They were interviewing journalist Thomas French, and he has a series about zoos that you can find below: http://www.sptimes.com/2007/webspecials07/special_reports/zoo/ You can also get the podcasts on iTunes Talk of the Nation (01-14-2008). Anyway, some of the issues brought up in the piece (in no particular order): -how animals often suffer due to lack of real, natural habitat, and not enough space. -how animals lose their freedom -how zoo keepers pasionately care about the animals -how the natural space that the animals would nor…

I'm posting this in multiple sections because of the Wednesday, January 17th deadline to take action. I just found out about it from my friend Nettie, who some of you know. Here's the info: Help Stop Abuse of Animals in OHSU's Laboratories After six years of trying to get OHSU to respond to IDA's and the public's concerns about inhumane animal care in its research laboratories, we have an unprecedented opportunity to see positive changes for the animals! But your help is urgently needed! In a meeting on December 21, 2006, before the OHSU Animal Care SubCommittee, IDA presented two intense hours of non-stop video footage docum…

Then I saw the trailer and I was pretty impressed despite the fact that no whales fought one another. Much more sadly and less whimsically, it's ...

Repeal the AETA Joseph Buddenberg, Maryam Khajavi, Nathan Pope and Adriana Stumpo (the AETA 4) were indicted for conspiracy to commit animal enterprise terrorism. Charges against the AETA 4 include protesting, chalking the sidewalk, chanting and leafleting –, and the alleged use of “the Internet to find information on bio-medical researchers.” These actions are clearly and traditionally protected by the First Amendment. The Department of Justice brazenly calls these young activists “terrorists” under the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA). Passed by Congress near the end of the Bush administration, the AETA aims to suppress speech and advocacy by criminalizing activ…

Free Screenings of Earthlings Set for Nov. 2 in Hollywood & Nov. 8 at PSU Earthlings will be shown twice in November, thanks to the combined efforts of Northwest VEG, Food Fight Grocery, In Defense of Animals, Food for Thought Cafe, and others. The documentary is about humanity's dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research). With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, Earthlings uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-d…

The old imperial London zoo in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia is poisoning rare lion cubs and selling their corpses to taxidermists for $170 each, where they are stuffed and sold as decorations. Please sign this petitionand show that you condemn these horrible actions and want this practice to stop. Just to be clear, I'm not too crazy about zoos and wish that animals in captivity could be sent to sanctuaries. While sadly this isn't a petition to release them from their prisons, this is a petition to stop them being murdered.
