Featured  Character Arts—the company that manages the rights to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer—continues to partner with the horror that is SeaWorld. Please urge it to end its partnership with the abusement park—which forces marine animals to languish in tiny barren tanks until they die and, despite ending its reckless orca-breeding program, continues to breed other dolphins and whales.  These companies are among the more than 340 brands worldwide—including Ralph Lauren, Diane von Furstenberg, AllSaints, and Crate&Barrel—that have banned mohair, which comes from angora goats who endure a violent shearing process and are killed in gruesome ways.  Terrified dogs are being skinned for fashion accessories.  How would you react if this happened to your best friend?  An experimenter at Johns Hopkins University is tormenting barn owls in the school's basement laboratory, and it's all being funded with U.S. tax dollars.  In a stunning new ad, Penélope Cruz takes a stand for animals who are snared in steel traps, beaten, gassed, poisoned, electrocuted, and skinned alive for their fur. Join her in speaking out about the cruel fashion industry and choosing vegan clothing.  Take a look at what you and PETA—together—achieved for animals in just one month.  Words matter, and as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves with it. When we start to use animal-friendly language and more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are, phrases that trivialize cruelty to animals will vanish. Check out our viral sensation of the week, and keep spreading the word by sharing these idioms on your own Facebook and Twitter accounts.  Comedian Carol Leifer shows us how to make vegan Jewish recipes, use menorah candles that don't hurt bees, play games that teach compassion toward animals, and more.  In its Fresh Market stores, the restaurant and grocery chain Braum's sells eggs obtained from a massive operation that confines nearly a million hens in miserable conditions. PETA has captured video footage showing that live chickens were left in manure pits amid the corpses of other birds and piles of waste up to 5 feet high and that thousands of "spent" hens were slammed against metal boxes, stuffed into the boxes by the dozens, and crudely gassed with carbon dioxide before being dumped, often still alive, into trucks.
