Today I’m exploring a couple questions that have been bouncing in my head for a while…I’d love to hear your thoughts…I’m not calling into question animalrights, just the focus of the movement. – The Great Ornithologist Felonious Jive Animalrights. This makes perfect sense.
The Longest Struggle: Animal Advocacy from Pythagoras to PETA by Norm Phelps came out in 2007. Thoroughly researched and annotated, The Longest Struggle reflects its author's two decades as an animalrights activist and his access to movement leaders who have shared with him their personal stories of campaigns that made animalrights history.
Ringling Brothers is coming to Kent, WA, and I'm happy to know the Northwest AnimalRights Network will be protesting (we live in nearby Seattle by the way.).
Northwest AnimalRights Network (NARN) will be staging protests at this fur store in Everett, WA. The company is Terry L. Fieck Furs. Here is their idea of a fur coat. Nice and GREEN! Literally and sarcastically.
In " 'AnimalRights:' Pernicious Nonsense for Both Law & Public Policy ," Massachusetts attorney and "sportsman" Richard Latimer is on the mark with some concepts, and way off with others. Now, I know you're saying: That's not what animalrights is. For an attorney, that's awfully weak.
MEXICO CITY – Animalrights activists staged a protest against the sale of pets in Mexico City, urging residents to adopt dogs and other animals instead of buying them. Late on this story. I copied the full article from the Latin American Herald Tribune.
21, 2007: A group of 20 protesters demonstrated outside of a UC Berkeley professor's home in El Cerrito. They trespassed on his front yard, chanted slogans and accused him of being a murderer because of his use of animals in research. From the looks of it, they aren't charging them with any firebombings or anything like that.
Brief commentary follows this e-mail I received regarding greyhounds, animalrights and Ireland. We're simply asking you for just a couple of hour to help greyhounds in serious trouble right now. Need reminding why cruelty to animals is wrong?
A British animalrights activist is starting a prison sentence after being found guilty of (I think) conspiracy to commit arson. He planted petrol bombs at Oxford University to protest plans to build an animal research laboratory. Tags: UK activism animalrightsanimal laboratories.
Here in Seattle, NARN (Northwest AnimalRights Network) has been staging protests at a local restaurant that serves foie gras. Having said that though, I see that these types of protests have had an effect in the San Diego area. They've caught a lot of grief over it.
Animalrights activists stretched a 60-foot banner across the Hawthorne Bridge {Saturday} morning targeting the Oregon National Primate Research Center at OHSU. In support of National Primate Liberation Week, the Portland Animal Defense League hung a banner that read "OHSU: Stop Killing Monkeys Now!" From Oregonlive.
I thought this was an interesting piece contrasting three different people and their relationships with animals. One is a meat-eating professor of animal welfare, another is an animalrights activist, and the third is an animal researcher. This quote from the animalrights person is spot-on for me.[Maria's]
From the press release: “To characterize protest and speech as terrorist activities is ludicrous,” said Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) cooperating attorney Matthew Strugar. And it is not just animalrights activists who are in danger here. These activities are protected by the First Amendment.
Although 40 Chinese animalrights 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.
I credit Will Potter as the catalyst for shifting my focus away from critiques of other activists and activist groups (particularly his post, " While the Government Continues Attacks on Activists, AnimalRights Groups Protest Each Other " back in 2008). I'm not saying that criticism of PETA, or any other group, isn't warranted.
Wonder if that could get activists into trouble under AETA (Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act.) Animalrights activists are targeting a University of Florida researcher for his role in experiments on primates — even though he says he doesn't personally conduct animal research.
In this week’s podcast ending February 13, 2010: **Britain’s Ministry of Defense defends its use of pigs as subjects in explosives testing; **an elephant expert argues for the closing of the elephant exhibit at the Toronto Zoo; **the State of Hawaii seeks to toughen penalties for dog fighting; **Animalrights groups protest the Canadian seal hunt in (..)

A group of animalrights activists sued the U.S. government Thursday to challenge the constitutionality of a rarely used law they say treats them like terrorists if they cause a loss in profits for businesses that use or sell animal products. Read the full article in the Washington Post.
car companies used live animals, including pigs, for crash tests until the early 1990s. They stopped after protests from animalrights groups, such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Tags: rats animal experimentation military pigs. Roadside bombs are the top killer of U.S. Did you know this?
This was a clear violation of animal law. Next time, though, I might want to hook up with an animalrights group to protest. We are in Gustine and we were invited to the spectacle being held tonight. They are just stupid and really have nothing to do with religion.
Here's another direct action and its result, as described in an interview by Larry Mantle on KPCC Radio (it's the one called " AnimalRights vs. Animal Testing "). He speaks of the "mixed message of the animalrights community" that animals are so much like us, yet not enough like us to experiment on.
This gives animalrights activists some time to prepare further defense of the animals. Animal welfare activists protested the transfer. I received an alert from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Good way to end 2010. Here's the story as reported in NewsWest. ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP)
The feud between animalrights activists and researchers is among the bitterest in science. But many researchers - although adamant that animal research remains critical to finding cures and expanding medical knowledge - have come to concede that using creatures as human stand-ins is unnecessary for many procedures.
It is simply projustice, insisting only that the scope of justice be seen to include respect for the rights of animals. The animalrights movement is not for the faint of heart. How we change the dominant misconception of animals—indeed, whether we change it—is to a large extent a political question.
Films, blogs, books, e-zines, sanctuaries, protests, promotion of adoption (of humans and nonhumans!). Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics Language animalrights Blogging veganism writing. All we know for sure, just from speaking with other vegans, is that there are as many stories as there are individuals.
But I saw on television that certain animal-rights activists demonstrated against the wearing of furs. I agree with the protesters that producing, selling, buying, and wearing furs is wrong. Today—the day after Thanksgiving—is traditionally the busiest retail sales day of the year. Needless to say, I stayed away from the stores.
The Argument from Human Grain Shortage All of the clearly moral arguments for vegetarianism given so far have been in terms of animalrights and suffering. For an explanation of this feature, click on “Moral Vegetarianism” at the bottom of this post. It is argued that beef cattle and hogs are protein factories in reserve.
Yesterday's " Do Small Victories Affect Big Picture in AnimalRights Debate? Both, of course, were seen as victories, but the article's author, Richard Foot, asks: Do such successes mean the animalrights movement is winning its long, controversial campaigns to gain the same legal protections for animals as those ascribed to humans?
More important, it might be a much more efficient means of changing practice to stage protests at meat-packing companies, put pressure on congressmen, and work through existing humane organizations. One suspects that the SPCA and the American Humane Society have done more to stop cruelty to animals than vegetarians ever could.
The move was in response from pressure from an animalrights group. THE MATADOR – one of the most abiding and traditional images of Spain – has been removed from advertising by a leading Irish travel company following a protest by animalrights activists. It's a small step, but every one counts.
It is chilling in its narrowness, because it targets a single group of political activists, namely, animalrights activists. It makes certain conduct criminal if engaged in by animalrights activists, but not criminal when engaged in by other activists, say, by anti-abortion activists.
