Parents in Albany, New York are upset with the prominent animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals) for distributing “Unhappy Meals” to children exiting McDonald’s across the country.
The “Unhappy Meal” is a part of PETA’s McCruelty campaign, which is meant to warn children about the cruelty that PETA says is behind every Happy Meal. From animal cruelty to manipulating advertising that targets children, the charges that PETA is accusing McDonald’s of are expressed through this mock meal. According to Slashfood.com, PETA discontinued campaigns like the McCruelty one for the past nine years because it was working with McDonald’s behind the scene.
Each “Unhappy Meal” consists of an image of a knife wielding Ronald McDonald, pictures of mutilated chickens, a “blood” stained Happy Meal box and a complementary T-Shirt that reads “Chicken McCruelty.” A parent told a local news station that she felt what PETA was doing was unfair to children and young people shouldn’t be exposed to the messages that PETA is trying to get across.Parents in Albany, New York are upset with the prominent animal rights group PETA... more

What could possibly be wrong with children seeing how far they can chuck a dead bunny?
Lots, according to the RSPCA in New Zealand. The society has shut down a small rural town's yearly rabbit-lobbing competition after they got wind of it.
"Do you throw your dead grandmother around for a joke at her funeral?" asked animal cruelty inspector Charles Cadwallader.
Well, not for the whole thing but, you know...What could possibly be wrong with children seeing how far they can chuck a dead bunny?... more

FARMINGTON, Maine – A 65-year-old Maine woman was jailed for allegedly assaulting a state trooper with a stun gun during an investigation into whether she was hoarding animals at her house. The woman pleaded not guilty to multiple charges Thursday in Superior Court in Farmington. The woman was under a court order barring her from keeping animals after nearly 70 animals were found at her home in 2004 and she was convicted of animal cruelty.
According to an affidavit, the woman used the stun gun on Trooper Aaron Turcotte on Wednesday after he showed up at her house. He was not seriously hurt.
The Sun Journal of Lewiston said at least 40 domestic and farm animals — including a donkey, two alpacas and a potbellied pig — were seized the next day.FARMINGTON, Maine – A 65-year-old Maine woman was jailed for allegedly assaulting a... more

THANK YOU!
FACTS:
Cole Bros. Circus has failed to meet minimal federal standards for the care of animals used in exhibition as established by the Animal Welfare Act.
The USDA has repeatedly cited Cole Bros. for failure to provide veterinary care to animals, including elephants who have shown extreme weight loss, and failure to provide adequate space to animals.
The USDA filed formal charges of AWA violations against Cole Bros. because the elephants showed signs of being abused with sharp metal bull-hooks, a New Jersey humane society charged the circus with cruelty to animals for overloading and overworking an elephant, and two elephants—who were described as malnourished and neglected—died suddenly within a two-week period.
In five separate incidents, Cole Bros. elephants have killed two members of the public, injured more than a dozen others, and rampaged during performances, which caused tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

A Pennsylvania judge pondered a very unusual question during a ruling issued Monday: When a former police officer stuck his male member in the mouths of five baby cows, did they enjoy "suckling" it, or were they merely "puzzled"?
"During a bizarre hearing there yesterday, a Superior Court judge dismissed animal-cruelty charges against a Moorestown police officer accused of sticking his penis into the mouths of five calves in rural Southampton in 2006, claiming a grand jury couldn't infer whether the cows had been 'tormented' or 'puzzled' by the situation or even irritated that they'd been duped out of a meal," reported Jason Nark with the Philadelphia Daily News.
Weighing the case, Judge James J. Morley reportedly asked: "If the cow had the cognitive ability to form thought and speak, would it say, 'Where's the milk? I'm not getting any milk'?"
Equating the act of putting a penis in the mouth of a cow with a human baby suckling on a pacifier, the judge reportedly added: "They [children] enjoy the act of suckling. Cows may be of a different disposition."
The strained logic of such questions eventually led the judge to waive charges of animal cruelty against Robert Melia, a suspended officer with the Moorestown Police Department.A Pennsylvania judge pondered a very unusual question during a ruling issued Monday:... more

Each day, hundreds of thousands of stray and unwanted dogs are born around the world. How society should care for these homeless animals -- many of whom end up at animal shelters -- is a controversial topic with significant humanitarian and public health implications.
At one rural animal shelter in upstate New York, founder Sue Sternberg and her staff respond to this crisis -- one animal at a time. As a seemingly endless stream of homeless dogs arrives at their doorstep, Sternberg and her staff navigate a world in which there are no simple solutions, and where decisions are often of a life-and-death nature.
The award-winning and moving documentary 'Shelter Dogs', airing as part of this Link special, reminds us that dogs do not control their own destinies, and that we humans, who do hold control, can either acknowledge or ignore the opportunity to do right by them.Each day, hundreds of thousands of stray and unwanted dogs are born around the world.... more

On Friday morning, a volunteer walking a dog down the drive to Animal Haven saw something rustling in the leaves and dirt. At first glance, you could hardly tell it was a dog. Matted so severely, its head could not be discerned from the rest of its body. Mattes covered both eyes. A terrible stench came from the maggots in an open wound on one leg. Unable to see or walk normally this dog had been tied to a tree and abandoned by his owner outside the gates of the shelter.On Friday morning, a volunteer walking a dog down the drive to Animal Haven saw... more

September heralds the six-month dolphin-hunting season in Taiji, a small seaside town in Japan's southwestern Wakayama prefecture. And residents are sensing the attack on them has also begun.
The Cove — a U.S. documentary with the air of a spy thriller that has been called "advocacy filmmaking at its best" since its release on July 31 — depicts Taiji's centuries-old tradition of killing dolphins with an unflinching eye on the sometimes gruesome process.
The documentarians, led by photographer turned director Louie Psihoyos and dolphin trainer turned activist Richard O'Barry, have stirred both international outcry and acclaim at film festivals from Sundance to Seattle with their footage of the slaughter that takes place every year in a remote cove in Taiji.
Earlier this week, the town decided to release 70 of the roughly 100 dolphins from the previous week's catch. But Taiji fishermen aren't the only ones bowing to international pressure.
Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) chairman Tom Yoda announced on Sept. 16 that the festival will screen the film, after previously rejecting it for TIFF's official selection (the festival starts next month).
Having come under fire for initially rejecting the documentary, Yoda said the reasons for rejecting or accepting films aren't generally discussed, as the festival receives more than 700 entries each year.
No film festival has a moral obligation to accept a film, but TIFF's slogan of "Action! For Earth" raised more than a few eyebrows when the widely lauded eco-documentary didn't make the cut. In the end, Yoda said, the festival "decided to take The Cove due to international attention worldwide."
The Cove casts Taiji's dolphin hunt as one town's dirty secret...the reality, however, is that Japan culls about 20,000 dolphins across the nation every year. To those in Taiji and other areas where dolphin hunting is permitted, the global reaction to The Cove has a whiff of the enduringly contentious whaling debate (Japan has hunted whales in the name of "SCIENCE" for decades despite environmentalists' ire).
The new wave of criticism of dolphin hunting that has been spurred by the film has many fishermen and local bureaucrats rolling their eyes over what they interpret as a another bout of foreign outrage at a practice that is legal, regulated and culturally acceptable in Japan, where dolphin meat — like whale — is eaten in the regions where it's hunted.September heralds the six-month dolphin-hunting season in Taiji, a small seaside town... more

I received this email today that had a very disturbing message and photographs about an annual event that takes place in Denmark. The pictures speak volumes. Sorry about the video, its in Spanish. But I have translated the message from the email and am posting the individual pictures that I received in the email. The message said to post this everywhere so I immediately thought about Current. If anybody could get behind an issue, the Current Community would rally to the cause and do whatever it takes to make it known that this is not acceptable behavior towards animals in the name of "Masculine right of passage" rituality.
The text of the message:
The sea is dyed of red, but not it must to a climatic effect of the nature they cheken this! It must to the cruelty with which the human beings (to be civilized) kill hundreds of the famous and inteligentísimos Dolphins calderones. All this happens year after year in the Feroe island in Denmark, in this massacre participate mainly young Because? …. In order to demonstrate that these same young people already have arrived at “an adult” age maturity. To this celebration regularly nobody lack not to lose “the diversion”. All participate in a way or another one, killing or seeing the cruelty “supporting it like spectator”. It is possible to mention that the dolphin calderon, like almost all the other species of dolphins, approaches the man To interact and to play solely with like friendship gesture.

They do not die right away, are penetrated both you see with sharp hooks, in those Moments the dolphin produces sounds so similar to babies crying! …. But it suffers and there is no compassion until this docile one to be bleeds slowly and suffers by tremendous hurt until fighting themselves and dying in its own blood. Finally these heroes of the island, now either are adult reasonable right facts and, or have demonstrated their maturity! He is already enough! .......
