Investigation Reveals the High Cost of Costco Veal

Filed Under: Health, New
Aug.31, 2010

Mercy for Animals, the organization that brought you the undercover footage of sadistic animal abuse at Conklin Dairy Farm, has released their latest investigation. This time, they went undercover to Buckeye Veal Farm in Apple Creek, Ohio.

The fact that veal is cruel cuisine shouldn’t come as a surprise. If, for some reason, you’ve been eating it with no idea what it is, veal is baby cow. The pale color that chefs and gourmands love so much? That comes from deliberately inducing anemia and weakness, which is done by taking the calves from their mothers (a.k.a. dairy cows, like those at Conklin) and shoving them into crates to ensure that they have an unhealthy existence with as little exercise as possible. In other words, it’s flesh from a sick animal.

That’s what Mercy for Animals found at Buckeye Veal Farm, a Costco supplier. In the video (below), narrated by Bob Barker, the veal crates you see are typical.

Let us protect animals from cruelty

Filed Under: New
Aug.29, 2010

With the noise that is the background of our lives, can we no longer hear
a small yelp of pain or a plaintive meow? They are there, you just need to listen. Pledge NOT to look the other way when you see animal abuse, even in your neighbor’s backyard. Report it, then be willing to be cooperative in it’s prosecution. Stop those who find their pleasure in the pain of animals. Support harsher sentences and stiffer fines for animal abusers. Demand that ISP%u2019s be held responsible for the images on their sites. Animal torture should not be considered entertainment and all information should be freely turned over to the police to assist in the arrest of those that engage in it.

We would like to ask all of you to help us, to obtain justice for the dogs that were tortured and killed, by four teenagers in Tepic, Mexico. They showed the world how cruel humans can be to innocent creatures.
They received very light penalties. We would like to ask the Mexican leaders of animal protection to change that. Not only in this case but in all cases of cruelty involving pain toward animals, we would like to see longer punishments, including jail time, and higher fines!

We are sending this petition to the Mexican government. To get these four cruel teens and to ask them not to look the other way when abuse happens again.
Please help us call attention to such a painful subject by adding your voice to ours and signing this petition!

A Stampede of Animal Abuse in Calgary

Filed Under: New
Jul.09, 2010

Yee-haw! Today marks the start of the one of North America’s oldest and largest celebrations of smacking animals around: the Calgary Stampede.

This event, which takes place in Alberta, is expected to draw over one million visitors, including Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper. What are these people flocking to watch? According to Calvary Stampede spokesperson Doug Fraser, 25,000 come to specifically watch calf roping. Calf roping is accurately described by SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) as “the most cowardly rodeo event.” This faux sport consists of macho cowboys roping baby cows that are usually about three or four months old. As the folks at SHARK explain, “the calf is roped so violently she becomes airborne before slamming into the ground. This process can break the calf’s neck, back or legs.”

Other intellectually stimulating highlights include steer wrestling and bronc riding. No word as to whether or not electric prods will be used for the latter event. There’s also chuckwagon racing, which has the dubious honor of being the Stampede’s deadliest event. According to the Vancouver Humane Society, nearly 50 chuckwagon horses have been killed at the Calgary Stampede since 1986, mainly due to crashes and the stress of the 10 day extravaganza.

Ban New Offshore Drilling

Filed Under: New
May.07, 2010

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico.

Now, an oil spill on pace to be worse than Exxon Valdez is pumping at least 5,000 barrels of oil a day — that’s over 200,000 gallons — into the biologically diverse and commercially productive Gulf of Mexico.

Thousands of sea birds, dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and other animals are threatened by the ever growing plume of toxic sludge.

As the massive oil spill continues to grow, it exposes the dangers of offshore drilling. We need to send a message to President Obama and your senators to ban new offshore drilling and support clean energy alternatives.


Offshore drilling will NEVER be safe. Sign the petition to end new offshore drilling now.

Ban New Offshore Drilling
