The Truth Behind Martial Arts

Xia45 goes inside a world of lethal moves and strict discipline.

When you hear "Martial Arts" you probably think of a karate movie starring Jackie Chan. Do you think they just get up on stage and perform all these awkward kicks and punches? No . . . actually those movies take ages to make.

I have been taking one of worldwide forms of martial arts with my whole family for three years! We have been taking tae-kwon-do. Tae-kwon-do is a very popular sport now-a-days. You may even have a studio in your town! It is a very difficult yet, fun filled sport. Of course we don't learn all the moves right away, it takes about two years to get a black belt!

Animal Abuse: the Sad but True Story

Uhackeru delves into the sad world of animal abuse.

Animal abuse is seen in many different ways. Some would say that eating an animal is abuse, others believe hitting an animal, or not taking care of an animal is abuse. Now I'm not a vegetarian, so I can't say that eating an animal is abuse, because more than half the U.S.A. eats animals. But all other harm towards animals, in my opinion is abuse.

The fur trade for instance, strips an animal of its fur, to sell to a factory, to put on clothes, to sell to people in stores. I have seen actual videos of this awful act, and it's certainly not pretty. Those horrible people take an animal by its feet, cut some of its fur from the feet, then tear the fur right off of the animal (which would be like tearing the skin off of a human). They then throw the animal on the ground, all while it's still alive! If the animal cries, they hit it in the head with a hammer, to try to crush its skull!
