The first weekend round-up of 2009:

- Alanis Morrissette goes vegan!

- Rachel Ray wants you to poison your dog.

- Milk industry needs a bailout to continue selling pus laden staple.

- Coral growth slows to frightening levels.

- ACTION ALERT! Help free pigs from gestation crates and chains.

And something to keep you smiling...


Have a good week.

Six producers and sellers of milk products that killed six babies and contaminated over 300,000 are set for trial in China. The milk products sold lacked proper nutrition so producers added the toxic substance melamine to help it pass inspection.

It's frightening to me that a toxic substance like melamine can be added to HELP pass milk inspection. Just one more reason not to consume milk (here's some others).

As Americans are bailing out our banks and our auto industry, Italians are giving millions to save a failing cheese industry. It seems that another industry fueled by the suffering of others is set to topple. The stimulus given to revive it is seen as a futile attempt to save what animal rights advocates have been trying to stop for years.
