President Elect Barack Obama’s two young daughters, Malia Anne (10) and Sasha (7), were promised that they could get a puppy if their father won the presidency. Now that Obama has officially been elected (hooray!), it looks like these little girls will finally get their wish. Now, I don’t know this for sure, but my [...]

“With the passage of Prop 2, California becomes the 5th state to outlaw gestation crates (joining Florida, Arizona, Oregon and Colorado) and the third to outlaw veal crates (joining Arizona and Colorado). Perhaps most significantly, it becomes the first state to ban battery cages for laying hens, who are killed in far greater numbers than [...]

For a blog that’s about factory farming and animal rights, I realize I haven’t said much about one of the biggest anti-factory farming campaigns going on right now: Yes on Proposition 2 in California. If passed, Proposition 2 would end the practice of cramming farm animals into cages so small the animals can’t even turn [...]

During the Midwest Animal Advocacy Conference in June (yes, I’m a little slow on some of my posts!), a lot of the things the speakers said really stuck with me. One of those things came from Paul Shapiro, the Senior Director of the Factory Farming Campaign at the Humane Society of the United States. To [...]
Pet Cloning & Pet Overpopulation

Many of you have probably seen the news story about the woman who recently cloned her pet Pitbull, Booger, who passed away from cancer in 2006. The cloning procedure resulted in 5 miniature copies of Booger and cost the woman $50,000. Yes, $50,000. Look, if there is anyone who understands what it’s like to love [...]
Livestock Transport

This weekend on my 6.5 hour drives to and from my parents’ farm in North Dakota, I saw several trucks transporting pigs to–I assume–slaughter. Every time I saw them, I’d look at them all crammed in there and wondered when they last had anything to eat or drink. I thought about how hot they must [...]

The Humane Society of the United States has unfortunately uncovered more abuse of dairy cows. This time the abuse occurred at an auction house in New Mexico. The following video shows some of the offenses, including kicking a weak cow in the head, sticking cows in the eyes with pokers, dragging them by their legs [...]

This past weekend my youngest sister adopted an 8 month old puppy from the local Humane Society. She is a French bulldog/pug mix (the dog, not my sister – har har!) and has been named Ellie May. Ellie was rescued a couple weeks ago here in Minnesota: “They were in a barn in wire cages [...]
Cockfighting Ring Busted in Minnesota
Posted in Animal Cruelty, Animal Welfare, tagged Animal Cruelty, cockfighting, Humane Society, Minnesota law, St. Paul on April 22, 2008 | 3 Comments »
This morning on Minnesota Public Radio I heard a story about a local cockfighting operation that was busted in St. Paul. This amazes me. I mean, I know this kind of stuff goes on, I guess, but you don’t think it could be happening at your neighbor’s house or somewhere so close. According to the [...]
