Does This Calf Look Sad to You?

The New York City Transit Authority found this ad showing a frightened calf on a dairy farm so upsetting (i.e., effective) that it insisted on a “happier” version before it would run the ad in bus shelters and train stations. And while fast-food restaurants run “eat more meat” ads, PETA was denied the chance to run “eat no meat” ads on the Washington, D.C., Metro – so it joined the American Civil Liberties Union in suing the WashingtonMetropolitan Area Transit Authority for the right to run pro-vegan ads. Meanwhile, PETA is running them everywhere else!

Wolves ofWall StreetMeet ‘Coyotes’ of PETA

At Canada Goose’s initial public offering (IPO) at the New York and Toronto stock exchanges, PETA showed that when brands torture animals, IPO means “inviting public outrage.” Protesters in New York warned of the cruelty in every goose down–filled and coyote fur–trimmed Canada Goose jacket, and in Toronto, they waved graphic signs as TV cameras rolled. PETA members also purchased stock in the company in order to enable PETA to present shareholder resolutions. Trapped coyotes, particularlymothers desperate to reach their young, sometimes chew off their own limbs in an attempt to escape – only to die later of blood loss or infection. Trappers kill the rest by stomping on their chests or by shooting or bludgeoning them to death. Take Action Now Tell everyone you know: Don’t buy Canada Goose products! If you have a jacket from the company, send it back for a refund. Encourage your friends and family to contact Canada Goose CEO Dani Reiss at dreiss@canada-goose.com and tell him to stop selling real fur and down. GLOBAL

Babe Star Arrested After Interrupting SeaWorld Show

Yes, that was revered actor James Cromwell speaking through a megaphone at a SeaWorld San Diego orca show to warn the audience: “Forty orcas have died in captivity here!

Adding to SeaWorld’s woes, PETA Germany is warning travelers away from marine parks, using ads in in-flight magazines and at the Frankfurt Airport near the gates of flights departing to Or ando, and PETA UK protesters are urging the Thomas Cook travel agency to stop booking trips to SeaWorld.
