Jockey Liam Hollins The Favorite To Brutally Whip Horse To Kentucky Derby Win

The Kentucky Derby ends today, much to the relief of animal lovers everywhere that know many horses don’t make it through the race uninjured–or alive.

The Onion has provided a little satire to the situtation, as news anchors provide commentary on the champion “Horse beaters,” and the techniques they use to make horses race faster in a sport where “there are no rules.”

Pamela Anderson says seals are being killed, but no one’s buying.

In a letter to the Canadian Ambassador to the U.S., Gary Doer, Pamela questions the continuation of the annual seal hunt despite signs the market is declining.

She then questions if the government is subsidizing hunters.

“Why it is that sealers in Québec were forced to throw their pelts overboard because of the lack of markets, while in Newfoundland, a certain processor is seemingly able to find people willing to pay double last year’s value of a pelt?”

“Given sealing-industry insiders’ reports of a negative market outlook for this year and given the accounts claiming that some processors have two to three years of pelts stockpiled that they cannot get rid of, who or where is the market for the 65,000 seals who have been killed this year.”

According to PETA, Pamela made the effort to personally hand deliver the letter with her questions to Mr. Doer.

Canada’s seal hunt ended early this year, a combination of both reduced demand and low harvest.

According to Harpseals, Larry Yetman, fisheries resource management officer for the Newfoundland and Labrador coastal region, pretty much confirmed Pamela’s statements regarding the demand for pelts.

Although pelt prices were selling for nearly double compared to last year’s–at $21–fisherman knew their efforts to collect would not be profitable, as the number of ships that launched from Newfoundland’s ports was down by 500.

“Every sealer in Newfoundland would have considered going out on the ice for that price, but there aren’t any buyers,” Yetman said.

“I am very into a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. I love seeking out cool places to eat and buy food that are sourced from farmers and people who love good food. I tend to meet a lot of likeminded people this way and just like when I am travelling I make friends wherever I am, and end up seeing things I would never have found on my own.”

Tippi Hedren, founder of the sanctuary to 61 lions, tigers and other big cats, was recently on “The View From The Bay” to discuss the Shambala Preserve for cats and animal rights.

Tippi lives on the site of the sanctuary, and although tours are given once a month for a small donation, Tippi insists the animals aren’t there just to be watched and entertain, but it’s there “home.”

“I, along with millions of people are fascinated by the exotic feline,” the mother of actress Melanie Griffith says.

A Humane Society of the United States representative was set to question Domino’s Pizza this week at a shareholder’s meeting on the restaurant’s use of pork sourced from farmers who keep pigs in gestation crates, small enclosures where pregnant female pigs are kept.

Kristine Middleton, corporate outreach manager for the HSUS, was scheduled to address executives at a meeting in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Middleton said that seven states, including Domino’s headquarters of Michigan, have made it illegal to keep pigs in crates.

According to Pizza Market Place, many fast food companies such such as Chipotle, Burger King and Panera are all phasing in the use of gestation crate free pork.

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

If a man had been given the opportunity to write Skinny Bastard, the male component to the best selling vegan diet book by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, Skinny Bitch,  John Joseph would have been the ideal candidate.

His latest book due out May 15, Meat Is For Pussies, appropriately titled as the guide for how to “get fit, kick ass and take names” is meant to shatter the myth that going meatless takes away the manly in anyone with a Y chromosome.

The Dish is Vegetarian has an exclusive excerpt from the book that tells men they can either “continue living like a pussy” or take charge of their health.

If you can get past that episode of Dinner with the Band that had Rufus Wainwright as a guest at the table for a meal of rabbit food (and no, we don’t mean greens), you might be excited to hear he’s a fan of macrobiotic food.

In the New York Post‘s 10 of the Moment article, Wainwright says he likes to frequent Souen on East 13th Street.

“It’s a great place to get macrobiotic food, but the only problem is you get gassy. But it’s cool to stink,” he said.

Can’t smell any worse than fried rabbit legs.

Souen is very vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Since some types of fish are sometimes used in macrobiotic eating, this is a place for pescatarians as well.

Try the homemade seitan dumplings filled with “seitan, chinese cabbage, scallion, shiitake, garlic, and ginger.”

You may stink later, but the food will smell great as you eat it.
