We were so excited to hear back from Jerry House, the Whitefish schools Superintendent. Superintendent House announced that … Read more »
knoxnews / CC OK. So I really love The Cosby Show. The deadpan humor, family melodrama, and Bill Cosby’s tacky sweaters—how could you not? So when I found out that Bill Cosby will be performing at KFC’s upcoming annual Convention Gala, I was heartbroken. PETA reached out to Bill and let him know that more … Read more »
Australian wool farmers are very fond of the myth that the mulesing mutilation (cutting the rump flesh off completely conscious lambs) is the most effective way to prevent flystrike, but we know it’s only done because it’s cheaper than more humane methods of controlling the affliction. These photos, recently taken on a paddock in Victoria, … Read more »
It’s no secret that sea kittens stay in their schools far longer than humans do. That’s why it struck us as odd that Whitefish High School in Montana has failed to stay up to date with the Sea Kitten Revolution. So we wrote to them, tongue-in-cheek (which is better than hook-through-lip), to ask them to … Read more »

farm2 / CC Ah, the Palins. One endless reservoir of public mishaps and cavalier insensitivity toward animals. They provide all the cathartic benefits of reality TV, minus the guilt of feeling shallow, since it’s on CNN. Well, in an effort to help safeguard the innocence of youth against merciless animal slaughter, we’ve sent the newest … Read more »
So we all knew that KFC has some trashy practices, but did you know just how disgusting they can be? Recently, a delivery person recorded a KFC employee in Hong Kong picking fried chicken out of a trash can, putting it on a tray, and serving it to customers. While this might be shocking to … Read more »
treehugger / CC While hope and optimism have struck a chord with humans for the New Year, it couldn’t have started off worse for Amazon parrots.

Intentionally breeding dogs for their looks while millions are dying for lack of good homes in extremely crowded shelters? The American Kennel Club just doesn’t get it.

So, being the smart and fab lady she … Read more »
Our sexy leopard ladies recently hit the ice in San Francisco to remind fellow winter-lovers to “bare skin, don’t wear skin.” They suited up in spots, shed their clothes, and spread the compassionate cruelty-free message. But ya know how some people just can’t handle the heat (er … ice)? Well rink security quickly … Read more »

But really, who doesn’t enjoy a quick bit of knowledge delivered in a no-frills, straight-to-the-point, no-expectations kind of way? Our wandering eyes recently happened upon one list that really struck our fancy—or, shall I say, our stomachs. That is, … Read more »
