Malaysian Official Says God Made Animals for Testing
Critter News
MAY 31, 2010
This is pretty vile in my opinion. From the AP. A Malaysian government official defended an Indian company's plans to build an animal testing medicine lab in his state, saying Monday that God created monkeys and rats for experiments to benefit humans. The plans by India's Vivo BioTech Ltd. to set up a biotechnology center in southern Malacca state has come under fire by activists because it will conduct tests on dogs and primates to make medicines.

My Hollywood Pets is an online shop that offers great products for your dog (and for cats too). Baby the Maltese recently got the chance to try out their frog costume. The costume is not only totally adorable, it is also very well made! The fabric is very soft cotton, with embroidered frog eyes on the hood. It’s a one piece jumpsuit style, with the tummy and rear open for easy bathroom use.

Dissatisfaction with Oil Spill Cleanup Increases
Critter News
MAY 30, 2010
People are apparently getting more pissed at both Obama AND BP. This situation totally sucks. I just think the minute that rig blew up, the result was inevitable. I think that the magnitude of this disaster is not a question of cleanup, but of prevention in the first place. We can get mad at BP and Obama, but the problem is that this was a disaster waiting to happen.

Walk your dog in style!
4 The Love Of Animals
MAY 27, 2010
With summer arriving soon, more time will be spent in the park and on walks with our furry friends. I am happy to share this great product, chicBuds , that can give you a bit of style while you listen to your tunes on your walks with your dog. Not only do they look great, but the chicBuds earphones are retractable! This makes them easy to take with you in a purse, and also makes it so you only have to let out as much, or as little, of the cord that you need.
Cute of the Day: Open Wide!

ORLANDO, FL (May 26, 2010) — Open Wide! Proud Parents Feed Their Chick at SeaWorld Orlando. A tawny frogmouth chick, hatched April 11, gets fed by its mother, while the father looks on. In less than a year, six chicks have been hatched at SeaWorld and all are now thriving. Until recently, the population of tawny frogmouths in North American zoos was facing extinction — and breeding programs were largely unsuccessful.
Lessons Learned, The Finale

MAY 26, 2010
After all this time it seems that. the Island's sideways world was a purgatory of sorts where the Oceanic 815 survivors were supposed to learn more lessons or go one way or the other (good or bad), but Desmond intervened to bring them all together and move forward to the light. Oh wait, wrong series (and by the way I watched only the last season of Lost, so I could be completely wrong about the above).
Greenpeace Activists Threatened with Terrorism Charges
Critter News
MAY 25, 2010
It's bullshit and there is no way this can stand, but the fact that it's even been threatened is ridiculous. These people are protesters, not terrorists. This is just a tool to silence criticism of large corporations. From the New York Times' Green Blog. Charges have been filed against seven members of Greenpeace who boarded an offshore drilling support ship in a Louisiana port and painted anti-drilling slogans in crude oil on the vessel’s side on Monday afternoon.
Just Two Lessons Learned for Today
Animal Person
MAY 25, 2010
I've decided that 20 lessons is a good number to stop at, and today I'll discuss what are probably the two most controversial ones, about the animal rights movement. Lesson #11. The Appeal of Cliques The first six Lessons Learned from 4 Years of Animal Person and numbers 7-10 hinted about cliques, but only the negative aspects. For me, preaching to the choir wasn't satisfying and also became ugly and time consuming because I positioned myself to be part of a clique and that didn't work well for
Gross Monkey Experiment
Critter News
MAY 24, 2010
Now this is pretty gross. I understand it's for HIV prevention, but still. testing a vaginal gel on monkeys. Disturbing. The gel was applied vaginally to three pigtailed macaques twice a week for seven weeks. Thirty minutes after each gel application, the animals were exposed to SHIV, for a total of 14 "challenges." A fourth animal received a placebo gel in the same manner.
Birds Suffering from Oil Spill
Critter News
MAY 24, 2010
Pelicans unable to fly due to being coated with oil. It's the Exxon Valdez all over again. Several pelicans were coated in oil on Barataria Bay off Louisiana, their usually brown and white feathers now jet black. Pelican eggs were glazed with rust-colored gunk, and new hatchlings and nests were also coated with crude. It is unclear if the area can even be cleaned, or if the birds can be saved.
Lessons Learned From 4 Years of Animal Person, Part 2

MAY 24, 2010
Yesterday's lessons learned were primarily about blogging. Today they're about language. Lesson #7 Obsessing over language can become counterproductive. And this, coming from a person with a doctorate in Applied Linguistics. I can talk about language all day, every day. How it shapes our lives and our culture. How it changes because it's not static--it's alive.

Gulf Oil a Looming Threat to Marine Life
Critter News
MAY 18, 2010
So far, we're not seeing the large-scale impact of this oil spill on marine life. But there are concerns out there. It may not be immediate, like oil-coated birds, but slower and more subtle, like the effect on oxygen levels in the sea. This is a complex ecosystem we're dealing with. From NPR. Especially troubling to scientists are the effects the oil and dispersants could be having on dissolved oxygen levels in the water.

MAY 18, 2010
Dog Is Good is a great clothing and gift company for people who love dogs. We recently got a chance to try one of their shirts, and I have to say, it is the perfect spring/fall shirt! It has long sleeves, but is made of a soft lightweight pima cotton, making it just right when the weather is just a little cool. It would be great for colder months too, but I love being able to wear it with out a jacket.
Komen and KFC: A Match Made in Hell
Critter News
MAY 17, 2010
I am not a fan of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Aside from their support of animal research, I have enountered them in my line of work and find them corporate, condescending, and self-righteous. However, I can hardly believe that they would actually partner with KFC (KFC!!!) for cancer research. It's not just a question of animal rights. Chickens that are used for KFC products are horribly treated.
Suit Filed Against the Minerals Management Service
Critter News
MAY 17, 2010
Good! From Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine. The Southern Environmental Law Center and Defenders of Wildlife filed suit challenging the Minerals Management Service’s (MMS) complicity in the Gulf oil disaster and continued lax oversight of oil drilling operations, including its failure to require a thorough examination of spill risks from exploratory drilling operations like the Deepwater.

Did you know that May 16-22 is National Dog Bit Prevention Week? Neither did we! That is, not until we got an email from the USPS. Now that we know, we are happy to spread the word. They are working hard to help spread that word about how to prevent dog bites. Here are the tips and stats that they sent us: Nearly 2,900 letter carriers were bitten by dogs last year, yet that pales in comparison to the 4.7 million Americans needlessly victimized by dog bites each year.

It's just weird how many birds are being killed in England, Scotland and Ireland. May 2010. A horrific total of 6 eagles, 10 buzzards, 3 red kites, a Peregrine falcon and a sparrowhawk have all been poisoned in recent weeks across Ireland, England and Scotland. And these are just the ones that we know about and have been discovered. Tags: wildlife crime UK Ireland.
Victoria's Secret Stops Selling Exotic Animal Skins
Critter News
MAY 16, 2010
Victoria's Secret was selling what? I didn't know they were doing this in the first place! And I just bought something from them last month for the first time. Anyway, I'm wondering if the decision could have been influenced by PETA's investigation of how reptiles are being skinned alive for these sales. This PETA post doesn't claim the credit though.

Foreclosures Threaten Pets As Well As People. While many animal shelters already struggle on a day-to-day basis to care for the millions of unwanted animals that are dropped at their door, the numbers have grown to an almost unmanageable degree over the last few years. The culprit for this surge in animal homelessness is a testimonial to these trying times: human homelessness.
Newfoundland Seal Hunt Extended
Critter News
MAY 14, 2010
Earlier this week, Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea extended the end date of the annual seal hunt from May 15 to May 31. This is because of the poor "harvest" due to bad ice conditions. Poor, poor seal hunters. I'm sorry, but I don't care who makes money off this barbaric practice. It's cruel. If people in indigenous communities can only make money off this, then perhaps Canada should invest in some education and economic development programs to bring these communities into a more sustain
Poochie Bells

MAY 14, 2010
When we brought Baby home as a little puppy, we didn’t know about GW Little or these awesome poochie bells. We did train Baby to use a bell at the door when she needs to go out, but it isn’t nearly as pretty to look at as these poochie bells are. They are on our pet wish list. I have to admit, we felt pretty smart using a bell chime that we had as a make shift doggy door bell!
