Lame News Story!
Critter News
JANUARY 21, 2009
So, I click on this story because the link says no pets were lost on the US Airways flight that went down in the Hudson. Great, right? Makes it sound like they were rescued right?

The miracle US Airways flight that went into the Hudson River has another feel-good story: The airline says no pets were lost on the flight.

Critter News
DECEMBER 31, 2010
I received an alert from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The Alamagordo chimps will be allowed to remain in New Mexico for about two years while the NIH studies the issue of their transference.

(AP) AP) - Some 186 chimpanzees will remain at a federal facility in New Mexico for now.

MAY 27, 2009
Here are a couple recent bits of good news. We who want humans to stop using sentient nonhumans have few victories to celebrate. But one area that continues to provide them is the fight against the use of greyhounds as a source of entertainment (and gambling revenue) by forcing them to race. You may recall that Massachusetts voters let their opinions about dog racing be heard when they voted to ban racing in their state.
