For those American Idol fans, you all may as well know that Annop Desai was voted off. :(
But there's good news! PETA has taken the opprotunity to ask him to help in PETA India. He has been asked to help with their ABC (Animal Birth Control) campaign, to help control the animal population in the slums.
Another music story that many people have heard is that of Susan Boyle. In her interview with Britain's Got Talent, before she sang, she just had to mention how much she loved her cat, Pebbles. Of course, PETA had to get this right away, and PETA Europe has asked Boyle and Pebbles to be in a PETA add by asking everyone to always adopt and reinforce that "everyone can be a winner".
Mark Hoppus, bass player and vocalist of Blink-182 (now reunited!), was spotted! Doing what? Being a kind animal cruel guy. He asked PETA if he could get an award for paying $1000 dollars extra on a movie prop octopus, instead of a real one so that a live on doesn't have to die, in a photoshoot that he will be doing. Aww! In the eyes of PETA, they just love him now. So for his award, he will recieve a Compassionate Citizen Award. Good job Hoppus.

Likely Reasons for the Swine Apademic
Many people are suffering and dieing from the new disease "flu" virus/disease that's going on in Mexico at the moment. And there are some very simple answers and reasons as to why these things are happening. According to most PETA exterts, chickens and pigs are all shoved into crates and cages where there are no windows or any breathing room, or any room whatsoever.
The crates and cages make it easier for bacteria to float around causing all of the animals to get it. Once the crate is opened, BAM, disease everywhere.
It's as simple as that.
I personally think that this is kind od rediculous. Of course, bacteria spreads in enclosed areas, but to the point where everyone has to wear masks on a regular day so they doin't get the new flu. It's sad, and i think that for one, people and companies can start to make a change for the better by first making crates open nad not in suffocated areas.

Wal-Mart
In Hamilton, New jersey, the owner of a Wal-Mart store was charged for animal cruelty.
It was reported that the owner uses bird traps to collect the birds that fly around in the store (they usually get in through the garden place) and instead of checking the traps eachday to let them free, he didn't check them much at all. The birds that were caught were starved and were all in an enclosed area for and extended period of time until their death. PETA is now trying to get nolethal ways for Wal-Mart, or any other store who have birds randomly fly into them, to capture or lead away the birds. Home Depot for instance uses angry bird recordings to keep the birds away. So, Wal-Mart, if you use a bird catcher, at least check them often.
Personally, I dispise Wal-Mart. Everytime I go there it's always dirty, birds are flying around, and they treat their workers and customers terribly. I think that they should just find new methods of catching birds. I think that getting charged with animal cruelty is really kind of going over the top.

Recent news say that 9 primate mokeys escaped from the Oregon National Primate Research Center, due to their cages being left open. Sadly, the primates were eventually captured. But for them, they would have loved the freedom coming from where they were livingg Many people who have seen the cruelties that occur at the center, ONPRC, have contacted the USDA. Being seperated at birth, deadly surguries, eating food from garbage, and powerwashing their cages while they're still in them are just a few of the details that have been reported.
Primates are fairly similar to humans, they have thumbs! it's sad to hear these stories about this happening to any animal, especially to primates. I hope that the USDA makes a wise decision and keeps a close eye on the center in Oregon.

Ringling
Recenty Ringling magic people or circus appeared on The Early Show. Now with small dogs. A few montsh back there was a case with Ringling, they were accused of animal abuse. Shackeling elephants by the ankles when they weren't performing or when they were traveling which at the most lasted 100 hours. Two workers from Ringling, are now somehwat heros, in the eyes of PETA. They were the "whistleblowers and spilled the beans about all of the animal cruelty they had witnessed.
So, my question is, why would Ringling want to start using small dogs, in which people can obviously tell they are not fed or treated right, in their shows? Many of the dogs they use have to walk on their hind legs for super long periods of time, causing, arthritis, which is not fun. And having experianced a dog with bad arthritis, the dogs can't do much, so they get fat, and are put down. Many complaits come to PETA about dogs being in circuses. So why would Ringling want to make the mistake of using dogs in their shows?
