This video almost made me cry. The animals look so happy at The Cat House on the Kings shelter.
I hope more shelters like the Cat House on the Kings show up around the country. It’s such a great idea. No cages and no killing while letting the animals have their freedom [...]

At the start of the video Sienna [Miller] appears wearing a hospital gown and totally freaking out as she tries to escape from a clothing store. Later, Miller walks into a room filled with dripping cow carcasses and proceeds to rub the blood [...]

China’s melamine problem isn’t just with milk anymore. There are now signs that the dangerous chemical has spread to animal feed supplies. Eggs were the first warning that the problem was more serious than the Chinese had previously thought, and recalls have been issued. Officials may now have to test all animal products and any [...]

The NY Times says this about the sale of ivory:

At this exact moment I should be working on my project for my political analysis class (I’m researching the type of people who vote for third parties), but while I’m reading a fascinating book titled Two Parties – Or More? (and that’s not school-related sarcasm, it really is that interesting), I’m getting my fix with [...]

Oklahoma State Senator Earl Garrison wants to establish a “Hunters Bill of Rights” because he’s scared that animal rights activists will eventually have hunting banned in this country. Let’s hope he right about that. In the meantime however, I doubt this bill will ever be passed.

Here’s a bit of an update on yesterday’s post about someone shooting a bear cub in the head, draping it in Obama signs, and leaving it at the entrance of (my own) WCU campus.

I have never been more disappointed at the people on my campus. I’m a sophmore at WCU, and until now I haven’t seen signs of this much hate and cruelty here.
Why am I upset? Because a dead baby bear was found at the entrance to campus, shot in the head, with Obama signs around its [...]

Why does Todd Palin, husband of Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin (who is delightfully disasterous for the McCain ticket), think you should vote for his wife and the “Maverick” this November? Because, as he says in a recent interview, “It is important to have a ticket that supports our core values – hunting and fishing.”
You [...]

Starting today, there will be a new vegan story posted every Friday by someone who will be sharing their experience with veganism. My hope is that the stories will inspire people to reflect on their own choices and to make more informed decisions. Veganism may not be easy, but these stories will show that it [...]

Iran is attempting to becoming a much, much crueler place. From BBC News:
Cooks in Iran have tried to assemble the world’s largest ostrich sandwich at a food festival in Tehran, as part of a bid to promote healthy eating. …
About 1,500 cooks used 1,000kg (2,200lbs) of ostrich meat to make the 1,500m (4,920ft) long sandwich.

Geez, this is just going to influence the “but plants have feelings and you eat them” crowd. *sigh*
From Treehugger:
What does wheat want? That’s a question scientists in Switzerland have to ponder now that the country is mandating that geneticists conduct their experiments with consideration to a plant’s feelings, according to The Washington Post…
In order to [...]
