They have video. The video footage shows monkeys biting themselves and slamming against the bars of small cages. Other scenes show a newborn chimpanzee being taken from its mother and an adult screaming as a lab worker aims a tranquilizer gun before the animal falls sedated from a shelf to the floor.

I've been having a difficult time blogging both here and at Animal Rights & AntiOppression lately because I feel like my thoughts are like " Groundhog Day." There are few animal rights stories in the news. I confirmed my weird personal right to consume chicken." People are talking. And acting. That's respect.

Ugh, this is barbaric and right out of the dark ages. Armed with new undercover video of four such events, the Humane Society of the United States is pressuring state officials to explicitly outlaw the practice, which the organization says is effectively banned in every other state. From the AP.

A funny, heart-warming video called “ SMILE ,” developed by “I’m Tired of” (ITo), the makers of the popular “I’m Tired of Animal Cruelty” bracelet, which raises money for animal rights and rescue charities, has reached viral levels. To view the “SMILE” video, click here.

The images aren't yet made public and can only be seen through that specific link) We already have many static images but we need to film some more farms on video and recover some of the best footage from a broken hard drive. There's a donate button on the homepage of AnimalEquality right at the bottom of the "Pig Farms" panel.

With strikingly honest interviews and rare footage demonstrating the emotional lives and intense family bonds of animals most often viewed as living commodities, PEACEABLE KINGDOM: THE JOURNEY HOME shatters stereotypical notions of farmers, farm life, and perhaps most surprisingly, farm animals themselves.

Here's a link to the investigative video. Instead, Eggland's Best says it will get classic brown eggs from other locations.

So here I am, on the third anniversary of Animal Person, asking for advice that has nothing to do with veganism or animal rights (and I've tweeted about this so some of you already know what's coming). And I cannot say I haven't missed a day for three years.

I wrote about atheism, diabetes (which I do think is important and stay tuned for a video about canine diabetes and how to test blood sugar), dog food, feral cats, and of course, greyhound racing. Stay tuned for more lessons from four years of blogging at Animal Person. I was all over the place.

Brief commentary follows this e-mail I received regarding greyhounds, animal rights and Ireland. We're simply asking you for just a couple of hour to help greyhounds in serious trouble right now. Need reminding why cruelty to animals is wrong? I wonder how well that works.

The design of Animal Person is probably as uninviting as it could possibly be. I don't frequently use photos, I rarely use video, and my posts are often long. If I had it all to do again, I'd do a video blog and I'd get at least proficient at the technical aspects. As for categories, I never got that one right, either.

Finally, "But the idea of how an animal meets its ultimate fate is usually ignored—until, of course, we see YouTube videos of sick cows being hauled to their deaths on bulldozers." The animal is an "it," but I wouldn't expect anything more in this type of article. Potent if symbolic? In other words, it's a scam. Not eating them.

Then there's the instructional video sent in by a viewer teaching us how to make chicken cutlets. Right after all of the love in the world for the chickens of the barnyard. Think of what an egg is, people! As I often say: I don't eat my own menstrual secretions. Why would I want to eat someone else's?

I've been out of every loop I used to be in because my work outside of veganism and animal rights came a-calling in a most critical way. about the eating of animals. And it's fantastic that there are films and vlogs and videos that deal with how we use animals--and that they are reaching the masses.

Here's a video she showed, produced by the Nike Foundation: The message is clear and necessary and indisputable. But it's the same concept that underlies both situations: viewing others as commodities that you have a right to exploit. The only problem is that in the case of animals, most people don't see that yet.
