Here's what they say about Trader Joe's eggs (definitely does not sound humane to me.) Trader Joe's, a national specialty grocer, offers a large range of vegan and soy products.

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. Feathers: animal. Not the day, the film, where Bill Murray experiences the same day over and over again. And acting.

Here's the good news: This is a very readable explanation of how animals in the Hundred Heartbeat Club (there are 100 or fewer individuals in the wild today) got to be in the club. This is irksome, as the premise is that we need to save the animals (and which ones is an interesting discussion) because we will suffer if they are gone.

If I told you what I spent last year doing work-wise, you probably wouldn't believe me and you'd definitely suggest I write a book about it. Vetsulin was the perfect new product, except for the fact that it's animal (pig) based, unlike human insulins, and then there was the problem with quality control that was first reported last year.

What Is an Animal Part? The last example suggests the difficulty of making a clear distinction between an animal part and an animal product.

Finally, when you read, I recommend not using your disagreement with someone about, say, the definition of violence, stop you from going out into your community and building alliances.

Bea directed me to the Animal Welfare Special Report at TheHill.com , in which Rep. David Scott (D-Ga), who is the chairman of the Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Subcommittee of the House Committee on Agriculture draws a line in the sand regarding the animals we use and how we use them.
