Dog fighting
People who get a thrill out of this need therapy. There is something seriously wrong with them.

Not a Friend of Bill
Richardson has bagged traditional game — such as elk and turkey — and stalked the exotic. He shot an oryx, a long-horned antelope native to Africa, during a guided outing in 2005 on a New Mexico ranch owned by media mogul Ted Turner.

I wouldn't vote for Richardson if he was the only candidate running. Oh, and that ranch... it's a canned hunt. This sentiment will get me in trouble, but I believe there is something psychologically wrong with anyone who derives joy from killing.

Kangaroo Leather
I'm an avid animal lover. I just became aware of an incredibly barbaric practice and legislation that is up for a vote in California. The PETA blog has details but the short story is this.
S.B. 880 will make it legal to sell kangaroo skins in California. This practice has been banned since 1970. The California Senate Natural Resources and Wildlife Committee passed the bill on May 8, allowing it to move forward to voting by the full Senate. Please help stop SB 880 and protect kangaroos by signing the petition: Let the California Chamber of Commerce know that you oppose SB 880 and will leave California out of your future travel plans if this bill is passed.
If you need any inspiration, the PETA blog has video of a kangaroo being killed (almost), the joey ripped from her pouch and stepped on, and the kangaroo being hung on the side of a truck, still alive. It took my breath away. I couldn't finish watching it.
If you are a resident of California please make your voice heard.

Need to Know
This is one of those things I think everyone needs to know about, especially if you have pets.
The Humane Society of the United States estimates that every year middlemen known as "Class B" animal dealers round up about 18,000 dogs and cats through flea markets and free-to-good-home ads, and then sell them to laboratories and university research labs.
In the process, it says lost pets are rounded up, too.
Now that Congress has undergone a change in leadership, the animal advocacy group hopes lawmakers will make it illegal for "Class B" dealers to sell "random source" cats and dogs to research labs.
