Bob Barker’s Price Is Right To Save University Cats

April 30, 2013

(ANIMAL RIGHTS) Recently, PETA released a video of a cruel animal testing practice at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) called Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). In most universities, this procedure is performed on a simulator, but for some reason the antiquated system at WUSTL allows students to perform this traumatic procedure on nine live cats, and sometimes even up to 15 gruelling intubations per session. Following the release of PETA’s video, animal activist and legendary game show host Bob Barker penned a letter to the school’s chancellor with a very kind proposition. Read on to find out more on Bob’s generous offer to WUSTL and see how you can help put an end to this animal cruelty. — Global Animal

Pooch’s Pups Spared From Shelter Life (VIDEO)

April 30, 2013

(SHELTER PETS) Mimi, an unspayed Maltese, was brought to an animal shelter after her caretakers found out she was pregnant. Unfortunately, pregnant dogs who are given up to shelters have very grim prospects. Puppies are oftentimes aborted so they are spared from living a tough shelter life. What’s more, pups who do make it into the world stand a greater chance of death from freezing or exposure to various diseases. Thankfully, Mimi’s shelter worked with a local rescue group and found herself a great foster home where she safely gave birth to a litter of six puppies. Mimi was very lucky, but most stories like hers end in unnecessary and preventable tragedy. This is why spaying a neutering should be a must for all responsible pet guardians.  Read on to see what’s in store for Mimi’s future. — Global Animal

Russia’s Horse Meat Following

April 29, 2013

(HORSES) MOSCOW — Amidst the widening debate involving the slaughter and human consumption of horse meat in the UK and abroad, an Italian chef named Valentino Bontempi focuses his anger toward the use of horse meat in a somewhat controversial manner. His outrage is not that of humane concern for horses, but rather a callous interest in the way horse meat is prepared by Russian chefs throughout chain restaurants in Moscow. “Russians,” he said rather insensitively, “have no clue about cooking horse and could be enjoying it so much more.” Read the New York Times article below to uncover the apathetic side of the horse meat scandal with interviewees who consider the consumption of horse meat to be a healthy, tasty option. — Global Animal
