PETA and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) are holding a joint news conference this week, and I would like to offer you an exclusive advance scoop on it. Tags: IFAW PETA. Both groups will be protesting the seal hunt using the Olympic torch ceremony as the backdrop.
In this week's podcast ending January 30, 2010: **A Mercy for Animals video spurs calls for a ban on tail docking in the State of New York; **Animal rights activists try to stop construction of a bullfighting ring in Beijing; **A PETA protestor gets a pie in the face for protesting against the Canadian seal hunt; **And legislation is proposed in China (..)
PETA leads the charge against the Coast Guard. A congressman also has introduced legislation that would phase out the use of animals by the military for such training. I knew the military in general used animals for combat medical practice.hadn't thought of the Coast Guard though. For the full story, go here to the Washington Post.
PETA's latest publicity stunt was to file a lawsuit in federal court alleging that five orcas at SeaWorld in San Diego are slaves for purposes of the 13th Amendment. If nonhuman animals are to be granted legal rights, it will be through legislation or common-law adjudication, not constitutional adjudication.
It's about George the 140-year-old lobster who was set free by PETA. Even before the New Scientist study, the European Food Safety Authority's Scientific Panel on Animal Health and Welfare had concluded that lobsters and crabs are capable of experiencing pain and distress and are worthy of legislative protection.
