Striking Doesn't Hurt? from Philosophia and Animal Liberation. My reaction to news that the Ringling Bros. folks, still in the middle of the trial against them, are claiming that hitting elephants with bullhooks doesn't hurt them was a big, fat "Are you serious?" too.

Hunting "Tail" on Dollhouse from easyVegan.info. Kelly always does a great job of analyzing how animals, animal activists, and animal-human interactions are portrayed in popular media. This post is no exception.

Win a Copy of Vegan Soul Kitchen from Vegans of Color. Who among us couldn't use another excellent (and free!) cookbook?

On Veganism as Vegetarianism from Animal Person. Like Mary, I was pretty confused by the PCRM wording that indicated that vegans and vegetarians (i.e., people who eat dairy) could, umm, "avoid the unhealthy hormones and environmental toxins found in dairy products." Wha?

B12 and Reality from Vegan Soapbox. There have been lots of articles and blog posts on the B12 issue lately (and on some misrepresentation of it). Here's some basic, no-frills, nothin'-but-the facts info. See also Liberation BC & PCRM: Vegan Diet Doesn't Cause Birth Defects from easyVegan.info.

The Iditarod's Trail of Dog Deaths from Support Animal Welfare. Need I really explain what this post is about? Just read it.

Bacon Freak Bacon Club from Suicide Food. Ugh. That's all I have to say.
