This is a really good DawnWatch Alert detailing the lack of coverage in the U.S. about the connection between factory farms and swine flu. Thanks, Karen!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I am tracking to see which media outlets will report the truth about swine flu, i.e., its causal links to intensive hog farming operations. Certainly you won’t likely read about it in many, or possibly any, mainstream city newspapers. A couple of good articles came out of Grist [...]

I do not support animal testing for any reason. Since every OTC pharmaceutical and nearly all prescription drugs are tested on animals or contain animal ingredients, I don’t take them. There are natural remedies that work just as well and are cruelty free. Besides, there’s almost no ache or pain my chiropractor can’t cure with [...]

“One might as well argue that because Canada used to hang convicted murderers by the neck until they were dead the tradition should not be allowed to disappear. Sealing in Canada is not a tradition, it is just an unenlightened, outdated practice.” — J.M. Coetzee, Interview from March 2008 On the eve of the Canadian [...]

I want to stop blogging about the annual, government-subsidized Canadian slaughter of baby harp seals. I want it to be over – forever. I want the Canadian government and the people of Newfoundland to wake up and smell the blood sport and put an end to the brutality. Wayne Pacelle of HSUS and Captain Paul [...]
