Ellen DeGeneres recently Tweeted a photo of a baby calf born at a farm animal sanctuary
“Look at this brand new baby calf born yesterday at The Gentle Barn! How sweet is she?”

The Gentle Barn is home to 150 animals (or maybe it is now 151 if they haven’t updated their website yet) that were rescued from abuse and neglect. The baby calf will share its home with horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, llamas, dogs, and cats.

Olivia Munn PETA

Olivia Munn has revealed some details about her seemingly nude photo shoot for PETA where she protested elephants being chained for circuses.

It was all a careful combination of lights, hair placement, and possibly some color retouching on the photo, but she was definitely wearing undies.

“I actually didn’t get naked,” Munn said, according to Fox. “I haven’t gotten naked ever. I was wearing a tank top and boy shorts but I am comfortable with it appearing that way. There is nothing wrong with the naked body, but I wasn’t naked on the set. I wouldn’t be comfortable.”

“About 20 years ago I was chairman of Be Kind to Animals Week in L.A. I was invited by different organizations to participate in their activities. As I did, I began to become aware of the terrible exploitation of animals in the world and felt compelled to try to rectify the situation. And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.”

—Bob Barker, on how he became involved in animal rights, especially by donating money to various organizations, including setting up an Animal Law program at a university and helping PETA renovate a building for their Los Angeles headquarters. Recently, lion cubs freed under the new Bolivian law banning animals in circuses were sent to a refuge made possible by a generous donation from Barker.

Several lion cubs freed under the new law banning animals in circuses in Bolivia will make their new home at the Performing Animal Welfare Society in California that has received generous donations from Bob Barker, vegetarian and former Price Is Right host and animal activist.

Last year, Bolivia banned animals from circuses following undercover investigation by London based group Animal Defenders International, which uncovered severe abuse of the animals. Circus operators were given a year to comply after the law took effect, and groups are trying to find ways to rescue the animals before they are “discarded” by handlers in a less humane manner.

Ellen DeGeneres is featured on the June 2010 cover of Tails Inc.

Inside, the magazine discusses the vegan talk show host announcing the United States Postal Service (USPS) Stamps to the Rescue campaign and its creation of Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet commemorative postage stamps on her daytime television show.

DeGeneres invited U.S. Postmaster General John E. Potter to her March show to unveil the stamps that produced a quarter of a million pre-orders a little over a month later.

“As one of the country’s most influential and high-profile animal advocates, DeGeneres’ willingness to jump in with both feet to partner on this important initiative is hardly surprising. It’s also not surprising Potter chose to focus this year’s USPS social-awareness cause on adopting shelter pets, as he’s an animal lover and enjoys spending time with his pooch at home. But he also might have been swayed toward promoting an animal-welfare issue given the popularity of USPS 2002 social-awareness Neuter or Spay stamp. A full 100 percent of all 200 million stamps were sold.”

Dannii Minogue says she’ll be applying Trilogy‘s Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil and The Everything Balm on her baby bump during pregnancy to keep her skin moist.

While rose hip oil is considered safe during pregnancy, not all oils, such as sage and rosemary are, so it’s always best to check with a medical professional and do your own research.

Trilogy is a cruelty-free company that does not test on animals, rather studies are “undertaken by happy human volunteers,” according to its website.

Trilogy Organic Rose Hip Oil

Most Trilogy products are vegan, with the exception of the Intensive Lip Treatment (contains Beeswax), Gentle Facial Exfoliant (contains Honey), Ultra Hydrating Cream (contains Honey), and Everything Balm (contains Honey).

The company has been involved with supporting numerous charitable organizations for both humans and animals, including The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty To Animals, World Society for the Protection of Animals and Choose Cruelty-Free Ltd. Australia.

Dr. Phil recently confronted a man on his show who was convicted of a felony for his involvement with dog fighting.

Apparently, applying the stick of justice did nothing to change this man’s views, as he still believes dog fighting is not a crime and is no different from “football or boxing.”

Hmm…Well, if you don’t count the fact that people play the above sports, not animals.

And they’re usually consenting to this and are aware of the risks.

Plus, football or boxing doesn’t involve fighting to death…then sure, no difference at all!

Dr. Phil isn’t too happy about the Supreme Court decision to strike down a law making the sale of certain videos involving animal cruelty illegal, either.

He posted to his blog:

“I was sick to my stomach. Dogfighting is illegal in this country but selling a dog-fighting video isn’t? We’re seriously going to let people profit from their films of pets being abused? Is there anyone out there who thinks that is even close to being the right thing to do?”

The Humane Society of the United States statistics show there are about 40,000 dog fighters in the United States who call themselves “professional.”

Unlike the rest of the country, these professionals need to experience a permanent recession!
