All You Can Eat
May 10, 2012 by Michael Mountain
Two-thirds of adults and one-third of children in the United States are overweight or obese. We’re not only eating ourselves to death; the “food” we eat is actively poisoning us. And some of it is poisoning the planet, too.
What’s Up with the Genesis Awards?
May 7, 2012 by Michael Mountain
Two big no-no’s at this year’s Genesis Awards. The HSUS needs a whole new selection committee, plus it should have raised holy hell and walked away from the relationship with Animal Planet.
How You and I Can Save the World
May 3, 2012 by Michael Mountain
Most climate scientists and environmental organizations continue to skip over the one critical thing that any and all of us can do to save ourselves, the other animals and the Earth from the devastation that climate change is beginning to wreak. But the fact is there’s one simple thing that we can all do about it. And the more of us do it, the more it can turn this whole thing around while there’s still time.
A Day for Lab Animals
April 24, 2012 by Michael Mountain
In the final analysis, any society that bases the health of its citizens on a foundation of cruelty and misery toward other animals cannot ultimately be a healthy one. The cures it produces will necessarily be fleeting and illusory, rather than a true prescription for real health and vitality.

I may have met Little Victoria last summer. I don’t know that for sure, but I certainly met her family. She was a young orca, and her battered body washed up on the beach two months ago. The evidence is that she was killed by a sonar bomb set off by the Canadian Navy.
The Odds for Racehorses
March 27, 2012 by Michael Mountain
A survey of racing statistics from 29 states shows that more than 3,000 horses died during racing or training from 2009 to 2011. Every one of those horses showed drugs – often multiple drugs – in their bodies.
War and the No-Kill Movement
March 22, 2012 by Michael Mountain
The no-kill philosophy extends way beyond homeless pets. It’s a way of living that takes killing off the table – in every area once and for all. You can’t be no-kill and go hunting. You can’t be no-kill and be pro-abortion, pro-capital punishment or pro-vivisection. And you certainly can’t be no-kill and support going to war.
An Evening with Daniel
March 14, 2012 by Michael Mountain
Joe and Geralynn are deeply committed to the cause of homeless pets, and it was truly touching to see Daniel in a home that’s just perfect for him and so valuable to all the animals he and his “mom and dad” are committed to rescuing.
PETA Euphemizes as it ‘Euthanizes’
March 1, 2012 by Michael Mountain
With the blood of tens of thousands of animals on their hands, these two Lady Macbeths are probably incapable of stopping killing homeless pets on their own. So it’s time for animal protection organizations to speak up with a single, united voice against this unconscionable travesty.
