The Daily Show With Jon Stewart is something I watch religiously. I am a fan because they are usually dead right in their take on things. So, while still laughing, I cringed when they recently took on People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) about their lawsuit protecting Orcas (killer whales) as slaves from SeaWorld.

“The Grey:” A Bad Fairy Tale About Wolves
(MOVIE REVIEW) The Grey, starring Liam Neeson, is about an oil drilling team stranded in the middle of Alaskan wilderness after their plane crashes. But it’s not the dangerous weather that poses the biggest threat to these men, it’s a pack of wolves that are portrayed as blood-thirsty, vicious creatures. It’s hard not to get irked while watching The Grey since wolves just got delisted as an Endangered Species. It’s even harder to then read interviews with Joe Carnahan, the director, defending his portrayal of wolves as realistic, instead of simply admitting that it’s completely fictional. The idea that a pack of wild wolves that have never had contact with humans would go after humans in a territorial blood war is implausible at best, dangerously misleading at worst.

Exotic Pets Are Not For Sale
(EXOTIC ANIMAL SALES) Animals are living creatures not memorabilia objects to be auctioned to the public. Yet, those selling exotic animals sell them in such fashion. However, animals are most beautiful when living in their natural habitats — not in the backs of trailers. In essence, exotic animals are only “exotic” because they are not meant to live in someone’s home or in artificial environments. Not only is “owning” such animals unnatural, but they present a danger to their surroundings when living in captivity. Remember the fiasco in Ohio when one man released his exotic animals before shooting himself? — Global Animal

(GLOBAL ANIMAL EXCLUSIVE) Global Animal recently exposed a scam where tiger cubs are put on displays in malls throughout the U.S. for “educational purposes.” Joe Schreibvogel, the owner of G.W. Exotic Animal Park, a vast pseudo-sanctuary with a questionable history of animal abuse uncovered by a PETA investigation claimed that 23 of his tiger cubs in 2010 died because of bad formula. Howard Baskin, the CEO of Big Cat Rescue, the largest legitimate big cat sanctuary in the U.S. provided Global Animal with an FDA report proving that the formula was not tainted as Schreibvogel claimed. — Global Animal
Animal Studies And Humanities Merge
(ANIMAL STUDIES) The educational field of Animal Studies hasn’t had a proper home on most American college campuses to date, but many universities are currently developing their own individually progressive programs. The lines are slowly being blurred between animal studies and humanities; as they each touch on humans, animals, and the effects both have on each other. Read on for more on schools progression towards the post-humanities. — Global Animal
