You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
-- Seattle, Chief of the Duwamish, Suquamish and allied Indian tribes,
Letter to President Franklin Pierce, 1854

Guide to Animal Rights
The term "animal rights" is often used loosely and widely, the meaning constantly altering with context and whoever is wielding it.
The technical definition of “animal rights” is built on certain principles:
The difference between animals and humans is not morally relevant
There is a moral obligation to ensure animals are not exploited and are given the same right to a pain-free, safe existence as afforded to human beings.
An animal’s ability to feel pain should not be taken any less seriously because they are not human.
The argument that an animal is intellectually or cognitively inferior and hence should not be accorded the same moral principles does not justify
causing an animal pain as the capacity to feel pain is not relevant to intellectual limitations.
Simply put, a human being with a low IQ or mental disadvantage feels the same amount of pain as a high functioning human being; hence this argument for discrimination cannot be used.
A similar rationale is used against “might is right”. There is no moral justification for the stronger being to overpower the weaker one just because they can: in the human or animal world.
Research reveals that animals have similar complex life systems as human beings, physiologically and psychologically.
They feel varying levels of pain, they have a drive to reproduce;
their body develops and declines like human beings and they possess similar nervous systems.
Similarly, they form functional social units. Animals have the intellectual capability to learn things, they have an inherent need for safety - for themselves,
their younger ones and their social units - animals form bonds with their own and other beings,
they have a need for companionship, they possess the ability to feel psychological pain and the ability to form emotional connections.

"I occasionally meet well-meaning people who say they care about humans but not about animals.
They mistakenly believe that concern for animals ignores the many human problems that need attention.
Such thinking reveals a serious disconnect, since humans are a part of nature,
not apart from it."

Skunks and Yoplait
The Fund for Animals
Q: There is a skunk with a yogurt cup stuck on his head. What do I do?
A: Unfortunately, certain yogurt cups(Yoplait)have a very dangerous design, the top has a small opening and rim which entraps a skunk's torpedo-shaped head.
Skunks caught in these cups soon become dehydrated and oxygen-deprived, and starve to death. The skunk won't spray anything he can't see, so hold the yogurt cup firmly, in a gloved hand.
Upon feeling resistance, the skunk will pull back and his head should pop out. Stand motionless, and the skunk will not see or spray you.
Another less "hands-on" option is to put a laundry basket or milk crate over the skunk (with a heavy rock on top) to keep him from wandering and contact a wildlife rehabilitator.
Likewise, skunks will accidentally lodge their heads in dumpster drain holes that aren't properly screened. Contact a rehabilitator for assistance in this circumstance.

animated hummingbird

If yellowjackets are keeping the hummingbirds from your feeder, keep a small container of vegetable oil and some cotton swabs handy.
Apply oil to feeder where hummers won't come in contact with it, on feeding tube and bee guard, not on perch.
Yellow jackets hate to walk on the oil.

Received in email:
"Do not try to flush clumping litter down the toilet as it turns into a cement-like substance, and you will have to dig it back out."
At first reading I had to laugh but then I've never used clumping litter. But you have been warned.
(Years later I discovered that if a small amount happens to get into the shower drain, you will need a plumber!)

grape vine

Pay no attention to the cute little photos of hummingbirds happily sharing the same feeder.
Just start with at least two feeders, hummers do not share. At least not in my back yard.
I heard a rumor once that hummers have to pump their wings in order to feed. This is not true, they sit on the perches and feed, grateful to be resting.
I was also told that raccoons always put their food in water because they have no salivary glands. The things people come up with!

grape vine

If you have a place in your yard, start a woodpile and/or a rockpile.
The animals will love dining on slugs, snails, grubs and other delicacies at your roadside cafe.
Don't forget, fresh water at every table. If you have an immense yard, leave the dead and/or fallen trees. These are animal condos.

grape vine

Butterflies do a thing called "puddling". Any shallow container filled with rocks and water, will be welcome.
Some butterflies are actually looking for salt and may prefer mud that is drying at the edges in the container. Dragonflies and damselflies may also appear.
Of course if you have a pond or waterfall, you won't need this. Yes, I know it seems like a strange thing to say but I recently visited a human made, backyard, combination waterfall and fish pond. I recommend these highly! (if only we all had room)
At 8:00a.m. the waterfall comes on. The fish have gathered under the falls, they know it is time.
Birds swoop down from nearby trees to bathe and shower on the rocks. Damselflies, dragonflies and butterflies appear later in the day.
The raccoons take it over at night, but with lots of rocks for the fish to hide under not much harm is done.
News flash!
The pond has now attracted a heron who stops by in the morning to breakfast with/on the fish, this is not a good thing.
Since I have no pond, creek or waterfall, I have to make do with litterboxes and pot saucers filled with water, fresh, daily.
It's very rewarding for me to see a skunk, raccoon, squirrel, bird, possum, or deer drinking from one, any time, day or night. (And once, a red fox.)

grape vine

It has been said that mothballs may be used to evict animals from enclosed places like attics. However, one raccoon family painstakingly moved an entire box of mothballs outside,
one...by...one.
Which reminds me of the time I rented a humane trap to catch a raccoon with a broken leg. The raccoons avoided this thing like the plague! "Put canned cat food, or tuna in it, they'll go right in."
(no they won't)
The critters in my yard won't go near one of those things. I watched them walk around it for days and nights. The man at the rental store said to keep an eye on the cage because once when a raccoon was caught in one, her entire family came and rolled the cage down a hill until the trap opened and the raccoon escaped!
I never caught that raccoon, all I could do was leave food and water for her in a place she could easily reach. She reappeared for a while, maybe three times. After that, I never saw her again.

Stop Animal Testing

PETA member Richard Pryor suffers from multiple sclerosis.
He is also so adamantly opposed to the use of animals in research that he used his Christmas card last year to discourage donations to charities that still fund such tests. Over the holidays, Richard’s friends received a card designed by PETA member Amy Luwis. It shows a monkey, mice and other animals running to freedom from a laboratory cage. “May your heart leap with joy this holiday!” Richard wrote inside the card. “And if the season finds you sharing your good fortune with others, please don’t give to charities that fund experiments on animals. A gift of goodwill should help end suffering, not cause it.” Richard knows that most people have no idea that their donations may be used to bankroll animal tests. He urges everyone to contact PETA for lists of charities that are “naughty” and “nice.”

Fellow multiple sclerosis sufferer Montel Williams agrees with Richard.
“They’ve been trying to test on animals for the past 50 years. Nobody’s come up with a cure,” he says. “If you want to test on somebody, test on me.” Montel is critical of wasted years and resources spent on animal tests that have led nowhere. “With all the technology we have—we can reach the whole planet at the same time—but we can’t figure out how to cure a disease by poking people rather than poking animals? I don’t get it.” Help the health charities that aren’t listening to Montel and Richard change their tune—the ones that continue to fund wasteful, ineffective and cruel experiments on animals. Please tell everyone you know to support the charities that focus on prevention and patient services and that use modern research methods, such as human clinical trials and in vitro tests.

The Johns Hopkins Center For
Alternatives To Animal Testing
Altweb, the Alternatives to Animal Testing Web Site, was created to serve as a gateway to alternatives news, information, and resources on the Internet and beyond.
Altweb is intended to serve: Biomedical researchers, industry, the international alternatives community, the international regulatory community(ies), IACUCs and other institutional groups that review animal protocols. The animal welfare community, individuals and groups who work with laboratory animals, technicians, veterinarians, etc., educators, students, the general public.
Altweb has five practical goals:
to provide scientists and others with a means for conducting a complete and appropriate alternatives search from one central, easily accessible location
to serve as a CRP--"central reference point"--for alternatives information, publications, databases, calendars, and other resources.
to support the creation and maintenance of new alternative resources as needed, when no other organization can/will do so
to promote the use of alternatives resources by publicizing them on the site and through e-mail or other outreach
to facilitate communication and collaboration among members of the alternatives community, in particular those who work in database or information management.

Carol Buckley and Scott Blaise
The Alliance for Elephants exists for the principle purpose of promoting the welfare of captive elephants. To that end, the Alliance seeks to enhance the dignity and quality of life of all captive elephants and to establish a forum where those dedicated to the welfare of elephants may freely speak.There are two basic membership categories: "Members," individuals who participate in the governance of the Alliance; and "Friends," individuals who support the Alliance but do not participate in its governance. Members are either professionals in the field of captive elephant management or non-professionals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to or long-standing interest in the aims of the Alliance. Friends are individuals, non-profit organizations, businesses or corporations that are interested in the aims of the Alliance and willing to financially support the Alliance.

American Anti-Vivesection Society
AAVS is a non-profit, animal advocacy and educational organization that is dedicated to the abolition of vivisection-the use of animals in research, dissection, testing, and education. AAVS is opposed to animal experimentation on both scientific and ethical grounds. Scientifically, vivisection is a flawed methodology, as non-human animals are biologically and physiologically different from humans. Research on non-human animals all too often produces results that do not correlate to humans. Ethically, we oppose vivisection based on the theory that animals have the right to live free of human-imposed suffering.

The American Horse Defense Fund
AHDF's mission is to facilitate the protection, conservation, and humane treatment of members of all Equid species. AHDF will seek to address inhumane treatment of horses, ponies, donkeys, mules and burros, both wild and domesticated through education, advocacy and litigation when necessary in the state, federal and international arenas. AHDF was founded in the year 2000. For the six years that founder Trina Bellak, Esq. worked closely and often daily on horse issues for The Humane Society of the U.S., she learned a great deal about the suffering that goes unabated in the lives of horses of every imaginable type and breed. Much of this unnecessary inhumane treatment goes on "behind closed doors" or out of the public view, often even those who may be witness keep silent.

Animal Freedom is for Animal Rights
"The Animal Freedom Foundation presents this website as a portal for exchanging ideas about animal rights in general and in particular about legal ways to end factory farming. Animal Freedom has no relation with the Animal Liberation Front. This site contains hundreds of articles on animal rights and the conditions that captive animals live in. An animal is neither "a thing" like a machine, nor a slave, but a living creature with feelings and rights. We think this right should be based on the same principle as for human rights: i.e. freedom. Caged animals in factory farms are especially deprived from their rights. For their well-being, all animals should have adequate possibilities to live naturally."

Bushmeat, Controlling the Problem/Wildlife Conservation Society
"Wildlife Conservation Society research has revealed that over one million metric tons of bushmeat (wildlife killed by commercial and subsistence hunters) are taken each year from African forests alone. The result is what many scientists now call the “empty forest syndrome” -- a seemingly healthy looking landscape devoid of wildlife. Wild areas throughout the world, particularly in tropical regions, are now threatened by this vexing problem. WCS is working tirelessly on solutions to control the taking of bushmeat, using a combination of hard science, and the involvement of local communities, national governments, and even logging companies."

Bushmeat Crisis Task Force
In Africa, forest is often referred to as 'the bush', thus wildlife and the meat derived from it is referred to as 'bushmeat'. This term applies to all wildlife species, including threatened and endangered, used for meat including: elephant; gorilla; chimpanzee and other primates; forest antelope (duikers); crocodile; porcupine; bush pig; cane rat; pangolin; monitor lizard; guinea fowl; etc. "We welcome you to visit the many sections of our site to learn more about this bushmeat crisis."

There is an ongoing open-door policy, and all are welcome to call for directions if you are in the area.

SHARK is dedicated to ending the abuse and suffering of animals everywhere. Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) was founded by Steve Hindi, a former hunter, and incorporated in 1993.

He killed for thirty years until the life-shattering day when, en route to shark hunting in the Atlantic Ocean, Steve attended the infamous Hegins pigeon shoot in Pennsylvania. The slaughter of thousands of nonhuman victims, and the involvement of children in the horrific killings, was too much for Steve to tolerate. He vowed to stop pigeon shoots, and went on to dedicate his life to ending the abuse of all animals.

The Society for Animal Protective Legislation
SAPL
was founded in 1955 when only two federal laws to protect animals existed. Since then, SAPL has worked for the successful enactment of over 15 additional federal laws. The Society for Animal Protective Legislation was founded at the time of the introduction of the first federal bill to require humane slaughter of animals. Prior to 1955, humane organizations had little success in obtaining needed federal legislation because they spent most of their efforts caring for lost and stray animals and were concerned about losing their tax-exempt status if they did much work on legislation. Until 1977, United States law specified that an organization could not retain such status if it spent a “substantial” amount on lobbying.
The Society for Animal Protective Legislation registered under the Federal Lobbying Act in 1955 and devoted its efforts entirely to passage of needed laws. From 1955 on, SAPL worked intensively to obtain enactment of the following major federal legislation. Note that nine strengthening amendments have been passed over the years. The Society continues to seek improvements in existing laws.

ABOUT THE VIDEO: Life Behind Bars is narrated by Mary Tyler Moore and documents the acute animal suffering caused by extreme confinement on mechanized farms. With undercover footage taken by Farm Sanctuary, this compelling video provides a rare first-hand look inside factory farm warehouses and exposes the brutal conditions that agribusiness wants to keep hidden from public view. Howard Rosenberg, the Pulitzer Prize-winning television critic of the Los Angeles Times, wrote, “Life Behind Bars is a liberating, stirring, plain-talking video that rolls out an assembly line of compelling reasons to end the evils of factory farming. You needn’t be an activist to be deeply moved by its eloquent, soulful plea to slaughter the system, not the animals.”
"Life Behind Bars is a great educational tool," Zoe Weil, President of the International Institute for Humane Education states. "The public has needed a film like Life Behind Bars for years, and Farm Sanctuary has taken the lead and put together an excellent introduction to factory farming that will dispel any myths that animal agriculture in America is humane. Narrated by Mary Tyler Moore, Life Behind Bars provides a short, but powerful glimpse into the hidden world of modern farming. Personally, I've been waiting for two decades for a film that I could show to secondary school students to teach them what really happens to pigs, cows and chickens in the United States. Until now, there has been no such film. Life Behind Bars will be a critical resource for humane educators who wish to teach their students about the reality of animal agriculture."
