Push Michael Kors To Go Fur Free
Designer and Project Runway star Michael Kors recently pacified representatives from the Humane Society of the US by agreeing to stop using raccoon dog fur in his clothing lines.

Dairy Council Issues a ‘Takeback’ on Weight Loss Ads
Because milk doesn’t actually help you lose weight, which makes the ads (“Milk your diet. Lose weight!) just a teensy bit misleading. Here’s how it went down, according to The New York Times: The ads, which were overseen by our old friends the USDA (whom you may remember from such hijinx as failing to enforce… Read more »
Even Soybeans Have Dreams

David and Victoria Beckham and Kangaroos
You’ve probably heard about the horrible piece of legislation currently under consideration in California that, if passed, will make it legal to sell products made of kangaroo skins there. There has already been a huge public outcry against the bill, but just in case Cali lawmakers need another reason to kill it, here ya go.… Read more »
New “Test Tube” Cancer Model Could Reduce Animal Testing
Have you heard about this? It’s a pretty amazing story out of the UK about researchers at Queen Mary’s School of Medicine in London, who developed a unique three-dimensional model of human breast cancer in a test tube.

Gordon Ramsay’s Latest Stunt Is a Pile of Crap
For those of you who haven’t heard of him, Gordon Ramsay runs a restaurant and hosts a TV show in England, where celebrity chefs are worshipped as a form of minor deity.

Another KFC Supplier of the Year Caught in the Act
You may remember that we kicked off our KFC Campaign a few years ago after an undercover investigator at a KFC Supplier of the Year in Moorefield, West Virginia, discovered workers throwing live birds against walls, kicking them like soccer balls, and spitting tobacco juice into their eyes. Well, one of our investigators just returned… Read more »
Getting Naked, Princeton-Style
What do you do when you have more naked activists than life-size, cellophane-wrapped meat trays? Double up. At least that was how they handled it at Princeton University yesterday, to striking effect.

Peter Dinklage’s New Video
I was pretty much blown away by The Station Agent when that movie came out a couple of years ago, and I’ve been a fan of the movie’s star, Peter Dinklage, ever since. Peter went on to have a recurring role in Nip/Tuck, and he’s also landed the part of Trumpkin in the next Narnia… Read more »
Brief Message From a Chicken
A little while back, I wrote about the worldwide competition that the Young Guns ad agency held for people in the advertising industry to make a new PETA PSA. The official winner of that contest was “Your Parents Do It: Don’t Block It Out”, a brilliant idea put together by the BBDO Agency in Montréal.… Read more »

Finally. This project has been in the works for longer than I care to admit, and it’s incredibly exciting for me to see the beautiful, beautiful final product.

Yo Quiero Taco Bell
So I walked into my local Taco Bell today, psyched to order my usual lunch, the always delicious and satisfying combo of a bean and rice burrito and a beef and potato burrito (substitute beans for beef and salsa for sour cream).
