Edward Norton is supporting a bill introduced to the California State Assembly by members Paul Fong and Jared Huffman that would ban the sale of shark fins in California.

Norton has been active with WildAid, a group that’s been tracking the shark fin trade for years and is trying to reduce the demand for shark fins internationally.

“As a life-long diver, I have seen the depletion of sharks caused by the shark fin trade first-hand all over the world from Indonesia to the Galapagos Islands,” Norton said. “The Fong/Huffman bill is a vital step towards reducing demand and protecting these important animals and has my full support.”

Dusty the burglar has a habit of wandering into the night and coming home with items that don’t belong to him. It doesn’t matter what kind of security you invest in, any thief that measures about 45 centimeters in length will find a way to get in and get your things.

Although Dusty the cat steals many items from his neighbors in San Mateo, California, he especially has a fetish for swimsuits hanging out to dry.

Japan has suspended whaling in the Antarctic until further notice due to the extensive actions performed by anti-whaling activists, Sea Shepherd.

Sea Shepherd sails the seas where whalers hunt and uses tactics such as throwing rancid butter on the whaling ships in an attempt to slow down and stop whaling. These protests are the basis for the popular Animal Planet show, Whale Wars.

The hunt was halted on February 10th, but this isn’t the first year Sea Shepherd has thwarted the performance of whalers.

Bob Barker was a guest on The Craig Ferguson Show when the topic turned to sex.

“That’s what I’m staying in shape for,” the 87-year old told Ferguson.

While we can’t comment on Barker’s prowess in the bedroom, we can vouch that he’s still going strong in the animal rights world. The most recent example of Bob’s outspokenness involves him calling for the release of the elephants in a Toronto zoo, citing they need a warmer climate.

“It was never intended for elephants to be in such cold weather,” Barker told the Toronto Star. “And in captivity, the biggest cause of death for elephants is foot problems. They develop foot problems, and they become infected; that infection spreads all over their body, and they die, die much earlier than they would in the wild.”

Several high profile retailers, including The Gap, Macy’s and Liz Claiborne Inc., are urging Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), which represents Australian wool producers, to phase out the practice of mulesing. Mulesing involves cutting a part of the lamb’s rear out in order to prevent maggots eating the animal’s flesh. Animal activists say this is usually done without anesthesia.

AWI had originally promised to stop the practice of mulesing by 2013, but is now shying away from this promise, something that has angered American wool buyers.

Oh, dear Gaga.

While arriving at the Grammy’s in an egg you would later hatch out of is not nearly as smelly as the meat dress you wore last year, we’d still rather see you in some animal-free attire, like lettuce leaves.

If you missed the singer’s grand arrival being carried by her servants, or, uh, people paid too much money to join in on the ridiculousness, you can view that below. However, it’s also a perfect time to discuss what goes into an egg label.

Free-roaming? Cage-free? Certified Humane? Gaga Approved?

Confusing terms such as those mentioned above can all be deciphered on the Humane Society’s article on Egg Carton Labels: A brief guide to labels and animal welfare.
