Christmas 2011

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 [...]

If You Must Shop at Christmas, Do Some Good

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, [...]

Blog Action Day 2010 – Water

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 [...]

Animal Stories Featured in Friday’s News

This DawnWatch Alert features two stories aired on mainstream media last Friday night.

Jack Hanna Misinforms Anderson Cooper On BP Gulf Clean-up

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 [...]

DawnWatch: BP Oil Disaster

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 [...]

My God, What Have We Done?

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 [...]

Earth Day Rally for the Whales

UPDATE: IFAW’s video of the rally and lobbying Today, to celebrate Earth Day, I attended IFAW’s Rally for the Whales. It’s especially important on this 40th anniversary of Earth Day to draw attention to whale hunting because the Obama Administration plans to announce the lifting of the ban on commercial whaling. Today. Earth Day. During [...]
