CALIFORNIA: Vote YES on Prop 2!
The Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, an initiative that will appear on California's November 2008 ballot.
It is cruel and inhumane to confine animals in cages so small they can’t turn around or stretch their limbs. All animals deserve humane treatment, including those raised for food.
This has already been passed in various other states.
Vote YES on Prop #2 to protect animals from unacceptable abuse.
I worked very hard along with hundreds of other hard working volunteers to get enough signatures to get this on the ballot (over 800,000 signers!) so please help get this passed.
It's NOT about taking your meat away, it IS about humane treatment while they are alive.
I know not all of you are in California, but you probably know someone that is, so PLEASE forward this information!
VOTE YES ON PROP 2!
Thank you- The Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, an initiative that will appear on California's November 2008 ballot. ... more -
Jane Goodall Proposes Nobel Prize for Alternatives to Animal Experimentation
Goodall, whose pioneering work with chimpanzees in the wild changed the face of ethology, said that curtailing and eventually eliminating animal research is a "goal towards which all civilized nations should be moving."
"As we move into the 21st century we need a new mindset," she told attendees of a symposium organized by animal rights groups and political leaders in the European Union. "We should admit that the infliction of suffering on beings who are capable of feeling is ethically problematic and that the amazing human brain should set to work to find new ways of testing and experimenting that will not involve the use of live, sentient beings."
In the mid-90s, the Foundation rejected a suggestion from former Vice President (and recent Nobel Prize winner) Al Gore that an award be added for contributions to environmentalism. Just as Gore's recommendation would elevate the status of environmentalism in the global community, Goodall's proposal to encourage alternatives to animal experimentation would raise awareness of and appreciation for the animal protection movement and all that it stands for. Goodall, whose pioneering work with chimpanzees in the wild changed the face of ethology, said that curtailing and eventually eliminat... more -
Cruelty-free stripping
Has your quest to chow down on heathy grub while watching pleather-clad ladies gyrate on a pole proven unsuccessful? Well, look no further horny vegans, the Casa Diablo Gentlemen’s Club in Portland, Oregan offers cruelty-free stripping. Cruelty-free for the animals at least. Casa Diablo serves vegan food and asks dancers to refrain from wearing fur, feathers, silk, wool and leather. The club hasn’t operated without controversy though, as some vegans and feminists complain that promoting animal rights in a sexist way brings attention to the cause for all the wrong reasons.

PETA and Jenna Jameson ask you to pleather yourself, but we go further
Porn star Jenna Jameson is PETA's latest cover girl. The retired adult actress donned a skimpy faux leather bra and panty set for the organization's latest ad to promote cruelty-free leather alternatives. But while pleather may have the approval of the People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals, it doesn’t get the vote from environmentalists, since the plastic leather substitute is manufactured from oil and is slow to biodegrade.
The Daily Mantra recommends you stick to organic cotton and hemp underwear, though those truly concerned with saving the planet may want to follow the lead taken by eco-warriors such as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, by doing away with undies altogether. Underwear-free living not only saves natural resources, but also reduces water and detergent consumption by cutting down the weekly laundry load.
To promote this animal and eco-friendly win-win option, The Daily Mantra is encouraging its readers to limit the use of intimate apparel to just four days a week. We're in the process of getting the folks from the CO2-busting website Carbon Rally to calculate the impact of such action on our carbon footprint, and our Carbon Rally teammates can expect more details of our "Save A Tree Go Undie Free" challenge shortly.
