					<description><![CDATA[UPDATE Nov 26/2024: There&#8217;s a surprising update to this story &#8211; we&#8217;ve got one more reason Oreos aren&#8217;t vegan: they&#8217;re now from a company that does animal testing. PETA has put out the word that Mondelez, the company that owns Oreos, has done some pretty awful stuff recently. (PDF backup.) Now if only PETA would [...]]]></description>

But it desperately needed an update, and while it&#8217;s been on my radar for a few years, just didn&#8217;t have time to get around to it until [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Now that I&#8217;m in Vancouver (just for a couple years &#8211; yuck, I miss Victoria!), I&#8217;m involving myself in some of the local activism. A current urgency is the dealings with the Vancouver Aquarium. They have plans to expand their facility, and opposition has increased significantly since the release of the documentary Blackfish, campaigns and [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A recent National Geographic Magazine features food, and feeding the predicted 9 billion people that are expected to be on planet Earth for 2050. While lacking in conviction, Jonathan Foley does suggest eating less meat and animal products. Like the majority of writers wishing to remain popular, he doesn&#8217;t push for eliminating what is a [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The following piece is from Movement Watch by Lee Hall, in the Winter 2011-12 issue of ActionLine, the Friends of Animals magazine. Unfortunately, some activists have declared what they call &#8216;single-issue&#8217; campaigns a stain on animal rights activism, and these efforts are never to be supported or followed. We believe this is a mistaken way [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Canada frequently trails others in its attitudes and policies regarding animals. Whether it&#8217;s a lack of a meaningful Endangered Species Act or protection of the trees and lands, or support of international treaties, protection for fur-bearing animals or ordinary anti-cruelty measures, Canada&#8217;s record is abysmal. Many people think of Canada and think of the annual [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are generally two sides to a story, but in the case of seals, the majority of Canadian views are being grossly misrepresented at the International level. The European Union (EU) recently banned imports of commercially-killed seal products (fur, oil and flesh), denying Canadian seal-killers profits. Key markets now closed to seal pelts include Denmark, [...]]]></description>
