Ag-gag claims its first human victim! »
That’s the headline from The Salt Lake Tribune yesterday. I haven’t had time (stupid real job) to investigate the situation in detail but we got this tip today and I just wanted to get it up as soon as possible.
Email from reader Sarah S.:
I am sure you are now aware of Amy Meyer’s prosecution in Utah.
Anyway, she is so sweet and wonderful that the only request she has made of her supporters is this (from her Facebook page):
“Thank you so much for all the supportive messages! A lot of people are concerned about my defense funds. I have them covered and have amazing lawyers representing me. If you would like to help, the only thing I would ask is you help the animals at Ching Farm Rescue and Sanctuary by helping us meet our Hay Day Fundraiser goal. I started this fundraiser, and if we could make the remaining $1630 my spirits would be in good shape!”
We should all follow this story as it progresses, though I hope it goes no further.
SUPER FAST UPDATE!: RadioWaves tells us the charges have been dropped! Huzzah! We must continue the fight though, as I fear this won’t be the last we see of ag-gag.

Hypothetically, let’s say you’re on a planet where meat causes environmental devastation. »
So we all loved that Buzzfeed list yesterday on 19 signs you’ve been vegan too long, but I especially loved #16, pictured above. All vegans get this question, I got this last week from the office tech guy. But I’ve been thinking about it more since I saw this picture yesterday and I have a new genius idea! The next time someone asks me if I would eat meat on a deserted island or whatever, I will say this!:
I will answer that question, but answer this one for me first: Let’s say you’re on an isolated planet on the brink of environmental disaster. What if people had the power to vastly improve the state of environmental destruction just by not eating meat, what would you do?
And that is my genius idea for today. If you get a chance to do this, let me know the outcome. I will do the same as soon as I get the deserted island question. Which should be any moment now.

Fashion Loves Animals Gala is almost here! »
On May 4th, a.k.a. this Saturday, Farm Sanctuary is honoring the wonderfully talented and dedicatedly vegan Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart of Vaute Couture! I can’t think of a better honoree or a better organization to be honored by. I hope there are goats there! OMG if there are goats there I will die and go to heaven and leave all my worldly riches to goats.

Bleat: coming soon. I don’t know what you call it, maybe “a vegan resource” is the best option. Looks interesting/promising, no? I like that they say vegan “lifestyle” instead of “diet.” Thoughts? Do we need a site like this? The promise of a hotel guide is intriguing to me. I do love hotels!

Mob in Bulgaria attacks disabled dog »
This is so upsetting. What kind of person attacks an injured dog? It looks like he can’t even get away like the other dogs did. He’s just out there defenseless. We HAVE to help put pressure on the Bulgarian police. This is so effed up. Help Borko!

It’s a Fresh Prince parody about dog adoption. That’s it. All my dreams have been realized. I have nothing left to live for. Donuts, I think I’ll miss you most of all.

The bloodshed of the 2013 Canadian commercial seal hunt has begun »
Animated video from Humane Society International. It’s a cartoon, so it’s not graphic, but I’ll be damned if I’m not tearing up. That song!
It’s begun. The first seal of the 2013 Canadian commercial seal hunt was killed earlier today, according to the Humane Society. We’ve written a lot on the seal hunt in the past, so I don’t really have anything new to say. Sorry.
