Better Pig Pens For McDonalds

Lane — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:12:18 +0000

McDonalds is now telling its pork providers that they need to use better pig pens. Recently, we had written about the animal cruelty with regards to McDonalds chickens. Now McDonalds is telling its pork providers that gestational stalls are too small. These pens are usually only two feet wide. This is hardly enough room to [...]

Animal Cruelty and McDonald’s Eggs

Lane — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 21:11:34 +0000

Jane and I have been vegan for over 4 years now. In that time, we've noticed a significant shift in the mindset of the general population. The word "vegan" doesn't always meet with blank stares (0r thoughts of the cosmos). Vegan products are readily available at all our local grocery stores. Veganism is even an [...]

Peta at Westmister Dog Show

The Westminster Kennel Dog Show ended today. Just before the award was given for "Best in Show," two Peta protesters managed to get out in the ring and held up signs reading "Mutts Rule" and "Breeders Kill Shelter Dogs' Chances." The protest was cut from television, so if you missed it make sure to watch [...]

Pound Puppies

It's been awhile, sorry. While I've been ignoring this blog, I've been watching a fight brew in a chat I visit. The issue is animal adoption. One of the people involved is choosing to buy a dog from a breeder. The other person is a staunch animal rights activist and has taken to berating her [...]

It’s Not Splendid

Lane — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 06:51:10 +0000

We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living [...]

Animal Rights in the White House?

Lane — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 08:12:49 +0000

As the eyes of the world turn towards Washington for the changing of the guard, the vegan community will very likely have high hopes for the new "regulatory czar," Cass Sunstein. Sunstein will head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, which regulates, among many other agencies, the Environmental Protection Agency. Hmmm.... For those of [...]

There Has To Be A Better Way

Lane — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 08:29:39 +0000

If you've been reading this blog for a bit, you've probably noticed that we don't focus much on animal rights/animal welfare. For the most part, Jane and I came to veganism through a desire for better health. And so our focus is health, food, and lifestyle. As time has gone by, the health reasons that [...]

Snips And Snails And Puppy Dog Tails

Lane — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:18:36 +0000

I was having a discussion with a co-worker today. She's getting a puppy and she's so excited she's already picked out his name. This sounds rather reasonable (fun even), until we get to the part where she mentions she doesn't know when she'll be picking him up; she's buying her dog from a breeder. She [...]

Combat Global Warming – Eat Vegan

Lane — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 07:22:26 +0000

Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the US blogged about "Your Plate, Your Planet" (in other words, what you eat affects the environment) tonight. It's something I ranted about a few times over the summer. Eating lower on the food chain is a very effective tool to reduce our individual carbon-footprints. [...]
