The war against the carriage horses in New York has faltered, for
now, it is far from over. Everywhere, the animals are under siege, they
are trying to take them away from us, they are persecuting us for
loving and working with them. We see in the long and brutal campaign to
ban the horses that money does not innoculate Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326607387289297148.post-70597654833958967252015-08-09T17:59:00.001-04:002015-08-09T17:59:30.629-04:00When Does Animal Rights Activism Become Extremism? By Jeremy Lybarger

This weekend, HumaneWatch bravely waded into
the belly of the beast: We attended the annual Animal Rights National
Conference—undercover, of course. For three days, our researchers
selflessly abstained from basic hygiene and survived (read: starved) on a
tasteless vegan buffet to blend in with the crowd of hemp-clad animal
rights activists.

We are owners and dogs are property, which is in the best interest of both. Read and share.
By Dana Scott in Holistic Care
I am not a pet parent or a guardian: I OWN my dogs. While this may
make many readers cringe, the terms ‘pet parent’ and ‘pet guardian’
really make me squirm. As a pet owner, I don’t feel that I’m entitled
to push my dogs around, treat them Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326607387289297148.post-17891577362164845302015-07-31T10:09:00.004-04:002015-07-31T10:09:44.372-04:00New York Judge Denies Request to Extend Legal Rights to 2 ChimpsAnother chimp personhood case is over. Judge Barbara Jaffe delivered her

merely disillusioned young people who will grow out of their problem
behaviors. But cases like this show that the animal “rights” movement is
made up a non-trivial number of recidivistic criminals who are
determined to harm others in order to achieve their ends."

Why are animals needed for medical research? Watch this video by The Foundation for Biomedical Research to see some of the reasons. Leading scientists talk about why they use animals in science.
"The reason we study these living systems is because they have the appropriate structures. So that there are cells that talk to each other, there are different cells types within a given region.

Do we really need to import rescue dogs to the U.S.?
As I
see it, one of my jobs in life is to wander around social media and
burst people's illusions about animals. Most of the time this occurs
when I find articles online about animal rights topics, especially if
they relate to dogs. If there is an article about dog breeders, for

According to their website they have established councils in 10 states that supposedly provide "guidance" on better, more responsible farming practices. Protect The Harvest sent a letter to these councils. Good reading. . .
