SHAC7 Trailer
I credit Will Potter as the catalyst for shifting my focus away from critiques of other activists and activist groups (particularly his post, " While the Government Continues Attacks on Activists, Animal Rights Groups Protest Each Other " back in 2008). SHAC 7 Trailer from Sparrow Media on Vimeo . I'm not saying that criticism of PETA, or any other group, isn't warranted.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund Public Registries
In 2008, an earlier version of this bill passed the Tennessee Senate, but stalled in the House of Representatives. I recently got an email from the Animal Legal Defense Fund. They are pioneering legislation in California to make public animal abuse registries. In our opinion, this is a wonderful idea, and we wanted to help them spread the word.

King County Animal Shelters Still in Trouble
After all the brewhaha about improving the conditions at the King County animal shelters in Washington State (where we live), I'm still seeing this kind of stuff. A group of veterinarians that volunteered this year to treat sick animals at King County's two animal shelters has quit, citing a lack of accountability and a reluctance from shelter staff to fix a broken system. In a searing letter to the county last month, one veterinarian stated that "pervasive negativity" and an unwillingness to change led the vets to stop offering their services at the Kent and Bellevue shelters.....

Peter Singer on Animal Rights
Why is it surprising that I have little to say about the nature of rights? It would only be surprising to one who assumes that my case for animal liberation is based upon rights and, in particular, upon the idea of extending rights to animals. But this is not my position at all. I

Peter Singer on the Moral Significance of Self-Consciousness
Preference utilitarians count the killing of a being with a preference for continued life as worse than the killing of a being without any such preference. Self-conscious beings therefore are not mere receptacles for containing a certain quantity of pleasure, and are not replaceable. To take the view that non-self-conscious beings are replaceable is not to say that their interests do not count.

J. Baird Callicott on Domesticity
One of the more distressing aspects of the animal liberation movement is the failure of almost all its exponents to draw a sharp distinction between the very different plights (and rights) of wild and domestic animals. But this distinction lies at the very center of the land ethic. Domestic animals are creations of man.

From Today's New York Times
6, 200 To the Editor: Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld writes about the horrors of a kosher slaughterhouse where “news reports and government documents have described abusive practices.” But he says almost nothing about reports of how badly the animals were treated there. Religious slaughter is still slaughter.

Georgia Dog-Fighting Law Having an Impact
This information is from Best Friends. Before 2008, only one person had been incarcerated for dog fighting in Georgia. But since a new and tougher dog fighting law was passed in May 2008, multiple arrests have been made, with more on the horizon.... This is a good thing. The American Southeast is a hotbed of blood sports.

Farm Animals Help Alleviate Mental Illness
The study was released in April 2008, but I think it is still worth noting. It's not just cats and dogs! A new study, published online in Clinical Practice and Epidemiology in Mental Health, suggests that animal assisted therapy for people with mental disorders can be effective with farm animals... The study was carried out with 90 patients with a variety of mental disorders: schizophrenia, anxiety, depression and personality disorders.

Activists Again Target UCLA Over Animal Research
As today began (oct 6 2008) we caught up with a couple of your currently popular vanpools. This time, they've slipped unfired shotgun shells into the tailpipes of some UCLA vans. In two different locales, using small wooden rods we slipped unfired shotgun shells into the mufflers by way of the tailpipes of two of your vans. We also phoned into your media relations desk to let them know about it.
