Joseph Williamson's blog http://www.thewilliamson.com Me and my life, changing the world little bit at a time Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:31:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 en No to Sheep Abuse http://www.thewilliamson.com/2007/11/20/no-to-sheep-abuse/ http://www.thewilliamson.com/2007/11/20/no-to-sheep-abuse/#comments Tue, 20 Nov 2007 14:24:11 +0000 joe http://www.thewilliamson.com/2007/11/20/no-to-sheep-abuse/ Someone said that I should really upload this. I actually made this the day after I wrote the post on Sheep Abuse, but just never found the time to polish it, and don’t think I ever will.

Enjoy!

I thought “has there been another terrorist attack in the states?”. I went into the shop to enquire about it, the staff said “oh yeah, someone pulled the wrong end of the rope”.

Put an end to sheep abuse http://www.thewilliamson.com/2007/09/13/put-an-end-to-sheep-abuse/ http://www.thewilliamson.com/2007/09/13/put-an-end-to-sheep-abuse/#comments Thu, 13 Sep 2007 09:36:51 +0000 joe http://www.thewilliamson.com/2007/09/13/put-an-end-to-sheep-abuse/ People seem to think sheep abuse is some kind of a joke.

They don’t realise the seriousness behind it. I can assure you that it is not at all funny for the victims. I have decided to make a campaign video to raise awareness of the issue, here’s the script so far, your input is much appreciated.

Campaign against sheep abuse

This is a message from N2SA.

Every year thousands of sheep are systemmatically abused across England, Scotland and Wales.

<Chart showing the reported cased aross the UK>

The abusers are often their own masters.

<Image of a man taking off his belt, evil laughter and a fearful sheep in the dark>

<News readers talking about sheep abuse>

But you can help, with just £2 a month you can help us take more sheep out of suffering.

<Cue happy music>

Thousands of sheep have already been saved and taken to our shelter where they are safe. Our shelter can provide them with counselling and a basic education.

<Show happy sheep running around freely on the farm>

Sheep don’t have a voice, but together we can put an end to sheep abuse.

So please, call us on 0800 242 1234

Or visit us at no2sheepabuse.org and no2sheepabuse.or.jp

The only thing YOU should be putting on is a woolly sweater.

Thank you

I remember that’s what I did the first day I arrived here, back then I didn’t know any of them, and neither did they know me.

Joe vs. mum! (Title changed) http://www.thewilliamson.com/2007/05/11/joe-vs-mom/ http://www.thewilliamson.com/2007/05/11/joe-vs-mom/#comments Fri, 11 May 2007 08:25:38 +0000 joe http://www.thewilliamson.com/2007/05/11/joe-vs-mom/ Just been playing with the little kids from the kindergarten after school. In the end one of the kids wouldn’t let me go, and when his mom mum arrived, he sat between me and his mom mum wondering who to choose.

Then he came to me!

Whenever I tried to give him back his mom mum he just cried.

It was a heart breaking event!
