CAMPAIGNS : some stuff about chickens

Unfortunately for battery hens, this subject has been spoken about so much that most people have switched off, thinking "It must be solved by now?" Well we can tell you it has not only continued, but the conditions have become worse because we sent them a message that it was acceptable by switching off. Recently the Australian Law Reform Commission announced its intentions to shine a torch on animal welfare but if we don't show them our support, the light will again be switched off on battery hens. Here's 6 things you didn't know about the chicken and eggs you eat every day. > More

THE LATEST : earn your wings campaign

Did you know it takes 100 chinchilla's to make a single fur coat? Its not for warmth ... its not for shelter or to save lives ... its not to feed the hungry ... 100 animals are mistreated, abused and painfully killed so a single human being can show off their expensive coat. Foxes, Minks, Chinchilla's and even household pets like dogs, cats and rabbits are raised in cages and electrocuted to death before their carcasses are disposed of. Are you still wearing fur? > More

This is what we've been asked for the most. A simple list of companies that don't test their products on animals and a list of those that do. This list will help you make the choice next time you are purchasing a mascara or trying new lip gloss - always choose products that do not test on animals to send a clear and effective message to the companies who refuse to adopt cruelty free practices.

YOUR SAY: Why go nude?

Animal Cruelty is a controversial subject. No really! We know areas of this site will generate different feelings for different people. While Animals rely on us to speak on their behalf, humans possess the abilty ... and the right ... to speak ... or write! Tell us how you feel, what makes you mad and how you deal with it! Our first letter is from John ...

Imogen, If you please would, could you please tell me why you, like so many other women who belong to PETA (at least from what I have observed, feel the need to get naked to get the message across that you are trying to get across? I know some guys get naked too for your cause but, in my estimation, many more women do than men, in my opinion.
