PETA Upset Over Dead Mice

The other day, I read that the government was going to drop dead mice from helicopters over Guam.  It sounded crazy, but there was a good reason.  Officials are using the mice to get rid of an estimated two million brown tree snakes. The snakes have overtaken the territory, causing damage to both the economy and environment.  The snakes have almost depleted Guam’s native bird species.  This lack of birds causes a frightening (at least to me) side effect – the island now has 40 times more spiders than surrounding islands.  Needless to say, all the spiders and snakes have … Continue reading →

Animal Abuse on the Set of ‘The Hobbit?’

She has a devoted following (her … Continue reading →

Lady Gaga vs. PETA – Round 2

Lady Gaga may be celebrity fur wearing public enemy #1 for PETA. Gaga didn’t make any vegetarian, vegan, or even PETA friends when she wore a meat dress to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Yes, the dress was made of raw meat – beef to be exact. It certainly stood out – something difficult to do at any MTV awards show since fashion seems to be a free-for-all. Even TIME gave her the top fashion statement of 2010. The “statement” Gaga was trying to make with her dress, designed by Franc Fernandez, was that people should fight for what … Continue reading →
