Stamps to the Rescue ! Adopt a shelter pet stamps from the postal service were just revealed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show! We love Ellen, not only is she funny and positive, but she has a big heart for animals (especially the ones needing rescue)! So it was no surprise that she would help unveil these great new stamps from the US Postal Service. This campaign continues the Postal Service’s 50+ year tradition of raising awareness of serious social issues with special commemorative stamps.
I finally read SPECIESISM , by Joan Dunayer, which was published a couple of years after ANIMAL EQUALITY , which I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. This book has so many great quotes that I'm going to have to write a couple of posts about them. Off we go (and all of the below are exact quotes). Whenever the media report that someone has killed "an endangered animal" or "an endangered species," they too confuse an individual with a species.
We received an email from Open Road Films with a link to the Bold Native website and trailer. The film looks really interesting to us and we are definitely going to check it out upon its re-release this summer. They will also be making the DVD available from their website. Here's the trailer.

To the Editor: Re “ Animal Abuse as Clue to Additional Cruelties ” (news article, March 18): As someone who deals with dozens of cruelty-to-animals cases every week, I applaud states that are imposing stricter penalties on people who hurt animals and that are working to establish online registries of animal abusers. Animal abusers are cowards who take their issues out on “easy victims”—and their targets often include their fellow humans.
Happy Saint Patrick’s day! Here is a fun bit of trivia for you, 5 great Irish pets. The 5 great Irish pets are: 1. Irish Setter. (Large, 60-70 pounds) This popular bird dog is best known for its flowing red hair. A high energy dog, the Irish Setter requires lots of room to run, but its sweet, stable personality makes it a great family pet. According to the Irish Setter Club of America, it “stays a puppy for a long time, and retains some of its merry Irish character forever.”. 2.
And they called it puppy love! Who could blame them? Cute of the Day: Puppy Love originally appeared on 4 The Love of Animals on March 19, 2010. Tags: cute animal photos cute of the day.
This is a special Cute of the Day because these cute dogs have a great story to go along with the photos! Karen writes: My husband and I were emptynesters until December 1st.

De-mystify the labeling on a lot of pet food – “natural,&# “raw,&# “human grade,&# “FDA approved&#. Karen Scoggins, My Perfect Pet. With so many products on the market all claiming to be the best, how does the average pet owner know whether the food they are purchasing for their pets is really healthy and safe? Knowing how terms are used on pet food labels and understanding the reality of what is actually going into our pet’s food is the first step in making healthi

1. Contribute to rescue efforts. Most organizations aiding pets in devastated areas are not-for-profit. They depend upon charitable contributions to keep. going. These three groups are already operating mobile veterinary clinics and other services in Haiti, and planning to go to Chile when they’re allowed in: IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare).

Today we have a great guest post from author Susan Wilson. She has a new book out (which I am reading right now) called One Good Dog. One Good Dog is the story of a man who is down on his luck, and a dog who is all out of chances. Together they discover the true meaning of salvation, redemption, and unconditional love. It already has me drawn in! I also wanted you to know about the Who’s Your Good Dog Campaign.
Here's an article in Nature about how many animal studies with negative or inconclusive results go unpublished. It raises the question of how useful animal research really is if we only see the studies that show relevant results. What about the ones that are negative because animals are not really representative of human biology? Or negative for whatever other reasons?
Too bad. I really liked Adrian Brody, but here he is showing up in a movie about a Spanish bullfighter. To the film's credit, though, it did spend a lot of money to avoid using real bulls. Tags: spain entertainment bullfighting.
The CITES irresponsible treatment of marine animals made it to Huffington Post too. This article is by the President of the Blue Frontier Campaign. I'm glad others share my disgust with CITES and the UN. Hopefully, regular citizens will read this and not just other activists. (I forwarded an article about this to my book club members. Knowing them, I bet they were hoping for fish and chips instead!).
Here is another sneak peek at a show on the new NatGeo WILD network! Rebel Monkeys ! The show premieres Wednesday, March 31 at 8 PM ET/PT and airs weekly – Wednesdays at 8 PM ET/PT. You can click here to learn more about the show. They’re a diabolical nuisance, yet considered sacred. But for a gang of monkeys making their home at the Galta Temple in the Indian city of Jaipur, it’s an easy life — lounge by the sacred pool, groom your friends and accept handouts from worshippers paying respect to
The opening line in this USA Today article says it all, "Every proposal to protect marine species at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species meeting in Doha, Qatar was voted down." It's unfortunate, but true, thanks primarily to Japan and China. Tags: CITES marine animals Japan china endangered species.
Looks like they'll need to since nobody else wants to protect them. In Qatar yesterday nations voted down a proposed ban on exporting Atlantic bluefin tuna. Greenpeace says the New Zealand Government voted against the ban – spelling disaster for the future of the species. Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully wasn’t available today to confirm how New Zealand voted.
We love to capture photos of our pets, what pet owner doesn’t? So, when we got a chance to check out this fun “toy&# camera called the Shironeko (white cat) from Four Corner Store, we couldn’t wait to give it a try! The package that the Shironeko Holga camera comes in is adorable! It arrives inside a round tin with a photo of a cat face on it.
Even I didn't realize how bad it was until I read this article from the Associated Press. The spotlight is on Charles River Laboratories. This article lists some of the universities and private corporations with violations. Tags: Charles River Laboratories animal research USDA.
Thanks to Blythe Wood Works for the following guest post. There is no doubt that you love the smallest member of your family. Yes, you got it right. We are talking about your cute little pet. Pets are lovable and cuddly especially if it is a cat. It is your responsibility to see that your cat is safe and comfortable. The best thing you can do for it is to build a cat house.
They have the second largest brains of all marine mammals. That's pretty impressive and demands a deeply introspective review of how we treat them. Tags: captivity animal ethics marine animals Orcas.
Thanks to your tax dollars, federal stimulus money is being used to build a $14.5 million dollar research lab. It is the largest grant thus far under the stimulus package. It will house rodents for use in experiments. Why would this West Virginia University project be the recipient of federal stimulus money? Because it will create JOBS! And research for drug development, which means more MONEY and JOBS!
Yale animal researchers complain that all these darn regulations for animal welfare are creating too much paperwork. Oh waaaaa! (insert crying baby here). Tags: Yale animal research.
A handful Animal Person readers since May of 2006, when I started this then-daily blog, have asked me if I've read Joan Dunayer. And now that I've read Animal Equality and begun Speciesism , I think I know why. My deconstructions of the language of our relationship with sentient nonhumans in this blog--and the way I approach discussing that relationship--is similar to Dunayer's.
