A group of drooling dogs were all ears as actor and dog lover Taye Diggs read excerpts from the newly released ALPO® “Real Dogs Eat Meat” Handbook at a first-of-its-kind book reading event in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District on May 19. A common sense guide to help dogs be dogs again, the Handbook takes readers into the hearts, minds and mud-covered “soles” of 20 real dog “paw-thors.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

I've officially been blogging for four years (1,329 posts and 5,441 comments) today, and as I (re)ponder whether I will continue, I'd like to present some lessons I've learned about blogging, veganism, people, "the movement," language and. I'll also take requests. Today I'll address blogging. Lesson #1. Know your audience. If you want to facilitate change in the hearts, minds and actions of others, you should know your audience.

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.

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.
