Help stop the latest assault on wild horses - the scheduled removal of 2,500 wild horses from Calico Mountain Complex. These horses will very likely wind up at slaughter or stuck in corrals for life. Help them remain free! Comment NOW!

Yet another study demonstrating how smart and aware pigs are, yet we still treat them like commodities with no feelings or intelligence. How the hell do humans justify this dichotomy??

Cruel factory farms use antibiotics daily to keep animals kept in unhealthy conditions from getting sick before slaughter. This is cruel to them and dangerous for us because superbugs are being created that antibiotics won't stop. Put an end to both now!

The reality of pet ownership and our throwaway society. Excruciatingly pathetic, yet we hear these excuses every single day. Would you throw away your child? We have just as much responsibility to our pet companions as to a child. How could you do this?

Wonderful story on exactly why puppy mills need to be stopped. But these cute, resiliant dogs just keep on loving humans....why is that? ADOPT FROM SHELTERS and spay/neuter your animals.

A substantial fund of EUR50 million (US$74 million) is being offered to European research teams to develop alternatives to animal testing for cosmetics and related industries. Seems the EU is once again way ahead of the US in humane practices! Wise up US!

Media consolidation is to blame for the decline in the quality and quantity of local news, the death of true investigative journalism and the plethora of right wing radio shows poisoning our airwaves. 5 huge corporations own roughly 90% of stations. FIGHT

If the FCC and big Internet providers have their way, we'll all be paying more for the Internet AND we won't always be able to send or receive what we want. Do we want Microsoft, Verizon, AOL or anyone else telling us what to do or charging us more? NO!!

Corporate agribusiness is trying to write itself into the Ohio constitution- and if it succeeds there, you can be sure that this greedy play will be made in other states. This could radically shift policy away from small, local farms to big factory farms.
