PETA Targets Kids in Their New Anti-McDonald’s Campaign

Published under General.

PETA launched an anti-McDonald’s campaign targeted at young children. The “McCruelty” protests began at a dozen McDonald’s chains nationwide. Parents and children leaving McDonald’s were given “Unhappy Meals”, which were splashed with pictures of a rather demonic Ronald McDonald, holding a knife and a dead chicken (picture attached).

An Interview with Kyla Duffy from Happy Tails Books

Published under General.

With my strong advocacy for rescuing purebreds in mind, I was particularly excited to come across an organization that is producing the coolest books! Happy Tails Books, at www.HappyTailsBooks.com, is a book collection of stories written by people who have rescued their purebred, and mixed breed, dogs. Each book is specific to one breed, with a seperate book being dedicated just to mixed breeds. These books highlight what wonderful animals you can adopt through rescue groups and shelters, and do an enormous service in helping save the lives of these animals by spreading the word.

Published under General.

Sunday marked the 1 year anniversary that UC Santa Cruz molecular biologist David Feldheim and his family awoke to a firebomb that exploded on their front porch.

As stated in the San Jose Mercury News, “The couple and their two children, then 2 and 4, fled the flames by climbing down a second-floor fire escape. Feldheim bruised his feet as he scrambled to safety, but the rest of his family was unharmed.”
