Originally posted on December 25, 2008. Nothing has changed since then – life for non-humans continues to worsen … they’re starting to open up the sky they’re starting to reach down through and it feels like we’re living in that split-second of a car crash and time is slowing down and if we only had [...]

Honestly, I don’t get the whole Christmas consumerism thing. I don’t understand why any rational person would stand outside in the dark and cold for hours waiting for a store to open. They wait so they can buy stuff that will be discarded or sent to a landfill in about six months. All that energy, [...]

Maybe this post isn’t exactly what the organizers of Blog Action Day had in mind, but it’s the subject that’s on my mind … the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I grew up on the Gulf, my hometown sits on the west coast of Florida and my Dad lives about two miles [...]

Just this week I returned from a five-day visit to New Orleans. It’d been five years since my last visit and I was eager to see how the area was getting along. I traveled with a friend who’d never been to the Deep South so there were a few mandatory things we had to see [...]

I’m sure some of you will be surprised to learn that Jack Hanna is no friend to animals as we’ve seen him on countless TV programs pretending otherwise. But read on and learn more about his thinly-veiled facade of wildlife protector. As I’ve written here many times, you can’t protect wildlife if you still eat [...]

A really good round-up post by Karen Dawn for her DawnWatch media alert on the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, where I grew up in a small, coastal Florida town. This sickens me more than I can say without becoming profane. The biggest news for animals over the last week has been the BP [...]

Last summer I was made aware, by my friends who work in the leasing office of my apartment community, of plans for two new asphalt plants looking for county approval. These plants are about five or six miles from where I live. My friends asked me to contact the leaders of Bristow Opposition to find [...]

Y’all are aware by now of the horrendous amount of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. What we don’t know is just how much damage this man-made disaster will do to ecosystems, wildlife, and even humans. But I can tell you this, it’s going to make the Exxon-Valdez spill look like a day in [...]
