I am a total supporter of this protest. While there may be responsible and loving breeders out there, they are only contributing to an out-of-control supply problem. There are too many animals out there and not enough homes. Why don't they stop making things worse? It's plain supply and demand.

The protest happened on Wednesday. I'm late on this one. But it's worth noting that someone out there took some action on this gruesome story. And that's what I like about PETA and why I recently became a member for the first time. They are fast, organized, committed and they get attention.

If you live in LA, you are probably aware of the sorry state of LA Animal Services. While no one denies that LA has a host of other issues, it seems even the money already being allotted to animal control and animal services is being misused and as a result, we are in an animal shelter crisis.

At first I thought of a possible road accident, but soon I learned that protesting farmers have blocked the road ahead. Not at all, they are very right to protest, and I have no issue with the farmers – we all share the same enemy, our own President. Protest indeed!

These people are protesters, not terrorists. Lesley Hill Peters, suggested that the protesters could also face terrorism-related charges.

Although 40 Chinese animal rights groups have protested, they don't really have any political or financial clout to change anything. In order to offset the loss of the seal product market in Europe, Canada has made a deal with China. I'm not surprised. China as a whole still doesn't have a national conscience about these issues.
