Fur hurts

Thinking about wearing fur? Not sure what all the fuss is about? Wonder why animal rights activists [like me] are so passionately anti-fur?

Well, if you're not already aware of the horrifyingly cruel treatment of animals in the fur industry, here's a video that can help explain it to you. Musician Dave Navarro bares all (and he's cute! wouldn't you like to see him naked?) to help spread the truth about fur.

If you're already enlightened and do not wear fur, but know someone who does--or is thinking about it--kindly send them the link to this video so they can see what they're participating in.

Remember, fur hurts. Why would anyone with a conscience want to participate in such cruelty?

Courage, the dog: Abuser's preliminary hearing coming up

If you're in Southern California and want to see justice done for a horribly abused dog, please try to attend the abuser's preliminary hearing on June 15 at Bellflower Superior Court.

The abuser, Kimberly Nizato, starved Courage, a German Shepherd Dog, to the brink of death. Desperate for food he actually ate dirt to try to stay alive. She did not provide food or water, and kept him confined in a cage. When he was rescued in April he weighed only 37 pounds and was too weak to stand up; I'm happy to report that he is now nearing 80 pounds and is with a loving new family.

Nizato was released on $20,000 bail--not NEARLY enough, in my humble opinion. I'm afraid that it's a sign of a much too lenient sentence to come. We cannot let this vicious monster get off lightly.

If you attend the hearing, whether you're inside or outside of the courtroom, please be polite and respectful, but make clear why you're there--to speak up for Courage, since he cannot speak for himself.
