Please help spread the word, and save the date, and all that. 

So, please help spread the word about the Dec 6th screenings of "Your Mommy Kills Animals." All money raised at these 2 showings will go to the SHAC7 support fund.

Again, this movie is not something we are totally endorsing. There are some things in it we're not really into, but it does do a good job of getting info about the SHAC7 trial out there at least. It's worth it for that if nothing else.

“Bush supporters had significantly less knowledge about current issues, government and politics than those who supported Kerry,” the study says.

Lohse says the trend isn’t unique to Bush: A 1977 study by Frumkin & Ibrahim found psychiatric patients preferred Nixon over McGovern in the 1972 election."

Where? Liberty Hall, 311 N Ivy Portland OR
How Much? $7-$100 suggested donation to benefit non-cooperating "Green Scare" defendants and grand jury resistance

Presentations by:
Jeff Hogg – Grand jury resister imprisoned from May to November of 2006 for refusing to cooperate with a federal grand jury related to the green scare.
Paul Loney – Attorney to grand jury resister Jeff Hogg
Updates and information on the Green Scare, the Shac 7 and grand jury resistance

The "Green Scare" refers to the federal government's expanding prosecution efforts against animal liberation and ecological activists, which is strikingly similar to the "Red Scare" of the 1950s. The "Green Scare" includes the cases from the "Operation Backfire" indictments, and the cases of the SHAC7 (shac7.com), Eric McDavid (supporteric.org), Rod Coronado (supportrod.org), Jeff Hogg, Josh Wolf and several recent federal grand jury subpoenas.

Fur Free Friday 2006 

Are we gonna see you all there?

From Connie at IDA Portland:

"This is a REMINDER to ask you to mark your calendar for the annual Fur Free Friday march!

Starting (and ending) at Schumacher Furs, IDA will host a peaceful, police-escorted anti-fur march in the streets of downtown Portland, which will pass all the downtown stores that sell fur.

This Fur Free Friday marks the one-year anniversary of highly publicized, weekly demonstrations outside the Schumacher Fur Store.

What: Fur Free Friday march
When: Friday, November 24th - meet at 11:30 am - March begins promptly at noon
Where: Corner of SW 9th and SW Morrison, downtown Portland

Also, IDA has a 30 second advertisement about the fur industry scheduled to air on KPTV FOX 12 starting Sunday, November 19th thru Thursday, November 23rd. I don?t have the exact airtime for Sunday but the exact airtimes for Monday thru Thursday during Good Day Oregon are:

Monday, November 20th 7:27:15 AM
Tuesday, November 21st 8:43:30 AM
Wednesday, November 22nd 8:14:15 AM
Thursday, November 23rd 8:59:00 AM

Please watch for it and thank you to everyone who donated to help get this aired.

After the march, activists can join IDA in a Fur-Free Party on the sidewalk outside Schumachers--complete with vegan cake--to celebrate this hugely successful, ongoing anti-fur campaign. And then come back to Schumachers, 811 SW Morrison, every Saturday
from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. for our weekly outreach!

March Route:

Start at SW 9th & SW Morrison, head west to 13th Street, head south to Yamhill, head east to 4th Street, head north to Morrison, head west on Morrison and end up where we started.

For more information contact the NW IDA office at 503-249-9996 or email connie@idausa.org. Also pick up a copy of the latest issue of Herbivore Magazine to read "Those Meddling Kids: Portland activists give furrier the what for" by IDA's Northwest Coordinator Matt Rossell, who once worked undercover at an Illinois fur farm."

Dolphin DNA could prove mammals know more than animal rights activists about Animal Kingdom 

This author must be high as a kite. Interesting facts in the beginning, but what the fuck kind of conclusion does she come to? Uggh...

"Flipper in captivity may lead to irrefutable proof that mammals that walked the earth one day went into the sea; that animals very rarely willingly go down the route to endangered species category.

Many of God’s creatures come with built-in radars, and left to their own devices, seem to know what’s best for them.

The DNA of the dolphin with legs could someday retire ALF and other radical animal rights groups to Endangered Species category."

Ron Wyden = big dummy. 

"Please, if you care about the sea lions, write and call Senator Wyden now, and demand that he stop scapegoating sea lions for the decline of salmon. If sea lions are responsible for '2.1%' predation on salmon, as Senator Wyden suggests, then there is a long line of culprits who need to be addressed way before killing sea lions can even be considered. As I reported in my previous article, the dams themselves are responsible for a full 75% mortality rate among salmon trying to pass through them to the sea. They, of all factors, are responsible for the waning runs. Fishermen, too, are responsible for a much higher percentage of salmon mortality than sea lions."

An Interview with Professor Gary L. Francione 

"As I have often noted, “humane slaughter” laws are difficult to enforce, and the economic realities of the meat-packing business militate against conscientious self-enforcement of such standards. Moreover, such laws arguably increase overall suffering, because they make the general public feel better about eating meat or about any other regulated use of animals. This is the Catch-22 of animal welfare."

and...

"Anyone who maintains that she or he is an “animal rights” advocate but is not vegan cannot be taken seriously."

and....

"Many advocates do claim that it is “elitist” to maintain that there are moral baselines, such as veganism. But that is like saying that it is “elitist” to say feminists must reject rape. It is simply inconsistent to maintain that you accept an animal rights position but continue to consume animals. Many advocates seem to think that veganism is optional and that it is only the “vegan police” who insist on veganism. That is no different from saying, in the context of advocacy for children’s rights, that those who condemn all pedophilia are “pedophilia police.” If a children’s rights advocate is not a member of the “pedophilia police,” she isn’t an advocate for children’s rights."
