Seal Slaughter
In April, the largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet began off Canada's Atlantic coast. By the end of the hunt, more than 300,000 baby seals will have been brutally killed—many, incredibly, as young as 12 days old. The Humane Society of the United States is on the front lines in Canada, reporting and videotaping events as they unfold and fighting to halt this atrocity.
Buffalo Slaughter
National Park Service Sends 24 Buffalo to Slaughter, Captures 100 More; DOL Hazes Buffalo through Lake Ice, Killing Two! Why is the Montana Department of Livestock hazing these buffalo when there are no cattle in the vicinity? But there are no cattle in the West Yellowstone area, right?
Animal Rights
Please help us protect those without a voice. There is much we can learn as humans from the Wolf, as well as all members of the animal kingdom...."we are all connected".
This is the story of The Colonel, our Siberian rescue, and how he saved my wife's life. It is the story of how he said thank you!
