Featured  Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, has recently partnered with Nellie's Free Range Eggs. A PETA video exposé of a Nellie's egg supplier revealed that each hen had just 1.2 square feet of floor space and that the tips of the hens' beaks were being cut off. A Nellie's employee said that the hens were killed when their productivity dropped and that they were no longer profitable to the company. Tell the Red Sox to reconsider this partnership.  Thanks to all who took action! The Cheyenne Animal Shelter president who directed staff to abuse an 8-month-old dog named Tanner by spraying him in the face with pepper spray has reportedly resigned.  Until our October 31 deadline, every dollar that you give will double in impact to help protect cats and other animals from suffering in cruel experiments.  In nature, hermit crabs can live up to 40 years, but when stolen from the wild, confined to aquariums, improperly fed, and constantly stressed, they usually die within a couple of years. Tell Purple Ape to stop selling hermit crabs at its store.  In episode 6, Hanh Nguyen reveals how humans have shaped language in order to separate ourselves from other animals and to devalue them for being different from us.  An estimated 150 animals are reportedly confined to run-down, unsafe, and filthy enclosures at Puerto Rico's only zoo, and they all need to be retired to reputable sanctuaries, where they could get the care that they desperately need.  See how easy it is to have a vegan Halloween with these yummy, popular candies and these seven animal rights–related costumes that will spread a compassionate message during the spookiest night of the year.  Now, thanks to Carly the cow, schoolchildren across the country have the opportunity to learn about the sophisticated emotional lives of cows, understand that cows have a lot in common with humans, and learn about healthy, calcium-packed nondairy foods such as almond and soy milk, beans, broccoli, kale, and figs. Watch the video, and then see how you, your family, and your friends can all make this simple, compassionate switch.  Experimenters put octopuses—whose mother had been kidnapped from the ocean—in beakers of water laced with the mood-altering drug MDMA, better known as "ecstasy." They cut into monkeys' skulls and restrained mice in tubes so tight that they couldn't turn around or move their limbs. They imprisoned owls in a basement laboratory and inserted electrodes into their brains. Tell the university to stop these cruel, pointless, and horrific experiments now.  Thinking of letting your cat go outside without you? Think again. Highly contagious feline diseases are common, as are broken bones, attacks by other animals or cruel humans, automobile accidents, and more.  Sport Chek knows what happens to coyotes and other animals in the fur industry but continues to sell fur-trimmed jackets, claiming that its fur is "ethically sourced." But there's nothing ethical about causing animals to suffer in steel-jaw traps before they're strangled, stomped on, or bludgeoned to death. Tell Sport Chek that you won't buy from the company until it stops selling fur. Urgent Action Needed |
