Yes, HBO’s I Am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA was insightful, well-made, and powerful. I’ll admit that. But WTF, HBO? Didn’t you forget something kind of important? Did all those times I found an excuse to walk by the cameras when you were filming in the office mean nothing to you? … Read more »

I haven’t done one of these in a long time, but I’ve been getting so many great links lately that I thought I’d bring it back. Also, to be honest, I’m still recovering from yesterday’s tragic events, and I could use a little light relief. So here you go: The very best that the Internet … Read more »

Following another outbreak of bird flu in Suffolk, 22,000 turkeys in four different sites were killed last week as a precaution to try and prevent the spread of the disease. The spread of bird flu, which is proving to be a very serious threat to the poultry industry and to humans who eat birds, is … Read more »

I posted yesterday about two “scientists” at the Oregon National Primate Research Center who have squandered tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on hideously cruel experiments that achieve nothing more than reaffirming painfully obvious truths such as that children suffer when they are deprived of maternal affection.

The folks at the Hamptons International Film Festival just announced that “I Am an Animal,” the forthcoming documentary about PETA and Ingrid Newkirk, has been named Best Documentary! It’s not actually coming out on HBO until next month — and I haven’t seen it, so I can’t tell you all that much about it — … Read more »

Hey, I didn’t write the title for this post, so don’t take it out on me. It’s actually a reference to a feature that appeared in everyone’s favorite quarterly publication, Animal Times, this fall. And I thought it was pretty damn cute. For most of the regular commenters, this quiz isn’t mandatory—feel free to just … Read more »

We got an e-mail the other week from a student named Christopher Leeman, who had taken the time to create these unique web banners to help promote our wool, fur, and leather campaigns. I liked them so much that I figured I’d post them on the blog (with Christopher’s generous permission) for anyone who’s looking … Read more »

This week’s Deflocked is one of my favorites so far. I’ve never understood how companies that sell meat products can use images of happy, smiling animals in their packaging and marketing materials. You’d think they’d want to avoid conjuring up images of cute chickens frolicking and generally having a nice time when they’re trying to … Read more »

Harry Potter author JK Rowling just adopted a rescued greyhound* from a small rescue center in Scotland. Apparently, the author was totally low-key when she showed up at the center with her family, including their dog Butch, and made the rounds looking for the right dog to adopt. After falling in love with a dog … Read more »
