Featured  An experimenter restrained fully conscious owls for up to 12 hours while poking at neurons in their brains. These studies offer no insight into human attention deficit disorder, and even if they did, they're still too cruel to be allowed. Urge the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to redirect funds to modern, superior, non-animal research methods immediately.  Animal flesh is not "humane meat." After learning from PETA that animals on so-called "humane" farms are often tightly confined, mutilated, and slaughtered while still conscious, grocery chain Hy-Vee—which operates 245 stores in eight states—has removed the word "humane" from its meat marketing materials. Sign PETA's petition urging Whole Foods to do the same.  Did you know that on average, one in 10 companies will match their employee donations? Some companies will also match the donations of spouses, retirees, or volunteers. Find out if your employer has a matching-gift program.  Blick Art Materials and Morphe are still selling badger-hair brushes, despite knowing that badgers are confined to small cages and beaten and that their throats are slit so that humans can use their hair.  "What dictionary does Cornell use?" Bill Maher writes. "I ask because when I was an undergrad there, 'sanctuary' meant 'a place of refuge or safety.'" Join him in asking Cornell University not to allow deer to be hunted, which could cause many to endure slow, agonizing deaths.  Sentient beings are stacked on top of one another on Petco's shelves in tiny plastic cups with only a couple inches of water. This cruelty is unacceptable—the company needs to end the sale of betta fish now.  After PETA contacted Air Canada and more than 113,000 concerned residents e-mailed the company on our behalf, it responded by quietly removing SeaWorld tickets from its website. Thanks to everyone who took action to help make this victory possible! Now, urge Sunwing Travel Group to sever ties with SeaWorld as well.  Halloween may be over, but the fright continues for animals in slaughterhouses. Here's what the animal-agriculture industry doesn't want you to see.
