi-cultural programs
on music, dance, theater and news broadcasts. I have never ever seen them
air anything remotely related to animal protection. They recently aired the
following:
- A program about how wonderful it is that the youth of
America is learning the growing field of 'modern farming' techniques. It was
basically a commercial about factory farming. They showed cows on carousels,
twenty at a time, being milked in a circle by a machine as though THEY were
machines - you couldn't tell the difference. They did not show the more
horrific results of intensive farming - they just glowingly described it,
and how the 'youth' is well-advised to work in this field.
- A weird, one-woman play entitled LIZ' CIRCUS STORIES,
about how great it is when the circus comes to town, how the man who created
a local (animal-user) circus was a hero who had a dream and made it a
reality..."Wayne twirls the whip and yells at the horses, and they all stand
up on their back legs! It's the best horse act in the county - all the
horses wear skirts!...two tigers are released into a steel ring, stalking
the trainer; I tell him 'Get Brian' who's giving elephant rides to laughing
children...' The music! the majesty!..."
Please contact WNYE and ask them to air the truth about
the animals' lives, stories that teach respect of all living beings (and the
truth about factory farms) *ALSO a suggestion from Mary Max is that they air
PEACEABLE KINGDOM:
