– This is the conclusion from a recent article by Robert Goodland and Jeff Anhang that was published in the Animal Feed Science and Technology journal. (I’m not kidding!)
I recently wrote about Goodland and Anhang’s 2009 report, Livestock and Climate Change, which asserts that livestock may account...

The inequality of women and men in comic art
dcwomenkickingass:
My pal Kelly Thompson has written a kick ass article, “No, it’s not equal” on the different ways that men and women are depicted in comics. Here’s a taste:
I think it’s a big problem that extends far beyond comics and like other media, it really affects the way people view women, and how women, especially young women, view themselves. I don’t think “it’s just comics” and...

From the Manure Pit
animalplace:
This is the manure pit, where the droppings of more than 25,000 hens per shed land and accumulate. There is more than 6” of stinking sludge collected there.
During the catching of birds by workers, some would fall into the manure pit. Workers refused to catch the birds, leaving them to languish.
Animal Place staff member, Greg, saw these suffering hens and immediately went into...

Emergency Turlock Hen Rescue Benefit Day - this...
FYI!
veganpizzafuckyeah:
By now you might have heard about the massive rescue of thousands of chickens from an egg farm in Turlock, California. A few weeks ago, A&L Poultry decided to stop feeding the 50,000 “layer” hens at the facility, abandoning them to a slow death by starvation. When local animal rescue groups got wind of the situation, they stepped up to save as many hens as they...

I hope Rick Santorum gets stranded in a foreign country without any money or his passport and sends out an email to all his friends that he’s stranded, but they don’t send him anything because they just got a memo about that scam last week.

A Hen Learns to Eat again
animalplace:
A couple days ago, we showed you an amazing thing - one of the rescued hens seeing dirt, grass and the sun for the first time. As things have settled down a little, I wanted to share with you what most of the hens looked like when they first arrived.
She can barely hold her head up, and she has lost 50% of her body weight.
When we showed her food, she did not know what to do....

Chicken Care Matters
animalplace:
Want to learn how to care for one of the 4,500 hens we rescued from an egg farm last week? Then join us for a Chicken Care Matters class at the Marin Humane Society, which has generously taken in 400 of the hens. Some of the hens may even be available for adoption that day!
As keeping backyard chickens becomes more popular, the need to educate increases dramatically. At Animal Place,...

NC ultrasound law requires 'invasive' scan for... →
keepyourboehneroutofmyuterus:
North Carolina’s ultrasound law, passed last year over the governor’s veto, didn’t provoke the same level of controversy. It doesn’t include the words “trans-vaginal probe,” either. But it effectively requires the procedure for many, if not most, abortions.
The new law requires an ultrasound before any abortion procedure. The woman has to be shown the image of the...

A Hen's First Steps Outside →
animalplace:
People! This photo montage is going to make you smile, cry and smile some more. I am super serious. If you don’t know the back story, read about it here. This is a hen’s FIRST FORAY OUTSIDE. She has NEVER touched the earth or felt the sun or done anything remotely chicken-like, because she has been in a cage producing egg after egg. Now she is a serious outdoorsy lady. I wanted to...
