It’s a movie about, well, a zookeeper, played by Kevin James, who wins Rosario Dawson’s heart with the help of his animal charges. Well, presumably he wins her heart—what a bummer of a movie if not! Something else that … Read more »

Ah, Moe’s. Your Art Vandalay Burrito—a dee-lish medley of black beans, rice, pico de gallo, and guacamole—always ensures a “happy meal.” But you, McDonald’s, with that scary clown pimping your packages of abused and bruised chickens—you always ensure a very unhealthy, unhappy meal. For this week’s “Win It” Wednesday, we’re giving away 10 of PETA’s … Read more »
Late last year, one of PETA’s fieldworkers answered a request for a PETA dog house, and she spotted Buxton—then just 8 weeks old—hobbling down the road by himself. When she went to pick him up, he screamed in pain and wet himself. It turns out that his harness had become embedded and had caused deep … Read more »

As a result of budget slashes in Los Angeles, 15 fire trucks and six ambulances will be collecting dust instead of responding to emergencies. That news got our wheels turning. Faster than a team of strapping firemen could slide down a pole and hop into their non-decomissioned truck, we had an idea. PETA’s sexy “nurse” … Read more »

After much anticipation, the new music video for Modest Mouse’s “King Rat” was released this week—and it was worth the wait. The video, which was directed by Heath Ledger, is great not only for its artistry (I am always in favor of a touch of the Gilliam) but also for its message. It highlights cruel … Read more »
people / CC Doggone it, I knew there was a reason why I love Kyra Sedgwick. Oh, sure, she’s an outspoken dog rescuer and an amazing actor, and she’s married to hunky Sexiest Vegetarian Alive contender Kevin Bacon. But what really sent her into the hero stratosphere was this letter she sent to New … Read more »
