I live in Seattle and I am always skeptical of how the UW treats its lab animals. I had never heard of the use of ferrets in medical research though. News to me. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine claims these are unnecessary procedures, even though the ferrets are apparently anesthesized during the process. Full story in the Seattle Times.

That’s right friends, the SUPER BOWL is this weekend!! Do your pets get into the football frenzy with you? If you are cheering for Green Bay, why not let your pets cheer right along with you! With a simple cut and fold, you could have your very own cheesehead for your pet! We think that this papercraft Big Cheese from Green Bay-based furniture manufacturer KI is totally adorable, and would be a ton of fun to make before the big game.

Today’s guest post is from Amy Silver. Amy is a Public Health student and an animal lover. She enjoys spending time with her two dogs, and suggests studying animal care for those who wish to turn their love into a career. Are you considering a career path that will let you interact with and help animals? Most of us would immediately think about entering into a program of study to become a veterinarian; however another exciting field to consider is that of a professional zoologist.

"The meat packing industry takes a single input, a steer, and produces many different final products. Each product must be assigned a cost including the different cuts of meat for human consumption, different food products for animal consumption (pet food

To the Editor: Re “ A Food Manifesto for the Future ” (column, Feb. 2): Let us give thanks for Mark Bittman! He is speaking sensibly about one of the most important issues we face as a nation. Better food creates better health. And yet our government is perversely encouraging food habits that negatively affect our health and our environment. His call for the end of factory farms (concentrated animal feeding operations) is courageous.
