Good Rolling Stone article

Multi media article on the cost of cheap meat. You want to talk about animal cruelty, our own factory farms are the place to start. Seriously good piece.

I don't eat meat, chicken, any of it (thanks in great part to golfer) but there are certain things I just can't even bear to look at.

I'm glad you posted it and am sure it's a great piece. I have seen enough of these types of things to last a few lifetimes.

Thank God for people who can bear to look and write, photograph and post such things.

Of course, assorted state governments' way of dealing with this sort of exposé is to make it illegal to photograph these cruelties:

Because that's the way to deal with barbarity. Hide it and pretend it's not happening.

Shark’s fin trade faces extinction

Stephanie Lai | 02/01/2014 | Macau Business Daily

Macau sellers of shark’s fin have felt a sharp decline in business volume last year, amid pressure from environmentalists and Beijing’s drive against conspicuous consumption by officials.

“Even though we are in the peak season for seafood shopping, from November to January – a period in which people usually buy some shark’s fin for Chinese New Year – we now have only one or two customers buying shark’s fin per month,” she said.

Yay! One of my favorite animals and perhaps this will draw attention to the Snow Leopard Trust http://www.snowleopard.org/ and Panthera http://www.panthera.org/content/tis-season-snow-angels both really amazing foundations.
