MEXICO CITY – Animal rights 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.
Here in Seattle, NARN (Northwest Animal Rights 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. I can't say I've always felt it was the best use of time.
Both groups will be protesting the seal hunt using the Olympic torch ceremony as the backdrop. PETA and the International Fund for AnimalWelfare (IFAW) are holding a joint news conference this week, and I would like to offer you an exclusive advance scoop on it.
Animalwelfare activists protested the transfer. A federal contract covering the chimps expires next year. The NIH proposed sending them to Texas to be used in research aimed at finding a hepatitis C vaccine. The chimps have been free from testing at the Alamogordo Primate Facility at Holloman Air Force Base since 2001.
I thought this was an interesting piece contrasting three different people and their relationships with animals. One is a meat-eating professor of animalwelfare, another is an animal rights activist, and the third is an animal researcher. This quote from the animal rights person is spot-on for me.[Maria's]
Latimer refers to his previous two posts where he has "documented the ethical and moral shallowness of the 'animal rights' credo itself, which is based more on an anti-human self hatred, taking the form of a 'moral' squeamishness concerned more with stamping out human 'cruelty,' no matter what the social or economic costs might be.
The animal rights movement is (rightly) closely associated with protesting things like factory farming, dogfighting, etc…basically, the mistreatment of animals. What I don’t understand is why animal rights organizations almost completely ignore wildlife. This makes perfect sense.
In addition to working to stop this cull, IFAW is helping draft China’s first national animalwelfare legislation that will prohibit culls like this. Please send your message of protest today. We’ve stopped culls like this in other Chinese cities, and we can stop this one too!
