will-potter:
Utah is the latest state to consider new laws targeting undercover investigators who expose animal welfare abuses on factory farms. A new bill would make photographing animal abuse on par with assaulting a police officer. It has already passed committee.
Please REBLOG and let’s shut this down quickly.

This is what a genetically modified organism, or GMO, looks like. These so-called-chickens have been modified so that they do not grow feathers. “The birds, created at the Hebrew University in Israel, will not need to be plucked, saving money in processing plants”

The Abolitionist Approach to Veganism
vegspiration:
The abolitionist approach to animal rights maintains that all sentient beings, humans or nonhumans, have one right: the basic right not to be treated as the property of others.
Our recognition of the one basic right means that we must abolish—and not merely regulate—institutionalized animal exploitation, which assumes that animals are the property of humans.
We reject any campaign...

CareerBuilder: Stop using chimpanzees in Super... →
CareerBuilder is hurting chimpanzees, both captive and wild, with their irresponsible exploitation of chimps in their marketing campaigns over the years.
The Super Bowl ads are a sad testament to corporate insentience about our sentient cousins. “No chimps were beaten during the filming of this ad,” proclaims the company public relations person. No, of course not. That happens...

Step 1: Mother gives birth to baby.
Step 2: Baby takes his first steps. Mother nervously stares at human observers. She knows what’s coming. She’s seen it before.
Step 3: Less than 15 minutes after birth, the still-wet baby is taken from his mother.
Step 4: Mother is hooked onto mechanical milk suckers, so her baby’s nutrients can be fed to humans (thus significantly...

Protect California's Homeless Animals! →
In an attempt to reduce California’s deficit, Governor Brown has proposed a substantial weakening of the Hayden Act, including sections that require shelters to care for homeless and lost companion animals for up to six days before euthanizing them.

Senate supports Arnold’s bill that targets...
INDIANAPOLIS — The Senate approved a bill Thursday that would raise the penalty for attending an animal-fighting contest from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class D felony. State Sen. Jim Arnold, D-La Porte, authored Senate Bill 11, which aims to curtail animal-fighting contests by imposing greater penalties on spectators. The bill was approved with bipartisan support in the Senate by a 38-10...
How can you be against fur but not against leather...
pugnaciouspants:
Fur, leather and feathers are all forcibly taken from an animal that has no choice. The animal is forced to breed more of its kind in order to satisfy the ‘needs’ (wants) of humans. The animal is killed cruelly and its skin or protective covering removed just for jackets, earrings, wristbands, coats and other empty petty meaningless things.

I was invited to write this guest commentary for Jurist, the legal magazine. It’s fantastic that discussion of this dangerous legislation appearing in more and more circles. Please share!
Ten reasons to go vegan:
veganism-ftw:
1) Animal products are unnecessary.
2) What you eat is a learned habit.
3) Much healthier to avoid meat and dairy products.
4) Much more environmentally friendly to eat a vegan diet.
5) Feed more people on a plant diet than animal based one.
6) Using animals is incredibly cruel. Why force any pain?
7) Religion/ spiritual reasons “Thou shalt not kill.”
8) Saves money….
