Kudos to Spain
(1 comments)
I have not thought of Spain as a country of animal concern. In fact, quite the opposite. However, with their parliament considering a resolution to grant legal rights to members of the ape family, I am changing my mind.

So much good information out there re our diets and health, but sadly we ignore so much of it too. Kudos to New York City legislators who are helping New Yorkers make wiser menu decisions in the restaurants they use.

A Tribute to Mindy, a Pit Bull Dog
(2 comments)
Another needless banning of pit bulls in Lakewood, Ohio. It is wrong for the media to just report pit bull bitings. Other dogs bite as well. The Center of Disease Control has not zeroed in on any specific breed responsible for dog bites.

Open Letter to the Gates Foundation
(17 comments)
I was devastated reading Martha Rosenberg's article on the Gates Foundation intending to use Heifer International to promote animal husbandry in the poor parts of Africa. I couldn't help thinking --when will it stop? We and the poor of Africa don't need meat to be healthy and it is not even cost efficient, good for the animals or the environment.

Boycott the Chinese Olympics?
(6 comments)
The 1988 Korean Olympics shocked us with the revelation that they killed dogs for food by oftentimes hanging them and beating them as they were dying to make the meat "tastier." Will the 2008 Chinese Olympics prove kinder and gentler to the animals?

Heroes Come in All Stripes
The NIH often liberally dispenses
our taxpayer monies for questionable research which often causes cruel and unnecessary suffering to the animals. What can we do?

Amazing Animals
For too long animals have been treated as second rate - sadly even by Christians who should know better. God doesn't make anything second rate. Hopefully, we will realize this and make their lives happy as we want our lives to be.

Everybody is agitating for change in government. I am hoping that all the states will upgrade their animal cruelty laws. It is time. It is past time.
