Animal Rights and Welfare
Before you get involved in an animal organization, make sure you understand everything they believe in.

The History of Respect for Animals
Today we see animal rights activists everywhere. From Green Peace attempting to hunt down a Japanese Whaling Vessel to eco-terrorists letting all the animals escape from a Country Animal Shelter and Pound and then vandalizing it. These of course are extreme and yet humans have quite a lot of empathy for animals and nature as well.

No Primate Is Illegal
Did you know that non-humans are supposed to have human rights? Talk about losing the language, but that is exactly what some are trying to establish. The test subject for redefining human is a 26-year old chimpanzee named Hiasl which certain animal rights activists are trying to get legally declared a person.

Stop Prairie Dog Poisoning!
The U.S. Forest Service today released its draft plan that may drastically increase the poisoning of prairie dog colonies this fall throughout the Buffalo Gap and Fort Pierre National Grasslands in South Dakota and the Oglala National Grassland in Nebraska. Widespread poisoning could kill tens of thousands of prairie dogs, which would jeopardize the continued recovery of the critically imperiled black-footed ferret, the most endangered mammal in North America. The plan would also harm other wildlife that depend on prairie dogs for food or prairie dog burrows for shelter, including rare species such as swift foxes, burrowing owls and ferruginous hawks.
