    I am a Canadian television Director, currently working on a documentary on animal rights. I wonder if you have any Canadian colleagues who support your philosophy to whom you could direct me.

    Best regards

    Hello, I couldn’t find your email on this site so I hope it’s OK to post this here. I’m writing on behalf of the RSPCA, raising awareness of its urgent campaign to protect the welfare of UK meat chickens. We need people to petition the government through sending a letter at http://bit.ly/quash and if you could write a blog post about this it would be much appreciated. Please email me for more information and imagery if you would like to cover the campaign.
    Thanks.

    Hello
    I need help in Florida. I live next door to this canned hunting business. The county is not helping us. This business moved in and did not get any permits for building or county license’s to operate. Now the county is giving them what thay want and changing the zoning to help the business. Could you review this and get back to me. Could you help? The county is changing the A-2 zoning.

    There is land in Indiantown which has the proper zoning which would allow an individual or cooperation to operate a hunting business, there just are not any on Foxbrown Road.

    Zoning exists to protect the values of our homes and ensure quiet enjoyment from industrial and commercial smells, noises, and unseemly sights.

    If the commissioners decide to change martin county’s A-2 zoning to allow a hunting business with lodging We would greatly appreciate if they would create a ” No gun fire safety zone ” between that business and adjacent schools, day cares, playgrounds, parks, equestrian facilities and residential homes.

    We would also like to see the A-2 zoning address specific types of hunting which would be permitted on conservation areas.

    We also feel that if dog kennels are to be permitted on a 200 acre property they should be at least 1000 ft from adjacent properties or sound proofed.
    Elisa Ackerly Indiantown resident.

    I suggest contacting the folks at the Florida Animal Law blog (http://www.floridaanimallaw.com/). Maybe they can give you a referral. You can also find them on our blogroll.

    hi. to help convince friends, family, others, of the benefits of a plant diet and the harm caused by a meat diet, i am trying to find a short article or essay that references the environmental damage caused by using animals for food, clothing, etc.

    isn’t animal use the #1 cause of environmental damage?

    It’s hard to say what is # 1, but it’s certainly way up there. This post should give you a start in finding some: http://animalblawg.wordpress.com/2009/09/18/cafos-an-unregulated-assault-on-the-air-water/

    FYI: CAFOs and animal abuse made primetime twice in recent weeks. Once on Fox’s “Bones”– “The Toughman in the Tender Chicken”– and once on CBS’s “CSI Miami– “Bad Seed”. The Bones episode is still up on Hulu and the show’s website, and the “Bad Seed” episode recap is available at the CSI Miami site. My organization, Idaho Concerned Area Residents for the Environment (ICARE) has sent letters thanking these shows for having the courage to spotlight this important problem. It would be very worthwhile if you and everyone you know could do the same (you can bet those networks are going to hear from industry, so we might as well try to head them off at the pass).

    I blogged about this here: http://www.fairfoodfight.com/blog/verno/cafos-make-primetime
