In addition to being an icon of the adult film world Jenna Jameson is also an entrepreneur, a model, and oh yeah, she also happens to be a good friend to PETA. Jenna first got involved in animal rights after watching Earthlings a year or so ago, and we could’t be happier to have her … Read more »
Three dogfighters knocked out of the ring (or should that be pit) early! Two more of Michael Vick’s alleged accomplices entered guilty pleas in Richmond today, and there is no doubt that Michael Vick is huddled with his attorneys, deciding whether or not he will follow suit early next week. According to The Houston Chronicle, … Read more »
For those who don’t know, I am a big Peter Dinklage fan. He won me over in The Station Agent (if you haven’t seen this, add it to your Netflix list pronto, seriously) a few years ago and I’ve been keeping up with his career ever since. So I was glad to see him getting … Read more »
In a horribly misguided attempt to teach Palestinian kids not to abuse animals, a show called Tomorrow’s Pioneers on Hamas’ Al Aqsa TV just featured a costumed “bee” named Nahoul tormenting animals. I watched the video (which I’m purposely not linking to), and I’m sorry, but showing a giant bee swinging cats by their tails … Read more »

As if I needed another reminder of how disgusting meat is, my pal Joel Bartlett sent me this. It’s called the Stinky Meat Project and basically, this guy puts some raw meat on a plate, puts it out in the sun for a couple of weeks and records the results with a daily photo. Think … Read more »
Funny-Cats/Creative Commons There was a really interesting article in The International Herald Tribune last week, which indirectly addressed a comment that I’ve heard surprisingly often since I started working in animal protection: “Animals don’t have souls.” I’ve never personally considered the question relevant to my work, since the only thing that matters to me is … Read more »
Our counterparts in India just sent me these pics from a stunning photo shoot starring Indian supermodel Malaika Arora Khan. Malaika’s outfit was created by fashion designer Wendell Rodricks to depict a white macaw, and her ad is part of PETA India’s ongoing campaign to draw attention to the horrific conditions for the wild birds … Read more »
X17/Creative Commons Generally, I would rather write about the paint drying outside our office than add another chapter to the increasingly tedious melodrama that is Britney Spears’ biography, but when she does something stupid and irresponsible that involves animals (which is pretty much every time I check nowadays), I feel like I have to report … Read more »
Michael Moore on the animal rights movement: “This shit makes me want to kick my dog” Phew. I spent a lot of time this weekend reviewing the hundreds of comments on Friday’s Michael Moore blog, and they’re still coming in! It’s pretty clear that this letter brought out some strong reactions in people—both positive and … Read more »

Like most serious Redskins fans, I have sworn a solemn oath never to say something nice about a Dallas Cowboy, which—as you can imagine—makes this extremely difficult for me. But the unavoidable fact of the matter is that PETA is giving a much-deserved award to Leonard Davis, a Cowboys offensive lineman who went out of … Read more »
Turns out we have this great kanga costume, which came in really handy in California on Thursday when our Skins Campaign Coordinator Melissa Karpel and six activists (including Rory Friedman, the author of Skinny Bitch) took to the streets to protest the anti-kangaroo bill SB 880, which seeks to make the sale of kanga skins … Read more »
Here’s another classic for you, from a few years back. I’ve often heard people make the point that no one would wear fur if they were able to see that draping yourself in dead babies is barbaric, regardless of the species. Of course, only at PETA can you make that point in a meeting and … Read more »
Your weekly installment of things I’ve found even slightly funny or interesting on the internet. Here we go . . . If you know what “counting the omer” is, then you will love this veggie take on the Jewish tradition. I know it’s a little creepy, but my friend Marta absolutely worships Zach Braff, and … Read more »
