He Shoots Horses, Doesn't He? Trophy-hunting enthusiast appointed to head Fish and Wildlife Service		25 Mar 2005	Daily Grist
He Shoots Horses, Doesn't He? Trophy-hunting enthusiast appointed to head Fish and Wildlife Service Nothing gives one an appreciation for the challenges facing endangered species like, uh, hunting and killing said species. With that verity in mind, the Bush administration has appointed Matthew Hogan as interim head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Director Steve Williams resigned earlier this month) ...

PETA and getting your message Out There	David Roberts	07 Mar 2005	Gristmill
I was going to leave this as a comment on Katharine's post, but I run this joint, so why not take advantage? I used to completely agree with Katharine (and commenter Mike) that tactics like PETA's are counter-productive. In fact, I once wrote a post on it. Why do they always make the most extreme statement (wearing fur is like being a Nazi) and champion the most obscure causes (fish have feelings)? Don't they have enough legitimate, mainstream issues -- lik ...

Hook, line, and stinker?	Katharine Wroth	07 Mar 2005	Gristmill
Not long ago, PETA launched a 'Fish Empathy' project. Which I'll do my very best to treat seriously here ... just for the halibut. Citing research that shows fish communicate, feel pain, store memories, and even tend gardens, PETA is trying to convince anglers to quit. In January, after former President Carter chatted on the Tonight Show about hooking himself in the face, PETA wrote him a note: now you know how a fish feels. More recently, the organization asked Mai ...

Pan of Green Gobbles Sales of organic turkeys and Tofurky on the rise		24 Nov 2004	Daily Grist
Pan of Green Gobbles Sales of organic turkeys and Tofurky on the rise The organic turkey is the new Prius. If you're planning to carve one up for tomorrow's Thanksgiving meal, you're riding the latest wave of eco-chic. Organic turkey sales at Whole Foods Market have doubled this year, the upscale natural-foods chain reports. And that's building on i ...

More windmill tilting from PETA	David Roberts	17 Nov 2004	Gristmill
Do you ever feel a slight twinge of guilt when digging into a plate of baked salmon, envisioning the poor fish frolicking with its family and thinking deep thoughts? Yeah, me neither. But PETA hopes to change that. Their 'Fishing Empathy' (seriously) campaign kicked off yesterday. It's built around convincing folks that fish are more intelligent than we thought (based on several recent studies). 'No one would ever put a hook through a dog's or cat's mouth. Once pe ...

Oh, the Humanity		04 Jun 2003	Daily Grist
Oh, the Humanity Before they can be put on the market, pesticides are usually tested for safety on animals. Government regulators then establish an exposure level for humans that is 10 times more conservative than the safety level for animals. In an effort to abolish the tenfold safety net, pesticide companies frequently sponsor clinical tests on volunteers to try to prove that their products are as ...

Terror Alert Level: Green		14 Feb 2003	Daily Grist
Terror Alert Level: Green New York City is on high terrorist alert. The entire nation is on tenterhooks. And at California State University at Fresno, security was heavy -- for an academic environmental conference. The reason? The conference addressed "revolutionary environmentalism" and participants included former members of militant environmental and animal-rights organizations that have been link ...

Blair Switch Project		24 May 2002	Daily Grist
Blair Switch Project In what some observers saw as a thinly-veiled attack on environmentalists and animal-rights activists, British Prime Minister Tony Blair warned that his nation risked being overtaken by other countries if it let public sentiment and vocal protesters stand in the way of scientific progress. Speaking yesterday to the Royal Society in London, Blair said Great Britain's economic future was jeopardized ...

Stranger in a Familiar Land		23 May 2002	Daily Grist
Stranger in a Familiar Land If politics makes for strange bedfellows, sometimes it makes for strange enemies as well: Tensions are brewing between environmentalists and animal-rights activists over federal efforts to establish the health effects of industrial chemicals and pesticides by testing them on laboratory animals. Under pressure from environmentalists, who were concerned ...

Furious George		03 Apr 2002	Daily Grist
Furious George A two-and-a-half year escalation of acts of so-called eco-terrorism began to slow down last summer -- but inquiries into the acts have sped up, as federal lawmakers have used Sept. 11 as a reason to go after eco-terrorists with unprecedented energy. Last month, you could have been forgiven for confusing a congressional hearing on eco-terrorism with one on Al Qaeda. Speaking of organizations like the Ani ...

Banned, on the Run		13 Feb 2002	Daily Grist
Banned, on the Run The FBI's top domestic terrorism officer yesterday called the Earth Liberation Front and its companion, the Animal Liberation Front, the largest and most active U.S.-based terrorist organizations.

Animal Crackers		16 Jan 2002	Daily Grist
Animal Crackers Undaunted by the post-Sep. 11 anti-terrorism climate, an Animal Liberation Front spokesperson yesterday released the first-ever "year-end report" on illegal actions committed in the name of animals and the environment, or so-called eco-terrorism.

Patriot Missiles		06 Dec 2001	Daily Grist
Patriot Missiles Hopping aboard the post-Sept. 11 anti-terrorism bandwagon, some Republicans have set their sights on so-called eco-terrorists. U.S. Rep.

Not OK Corral		31 Oct 2001	Daily Grist
Not OK Corral The Earth Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for the Oct. 15 firebombing of a corral owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management near the California-Nevada border. The bomb started a blaze that caused $85,000 of damage to the Litchfield horse facility, 80 miles north of Reno. No one was injured in the fire, and none of the more than 20 ...

McChicken Run Consumers have the power to fight factory farms	Donella H. Meadows	02 Oct 2000	Global Citizen
According to the rules of the World Trade Organization, governments cannot block the import of a product on the basis of how it is produced. So what if a rainforest has been cut down or a stream polluted or an animal tortured or workers paid pitiful wages? That's the concern of the producing country, not the consuming one. Consumers should care only that they get what they want as cheaply as possible. ...
