5 cups fresh sliced strawberries
3 cups sliced rhubarb
2 tbsp maple syrup
Pinch of salt

2/3 cup cold Earth Balance margarine or vegetable Shortening
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup organic granulated sugar
2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt

EVERYWHERE: CALL TO STOP CRUEL PIG LAB!!

Action Alerts & Updates (FROM www.farmsanctuary.org) Stop Cruel Pig Lab - August 4, 2008
On August 7, the Omni Interlocken Resort is hosting an event in which pigs will be killed and sacrificed in a “Hands-On Pig Lab” to demonstrate electrosurgical tools. The Pig Lab is being devised by Covidien Electrosurgery, a company that performs laboratory tests on animals in order to market its surgical tools. Formerly known as ValleyLab, Covidien has a history of controversy, including an incident that prompted the University of Colorado at Denver to ban all non-research vivisection in 2007. The August 7 event advertises, “Procedures that will be performed include: ureteral dissection, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy, repair of simulated bowel and bladder injury, bowel resection, ureteral re-anasomosis, and liver resection.”
In other words, pigs will be mutilated and cut apart at the August 7 so that Covidien can hawk its wares to buyers. You Can Help!  Contact the Hotel that is hosting the conference in which Covidien’s cruel Pig Lab will be performed. Tell them that animal cruelty is a black mark on their name, and that you will not patronize a place that plays host to such gratuitous abuse.

Her office’s number is 212-789-1500 And here’s a sample script for what you might want to say:”Hello. I heard that Donna Karan continues to use real fur in her designs. I wanted to let you know that animals are abused for every bit of fur on collars, cuffs, and other accessories. They are often killed by neck-breaking, electrocution, gassing, or in traps. Please make the compassionate decision to stop selling fur. I will be boycotting all Donna Karan products until you stop selling fur. www.furisdead.com

NEW YORK: Candle 79 dinner to support California’s Farm Animal Cruelty Act

Come join the GirlieGirl Army and others on the evening of August 13th at Candle 79 (www.Candle79.com) to show your support for California’s Farm Animal Cruelty Act.  If passed, this legislation will provide the most basic protection to farm animals: merely allowing them to turn around and extend their limbs. Specifically, the measure would prevent three of the most cruel and inhumane forms of extreme confinement in the world of animal agribusiness: veal crates, battery cages, and gestation crates. All three of these practices have already been legislated against in the European Union. The vote takes place November 4th, 2008, and the organization Californians for Humane Farms needs your help to spread the word to voters.  Candle 79, the upscale vegan eatery in Manhattan’s Upper East Side will be donating 10% of its sales on the evening of August 13th to benefit the initiative.  Come join us for delicious organic vegan cuisine and help this measure get passed.  For reservations, call us at 212-537-7179 and mention this fundraiser. 
 For more information about the California Farm Animal Cruelty Act, check out http://www.humanecalifornia.org/.  If you cannot join us that evening, you can also help by donating as little as $20 through the Humane Society of the United States webpage, https://secure.hsus.org/01/chf_2020?qp_source=chf005.  Thanks for your support and we hope to see you at Candle 79 on August 13th.

LOS ANGELES: JOIN ALL THE COOL KIDS FOR A DEMO AGAINST DOG AND CAT FUR!

The Olympics should be a time of celebration. The achievements of the athletes who have reached China are magnificent. But for animals living in China, especially the victims of the fur trade, we must raise our voices. Please join IDA on Friday August 8th, 2008 - the opening day of the Beijing Olympics, to protest against the torture and abuse of millions of animals on Chinese fur farms. China is one of the world’s largest suppliers of animal fur. More than 95 percent of China’s finished fur garments are exported for sale overseas, and many of them go to North America. According to a PETA investigation, dog and cat fur is often intentionally mislabeled as “Asian jackal” or “rabbit” fur. While fur farming is a cruel practice anywhere, the animals slaughtered on Chinese farms undergo horrible cruelty due to the lack of animal protection laws. Millions of animals live their entire lives cramped in wire cages before they are bludgeoned and skinned alive.

What You Can Do:

1. On Aug 8, contact the Chinese Embassy and tell them to create and enforce meaningful animal protection laws. Chinese Embassy in Washington DC 2201 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C. 20007 Tel: (202) 338-6688, (202)588-9760 Fax: (202) 588-9760

2.  Demonstrate at a Chinese Consulate near you: http://www.visarite.com/chnConsulate.htm

3. If you live in the Los Angeles area, attend a demo: What: Demonstration against China’s Fur Trade

When: August 8, 11 AM – 1 PM Where: Corner of North Broadway and Cesar Chavez, Chinatown, Los Angeles. Parking is available across the street for $5. IDA will supply all the signs and fliers – all you need to do is show up and speak up!  Help us educate the public about the treatment of animals, particularly cats and dogs, in China’s fur industry. For further information, contact Bill Dyer, bill@idausa.org , Phone, 310-301-7730. More About China’s Fur Industry. Paul McCartney vowed in 2005 never to perform in China and to boycott the upcoming Beijing Olympics after viewing a video taken at a Chinese fur market.

  • Meet Bubbles the Blue-nosed Female Pitbull, about 1 yr old. Bubbles is sooo sweet and super friendly, great with other dogs, and looking for affection. Bubbles is healthy and needs someone to continue to help her learn good potty habits and crate-training. Bubbles’ owner was deployed to Iraq and this pup needs a temporary home until adopted. If someone can open their home to Bubbles for a few weeks (or interested in adopting), please email Lori - moberma@ca.rr.com All food, supplies and Vet care will be provided. Bubbles just needs love, patience and a place for pup to lay her head.
