Where are all the vegetarians?
As popular as the “vegetarian lifestyle,” as it’s often called, is becoming, and as important as a sustainable world is for us to attain for our own very survival, you would think that there would be several vegetarian cooking shows. Not only that, but that all of the mainstream shows would also start offering up more ways to eat locally, with a smaller eco footprint, and definitely meatlessly—at least on several episodes a week.

Oh my, it must be Giant Wasp Season. Hadn't you heard? I started noticing giant wasps over the weekend. Not just regular wasps, I'm accustomed to (for example) mud dauber wasps. I'm talking GIANT wasps, about the size of my pinkie finger, no lie.The first thing I did was Google these monsters. I mean, after the part where I ran inside squealing in terror, obviously. The bad news: there are several kinds of giant wasps you might encounter. The good news... Read More
Have you ever tortured a hamster? I am ashamed to admit that as a young pet owner, I once did. I was about four, maybe five years old. My friend and I put my hamster in the middle of a bed sheet we stretched out between us, and we jostled it around, lifting it up and down, catching the poor thing as it went up and down. She was okay and did not get sick, thankfully, but it was a super stupid thing to do.
The thing is, I was a little kid who didn’t know better. Cruelty was certainly not my... Read More

I'm going to chalk this up as further proof in my theory that a sizable portion of eco/enviro/animal types are really just misanthropes.
An, excerpt from Lee's manifesto...
"Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what's left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture."
"The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world.... Read More
 | Summer Love Breyer Special Run from Breyer Horse Talk Comments: 1 |
This pretty fellow was offered up in a super limited edition, and sold out within about an hour. Breyer called him "a beautiful reminder of the summer of 2010," which is as fitting an end to summer as anything! Sad to think that summer has finally come to an end, but I'm afraid it's true.Summer Love is a red dun pinto, using the Make A Wish mold which was created by Kathleen Moody in 2009. According to the Identify Your Breyer website, so far Make A Wish has been used only... Read More
Here is another great campaign from PETA that makes it easy to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. This year, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus will be at Coney Island, depicting live wild animals in cruel, unnatural acts. Among these acts will be perhaps the most offensive of all—the use of the largest land mammals on earth, elephants, in idiotic displays of frivolity and fake merriment.
One of the reasons my mother insisted that we never attend the circus was this... Read More
We don’t really have a dog at our house. I say not really because my aunt, who also lives here, does have a small, very old dog who lives in the basement and backyard. We don’t see her because she snaps at children, though my husband takes care of her when my aunt is away. Someday, when we do get a dog, we’ve talked about getting a nice, big family dog—like a golden retriever. I’ve always wanted one, and my daughter loves dogs. (My husband and I are cat people.)

Hug a Vegetarian Day, which takes place on September 24, is fun whether you’re a vegetarian or not. After all, who couldn’t use a hug? You might wonder why you should hug a vegetarian anyway, especially if you’re not a supporter of animal rights. Vegetarians help the earth, too—a plant-based diet only uses a fraction of the energy and only creates a fraction of the waste a meat-based diet does. So if you normally hug people who bring reusable bags to the grocery store or who recycle their... Read More
If you are looking for a great place to drop off your pup for the day (or for a little vacation) then you should try out the Downtown Dog Lounge - it is so wonderful - and close! I have been taking my little girl there for about a year now and she loves it. What makes Downtown Dog Lounge so wonderful you ask? Well, for starters, they know my dog by name - she is not just a number - and that makes for a really great service experience. Second, as I mentioned before they are really close. There... Read More
The cryptozoology world is lighting up with talk of a video which shows a cryptid many are tentatively identifying as cadborosaurus. The video will be shown on the Discovery Channel some time in September (no air date yet) but several prominent cryptozoologists have seen it already, and feel it's legit. (P.S., stay classy, Cryptomundo.)Cadborosaurus willsi, known colloquially as "Caddy," is a species name coined to cover a sea serpent which is said to frolic off the coast of British... Read More
 | RIP, O'Leary's Irish Diamond from Breyer Horse Talk Comments: 1 |
Breyer recently passed along some very sad new via their Facebook page. O'Leary's Irish Diamond, the subject of a popular Breyer Portrait model and a guest at this summer's BreyerFest, has died.O'Leary's Irish Diamond was a Registered Irish Draught, who was imported to the United States in 1997 after receiving stunningly high marks from the Irish Horse Board breed registry. He continued to receive stellar reviews and scores throughout his career, which included dressage, jumping, and... Read More
Periodically, batches of seals start washing ashore with strange corkscrew wounds. No one has ever conclusively proven what causes these wounds, or why, although there are many theories.The first notable cases of this "corkscrew seal attack" happened at Sable Island, a tiny fingernail clipping of an island in the Atlantic Ocean, 180 miles east of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The uninhabited island is a wildlife preserve protected by the Canadian government.

To preface this, I don’t mean that if you are a Republican you can’t be green—though, obviously, there are more green folks on the left than the right. What I mean is if you profess to have such high eco-friendly standards, you shouldn’t be serving stuff like red meat, bottled water, and bulls*** on your menu. It makes people who do strive to be green see red.
I was reading about a restaurant in St. Louis that professed to be one of the first “green restaurants” in the Midwest. Intrigued, I... Read More
Item: A video of protest against bullfighting.
The AP reports, "More than 100 semi-naked protesters lay down in the shape of a dying bull Saturday outside one of Spain's most iconic buildings -- the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao -- to demand an end to bullfighting in the Basque Region. " See the video.
In the Catalonia region of Spain, the residents have voted to ban bull fighting, starting January 2012. It should have been banned already, yesterday. Anyway, the rest of Spain, and those Latin... Read More
Love them or hate them, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals always create a stir wherever they go. And though many of us have had issues with their prejudices against fat people, their sexist ads, and other problematic themes, one thing cannot be denied—the organization has been effective. It has successfully—with the help of thousands of activists, of course!—stopped the cruelty against many animals and led the way toward reform for lab animals, animals on factory farms, circus...

In the off chance you missed my post about the $100 per way pet fee Alaska Airlines charges you can take a gander here. Wasn't that a pleasant, thought out letter to asking for a meaningful address my issue? Did my letter look like I used a "form letter" or a "bulk response"? It is a shame that a "bulk response" is what I got back! They must have missed my other post about How to Make it in Customer Service. I can tell they did because of the use of a "bulk response" - and if your going to use... Read More
 | Alborozo Madness from Breyer Horse Talk Comments: 3 |
Among non-hobbyists there is a perception that old Breyer horse models are worth a lot of money. For the most part this is untrue - between the sheer volume of Breyer models at large in the world, and the poor condition most of them are in, most collectors are lucky to get list price for their models. There is one notable exception to this rule, and that exception is Alborozo.The real Alborozo is a gorgeous Andalusian stallion who lives at Kilimanjaro Ranch in California. His... Read More
