Holiday Gift Ideas for Animal Rights
Activists
and the People They Love
by MicheleARivera@aol.com & SavingLife@aol.com
1.
Animal Rights and Vegetarian magazine subscriptions are a great gift to give
this holiday season. Just take the December issue(s) of whatever magazine
you want to give, and wrap it up in a beautiful package. Write a gift
card that says that the magazine has been subscribed to and you are done!
What a superb way of educating family and friends on how to live a cruelty free
lifestyle.
* There are several Vegetarian magazines out such as "Vegetarian
Times." You can find these magazines in large bookstores and just
about any healthfood store.
* A great Animal Rights magazine is Kim Stallwood's "The Animals
Agenda". For more information,
write: PO Box 3083, Langhorne, PA 19047-9294. The subscription runs
$24/year for 6 issues or $48/year for 12 issues.
* Or make a donation to any of the animal-friendly organizations, such as PETA
(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), the HSUS (Humane Society of the
United States), AHA (American Humane Association), or any other organization
that has publications for its members. The HSUS puts out a quarterly
magazine, "Animal Sheltering", for those who may be interested in
working to make our nation's animal shelters better, and AHA has the
"CHAIN" letter, for those tracking cruelty cases and their
outcomes. "CATNIP" is another great new newsletter about feline
behavior, distributed by Tuft's University Veterinary School (800-829.0926).
* If the object of your gift-giving is a lawyer or paralegal, consider a
membership in the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Membership entitles members
to periodic publications of interest to lawyers. (www.aldf.org)
* If your recipient is in the medical field, consider a gift membership with
the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Their quarterly
publication, "Good Medicine," is of interest to anyone in the medical
or nutritional community. (www.pcrm.org). Medical/nutritional
types will also enjoy Foods That Fight Pain, by Dr. Neal Bernard.
* A gift for that special teacher in your childs' life is a subscription to
KindNews, the humane newspaper for schoolchildren. The HSUS has a
whole educational branch called NAHEE (http://www.hsus.org/fun/nahee.html).
Send in a small donation and your teacher-friend will become a member for a
year. This is a great resource for teachers who are looking to help raise a
more compassionate society. For more information, contact KindNews
at 690 434-9666, or write to them at Kind News, P.O. Box 362, East Haddam,
CT 06432. E-mail is nahee@nahee.org, website is www.nahee.org.
As a Humane Educator in my own area (I am avoiding telling you that I live in
Palm Beach County), I have found KindNews to be a wonderful resource for me as
well, and there are different materials for differing ages, meeting all age
requirements and relating to different ages of children.
2. I don't know about all of you, but I first became involved in animal
rights due to some literature that was mailed to my house. If it wasn't
for the text that I read, I may not be such the animal advocate that I am
today. I still find it very important to continue to educate myself on
animal rights and the travesties that occur daily in this world. Whether
the person on your list is already an activist or is almost there, but just
needs a little push, consider buying them some of the following books:
* Diet for a New America, by John Robbins (the book that changed my life
forever) is a great gift. This book covers all the benefits of the
vegetarian diet including health, religion, and ethical reasons. John has
another book out now called, Reclaiming Our Health - Exploding the Medical
Myth and Embracing the Source of True Healing.
* Vegetarian Cook Books, such as Moosewoods selections or Linda
McCartney's vegetarian cookbooks are always a delight, and so much fun to cook
from with all the little illustrations!
* The National Anti-Vivisection Society announces the release of its 8th
edition of Personal Care for People Who Care. A well-researched,
200-page reference manual for shoppers, this work is considered one of the most
comprehensive guides available for choosing cruelty-free cosmetics, household
products, and personal care items. Costing only $4.95, the paperback is
well worth the investment for the armchair animal advocate. It's also an
easy way for anyone to start their own cruelty-free lifestyle revolution.
* Jane Goodall's newest offering, Reason for Hope, is a great read and
speaks to the heart. Jane tells the story of how she became involved in
the animal advocacy world and why. I found she was speaking from
experiences that I shared as a young child.
* For the children on your list, any of the children's books by the late James
Herriott would be a terrific way to introduce children to animals and may bring
about a love for animals that will last them a lifetime. My favorite
children's book from James Herriott is Only One Woof. Other
children's books can be found by visiting PETA's website.
* Another great book for children is Dear Socks, Dear Buddy, by First
Lady Hillary Clinton. This is a heartwarming book of letters written by
children all over the country to the "first pets." Mrs. Clinton
is an advocate of early sterilization and says so in her book.
* Dog owners would do well to have in their library the Complete Guide To
Dog Care, by Marion S. Lane and the Humane Society of the United
States. This book explains a great deal about canine behavior and medical
treatments. Or, for a fun gift, try any of the Dummies or Idiot's guides
to raising dogs and/or cats!
* Got some friends that aren't quite "there" yet when it comes to
animals? Marilu Henner has a great new book out, Total Makeover.
SSHHH! It's a vegan treatise disguised as a mainstream, self-help
book.
* Robin Cook, author of such medical mysteries as COMA, has a book out called Toxin.
It will make even the most ardent burger-lover think twice and Nicholas Sparks,
"The Loop" will break even the coldest heart of steel.
While none of these books are "animal rights" books, their messages
are loud and clear.......leave the animals ALONE.
3. There are many animal lovers who cannot have a pet of their own due to
medical reasons or work and personal schedules that are too hectic to devote
the time and attention necessary to care for a pet. However, there are
many no-kill shelters that conduct "sponsor a pet" programs. By
giving the gift of a sponsored pet, you can help a friend or family member
fulfill the desire to help save animals without directly housing one of their
own.
Contact one of your local no-kill shelters to see if they have any sort of
programs intact. Better yet, there is a very reliable, amazing
organization, the "Pet Action League," which has a website where you
can sponsor a pet via an online transaction. For only $20, you can help
ensure that an unwanted cat or dog has enough food, maintenance, and medical
attention to last for a year!
There's truly no greater gift for the animal lover than the gift of knowing that
they helped to save a life. Visit the link below and help create a
Christmas to remember...for you, the gift recipient, and the animal whose life
you've helped save.

4. Perhaps the best source for
cruelty-free, animal rights paraphernalia is the PETA catalog. In the
latest Fall edition you will find many of the old favorites, plus some new,
very interesting items.
In addition to books (animal rights materials, cook books, and children's
books), you will find stickers, pins, coffee mugs, calendars, cards, magnets,
tote bags, pet toys and foods, and many, many more products ~ all totally
cruelty-free and they help sponsor one of the most productive animal rights
organizations out there.
To
access the catalog online, visit http://petacatalog.com/peta/default.asp
5.
You may know someone who is simply dying to have a pet. However,
Christmas is a very hectic time of year and does not provide for the right
atmosphere to bring a new animal into a home.
Instead of giving animals as gifts this Christmas, why not put together a
basket of animal supplies: pet food, toys, bedding, and other
accessories. Get some pamphlets from your local animal shelters on such
subjects as the pet overpopulation crisis, puppy mills, and any other
information you can find to encourage the pet seeker to adopt a pet from a
rescue organization, rather than a pet store or a breeder, and place these
pamphlets in with the supplies. Perhaps you can even provide the receiver
with an IOU that says, once the holidays are over and the individual is fully
prepared to house a new roommate, you will personally accompany them to the
shelter of their choice and pay for the adoption fees of the animal of their
choosing. Whatever you do, please wait until the holidays are over before
you invest in a pet.
6. There are numerous stores out there dedicated to animals and their
rights. They offer every product under the sun. The difference
between them and other companies is that we can buy their products with a clear
conscious, knowing that no animals suffered for anything they market.
These stores include Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret, and Origins.
There's also a few online stores that aren't as well known. That's about
to change. For any and every cruelty free product under the sun, (the
gift doesn't even have to be for an activist) visit some of the following
sites:
Aesop's:
www.aesopinc.com
Pangea: www.pangeaveg.com
The Enviroshop: www.enviroshop.com
You can also purchase "Origins" products online at: www.origins.com
7.
Just about everyone knows at least one person who has a pet at home that is not
yet spayed or neutered but is of an age where reproduction is highly
possible. A perfect gift for this person on our lists is a spay or neuter
gift certificate! You will not only be helping your friend or family
member to do what is right, but you will be preventing more lives from entering
this cold, uncaring world. Remember, millions of dogs and cats are being
killed each year because there are just not enough homes for them.
8. Most everyone enjoys watching wildlife. Not only would a
birdfeeder and/or birdbath be a great gift and source of entertainment for the
receiver, but it would help ensure that those little critters outside have a daily
source of food and clean water...as long as your friend or family member
remembers to feed them and keep the bath clean! :) To help ensure the
feeders are kept full, you can also pick up a large sack of bird seed.
9. Cecie McCaffery is a fellow vegetarian/animal advocate who creates
beautiful animal rights cards. "PINX" cards feature whimsical,
die cut watercolor designs, which showcase animals and children interacting
peacefully in numerous vignettes. An even closer look reveals them using
recycling bins, wearing "fake furs", or decorating artificial
Christmas trees. Most cards have a statement on the back which Cecie uses
as a forum to express her thoughts, ranging from those of a spiritual and
philosophic nature, to issues revolving around animals, the environment,
dreams, and hopes for a noble future. For more information, contact:
Pinx A
Card Company, Inc
P O Box 1168,
Studio City, CA 91604
Tel: 800-544-7469 or 805-498-7521
Fax: (800) 443-4441 or 805-498-8620
10.
You know those little stands that pop up in the malls around this time of year;
the ones that sell the personalized license plates? Why not get the
animal rights advocate or the vegetarian on your list one of these plates with
a pro-animal message on it? One of our staff members has such a plate
with, "Eat Your Veggies, Not Your Friends" on theirs and a picture of
a cow. You can have any message you want engraved on it. The plates
are most often made of a very sturdy material that stands up well to adverse weather
conditions. The average cost is $18. A proud gift for a proud
advocate of animal rights. You can display the message everywhere you go.
11. For those people on your list with a real concern for the environment
and all the creatures on this Earth, a donation in their name to an
organization whose cause they support is a great gift idea. You can keep
the receipt and include it in a Christmas card. Not only will you feel
good knowing that you contributed to a good cause, but the receiver will feel
wonderful as well, knowing there is no greater gift on Earth than that of
helping another being to a better life.
12. You really can't go wrong with gift certificates. Get that
special someone a gift certificate to their favorite veggie restaurant or to a
store, like those mentioned earlier, that support animal rights and don't test
their products on animals or use animal ingredients.
13. I don't know about all of you, but my animal rights mindset has
landed me many requests for pet sitting. A wonderful gift idea that will
cost you virtually nothing is to give your friends, family, and neighbors who
have pets, gift certificates for free pet sitting or walking.
14. Maybe there is someone on your Christmas list who is interested in
being involved in animal rights activism but does not know where to begin or
does not have the supplies. Why not subscribe them up for an action alert
newsletter, such as the "Legislative Action Alert" distributed by the
ASPCA (contact government@aspca.org for more information) and buy them some
stationary, pens, stamps, envelopes, and an address book. A little bit of
money for a gift with a whole lot of heart.
15. There are numerous organizations that conduct "adopt a wild
animal" programs. Your contribution could help save a certain wildlife
species, like a whale, manatee, or wolf. There's no better gift for the
animal rights advocate then the knowledge that they've helped save a
life. For more information on organizations with such programs, please
contact SavingLife@aol.com
16. Perhaps you feel that none of the ideas we presented for you will
appeal to that certain someone on your list. Well, we've found a solution
for you! If you enjoy shopping online and avoiding the hustle and bustle
of the malls, you can do so while supporting SPEAK (Supporting and Promoting
Ethics for the Animal Kingdom). Speak is a national humane education
speakers' bureau and activist organization. They teach about animal rights and
environmental issues in universities, colleges, high schools and elementary schools.
Simply visit www.speakingout.org and click on the "Shop at SPEAK"
button and then on the "Shop2Give" logo. Every purchase you
make will generate a donation for this wonderful organization with NO
additional cost to you. Shop2Give is composed of 80 participating stores,
such as JC Penney, Office Max, ESPN, Borders, and the Disney Store. In
addition, 100 additional stores, including Spiegel and Old Navy, offer gift
certificates.
17. And one more thing ~ Cookies for your hound! Here's a great cruelty-free
recipe for you to make up gift baskets for your own bow-wow and all his
friends! Better yet, make a couple extra batches and take some down to
share with the animals at the shelters.
Vegan Dog Biscuit Recipe
9 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
Mix dry ingredients. Add approximately 3 cups water. Knead into a pliable
dough. Roll out to 1/8" thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Bake for
10-15 minutes at 350°F. (Important: After turning off oven, leave biscuits in
the oven overnight or for an 8-hour period so they become hard and crunchy.) (reprinted

The GREAT APE Trial
from probonobo@sprynet.com
http://gat.lrhs.swlauriersb.qc.ca/index.htm
WHO: The project was designed for Grade 11
students.
WHAT: The project is a mock trial in an actual courtroom. Although a real “great
ape trial” is still somewhere in the future, the case these students will be
arguing is as realistic as it comes. It is based on a hypothetical brief to the
U.S. Supreme Court written by Lee Hall, a Washington, D.C. animal rights
lawyer. The plaintiff in the case is Evelyn Hart, a 9 year old chimpanzee,
represented in court by a guardian ad litem. She is asking the court to
recognize her as a “person” under the law, thus making it unlawful to confine,
torture or deprive her of her life without due process.
WHERE: Both the high school and the courtroom are in Lachute, Quebec
WHEN: The trial is December 5, 2000 from 9:30 am to 4:30pm
WHY: As a teacher of a course for which there are no texts, I am constantly on
the look-out for intellectually and morally chewy tidbits to toss into the
cauldron of my classroom. When I recently came across an article on the Great
Ape Project I immediately sensed that it was an exciting opportunity to enter a
new and contentious arena of social debate. After 15 years of putting on mock
euthanasia trials I knew that such a project would require rigorous
inter-disciplinary investigation of science, law, medicine and ethics to move
students from their initial emotional response to an informed, intelligent
opinion. Along the way they would probably end up questioning some of their
most fundamental assumptions about what it means to be a person, the value of
human life, and our role in the natural world.
THE PROJECT began in September with a general introduction to the
subject. After about 6 weeks students were assigned specific roles to
play. These included lawyers for the
defense and plaintiff, witnesses, judges, jurors and journalists. Using actual
medical, ethical and legal texts, students began to narrow and deepen their investigation
in order to find answers to specific questions defined by their roles.. Doctors
for example, have had to learn about the pros and cons of using animals in
medical research. Bioethicists have had
to read about speciesism and the meaning of personhood. The primatologist has
had to become an expert on chimpanzees.
Simultaneously, in a separate section of the course, the jury has had to
learn how to disagree skillfully, listen to, and reason with people whose views
differ from their own, and practice reaching a decision by consensus.
Perhaps their greatest challenge has been to rise above their personal
prejudices in order to make decisions based on relevant laws and actual
testimonies.
On December 5, 2000 both groups will come together in a real courtroom and
spend from 9 am to 4:30 pm putting on their trial. All of the roles, from judge
to jury, witnesses to press, will be assumed by the students.
This project would not have been possible without the support of many adults
who have acted as mentors, provided concrete information for the students, and
given me the knowledge I needed to create the project. Their generosity,
combined with the incredible linking power of the Internet, has transformed The
Great Ape Trial Project from an ordinary mock trial to a true example of 21st
century education. It linked the lawyers and witnesses to their mentors, and
the journalists to their readers. The creation of our own website has truly
created a window to bring the world into our classroom, and take us outside
these concrete walls.
To all of you who are visiting our web page, thank you. Your genuine interest
in what these students feel and think about this issue demonstrates in a very
concrete way that the voices of young people matter. They are ready and able to
assume an important role in exposing, discussing and resolving serious social
issues.

Campaign For Responsible
Transplantation
PRESS RELEASE
November 27, 2000
Contact: Alix Fano
Tel. (212) 579-3477
Anti-Xenotransplantation Coalition Files Lawsuit Against FDA Claims Agency is
Withholding Information on Clinical Trials, Hiding Dangers
The Campaign for Responsible Transplantation (CRT), a coalition of 90 public
interest groups, filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court today to obtain
records from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on clinical trials in which
animal cells, tissue, and organs have been implanted into humans.
CRT's lawsuit charges that the FDA repeatedly ignored its requests for
information, initially filed back in March 2000, and ultimately violated the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by improperly withholding records.
The FOIA requires federal agencies to release documents to the public upon
request, unless specific statutory exemptions apply. In its lawsuit, CRT
explains that the records it requested should not be exempt from disclosure
since trial sponsors have themselves divulged details about the human
experiments to the media and the public through press releases, the Internet,
and presentations at FDA-sponsored public meetings.
"We know, through articles in scientific journals and magazines like The
New England Journal of Medicine, Transplantation, New Scientist and others,
that since the early 1990s, over a dozen patients have died, and countless
others have experienced adverse side-effects in xenotransplant experiments
using body parts from genetically altered pigs and/or baboons," says CRT's
Director Alix Fano. "This is not the rosy picture of
xenotransplantation portrayed in newspapers and TV programs. We believe
the public has a right to all the facts; apparently, FDA doesn't," says
Fano.
Biotechnology companies and government health officials are promoting
xenotransplantation as a panacea for the perceived human organ and tissue
shortage despite mounting concerns about safety. The FDA, which has
approved over a dozen clinical xenotransplant trials, has admitted that the
technology could facilitate the transmission of known or as yet unrecognized
animal viruses to patients and the general public. Indeed, last October,
baboon Cytomegalovirus was detected in stored blood and tissue samples of a
baboon liver recipient who died in 1992.
When viewed within the context of emerging infectious diseases like nvCJD
("mad cow disease"), AIDS (which some scientists believe originated
in chimpanzees), a growing catalogue of new pig viruses, and recent gene
therapy fiascos in which patients died and side-effects were covered up, the
U.S.'s enthusiasm for using genetically altered pigs as organ factories is
disturbing.
"We believe there has been a pattern of secrecy within the FDA and other
federal agencies with respect to xenotransplantation," says Fano.
"The purpose of CRT's lawsuit is to break through the wall of secrecy so
that the public interest can be served." The lawsuit is being
handled by the Washington, DC public interest law firm, Meyer &
Glitzenstein.

Specify United Way Donations to
Help Animals
by Bob Chorush - bob@wolfenet.com
The
National Trappers' Discussion list is encouraging trappers who donate or get
employer matching donations to the United Way to request their donations go to
FBU ( FurBearers Unlimited ), a 501(c)3 entirely under the control of the
National Trappers Association.
The following is a trapper's posting on how the FBU board is selected:
"Here is another option that will help trapping; Donate via United Way
but specify where the money is to go - to the sister organization of the NTA,
FurBearers Unlimited [FBU]. NTA lobbies congress and therefore are not eligible
as a recipient of "tax deductible" donations. As a 501-C-3 approved
corporation FBU can receive "tax deductible" donations. The FBU Board
of Directors is set at 7 in the bylaws, four of which are specified as the
current NTA officers. The other three are elected by the initial four. NTA has
control of FBU. You can donate directly to FBU by mailing your contribution to:
FurBearers Unlimited, Attn Chris Forrest, PO Box 4129, Bloomington, IL 61702."
If you donate to the United Way, SPECIFY a local animal group to receive your
donation; otherwise a portion of your donation may be used to support animal
trapping. (Also check PCRM at http://www.charitiesinfo.org/
and
PETA web at http://www.peta-online.org/liv/cc/ccchartest.html
to avoid charities that experiment on animals!)

At Christmas
by Guila Manchester
The card I send to you this year
Will not be thoughts of Christmas cheer
Or Santa riding in a sleigh
With loads of gifts to come your way.
A starving dog, a homeless cat,
A beaver lying in a trap,
A sparrow punctured in the eyes
To win some kid a science prize,
A horse that's trampled in a ditch
To make a movie baron rich,
A tiny baby left alone,
Old folks forgotten in a home.
If you believe in God at all,
Then love His creatures, great and small,
And help in any way you can
A suffering beast or bird or man.
If you believe these things are wrong
Then let this be your Christmas song
And raise your voice with all your might,
For only you can make them right.
