In a world starved for more protein sources, the meat industry gets its fill from almost anywhere. People across the world eat some strange things, from cockroaches and frogs to dogs and horses. I would never consider eating horse meat! The idea of horses for human consumption is reprehensible to me. These animals are capable […]
Planet Earth is a beautiful place. It’s full of wild animals, fantastic fauna, and a breathtaking landscape. And then, there’s us. Humans–modern hunters. While many generous people roam this planet and sacrifice for the betterment of humankind and game animals, we can’t stop ourselves from wiping out wildlife species. Hunting groups hunt wildlife to extinction; […]
Animal factory farms! It’s certainly not something you want to think about as you reach out and grab that well-known brand of chicken fillet or beef steaks out of the chiller at your local grocery store. In fact, meat suppliers are banking on you not questioning too closely as to how that product came about. […]
In the distant future, perhaps we’ll look back on this moment and ask ourselves, “What on Earth were we thinking?” Then, we’ll sit back with our mouths open, speechless from shock at the footage of chickens slaughtered for human consumption. And it’s not a one-off event either. We eat and consume approximately 9 billion chickens […]

Every year, millions of animals locked away in cages in research laboratories scattered throughout the world are the victims of cosmetic companies.

Personally, I feel bullfighting to be a horrific form of animal cruelty. Therefore, I have never and will never attend a bullfight. At […]
It’s hard to imagine, as an intelligent species, we’re still discussing animal experimentation. There’s no doubt that animal testing is to the apparent benefit of people. However, that doesn’t make it right that over 100 million innocent animals suffer for our well-being. Animal experimentation needs to end. It’s not a question of right or wrong. […]
Many people believe betting on Greyhound dog races is a bit of harmless fun. After all, sleek Greyhounds reach up to 45 mph while chasing rabbits in a circle. The truth is, it isn’t fun for the thousands of dogs killed. Some get killed because they aren’t fast enough. Many Greyhounds suffer injuries, broken legs, […]
If you want to start an argument, then begin a conversation about banning specific dog breeds. Pit bull is a catchall term for dogs who’ve unwittingly become the poster child for bad dogs. They’re often the instigators of these heated debates that center around BSL. Breed-specific legislation, or BSL, is an umbrella law that tries […]
The mirror is an excellent place to look if you’ve ever thought about animal testing. The American Beauty & Personal Grooming market amounts to over $ 91.41 billion. Some people mistakenly assume cosmetic testing means putting lipstick or mascara on a rabbit. Not true! Those numbers have a dark side. They represent millions of test animals […]
